PHOENIX WRIGHT OVERVIEW [0201] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a point and click text adventure for Nintendo DS. The game depicts about the legal system in a fictional world where the golden rule of their criminal code is: "Guilty until proven innocent" (instead of innocent until proven guilty). The burden of proof lies in the defense's shoulder (instead of the prosecutor) to prove that his client is innocent. In this game, we are playing as a young man by the name of Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney who seems to always get involve in interesting cases throughout his career. His confidence bluffing during the trial has helped him a lot in prolonging the trial, preventing the judge from declaring his client to be GUILTY, so he can have more time to find more evidence to help his client. He also carries out investigation in the crime scene and its surrounding by himself (and his ONE assistant!) in order to build a strong case for his client. Most of the prosecutors Phoenix faced in the game are obsessed with a "perfect" record, i.e. they have a 100% record that the defendant would always get a GUILTY verdict in their case (they even forge the evidence in order to accomplish this!). Well, that's before they have to deal with Phoenix Wright. Somehow, Phoenix managed to win his case in almost every trial, even though the situation in the first hearing looks almost impossible to turn around. That's why all the episodes have the word "Turnabout" in their titles and Phoenix Wright is called an ACE ATTORNEY!! (and we have a game to play...) This second game contains a lot of spoilers from the first game, so unless you don't plan to play the first game for a long time (or you like to be spoiled), you may want to play the first game first before starting on this game. The original game is also a lot easier compared to its sequel, as Phoenix was still an amateur defense attorney in the first game. The episodes and scripts in Phoenix Wright games are nothing short of wonderful and entertaining! They were really well-done and easy to understand. Even the localisation and the translation of the scripts (which are originally Japanese) are excellent. Although there are multitude of spelling mistakes and grammar errors in this second game, most of the humour and the meaning of the texts are not lost and can be easily understood by the Western society. One might say this game is like a live interactive crime-fiction book with beautiful graphics. And that's true! If you enjoy thinking logically and reading mystery or crime-fiction/detective book, this game is for you. I guarantee you will love it! _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� III. ABOUT THIS GUIDE [0301] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� oo---------------------------------------------------------------------------oo | THIS GAME SCRIPT DOCUMENT CONTAINS A LOT OF SPOILERS. PLEASE STOP READING | | HERE IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS GAME. THE SCRIPT WILL BE MORE ENJOYABLE TO | | BE READ IF YOU HAVE FINISHED THE GAME AT LEAST ONCE. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o oo-------------------------oo | The Purpose of This Guide | [0311] o---------------------------o Ever wonder what you will get if you chose that other choices? Oh, you forgot to save and you didn't have enough life bar; also you were too thrilled to stop and try the other option because you wanted to finish the case asap! Or do you ever wonder what all those fast texts are actually saying? Stuff like Wellington's blabbering, Moe's random stuff, Oldbag's chatters, etc. Or see what funny things will ensue when Phoenix present some random stuff to various people during investigation... Or you want to reference and find the exact quote of some memorable or silly stuff that being said throughout the game... Or you just want to read the case again like a book! Whatever your need is, this game script should be able to help you, because as has been said above, Phoenix Wright game is a text adventure game, which means the text IS the game! It is just like an interactive book (with beautiful graphics of course!), so if you have played the game and want to have some more nostalgia with it, this script is for you! _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� oo----------oo | Formatting | [0321] o------------o Game script can look a bit like a text dump, aka wall of (meaningless) text in random order. Therefore, some formatting needs to be done in order for these texts to appear in a meaningful sequence and easily searchable. There are two distinct parts in this game, the investigation part and the trial. The formatting for each part is quite different, but there are a few things that remain the same for both parts: 1. Basic formatting <Name tag>: Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 --> The lines were cut off as they were in the game, for authenticity. --> If there isn't any <Name tag>, it means the game also did not have it. 2. A full ---- line --> Indicates a change of scene. 3. A halfway ---- line --> Indicates a minor change of situation, usually a flashback or a black screen (when thinking) or a person going out. 4. xxx three-sided box --> You will lose some of your life bar if you choose to do this. 5. *** three-sided box --> Choice. At the end of this box, there is usually an indication for you to CONTINUE or RETURN TO QUESTION. 6. RETURN TO THE QUESTION BEFORE IT --> Going back up to the original question (to prevent dead-end loop). 7. All misspells and grammar mistakes from the game were put in here as is. The following sections will specify the formatting of this document in greater details for investigation part and trial part: ------------- Investigation [0322] ------------- 1. A full ---- line --> Moving from one place to another. --> Using Maya's Magatama to unlock Psyche-Locks. 2. A halfway ---- line --> When you can start examine the background and talk to the person. --> After talking to the person, if there is something else happening. 3. +++ three-sided box --> Examine (labelled). Note: The labelled names may not be official. 4. >>> three-sided box --> Talk (labelled). 5. *** three-sided box --> Present (labelled). Evidence first, then profile, then anything else. 6. MOVE TO: "<name of place>" --> This shows where you need to go next. This excludes any middle room. 7. In any episode, when you examine the same stuff or present the same thing to the same person, and the text appears to be the same, I will only write it at the place where the text showed up for the first time. Therefore, if there is something missing in the second part of the investigation, it probably has been done in the first investigation part. ----- Trial [0323] ----- 1. A full ---- line --> Start and end of cross-examination. 2. A halfway ---- line --> The additional comment after Witness Testimony. --> The additional comment after cycling through all Witness statement during the Cross Examination. 3. Each statement of Witness Testimony will be labelled (1), (2), etc. 4. Indentation during Cross Examination. --> What you get if you PRESS in that statement. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� IV.

Phoenix: Grr!! How did I get into this mess...? That's far enough! You can't run forever, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Phoenix: Wha...!? What have I done wrong!? I cannot allow you to go on like this! Phoenix: ...? Phoenix: B-But I'm just a simple defense attorney! Silence! You are no longer worthy of your title. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 8, 9:08 AM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 1 Phoenix: What a nightmare... Phoenix: And I bet it was this ringtone that caused it... Phoenix: I really shouldn't be dozing off right before a trial starts anyway... Phone: ...*beep*... Phoenix: Huh... looks like they hung up. ? ? ?: Ah, good. I finally found it. ? ? ?: Talk about a close call. I hate to do this to you, but... ? ? ?: It's nothing personal... Mr. Attorney. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few minutes later... District Court Defendant Lobby No. 1 Phoenix: ... Phoenix: Ouch... My head... It's throbbing... Phoenix: And why does it feel... so foggy in there...? ? ? ?: Gooood morning! Phoenix: Ack! Phoenix: Uh... G-Good morning... ? ? ?: What's wrong!? You don't look well! ? ? ?: People are at their best first thing in the morning! Where's that fighting spirit!? Phoenix: ... Sorry, but can you please turn the cheeriness down? Phoenix: My head... sort of hurts... ? ? ?: Roger that! Phoenix: ... ? ? ?: ... Phoenix: ... Um... Am I in trouble or something? ? ? ?: Huh? "Trouble...?" Phoenix: W-Wait, never mind. You're a policewoman, right? Phoenix: I thought maybe I had done something wrong...? ? ? ?: Wh-What are you talking about? ? ? ?: I'm the one in trouble! Phoenix: ... What? Byrde: I'm placing my life in your hands today, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Phoenix: Life... in... my hands...? Byrde: You promised me! You said you would prove that I was not guilty! Phoenix: "N... Not... guilty"? Byrde: Just when I thought all hope was lost; when all the other lawyers had laughed me off... Byrde: "Leave it to me!" you said! You! The one and only Phoenix Wright came to save the day! Byrde: And just like that, I was moved to tears, sir! Byrde: I'll never forget what you're doing for me, EVER! Phoenix: (What is this girl babbling about...?) Byrde: Actually, I really love to watch court proceedings, and I always root for you to win! Byrde: When I'm off duty, I like to come here and... Byrde: ...? Byrde: What's wrong? You've been acting really strange and you keep staring at me. Byrde: You're making me kind of nervous, sir... Phoenix: Oh... sorry. Phoenix: (Hmm... I'm afraid to ask, but here goes...) Phoenix: So, this might sound bad, but... uh... Who are you...? Byrde: Whaaaaat!? Byrde: Mr. Wright!! How can you say that!? Byrde: How can you do this to the fragile heart of a girl about to go on trial...? Byrde: You're absolutely horrible! Phoenix: No -- I mean, I didn't mean it like that! Byrde: Is this how a defense attorney treats his clients, sir!? I can't believe this!! Phoenix: No, it's just... ...Well, I think you have the wrong person. Phoenix: I'm... Byrde: Yes...!? "I'm..."!? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: ... I'm... Who am I? (Why am I drawing a blank...?) Bailiff: The trial will begin shortly. Bailiff: Will the defendant and her lawyer please proceed to the courtroom immediately! Byrde: The trial's about to start! I'm counting on you in there, OK? -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Hmm... I guess I must have amnesia...) Phoenix: (Let's see... What can I piece together...?) Phoenix: (Hmm, from our conversation, I can safely say that I'm probably a defense attorney.) Phoenix: (And that girl... I said I'd prove her "not guilty"...) Phoenix: (I can't believe I made such an irresponsible promise.) Phoenix: Aaaaaargh! Someone, please!! Phoenix: Tell me this is just a bad dream! (Why do I get the feeling this is one dream I won't be waking up from...? *gulp*) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 8, 10:00 AM District Court Courtroom No. 2 Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Maggey Byrde. Payne: The prosecution is ready, Your Honor. Phoenix: ... Judge: What is it, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: Um, er... Are you talking to me...? Judge: Do you see any other defense attorneys here? Phoenix: (I guess not. Urk.) Judge: Now then, are you ready? *** Yes ************************************ * * Phoenix: * (I guess I should say, "Yes" * for now.) * * Judge: * Are you ready, Mr. Wright? * * Phoenix: * Yes, Your Honor. * (... Wait a sec...) * * Phoenix: * (If her life is in my * hands...) * * Phoenix: * (I should really do the * responsible thing...) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** No ************************************* * * Phoenix: * Um... * * Phoenix: * What if I said, "No"? * Would that be alright? * * Judge: * Of course it wouldn't! * * Phoenix: * (Then why bother asking to * begin with??) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: Actually, you see, Your Honor... My memory is kind of... Judge: The court will not hear the defense's excuses. Judge: Because the defendant is a member of the police, this case is under great scrutiny. Judge: Therefore, we must make this trial fair but swift. Judge: I believe I have told you this before. I hope you're not telling me you've forgotten! Phoenix: (Actually, I did...) Judge: Mr. Payne, your opening statement, please. Payne: Yes, Your Honor. Payne: As I'm sure you're well aware, the defendant is accused of killing her lover. Payne: What's worse, her lover was a fellow police officer! Phoenix: A policeman? You did WHAT to a policeman!? Byrde: It wasn't me! Byrde: And besides, Dustin and I... Byrde: We weren't "lovers" like that! Payne: In any case... Payne: The prosecution will prove that the guilty party is none other than the defendant! Judge: Very well. Judge: Mr. Payne, please call your first witness. Payne: Hee, hee, hee. It's been a while, Mr. Wright. Payne: Let's see what you've learned since last time. Payne: I won't show you any mercy this time, rookie! Phoenix: Okaaay... (And who are you again!?) Payne: Please bring Detective Dick Gumshoe to the stand. Byrde: Here we go! Don't let me down, Mr. Wright! Phoenix: (Nowhere to hide... I'm sooo dead...) -------------------------------------------- Payne: Witness, please state your name and occupation. Gumshoe: My name is Dick Gumshoe, sir. Gumshoe: I'm the detective in charge of homicides down at the precinct, sir. Judge: You don't look very well, Detective. Gumshoe: Well, sir, the defendant... She works under me, so, you know... Phoenix: You work under that detective? Byrde: Yes, sir! And while I was a trainee, he was always watching out for me, sir! Byrde: He's such a wonderful guy, sir! I'll never forget what he's done for me! Phoenix: (OK, calm down, I believe you.) Payne: Detective Gumshoe. Payne: Please describe for us the details of this murder. Gumshoe: Yes, sir. Gumshoe: It happened at the park near headquarters, "Expos� Park". Gumshoe: The victim was one of the local cops, Dustin Prince. Gumshoe: He was pushed down from the benches on the upper path, sir. Gumshoe: The landing beat his body up bad and snapped his neck. Payne: The details are listed in the report that was distributed yesterday... Judge: Ah, yes. This autopsy report, correct? Phoenix: (Why do I not remember getting a copy...?) Judge: I see everything is in order here. Judge: Even the estimated time of death is unusually well documented! Gumshoe: The victim's watch stopped from the impact of the landing, sir. Gumshoe: The results of the autopsy confirmed the time of death. Payne: If I may, Your Honor, Payne: the prosecution would like to submit this photograph. Judge: Very well. The court accepts it into evidence. *Crime Photo 1 added to the Court Record.* Judge: Now then, I recall at yesterday's preliminary hearing, Judge: a very important piece of evidence was brought to our attention. Payne: Yes, Your Honor. Gumshoe: Yes, sir. Phoenix: Yes... I guess? Judge: Mr. Wright! Is your head on right today!? Judge: There was a very crucial piece of evidence found under the victim's body! Phoenix: Um, was there? Byrde: Have you lost your mind!? Phoenix: Well, actually... Phoenix: Um, it's just nerves. Give me a second. Byrde: Whaaaat!? Byrde: How can you talk like such an amateur!? I thought you were a pro, sir! Byrde: ... Byrde: Alright, sir. I'll help you through this! Byrde: At a time like this, maybe you ought to take a glance at the Court Record! Phoenix: ...Court Record? Byrde: Yup! Info about evidence and people involved with this case are all listed there, sir! Byrde: You can look at the Court Record by touching the Court Record Button! Phoenix: The Court Record Button...? You really know what you're talking about, huh? Byrde: It's too bad I'm a cop, right? Just think! I could totally be a legal aide instead! Judge: Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor! Judge: Court is in session. Save your chit-chat for later! Phoenix: S-Sorry, Your Honor... Phoenix: (Well, I guess I'd better check the Court Record, and see what I can find...) Phoenix: (What was it again? The Court Record Button...?) Judge: Alright, Mr. Wright. Let's see if your notes are in order. Judge: What was the piece of evidence found underneath the victim's body? *** A wallet ******************************* * * Phoenix: * Um... I'm pretty sure it was a * wallet... * * Payne: * *OBJECTION!* * * Payne: * This is a court of law! You * can't just make wild guesses! * * Judge: * Agreed. * * Byrde: * They're right, Mr. Wright! * * Byrde: * You have to check the Court * Record before you answer! * * Byrde: * If you don't, your client * might end up with a * guilty verdict! * * Phoenix: * ("Your client"? You do realize * that's you, right?) * * Judge: * I will ask you one more time. * * RETURN TO QUESTION * ******************************************** *** Glasses ******************************** * * Phoenix: * That's simple, Your Honor. * A broken pair of glasses. * * Judge: * That's right. * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** A police badge ************************* * * Phoenix: * If he's a cop, then I guess * maybe a badge or something... * * Payne: * *OBJECTION!* * * Payne: * Mr. Wright! Please stick to * the facts of this case! * * Phoenix: * *OBJECTION!* * * Phoenix: * He is a policeman, correct? * * Payne: * I don't think you understand * the problem here. * * Judge: * I will not have an uninformed * lawyer in my court. * * Phoenix: * Yes, Your Honor. * (Guess there's no fooling * those two.) * * Byrde: * Please, for my sake, look at * the Court Record, sir! * * Phoenix: * (Uh, it's the Court Record * Button, right?) * * Judge: * I will ask you one more time. * * RETURN TO QUESTION * ******************************************** Gumshoe: The victim grabbed the criminal's glasses as he was being shoved, sir, Gumshoe: and held onto them as he fell. Phoenix: ... Byrde: Hey! Why are you giving me the evil eye!? Phoenix: Those glasses you're wearing... Byrde: Nnnngh... Byrde: Yes, this is my spare pair. Byrde: But these glasses they found at the scene of the crime are not mine! I swear, sir! Phoenix: You sure about that? Byrde: Look, it was a coincidence that on that same day, I accidentally stepped on mine! Phoenix: (A "coincidence" she says... Urk...) Payne: Eh hee hee hee hee hee hee! Your Honor. Payne: I have further evidence to present. Judge: Oh? You have more? Payne: And this evidence is very decisive. Judge: Very well! Judge: Let's hear from our witness about this "evidence". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Decisive Evidence -- (1) Gumshoe: There's something even more incriminating than the glasses under the victim's body, sir. (2) Gumshoe: During his date, the victim was pushed from the bench area. (3) Gumshoe: But he managed to write the culprit's name on the ground where he landed. (4) Gumshoe: I don't like saying it, but it was clearly the defendant's name, "Maggie", sir. (5) Gumshoe: With this piece of evidence and the glasses, it's hard to say she's not the culprit. -------------------------------------------- Payne: This is a picture of the writing, Your Honor. Judge: Why, this is...! Judge: Yes, I can see the name is clearly written here. Payne: The prosecution would like to submit this picture. Judge: Understood. The court accepts it into evidence. *Crime Photo 2 added to the Court Record.* Phoenix: As if the glasses alone didn't make you look suspicious, Phoenix: the victim even wrote your name clear as day on the ground! Byrde: But, but, but, I already told you! Those glasses aren't mine!! Phoenix: And how do you explain his dying message? Byrde: ... Byrde: It's a conspiracy! I'm not guilty, sir! Judge: Mr. Wright, you may cross- examine the witness. Phoenix: Cross-examine? Byrde: This is it! I'm counting on you! Phoenix: Sure... But what am I supposed to do? Byrde: WHAT!? Byrde: This isn't like you at all! Byrde: Normally, this is the part where you get in the witnesses' faces! Phoenix: Get in their faces and do what? Byrde: I guess there's no way around it! Byrde: OK, I'm going to lend you a hand! Byrde: The prosecution's witnesses all hide things from the court, Byrde: which means they lie from time to time. Phoenix: Lie? Phoenix: But... isn't that detective your superior? Byrde: Well, even if they don't mean to lie, sometimes people just remember things wrong. Phoenix: Hmm, like that detective. He does sort of look like a scatterbrain... Byrde: It doesn't matter! Either way, it's bad for us, sir! Byrde: That's why when you question witnesses, you have to find and expose their lies! Judge: Mr. Wright. Your cross-examination, please. Phoenix: Y-Yes, Your Honor. Phoenix: (Talk about trial by fire. Here goes nothing.) Phoenix: (As long as I can "expose the lies", we should be alright.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Decisive Evidence -- (1) Gumshoe: There's something even more incriminating than the glasses under the victim's body, sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Hmm, about those glasses... Phoenix: Do you have any proof that those belong to my client? Gumshoe: The lenses are for near- sightedness, and are almost the same strength as hers. Gumshoe: Even the frames look kinda like the ones she's wearing in her ID, pal. Phoenix: Hmm... (What should I do now?) *** Continue pressing ********************** * * Phoenix: * Hold it! * * Phoenix: * "Almost" and "kinda" are not * good enough in a case like * this! * * Gumshoe: * Er, um... * * Phoenix: * Do you have more * definitive proof? * * Phoenix: * Is there something that * clearly links the defendant * with those glasses!? * * Gumshoe: * Er, um, uh... * * Gumshoe: * The dirt and sand rubbed out * any traces of fingerprints or * anything else. * * Phoenix: * So what you are saying, * detective, * * Phoenix: * is that you have nothing that * proves those glasses are * my client's. * * Gumshoe: * Um, something like that... * * Payne: * Wh-Wh-What!? * * Judge: * I see... Hmm... So there is no * proof... * * Byrde: * Wow, that was amazing! * * Byrde: * I could totally feel it, * down in my gut! * ******************************************** *** Leave it be **************************** * * Phoenix: * (We're in real trouble if * those glasses really are * hers...) * * Phoenix: * (It's probably better to back * out while we can.) * * Byrde: * Argh... Why don't you * believe me...? * ******************************************** (2) Gumshoe: During his date, the victim was pushed from the bench area. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Now, you're sure he was pushed and that's how he fell? Gumshoe: Yeah, pal. If you look at the wounds on the victim's body, Gumshoe: there's no way it was anything else. Phoenix: Hmm... Judge: Please continue with your testimony, detective. Gumshoe: Anyway, the victim fell pretty far... (3) Gumshoe: But he managed to write the culprit's name on the ground where he landed. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The culprit's name? Gumshoe: Yeah. I was surprised, too. Gumshoe: I didn't want to believe it, but... Phoenix: Was the name that of my client? (4) Gumshoe: I don't like saying it, but it was clearly the defendant's name, "Maggie", sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you absolutely certain!? Gumshoe: Sorry, pal, but that's what it said. Gumshoe: This is a picture of it. No No matter which way you look, it still says "Maggie". Phoenix: (Hmm... He's got a point...) Byrde: Hey, hold on! Phoenix: Huh? Byrde: Don't "huh" me! I know the picture says "Maggie", but... Phoenix: (Now that she mentions it, something does feel kind of off about this picture...) Byrde: That's how you know you found a contradiction! Now hurry up and present some evidence! Phoenix: (So THAT'S what spotting a contradiction feels like...) Phoenix: (I'd better check the Court Record again...) (5) Gumshoe: With this piece of evidence and the glasses, it's hard to say she's not the culprit. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And you are certain that it was the victim who wrote the name on the ground? Gumshoe: There were scratches on his fingers from the rough sand, Gumshoe: and there were grains of sand stuck under his pointer finger nail. Judge: Hmm... It certainly seems that the name was written by the victim himself. Phoenix: (That didn't go well.) Phoenix: (If it really was him, then we're in a lot of trouble...) -------------------------------------------- Byrde: Don't give up! Keep that fighting spirit going! Phoenix: I'm glad you're all pumped up, but... Byrde: I really want to see your "special move", sir! Phoenix: My what?? Byrde: You always look so cool when you present evidence! Phoenix: Present... evidence? *** Oh, THAT present evidence! ************* * * Phoenix: * Actually, I was just thinking * about that! * * Byrde: * Yes! The great Phoenix * Wright is back! * * Byrde: * Oh, that's right! * * Phoenix: * Huh? * * Byrde: * I heard that lately, you can * present not only evidence, * but people's profiles as well! * * Byrde: * It sure makes things a bit * more complicated, so be * careful, sir! * * Phoenix: * (People's profiles, huh?) * * Phoenix: * (Alright, let's give this * another try.) * * RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION * ******************************************** *** Enlighten me. ************************** * * Phoenix: * Um, about this "presenting * evidence"... * * Byrde: * OK.

Phoenix: ... Phoenix: ... Judge: Wh-What is it? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (What... What's come over me...?) Phoenix: (Without thinking, I just blurted out, "Objection!"...) Phoenix: (And I yelled it at the top of my lungs, finger outstretched, ready to take on my opponent!) Phoenix: (What a rush!) Phoenix: Detective Gumshoe! Gumshoe: Y-You talking to me, pal? Phoenix: Please state the defendant's name for me! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: What are you trying to prove with this futile exercise, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: You'll see. This is a very crucial line of questioning! Phoenix: Actually, Mr. Payne, you can answer. The defendant's name, if you please. Payne: Wh-Where is this ridiculous question coming from? Payne: The defendant's, uh, name is, uh... "Maggie Byrde". Phoenix: I think someone needs to check the Court Record. Payne: What...? It says right here that it's "Maggey Byrde". Payne: Aaaah!! Phoenix: It looks like the bird caught the cat napping! Judge: What's going on here!? Gumshoe: I have no idea either, sir! Phoenix: As you can see, Phoenix: the victim did indeed leave a name, "Maggie". Phoenix: However, the defendant's name is actually spelled, "Maggey"! Phoenix: This is a blatant contradiction of facts! Judge: Ohh! Gumshoe: How about that? I hadn't even noticed! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: But, but, but...! Payne: But maybe the victim didn't know how to spell her name correctly... Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: May I remind you that it was you who said, Phoenix: "The defendant is accused of killing her lover." Phoenix: If they were truly lovers, it would be impossible for him to have not known her name! Payne: Noooo! Judge: This is very true. Judge: Mr. Payne. Payne: Y-Yes, Your Honor? Judge: Are you absolutely certain that the defendant and the victim, Dustin Prince, Judge: were, in fact, lovers? Payne: Y-Yes, I am quite certain, Your Honor. Payne: They were a well-known couple in the police force. Judge: Detective Gumshoe. Judge: Please testify for the court the relationship between the victim and the defendant. Gumshoe: Yes, sir... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Dustin and Maggey -- (1) Gumshoe: Officer Prince and Officer Byrde had been going out for about half a year. (2) Gumshoe: It sounded like they were even talking about marriage. (3) Gumshoe: The day of the incident just happened to be the victim's birthday, sir. (4) Gumshoe: Maggey... I mean, Officer Byrde, had gotten Officer Prince a present. (5) Gumshoe: It was something she had gotten over 2 months ago. (6) Gumshoe: I should know, 'cause she came to me to ask what she should get for him. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Oh... Those two sound like they were close... Payne: Nevertheless, tragedu struck. Judge: Hmm, yes, I see... You may cross-examine the witness, Mr. Wright. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Dustin and Maggey -- (1) Gumshoe: Officer Prince and Officer Byrde had been going out for about half a year. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: How do you know about this? Gumshoe: Every year in March, we have a training camp for us cops. Gumshoe: Officer Byrde was a rookie at the time, and she and Officer Prince seemed to hit it off. Phoenix: (They got close, I take it...) Gumshoe: Actually, I was supposed to go, too, but... Gumshoe: I couldn't pay the deposit for the trip, so I didn't. Gumshoe: If only I had gone on that trip... Judge: What is it? Gumshoe: Oh, uh, nothing, sir! Really! Anyway... (2) Gumshoe: It sounded like they were even talking about marriage. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Marriage? But wasn't the victim 8 years older than her? Gumshoe: What!? You saying a guy's gotta marry someone the same age as himself, pal!? Phoenix: No, that's not what I meant at all... Byrde: Detective Gumshoe and Dustin were only a year apart, you know? Phoenix: (Ugh... I think this fella has a ways to go before marriage...) Gumshoe: Mind your own business, pal! (3) Gumshoe: The day of the incident just happened to be the victim's birthday, sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The day of the incident... You mean September 6th? Gumshoe: Yeah. Gumshoe: The victim, Officer Prince, had just gotten off duty at 5:30 PM that day, Gumshoe: and since Maggey's night shift hadn't started yet, they went to the park for a bit... Judge: Ah, I remember when I was young and in love. Oh, it was a jolly time. Phoenix: (That's great, Your Honor... I'm glad you're such a cheerful old man...) (4) Gumshoe: Maggey... I mean, Officer Byrde, had gotten Officer Prince a present. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: ... You seem to know a lot about the defendant. Gumshoe: Well, that's because, uh, I'm her boss. And I've gotta watch out for my subordinates! Phoenix: But even what she was going to give as a present? Isn't that going a bit too far...? Gumshoe: Hey, pal! Watch what you say! Gumshoe: I know everything that happens under me! If someone so much as scratches their... Phoenix: I REALLY don't need to know that much... Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: Mr. Wright! Please refrain from badgering the witness! Judge: I agree. Judge: Even if this witness has a crush on the defendant, Judge: that should not be the point of discussion at this time. Gumshoe: Whoa! Wait a second! Why are we talking about this!? Gumshoe: It's all YOUR fault, pal! You're guilty, guilty, guilty! I should have you arrested! Phoenix: (I think the good Detective is about done here...) (5) Gumshoe: It was something she had gotten over 2 months ago. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: "Over 2 months ago?" Gumshoe: Yup. She's a very considerate woman, pal! Phoenix: So... What was this birthday present? Gumshoe: She got him a glove. Judge: A single glove? Why would she only give him one? Payne: Um, actually, Your Honor, the glove in question is a baseball glove. Judge: Oh, I see. A baseball glove. Gumshoe: Officer Prince was a huge baseball fan. Phoenix: (A baseball glove. Hmm...) *** Press further ************************** * * Phoenix: * Just now, I believe you said * that the present was something * * Phoenix: * she had "gotten over 2 months * ago". * * Gumshoe: * Yeah. * * Phoenix: * Are you saying she went out * and bought the glove over * 2 months ago? * * Gumshoe: * Nah, nothing like that, pal! * * Phoenix: * Then, what is it like? * * Gumshoe: * She ordered it. * It was custom-made! * * Phoenix: * Custom-made? * The glove was custom-made? * * Gumshoe: * Yup, that's what I said! * * Judge: * Hmm... * So the glove was custom-made. * * Payne: * *OBJECTION* * * Payne: * Your Honor, I really don't see * how this glove is related to * this case. * * Judge: * Yes, it would seem that there * is little relevance.

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You discussed what the defendant was going to give to her boyfriend? Gumshoe: Well, I'm, er... *ahem* She, uh... trusts me, so... Phoenix: (Boy does he look proud of himself right now...) -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: ... Byrde: Wh-What is it this time? Phoenix: That testimony didn't sound like it had any contradictions in it to me. Phoenix: There just wasn't anything that really stuck out as odd. Byrde: Yeah... Byrde: I wonder what would happen if you tried to get more information from him? Phoenix: Get more information? Byrde: Yeah! You know! Like how they "press" people on those old cop shows, sir! Phoenix: So I should try "pressing" him, huh? RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byrde: Yes! Bluffing to the max! Byrde: Now, THIS is the Mr. Wright I know! Byrde: I'm so happy you're back, sir! I was wondering how long it'd take! This is great! Phoenix: (Hmm, pressing people... It feels like I've done this before.) Phoenix: (As if I used to do this to squeeze information from even the most tight-lipped people.) Judge: Very well. Judge: If you are that convinced, then let's hear some more about this matter. Gumshoe: Actually, I brought the glove with me today. Phoenix: And? Judge: Why didn't you say so earlier? Hurry and show the glove to this court! Gumshoe: Well, I didn't think it had anything to do with this case... Gumshoe: Anyway, this is it, sir. Judge: It's, uh... rather yellow, isn't it? *Baseball Glove added to the Court Record.* Gumshoe: Officer Prince really liked the color yellow. Phoenix: And that's why you had to special order it? Byrde: Yup, that's right! That, and one other reason... Judge: I think this court has heard enough. Judge: It is clear that the victim and the defendant were involved with each other. Payne: Yes, that's correct, Your Honor. Judge: Now, if that is true, it brings up an important question. Judge: Was the name "Maggie" really written by the victim? Payne: I see your point, Your Honor. Payne: Detective Gumshoe, please tell the court a little more about the name on the ground. Gumshoe: Yes, sir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Writing on the Ground -- (1) Gumshoe: We first looked into the handwriting, sir. (2) Gumshoe: Unfortunately, we couldn't confirm that it was the victim's handwriting. (3) Gumshoe: Next, we checked the victim's pointer finger. (4) Gumshoe: We found that there was sand trapped under the victim's fingernail. (5) Gumshoe: There were also scratches on the skin that were caused by him writing on the ground. (6) Gumshoe: From this, we could confirm that the victim wrote this name with his right hand. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Yes, a perfectly logical conclusion. Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness. Phoenix: Thank you, Your Honor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Writing on the Ground -- (1) Gumshoe: We first looked into the handwriting. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But can you really determine handwriting based on a sample written in sand? Gumshoe: Heh, this is why amateurs are amateurs. Gumshoe: We're not a buncha simpletons, pal! Gumshoe: Scientific investigation in this country's actually pretty good. Judge: Hmm, I believe it's time to get back to the real point. Payne: Agreed, Your Honor. So, what was the result of the investigation? (2) Gumshoe: Unfortunately, we couldn't confirm that it was the victim's handwriting. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So in the end, you couldn't confirm it? Gumshoe: Hey, don't you look down on us! Gumshoe: I told you! We're not a bunch of simpletons, pal! Gumshoe: Everyone knows you can't find out everything you want with scientific investigation! Judge: I've never heard that before. Payne: Me, either. Phoenix: Nor I. Byrde: I never heard anything like that at the police academy, sir... Gumshoe: OK, so I made it up. Anyway... (3) Gumshoe: Next, we checked the victim's pointer finger. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: His pointer finger? Gumshoe: You know, the one you're always POINTING and waving around in people's faces. Phoenix: Aha, ha, ha. Don't tell me it bothers you... Gumshoe: Every time you do it, I have a mini-heart attack. It's like you're trying to kill me, pal. Payne: In any case, you examined the victim's index finger, correct? Gumshoe: Yeah. We figured there should be something on his finger if he had been writing in sand. Judge: Hmm... And the results? (4) Gumshoe: We found that there was sand trapped under the victim's fingernail. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And what does that prove? Gumshoe: Well, it proves that he did write that name with his own finger. Payne: Yes, which explains why there was sand stuck under his nail. Phoenix: (I guess he's right...) Gumshoe: And there's more... (5) Gumshoe: There were also scratches on the skin that were caused by him writing on the ground. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: "Scratches on his skin?" Gumshoe: Yup. You can't see them with your naked eye, but they're there. Judge: That is incredible! Gumshoe: Sure is! That's the power of scientific investigation! Gumshoe: They're so small that we had to use a magnifying glass... like a really strong one. Gumshoe: It's got that really scientific-sounding name... Phoenix: You mean a microscope? Gumshoe: Yeah, that's it! We used one of those and that's how we found them! Phoenix: (I can't believe this guy doesn't know what a microscope is...) (6) Gumshoe: From this, we could confirm that the victim wrote this name with his right hand. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you absolutely sure? Gumshoe: I believe in the power of science. Phoenix: (Hmm, I wonder if my evidence is solid enough to counter with?) -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Listening to this, you would think there was only one conclusion...) Phoenix: (that the name was definitely written by the victim...) Byrde: But don't you think that would be really strange, sir!? Byrde: If Dustin really wrote that message with his right hand, Byrde: do you think I would have gone through that much trouble to get him his present? Phoenix: (The present...? What about it...?) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Baseball Glove* at (6) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Detective Gumshoe. Take a look at this. Gumshoe: That's the glove, right? Phoenix: Could you tell the court what is special about this glove? Gumshoe: What's special? Um, never really thought about it, but uh... Gumshoe: It's REALLY yellow... ... And that's about it. Phoenix: Yes, it's REALLY yellow, but that is only one of its qualities. Gumshoe: Huh? Phoenix: There's another reason why it's special. Judge: And what would that be? Phoenix: It's very simple. Phoenix: This glove is made for a left-handed person! Gumshoe: Left-handed...? Judge: Why, you're absolutely right! Judge: This glove is made to be worn on the right hand! Phoenix: That is why it had to be custom-made. Phoenix: I have never seen a bright yellow left-hander's glove for sale. Have you? Gumshoe: Well, um... no. Phoenix: So, Detective. Phoenix: Which hand did the victim use to write the name with, again...? Gumshoe: That's easy! Gumshoe: Look, it's obvious from this picture that it was his... W-W-Wait a sec... Phoenix: Don't forget that the victim was left-handed! Gumshoe: Aaaaah!! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: This is... This is... I mean... I... Objec-- Judge: Overruled. Judge: Mr. Wright, I would like to know what your line of reasoning proves. Phoenix: There is only one conclusion that can be drawn! Phoenix: A left-handed person could not have written a message with his right hand! Phoenix: Therefore! Phoenix: The person who wrote the name "Maggie" could not have been the victim! Judge: Order! Order! Judge: When you think about it that way, then yes, Judge: it is not possible that this name was written by the victim himself. Gumshoe: Then that means Maggey is...! Payne: No... IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!! Judge: Mr. Payne. Payne: Y-Y-Yes, Your Honor? Judge: The evidence the prosecution has presented has failed to prove the defendant's guilt. Judge: In fact, I believe you have proven her to be innocent! Payne: NOOOOOOO! Byrde: Alright! You did it, Mr. Wright! Byrde: Whew! I feel like I can breathe again! Judge: It seems that we have reached the conclusion. Judge: You did a fine job once again, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Me, Your Honor? Ah, well, thank you, sir... Byrde: See, you got complimented by the judge again! You're really good! Byrde: And that's why you can't give up being a lawyer, sir! Phoenix: (Are you joking!? I'm more than ready to retire!) Judge: I will now announce my verdict. Judge: This court finds the defendant, Maggey Byrde... Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: No!! Not yet! Payne: I mean, please give me a few more minutes, Your Honor. Judge: Wh-What is the meaning of this, Mr. Payne!? Payne: The prosecution is not finished yet! Phoenix: What do you mean!? Payne: We would like to call our next witness to the stand! Phoenix: Whaaaaaaaaaat!? Judge: And what did this witness... witness? Payne: The moment the victim was pushed to his death! Payne: What's more, he saw the very face of the culprit! Phoenix: What the heck!? Judge: Order! Order in the court! Judge: I believe a recess is in order. Judge: Afterward, we will hear from this new witness. Phoenix: (I had a feeling that was a bit too easy...) Phoenix: (Hmm, I need more information. I'll have to see what I can find out during this recess.) Phoenix: (I can't let my guard down! It's only going to get tougher from here!) Judge: Court is adjourned for recess! To be continued. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 1-2: Trial [0412] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� September 8, 11:43 AM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 1 Byrde: A-Amnesia!? Byrde: I can't believe my lawyer's trying to defend me in such a state... Phoenix: ... I... Uh... Byrde: Why didn't you tell me, sir!? Phoenix: I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you. Byrde: Oh! I know what to do! Byrde: I heard you can fix something like this with a really strong shock to your system! Byrde: Come on, lower your head a little! A Maggey Kick should be all you need! Phoenix: Ah, no, no, no. I think I'll pass on this one. Byrde: Come on!... Ah, I'm sorry. Byrde: Whenever I see someone in trouble, I have a hard time leaving them alone... Byrde: I tend to stick my nose where it doesn't belong and try to tackle everyone's problems. Phoenix: (Well, my head's one problem you won't be tackling today...) Phoenix: Well, we're here to solve your problem first. We can deal with mine later. Phoenix: For now, do you think you can fill me in on a few things? Byrde: Of course! I'd be honored to! Byrde: Ah, well, I guess we'll start with my name and then I can tell you about me! Phoenix: No, no, that's ok. Really. I think I know you and your name pretty well by now. Phoenix: I was wondering if you could help me figure out a few things about myself. Phoenix: So, my name is "Phoenix Wright"? What a weird name. Byrde: Hmmmm... This is serious. You really don't remember. Byrde: I'll tell you what, sir. You can have this back, and maybe it'll help! Phoenix: ...? This is... a business card? Byrde: I got this from you. It's my most prized possession! Byrde: You can borrow it for now, but please give it back, OK!? Phoenix: OK. (There are some numbers written on the back...) Byrde: Oh, that's your cell phone number! *Phoenix's Business Card added to the Court Record.* Phoenix: I guess for now, we should stop talking about me, Phoenix: and start talking about this case. Byrde: This case...? Phoenix: Yup. Can you think of anything that would be helpful for me to know? Byrde: Um, what can I tell you...? Ah, um... Hmm... Byrde: I can't think of anything other than the incident with that cell phone, but... Phoenix: ...Cell phone? Byrde: Yeah! Your eyes lit up when we talked about it at the Detention Center, sir! Phoenix: ...! Phoenix: Hurry up then and tell me! This might be very important! Byrde: OK! Roger! -------------------------------------------- Byrde: It was on the day of the crime, just before 6 PM... Byrde: I picked up a lost cell phone while on a walk with Dustin. Phone: ............... Byrde: All of a sudden, the phone began to ring... Phone: ...*beep*... Byrde: "Um, hello?" ? ? ?: "Oh, thank you! I've been searching for my phone." Byrde: "Is this yours? Oh, I'm glad you called! We can meet up and I can give this back!" ? ? ?: "I'll be right there, um... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name..." Byrde: "You can call me Maggey!" -------------------------------------------- Byrde: We agreed to meet up at 6 PM. Byrde: Dustin and I waited for the person to show up... Byrde: but they never did. Phoenix: Hmmmm... Phoenix: So where is the phone you found now? Byrde: I gave it to you yesterday! Phoenix: Huh? To me? (Is it that phone in my pocket...?) Phoenix: Y-You mean this? Byrde: Do you think it has anything to do with the murder? Phoenix: I... don't really know... But if my eyes "lit up"... ? ? ?: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! YOU WERE HERE ALL ALONG!! ? ? ?: You're so mean!! ? ? ?: I called you a million times but you wouldn't pick up! ? ? ?: And when I went to check in the courtroom, everyone had already left... Phoenix: (Ack! Now who in the heck is this?) Phoenix: (Let me guess. I'm supposed to know this girl too...) ? ? ?: Hey, good morning, Maggey! Byrde: And a good morning to you, too, Maya! Maya: So!? So!? How's it going!? Byrde: Is there a word for "worse than abysmal"...? Maya: Oh? And what if I said that everything will be fine? Maya: That's right! It's Maya to the rescue with the ultra-decisive super-important evidence! Maya: Here you are, Nick! The thing you wanted me to bring! Phoenix: Huh? Oh, ah, thanks... (What the heck is this? A list?) Phoenix: (It has about 20 people's names and phone numbers written on it.) Maya: It was kind of tough, but I managed to find out some dirt! Maya: It looks like these guys are up to no good. Phoenix: "No good"? As in? Maya: There's a group of con artists the police are currently investigating. Maya: I think these guys are members of that group. *Names List added to the Court Record.* Phoenix: Why would a group of con artists pop up in a case like this? Maya: Don't look at me! Phoenix: Hmm... And where did you get this list from in the first place? Maya: Whaaaaat!? Why are you asking that!? Maya: You're the one who asked me to look this up yesterday! Phoenix: Oh... is that right? Maya: These numbers were in the memory of that phone Maggey found. Phoenix: Hmm, so that's where they're from. Maya: You're awfully forgetful these days, Nick. Maya: I hope I never get to be a forgetful old prune like you! Byrde: Um, Maya... Actually, Mr. Wright is... Bailiff: Mr. Wright! Recess is now over. Bailiff: Please bring the defendant and return to the courtroom immediately! Maya: Oh, oops! Guess you have to get going! We can talk about you being old later, Nick! Byrde: W-Wish us luck! Phoenix: (I guess I have all the pieces now... More or less.) Phoenix: (All that's left is to put it all together. I'm not going to lose this. I can't!) Maya: Come on, Nick. Better get a move on! Phoenix: Y-Yeah. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 8, 11:54 AM District Court Courtroom No. 2 Judge: The court will now reconvene. Please call your next witness to the stand, Mr. Payne. Payne: Yes, Your Honor. Payne: But before I do, if I may say a few words... Judge: What is it, Mr. Payne? Payne: It's about the next witness. Payne: He has a tendency to say things that rub people the wrong way, you see, Payne: so I ask that the court might be a little lenient on... Judge: There is no need to give a preface. Just hurry up and call your witness, please. Payne: Y-Yes, Your Honor. ...The prosecution calls its next witness; Payne: a drifter who was taking a walk in the park on the day of the murder! -------------------------------------------- Payne: Please state your name for the court, witness. ? ? ?: Before I do, I'd like to clarify a little something. Payne: Huh? Oh, alright, go ahead. ? ? ?: Just now, you introduced my wonderful self to the court, correct? ? ? ?: Perhaps as a "drifter who was taking a walk"? Payne: D-Did I? ? ? ?: But I will not stand for that! Now you've tinted the court's eyes and colored me wrongly. ? ? ?: Sure, I suppose calling me a university student would not be the absolute truth, ? ? ?: but to give in and just settle would be as evil as death and I can't have that! ? ? ?: Everything in my life is to be of the utmost, highest, top grade quality, you understand. ? ? ?: I am merely looking for that perfect, top notch, unbeatable university, don't you see...? ? ? ?: I have a rigorous selection process and I was in serious thought during my "walk" as... Payne: Yes, yes, I understand. I'm very sorry. I will be more careful from now on. Maya: Wh-What is he? A human chatterbox? Phoenix: Ugh... I have to question HIM? ? ? ?: Fashion! Cars! Women! Glasses! And of course, University! First-rates only need apply! Phoenix: (Glasses...? But you aren't wearing glasses...) Judge: That's enough! Your name, witness. ? ? ?: Oh? Is that how you want to play this? ? ? ?: Using your power and influence to keep the young people down. I see how you work now. ? ? ?: You old people and your dirty tricks. You thought you had me, but you thought wrong. Judge: I-I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Phoenix: (Oh man...) ? ? ?: I forgive you. Alright, I suppose I can tell you my name. Wellington: I am Richard Wellington, the "Drifting Virtuoso" with a Ph.D. in Drifting, as it were. Wellington: If you wanted to, you could call me a "University Student in Transit". Payne: Ahem, Mr. Wellington. Payne: On the day of the murder, you were taking a... er, strolling through the park, correct? Wellington: It would appear that you are attached to that word. If you must, then by all means. Wellington: But I remind you that I am in no way a prepubescent boy, "out on a walk" with mommy. Wellington: If you must know, I Payne: Anyway! Please testify to this court what you saw during your walk through the park! Wellington: See, you said it again! "Taking a walk"... You know, you-- Judge: What you witnessed will do, Mr. Wellington! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- What I Saw That Day -- (1) Wellington: I was at the park all afternoon, deep in thought about my life situation. (2) Wellington: I don't remember the time all that well, but I do believe it was past 6 PM. (3) Wellington: All of a sudden, a police officer falls from above, right in front of my eyes. (4) Wellington: Without a thought, I looked up, and there I met the eyes of a charming, young lady. (5) Wellington: Of course I remember her sweet face. It was that of the pretty defendant there. (6) Wellington: The only other thing I saw was the banana that fell with the police officer. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm, that was certainly a decisive testimony. Maya: Decisive!? Nick, did you hear what he just said!? Phoenix: Yeah. Maya: That's all you have to say? How can you be so calm!? Phoenix: (It's strange... My mind is very calm and clear.) Phoenix: Maybe it's because I... believe in my client. Maya: You mean Maggey? Phoenix: Yes. And if she really is innocent, then that can only mean one thing: Phoenix: That guy is lying! Judge: You may now question the witness, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: (I'll find out the truth, no matter how well you craft your lies!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- What I Saw That Day -- (1) Wellington: I was at the park all afternoon, deep in thought about my life situation. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you were at the park all afternoon? You seem to have a lot of free time. Wellington: Hmph. That was very rude of you. But then again, what can I expect? Wellington: That's what you get from a man who graduated from a no-name, trashy university. Phoenix: N-No name? Trashy...? Wellington: Now, this might be hard for a mush-headed, feeble-minded baboon like you, but Wellington: I have to think very carefully about the future of our great country. Phoenix: But I thought you said you were thinking about which college to go to just now... Wellington: Oh, puh-leaze. Wellington: Which university I go to will directly affect the very future of this country! Phoenix: (That arrogant little snot...) (2) Wellington: I don't remember the time all that well, but I do believe it was past 6 PM. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: How did you know what time it was? I see you're not wearing a watch, so... Wellington: Is that the best you can do? Do you think you can discredit me like that? Wellington: You're just a third-rate, biased fool. I guess I can't expect real smarts from you. Phoenix: (Grr... His arrogance is really intolerable... So, what should I do now...?) *** Press harder *************************** * * Phoenix: * Answer the question!

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And how did you know he was a police officer? Wellington: You obviously have no idea how powerful my deductive reasoning skills are. Wellington: With one glance, I could tell just what kind of occupation he held. Wellington: That shoddy, do-it-yourself hairstyle practically screamed "I'm a police officer". Wellington: It was also the way he tied his tie and those cheap, low- quality shoes. Ugh. Wellington: Oh, and I suppose it was also because he was wearing an officer's uniform. Phoenix: (Shouldn't that statement have come first!?) Maya: Wow, that's pretty impressive. Maya: Hey, Nick! Do you think he's figured out what I do? Phoenix: (Even I haven't figured that out yet...) (4) Wellington: Without a thought, I looked up, and there I met the eyes of a charming, young lady. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you sure you got a good look at her face? Wellington: Animals have this thing called an "eye", Mr. Wright. They use this "eye" to see things. Wellington: In the case of humans, we have two of them. Yes, even you! Phoenix: I don't care if I have them or not! Did you or did you not get a clear look at her face!? Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: That's what the witness was just about to get to. Payne: I would like to request that Mr. Wright not use such a loud voice during questioning. Judge: Sustained. Mr. Wright, please refrain from raising your voice in this court. Phoenix: (Then please don't make me have to raise my voice.) Wellington: Are you finished? I'd like to continue, if that's alright with you. (5) Wellington: Of course I remember her sweet face. It was that of the pretty defendant there. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you're SURE you are not mistaken? Wellington: Please. Don't confuse your pitiful, train-wreck of a life with mine. Wellington: I'm what you call a famous brand-name product, while you are only a cheap imitation. Wellington: There is no way someone as magnificent as myself could have made a mistake. Payne: Of course, of course. Phoenix: (Oh ho ho ho. Of course.) Judge: Did you notice anything else of interest, witness? (6) Wellington: The only other thing I saw was the banana that fell with the police officer. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The banana...? Wellington: Well, it was actually more than just one. More like a bunch of bananas. Phoenix: Now what would a bunch of bananas be doing there...? Wellington: And why would I know such a thing? I'm only telling you what I saw. Maya: That's really strange. Maya: Maggey never mentioned anything about a bunch of bananas. Maya: That's it, Nick! He's gotta be lying about the bananas! Phoenix: (Hmm... He could be, but...) Phoenix: (there's no reason for him to lie about there being bananas at the crime scene.) Phoenix: And what if it's not a lie? Maya: Well, maybe he thought he was seeing one thing, and it was something else...? Phoenix: (If he mistook something else for a bunch of bananas, then that would be an inaccuracy.) Phoenix: (Think Phoenix, think!) -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (If my client is innocent, there is no way he could've seen what he says he did.) Maya: Which means if we can somehow show he's lying... Phoenix: Yeah, that's exactly what we need do. Phoenix: (She's right. She's got a sharp mind, but I just wish I could remember who she is...) Maya: Is everything OK, Nick...? RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Baseball Glove* at (6) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Mr. Wellington. Phoenix: I believe I have the bananas you saw... right here! Wellington: Ah, so you knew about the bananas, too. Why didn't you say so earlier? Wellington: But don't think you can use this as a way to pull more information out of me. Phoenix: (And that's where you'd be wrong.) Judge: M-Mr. Wright. What is the meaning of this? Payne: Isn't that the baseball glove? Wellington: Huh!? Wh-Wh-What!? A baseball glove?? Phoenix: Doesn't it look delicious? Care for a bite? Wellington: Th-That's... Wellington: That's not... It's a... Noooooooo! Phoenix: Your Honor! I think this proves one very important fact!

Wellington: Huh? How... What... You... Why are you asking me about this all of a sudden!? Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: Your Honor, it is very simple to mistake a glove for a bunch of bananas... Judge: No, I don't think so. Objection overruled. Wellington: Y-Y-You... You're one of those people. Yes, you know what I mean. Wellington: You're like those people who refused to accept Galileo for his Copernican Theory! Wellington: You're too used to your world view to realize that there are other, new possibilities! Wellington: Sure, in the end, we find out that it is in fact, a glove, not bananas. However... Wellington: when viewed from afar, I do think there is room enough for doubt, don't you...? Phoenix: And that is why I asked you how bad your eyesight is! Wellington: They're both 20/200. I suppose you're going to tell me that's terrible, right!? Judge: Why are you not wearing your glasses today then? Wellington: ... Wellington: Ummm... That's because I lost them recently, you see... Wellington: Of course, I was planning on getting a new pair made right away! Wellington: But you know, my glasses are no ordinary glasses, so to replace them-- Phoenix: How about when you witnessed the crime? Were you wearing your glasses then? Wellington: ...! Phoenix: How about it, witness!? Wellington: Y-You are an unrelenting, evil man. Wellington: You're like those people who rejected Joan of Arc and put her to death! Wellington: She was brave and courageous, only to be caught by horrible, unrighteous people. Wellington: And while she didn't do anything wrong, she was still gruesomely burned at the-- Phoenix: Which boils down to you were not wearing your glasses at that time! Phoenix: Therefore! Phoenix: The identity of the "woman" at the scene of the crime and that of the defendant Phoenix: can not be proven to be the same by this witness! Wellington: ...! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: But the height difference was only 9 feet! Payne: It was very possible for him to see the face of the culprit standing on the upper path! Judge: Hmm... Witness. Judge: Please be more accurate in your testimony. Remember, a person's life is at stake. Wellington: Y-Yes, Your Honor! Judge: Now then, please continue with your testimony. Payne: Please tell the court what happened next, in the moments after you witnessed the crime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- What Happened Next -- (1) Wellington: The girl on the upper path ran away as soon as she realized I was there. (2) Wellington: After that, I immediately called the police station to report the crime. (3) Wellington: It must've been 6:45 PM when I made the call. (4) Wellington: They must have a lot of free time on their hands since they showed up within 10 minutes. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Judge: So the person who was on the upper path saw you and then ran away. Wellington: Yes, that is correct. Wellington: Which is why, even someone without a superior brain like mine can understand that... Wellington: that girl is the murderer! Judge: You may question the witness now, Mr. Wright. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- What Happened Next -- (1) Wellington: The girl on the upper path ran away as soon as she realized I was there. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: She ran away, just like that? Wellington: Yes, she did. She saw me and flew the nest like the guilty bird she is. Wellington: Oh, I'm sorry. Was that pun too hard for someone who only got a third-rate education? Phoenix: (Actually, that did take me a few seconds to get...) Phoenix: Anyway, if she ran away the instant she saw you, how could you tell it was my client? Wellington: Eek! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: The witness has already answered that question. Payne: He has stated that the defendant is the culprit! Judge: This is true. Mr. Wright, I'm striking your question from the record. Phoenix: (Hmm, how can I get more information out of him?) (2) Wellington: After that, I immediately called the police station to report the crime. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Immediately? As in? Wellington: As in immediately! I mean, sure, a minute might have elapsed before I did, but... Wellington: That's the duty of every good citizen, or did they not teach that at your pitiful school? Phoenix: (You think people learn about how to call the police in COLLEGE!?) Maya: Hey, Nick. I think you should take a look at the Court Record for a sec. Phoenix: (...?) (3) Wellington: It must've been 6:45 PM when I made the call. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: How do you know what time it was...? Wellington: That detective told me. You know which one I mean. Wellington: The one with the jacket that makes him look like a dropout from a no-name high school. Gumshoe: Hey, pal! I graduated from a pretty good, I mean, top-ranked college! Phoenix: (I don't believe this.) Wellington: It doesn't matter. I don't believe I was mistaken on what time I called. Wellington: And if I am wrong, then that detective obviously doesn't know how to tell time. Gumshoe: What!? Why you!!! You're just some lousy kid who... Payne: I think the court can see your point. Anyway, how did the police respond? (4) Wellington: They must have a lot of free time on their hands since they showed up within 10 minutes. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you're saying that there were police on the scene by 7:00 PM? Wellington: They got there before that, I think. Wellington: There usually aren't many people in that area at that time of day. Wellington: But suddenly, before I knew it, there were people crawling all over gawking. Wellington: It certainly says something about the morals of the people in this country. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (I can't find anything out of the ordinary in his testimony...) Maya: Why don't you take one more look at the Court Record? Phoenix: Yeah, I guess I should. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Dustin's Autopsy Report* at (2) or (3) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Mr. Wellington, would you please take a look at this? Judge: You mean the victim's autopsy report? Phoenix: According to this, the murder occurred at 6:28 PM. Wellington: So what of it? Phoenix: You said that you called the police immediately after the murder took place. Phoenix: However, by the time you had called the police, it was already 6:45 PM. Phoenix: There is clearly a 15 minute gap here! Do you deny it!? Wellington: Aaaack! Phoenix: I think this court would like to hear what you were doing during this 15 minute gap! Wellington: Grrrrrr! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: The witness was in shock at the time after witnessing a terrible murder! Payne: It's only to be expected that he would be a little dazed... Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Fifteen minutes is hardly what I would call "a little dazed"! Payne: Aaaaah! Judge: Mr. Wellington. Wellington: Y-Yes? Judge: Explain yourself. What were you doing during those 15 minutes? Wellington: ... Phoenix: Answer the question! Wellington: ... I... Uhh... Telephone... Err... I mean... Phoenix: Spit it out! Wellington: I... I was searching for a phone booth! Phoenix: A phone booth? Judge: You mean, you don't have a cell phone? Wellington: ...! Wellington: You and your questions! As if you're trying to open all the layers of a Matryoshka doll. Wellington: You must think you're really something special! Phoenix: Witness! Wellington: I-I lost my cell phone! There! Are you happy!? Phoenix: You lost it...? Judge: Unbelievable! You lose your glasses, and your cell phone! Judge: You must be very scatterbrained when it comes to your belongings. Wellington: What!? Are you saying that first-rate people are never allowed to lose things!? Wellington: Haven't you ever heard that all geniuses have a strange quirk or two? Wellington: So by that rationale, since I have my own quirk, it would mean that I am a genius Wellington: I don't think simple, plain people like you can underst-- Judge: Enough! Phoenix: (Oh man, oh man...) Phoenix: (Wait! Hold on a second. He lost... his cell phone?) Maya: Nick! That cell phone! Could it be...? Phoenix: You mean this phone Maggey found? There's no way...!

Phoenix: Where is your cell phone right now? Wellington: Heh, what are you getting all excited about? You seem to be a little confused. Wellington: I found my phone, I'll have you know. See. Here is it. Phoenix: Oh... I see... Maya: Hmm, looks like he's got his phone. Maya: And I thought that just maybe this was his. Phoenix: Hmm... Judge: Well then, I think we've cleared this issue up. Judge: At the time of the murder, the witness did not have his cell phone because he had lost it. Judge: Therefore, the delay in his call was caused by his search for a phone booth. Wellington: Well, that's the gist of it. I guess you could put it that way and leave it at that. Judge: Do you have any further questions, Mr. Wright? *** No further questions ******************* * * Phoenix: * Hmm...

Phoenix: All the defendant had to do was walk three steps! Phoenix: Mr. Wellington! Why did you not use the phone that was right in front of you!? Wellington: Ooooooougn! Judge: Order! Order! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: Wh-What does reporting the crime a little late prove for you!? Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: The witness can't explain what he was doing for those 15 minutes! Phoenix: That is reason enough to throw suspicion on his testimony! Judge: Yes, this is very true. What do you have to say for yourself, witness!? Wellington: ... Maya: Then I bet this phone really is his, Nick! Maya: He must've killed Dustin to get his phone back! Phoenix: But Maggey said that she was going to return it to him. Phoenix: So there was no reason for him to kill for it. Phoenix: And on top of that, we still have the phone she found anyway. Maya: Hmm... But if he wasn't looking for his cell phone, Maya: was he looking for something else...? Phoenix: (Was he...?) Judge: Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor? Judge: Do you have any thoughts you would like to share with the court?

Wellington: I-I didn't confess or confirm a-any-anything! Phoenix: Your Honor! I think the answer is quite clear here! Phoenix: As he fell, Dustin Prince grabbed the culprit's glasses.

What about that...? Phoenix: Oh, you mean the name "Maggie"? Wellington: Y-Yeah! Even an idiot like you can read that, right? Phoenix: But we already know this was not written by the victim himself. Phoenix: After all, the defendant's name is "Maggey" and the victim was left-handed.

But, but!! Wellington: Wouldn't that mean that the real criminal was someone the defendant knew? Wellington: Otherwise, how else would that person know her name was "Maggie", er "Maggey"!?

Phoenix: I do, Your Honor. Phoenix: On the day of the murder, Maggey Byrde picked up a lost phone in the park. Phoenix: And! Phoenix: She also received a phone call from the owner of the phone! -------------------------------------------- Phone: ............... Phone: ...*beep*... Byrde: "Um, hello?" ? ? ?: "Oh, thank you! I've been searching for my phone." Byrde: "Is this yours? Oh, I'm glad you called! We can meet up and I can give this back!" ? ? ?: "I'll be right there, um... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name..." Byrde: "You can call me Maggey!" -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: That was when you learned that her name was "Maggey"! Wellington: Uh, um, nnngh... Phoenix: But you made one fatal mistake. Judge: Fatal mistake? Phoenix: My client's name is "Maggey" but the name that was written on the ground was "Maggie". Phoenix: This is a mistake that could only occur if all you knew was how her name sounded! Wellington: EEEEEEEEEK! Judge: Order! Order! Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: B-But, Your Honor! Payne: The witness has no motive! Judge: And your point is? Payne: It's very simple, Your Honor. A person usually would not kill someone without a reason. Payne: Mr. Wellington had no reason to kill anyone! Wellington: That is absolutely correct! I don't have a motive! Judge: Hmm... Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Your Honor? Judge: Can you explain what motive this witness could have had? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: It's very simple, Your Honor. Wellington: ...! Maya: Are you sure, Nick!? Phoenix: If I said I can't offer an explanation, then the trial's over, right? Maya: Yeah, but...

Phoenix: Can you explain why these numbers were on your phone, Mr. Wellington!? Wellington: Th-This... This is an outrage! An invasion of privacy! Wellington: Looking up the phone numbers on a person's phone is a worse crime than murder! Wellington: Y-You're one of those people! Wellington: You're just like the cops who raided that brilliant artist, Maurice Utrillo's atelier! Wellington: They disrupted a genius at work and interrupted his dialogue with the Goddess of-- Phoenix: I don't care, Mr. Wellington!

Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: Your Honor! This-This is... This is unjust badgering of the witness! Judge: Objection overruled. Judge: Mr. Wright! What is the meaning of this!?

Wellington: Nooooo! Phoenix: All of your "friends'" phone numbers are stored right here on this phone. Phoenix: If anyone were to look into these phone numbers, it would be all over for you. Phoenix: That is why you had to kill. Wellington: Noooo! This is tooooo much!! Judge: Hmm, that does make quite a bit of sense. Judge: Well, Mr. Wellington? Would you care to explain? Wellington: ... I... Um, I... Phoenix: (I got you now!) Wellington: I... I... That... I... That police officer... Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: Your Honor! Judge: What is it, Mr. Payne? Payne: Your Honor! This-This is... This... This is unjust badgering of the witness! Judge: You said the exact same thing only a few seconds ago. Payne: P-P-P-P-Please! Payne: Please, let's think about the content of that phone call! -------------------------------------------- Phone: ...*beep*... Byrde: "Um, hello?" ? ? ?: "Oh, thank you! I've been searching for my phone." Byrde: "Is this yours? Oh, I'm glad you called! We can meet up and I can give this back!" -------------------------------------------- Payne: The defendant had already promised that she would return the phone. Payne: After that, all Mr. Wellington had to do was meet Ms. Byrde to get his phone back. Payne: Why, then, would he need to kill anyone!? Judge: Hmm... That is a valid point. Judge: What does the defense think about this point? Phoenix: (Hmm...) Phoenix: (If you think about it logically, then it makes sense...) Maya: Then maybe we should be thinking outside the box! Phoenix: (Yeah! If we think like that... Let's see...) Phoenix: (Maybe that slimeball saw something at the crime scene that made him commit murder.) Judge: Your thoughts, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: Hmm, well... Phoenix: I don't think Mr. Wellington went to pick up his phone in a very friendly manner. Payne: But he was promised his phone, so why would he have been unfriendly to the defendant? Phoenix: I think he must have seen something that didn't agree with him when he got there.

Payne: T-The... The victim!? You mean Dustin Prince!? Phoenix: Dustin Prince had gone on his date right after his shift was over. Phoenix: With no time to change, he went to the park still wearing his police uniform! Judge: Oh! "The girl that picked up my phone is with a policeman!" Phoenix: He couldn't have known they were going out so he began to worry. Phoenix: He was afraid the policeman would ask a few questions before returning the phone. "If I do anything suspicious, he might run a check on my phone..." Phoenix: In his mind, it was possible they had already run a check on the phone! Judge: And he went into a panic, is what you're saying? Phoenix: Exactly. Phoenix: Officer Prince was murdered simply because he was in uniform! Payne: Mr. Payne. Do you have any comments? Payne: I, um... I'm thinking... Judge: Hmm, it seems the truth has come out at last. Judge: The witness... Mr. Wellington, you are-- Wellington: Ha... Ah ha ha... Wellington: Ahahahahahahaaahahaahahaahaha hahahaHahahaAhahahahahaHahaha HahhaahaAAAHAHAhhahahahah Wellington: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAWAHA HAHAHAHAWAHAHAHAHAWAHA AHAHAHWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA Wellington: Ha ha ha ha...

That guy is really creeping me out-- Wellington: All you've been waving around and talking about is that "suspicious" cell phone. Wellington: Suspicious phone number this, suspicious con group that! They're all on that phone! Wellington: But who's to say that phone is really mine!? Where's your proof!? Your evidence!? Phoenix: You want proof that this phone is yours? Wellington: Ahahahaha! Ahehehehehe! I already told you earlier! Wellington: That phone I lost -- I've already found it! Wellington: You don't have even the slightest idea who the phone in your hand belongs to! Wellington: You can be sure it isn't mine, you simpleton! Phoenix: WHAT!? Wellington: Hehehehe... Heh... Hehehehe... It feels good to see you squirm. Judge: Hmm... We do seem to have a problem on our hands with this phone. Judge: Whose phone is it? Without knowing that, it's meaningless as evidence. Phoenix: Your Honor! Phoenix: (This is bad... I can't let him turn the tables on me like this!!) Phoenix: (Hmm... This cell phone...) Phoenix: (There has to be something I've overlooked. There's got to be! Hmm...

Phoenix: (But how am I supposed to prove something like that!?) Judge: Mr. Wright. Judge: If you cannot prove who the owner of that cell phone is, Judge: your indictment has no basis, and therefore, no power. Judge: It looks like you came up a penny short. Phoenix: (Where...? Where did I go wrong...?) Wellington: Don't blame yourself, you're merely a third-rate lawyer. Wellington: You only made one big mistake. Wellington: Who are you? What are you? That's something you haven't figured out for yourself yet. Phoenix: (Who... I am?) Judge: The court hereby concludes the cross-examination! Wellington: Heh heh heh... Wellington: If that will be all, I'll have to bid you gentlemen and ladies goodbye. Wellington: I have a reservation at that ultra-fancy restaurant on the upper side of town.

It's probably because of me... Phoenix: Huh? Byrde: My whole life has been nothing but a whirlwind of bad luck and failures. Maya: Your whole life? It couldn't have been that bad, could it? Byrde: Since I was 6 months old, when I fell from the 9th floor of my apartment building, Byrde: I've been hit by all sorts of vehicles, gotten sick from all sorts of foods, Byrde: failed at almost every test I've ever taken, experienced almost every kind of disaster, Byrde: and never won or even tied at a game of tic-tac-toe! Byrde: My life has really been nothing but a string of disasters. Phoenix: That is, uh... pretty bad... Byrde: Up until I went to college, I was known as the "Goddess of Misfortune". Byrde: And then, at the academy, everyone called me "Lady Luckless". Maya: "Lady Luckless"... Byrde: What's worse is that my misfortune always seems to latch onto those around me. Maya: What do you mean? Byrde: When I see someone in trouble, I always try to help... Phoenix: Ah, that's right. You were talking about this earlier. Byrde: It happened again recently, too, sir. Byrde: There was an old lady pacing back and forth by the pedestrian crosswalk. Byrde: I gave her my hand and... Byrde: before I knew it, we were having dinner at my house. Maya: ... Oh. Byrde: I'm sure that Dustin's gone because of me... Maya: That's not true! Byrde: That glove didn't even have any sort of special meaning. Byrde: It was just a present to say thanks for covering one of my night shifts. Maya: Oh, I see... Byrde: Everything is all my fault! Dustin's death, Byrde: your head being all messed up... Phoenix: Uh, well, I don't think my head is that messed up yet... Byrde: I'm going to find a new life for myself starting now. Byrde: The next time we meet, I'm sure I'll... Byrde: I'm sure I'll have found a whole ocean's worth of good luck by then, sir! Phoenix: Yeah. After all, the "Goddess of Misfortune" is only a name! Byrde: You bet! I'm gonna make it! I promise! Byrde: Next time we meet, I'll only be an "Unlucky Person", instead of a goddess! Phoenix: Y-Yeah! That's the spirit! Byrde: Well, Mr. Wright, Maya, I should get going. Maya: OK! Good luck to you! Byrde: Thanks! You take care of yourselves, too! -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: *sigh* What a horrible day... Phoenix: I've gotten my memory back, but things are still a little fuzzy... Maya: But you're OK, and that's what counts. You really had me worried! Maya: Come on, let's go back to the office. Phoenix: (Hmm... I'm afraid to ask, but here goes...) Phoenix: So, this might sound bad, but... uh... Who are you...? Maya: What!? Maya: I thought you said you got your memory back! -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (At that moment,) Phoenix: (everything really did come back to me...) Detective Gumshoe... He's someone I've had clashes with in the past during certain cases. But he's also been a good ally during others. The Judge... He's a lovable, kind old man who is easily swayed by other people's opinions. But in the end, he always comes up with the right verdict. ... This person... I haven't got a clue... He seems to know me, but maybe he's mistaking me for someone else...? -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (And this girl...) ...Maya...? Maya: You... You finally remembered! Phoenix: (This is Maya Fey, my assistant.) Phoenix: (That's right... I have so many unforgettable memories about her.) Phoenix: (For example...) Maya: Earth to Nick! What's wrong? Maya: You keep staring at me! Don't tell me you've missed me? Phoenix: Uh, well, yeah I suppose I have. Phoenix: I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. Maya: Oh? Maya: Well, I'm back now. So it's time for us to create new memories together! Phoenix: Alright. Sounds good. Phoenix: (All the phone numbers on my phone were erased by Mr. Wellington.) Phoenix: (I guess I have to start over from the very beginning...) Maya: Come on, Nick! Let's go to our usual burger joint! Phoenix: OK, OK.

Phoenix: (The events of that gloomy, rainy afternoon that started this whole mess...) Phoenix: (keep playing through my mind...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 16, 3:34 PM Wright & Co. Law Offices ? ? ?: What depressing rain... ? ? ?: Do you understand how depressed that makes me!? Do you!? Phoenix: Uh, I guess... ? ? ?: But actually, more than being depressed, I'm angry. Angry at that weather girl on TV. ? ? ?: "I think our little rainy spell will take a break with a day of sun!" ? ? ?: ...is what that girl said! I'd stake my life on it! Phoenix: Well, it's the weather... ? ? ?: But that's why I didn't bother to bring an umbrella today. ? ? ?: What nerve, calling herself a weather girl! She's going to hear about my $1500 suit! Phoenix: Um... About your case... Phoenix: Unless you're planning on suing the weather girl...? ? ? ?: ... ? ? ?: I'm sorry. ? ? ?: I thought that before we got down to business, we could have some friendly chatter. ? ? ?: My name is Dr. Turner Grey. I'm a surgeon. Phoenix: (Remind me never to end up under his knife...) Grey: I'm here today because of this incident. Phoenix: "Malpractice at Grey Surgical Clinic. Fourteen In-Patients Lose Their Lives!" Phoenix: ...Oh. You're... the doctor at...? Grey: It's really quite upsetting. Grey: Did you hear me!? UPSETTING! Phoenix: Yes, yes, I heard you. I agree, it's quite upsetting, Dr. Grey. Grey: The one that screwed up was that nurse! Grey: It was her that got the medications mixed up and killed those 14 patients! Grey: And yet! Now listen good! And yet! Grey: That nurse had the nerve to go and die before admitting to her wrongdoing! Grey: She didn't even offer any sort of explanation to me! And this is the kicker! Grey: She up and has herself a grand ol' accident and crashed her car! Grey: Smash! Crunch! Instantly transforming her car into the accordion model! -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (That's right... About a year ago, all the tabloid shows were talking about it.) Phoenix: (Fourteen victims of medical malpractice and the nurse's mysterious fatal accident.) Phoenix: (There were rumors that Dr. Grey had actually caused that crash.) Phoenix: (People said it was to forever hide the person responsible for the malpractice incident.) -------------------------------------------- Grey: Why would I...? Now, I'm just going to say this once -- Grey: Why on Earth would I want to kill that nurse? Grey: She's the one who killed those 14 patients! Not me! Phoenix: I think you need to take a deep breath, doctor, and focus... Phoenix: More to the point, this case is over a year old. Why bring it up now...? Grey: That's simple! Because the situation is slipping out of my grasp. Grey: This just won't do. My clinic isn't seeing nearly as many patients nowadays. Grey: Do you understand what that means!? It means they're not coming to my clinic! Phoenix: (You don't say...? If it were me, I don't think I'd want to go either.) Phoenix: So... what would you like me to do about it...? Grey: I want you to help me prove I'm innocent. Phoenix: Um, you do realize I'm a lawyer, not a private investigator, right? Grey: No, this is something only you can do. Phoenix: ...? Grey: Maya Fey. You know this girl, correct? Phoenix: ...! Phoenix: (Maya! Why would he know her name...!?) Grey: I heard you were working under her for a little while. Phoenix: Well, yes... I mean... Hey, wait a second here! Phoenix: I worked UNDER her!? Grey: Yes. Am I wrong? She told me, so I'm not quite sure if... Phoenix: Well, we worked a few trials together. Phoenix: But she went back to her hometown to undergo more training. Grey: Ah, yes, I heard. It must be lonely for you. Phoenix: Wh-What!? Wait... I'm not...! Grey: She must be an extraordinary girl to handle such rigid training. Phoenix: Huh? Grey: I have an acquaintance who knows a lot about these mystical sorts of things. Grey: She's the one who introduced me to Ms. Fey. Phoenix: (Is Maya... really that famous...?) Grey: And I've already set up an appointment. Phoenix: For what? Grey: What else!? A channeling! Grey: I'm going to have her call the spirit of that nurse that went and got herself killed! Phoenix: O-Oh. Phoenix: (Maya... I wonder what she's up to right now...) -------------------------------------------- Maya: We, the women of the Fey family, have always been spirit mediums. Maya: It's because the power to communicate with spirits flows strongly through us. Phoenix: (That's what she told me...) Phoenix: (I guess she's learned to accept her responsibilities and become an adult...) -------------------------------------------- Grey: Not counting training, this will be her first time channeling a spirit, Grey: so she gave me one condition before accepting my request. Phoenix: A condition...? Grey: The condition is you, Mr. Wright. Grey: She said that she wouldn't do the channeling without first seeing you again. Phoenix: Me...? Grey: And that is why I've searched you out! Grey: You want to see her too, don't you!? -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (And so...)

How are you...? It's good to see you again. Maya: Wow, I didn't think you'd really show up! Phoenix: It's not that big a deal. You made it sound like you were soooo far away. Maya: Well, maybe I exaggerated... just a little. Phoenix: It was only 2 hours by train. If I had known you were this close, I'd have visited more. Maya: No! You're not allowed. I already decided, you know. Maya: Until I become an adult, I have to work hard and be strong by myself... Phoenix: Oh... well... Phoenix: Anyway, congratulations. I'm glad to hear training is going well for you. Maya: Heh, heh... -------------------------------------------- EXAMINE ------- +++ Phone booth ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + Phoenix: + It's an old-style phone booth. + I can't say it fits in with + this area too well. + + Phoenix: + My cell phone doesn't get + reception up here, so who + knows.

Pearl: Only you can see these "Psyche-Locks", Mr. Nick. Phoenix: (Psyche-Locks, huh...) Pearl: The more someone wants to hide their secret, the more locks you will see. Pearl: If it's only one, I think you can easily unlock it. Phoenix: "Unlock"...? But how? Pearl: Please use Mystic Maya's Magatama on this person, Pearl: and let's remove the lock. Phoenix: (I have no idea what she's talking about, but... Guess I'll give it a try.) Pearl: You must be careful, though, Mr. Nick. If you make a mistake, it will hurt you.

Mia: Even without me being here, it looks like you've learned to stand on your own. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Mia... She's Maya's older sister, and my mentor.) Phoenix: (She was a top-notch defense lawyer, but a certain case forced her into "retirement".) Phoenix: (But... whenever I'm in trouble, she comes to help, just like this.) Phoenix: (Her spirit comes back from the other world and borrows Maya's body for a bit...) -------------------------------------------- Mia: Phoenix, you can't make that kind of face in front of your client. Phoenix: ...! Mia: A lawyer is someone who smiles no matter how bad it gets, and especially when it's bad. Phoenix: Mia... Mia: You can't smile at the end if you haven't been smiling the whole way there. Mia: In any case, the face you're making now is no face to show a client, Phoenix. Phoenix: B-But!

Maya: Prosecutor von Karma!? You mean...? Phoenix: No, I heard it's his successor this time... Maya: Successor...? Maya: ... Maya: Manfred von Karma. He was a really sinister man. Maya: He pulled all sorts of nasty tricks; all so he could win. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (He was a man obsessed with the word "perfection"...) Phoenix: (He had a perfect record... for forty long years.) Phoenix: (Who knows what sorts of dirty tricks he used to get each of those guilty verdicts?) Phoenix: (And now, his successor... I wonder what kind of person they will turn out to be...) -------------------------------------------- Maya: It's no good... Mystic Maya!! Maya: Pearly! Maya: You showed up! Thanks for coming all this way! Pearl: I was really worried about you... Maya: Hey, where's your mother? Didn't you two come together? Pearl: Mother is watching over the trainees. Pearl: She said they have training for two days straight with no breaks. Maya: Huh!? Then... Then... You came all by yourself? Pearl: Yup! I snuck out of the manor and followed a map. Phoenix: Don't tell me you walked all the way here... Pearl: Of course not! ...I ran! Phoenix: That's... I can't... Oh my... (If it takes two hours by train... Oh man...) Maya: Pearly... What about the train? Pearl: Huh? What's a... "tray-in"? Phoenix: (I give up...) Pearl: ...It's time, isn't it? Maya: Um... I'm really scared... What if Von Karma tries to do something to me? Maya: At least I know Mr. Edgeworth would be nicer to me than Von Karma! Pearl: Mr. Eh-ji-werth? Who is that? Maya: Um, he's Nick's rival... Well, he's also a friend. -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Maya: I still remember him as if I had just seen him only yesterday. Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Maya: Every trial was a scorching fierce battle until the very end. Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* -------------------------------------------- Maya: It was always back and forth with them. But when you're rivals for life... Phoenix: Maya! Please don't mention that name ever again... Maya: Huh...? But why, Nick? Phoenix: I'm... I'm sorry, Maya. I forgot you don't know... Phoenix: He... He's... He's gone... And he's not coming back... Maya: Whaaaat!? Maya: W-W-Wait... Wait a second!! What's that supposed to mean!? Bailiff: Court will commence shortly. Please proceed into the courtroom. Phoenix: ... Phoenix: Let's go. Now's not the time to talk about that anyway. Maya: N...Nick...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 21, 10:00 AM District Court Courtroom No. 2 Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Maya Fey. Judge: Are the prosecution and the defense prepared? ? ? ?: ... Phoenix: ... (What is with this girl...?) Judge: ... Judge: *Ahem!* Mr. Wright!! Are you finally prepared!? Phoenix: Huh? Phoenix: A-Ah, yes, Your Honor. (Why does he always seem mad at me!?) ? ? ?: Mr. Phoenix Wright. Phoenix: ...! ? ? ?: You must be a little shocked because I am a woman, correct? Phoenix: (...Hold on. So this kid is the "famed" Prosecutor von Karma...?) von Karma: I am Franziska von Karma, the Prodigy. Phoenix: I... see... von Karma: I gave up a promising career in Germany and came to this country for one sole reason. von Karma: Revenge. Phoenix: Revenge...? (Is this about her father, Manfred von Karma...?) Judge: Um... If it's something of a personal nature, I'm sure you can... Judge: Oww! von Karma: I'm talking. von Karma: If you interrupt again, my whip will do the speaking for me. Phoenix: (Please speak with your mouth like a normal person... I beg of you...) Phoenix: Yeow!! von Karma: Make no mistake; I will defeat you! von Karma: Prepare to go down, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Judge: Prosecutor von Karma, your opening statement, please... von Karma: Those of Von Karma blood have only one fate. von Karma: And that is "perfection". von Karma: The defendant, Maya Fey, will find no escape from her guilt on my watch. Judge: V-Very well... What is the defense's position? Phoenix: Your Honor. Judge: Does the defense wish to enter a plea of "not guilty"? Phoenix: ...Yes. von Karma: Foolish fool who foolishly dreams of foolish dreams... von Karma: Ten minutes. I give the defense ten minutes before it changes its plea. von Karma: That's right. I'll have you running for the "justified self-defense" plea in no time. Phoenix: ("Justified self-defense"...) Phoenix: (A plea usually reserved for when a person unintentionally kills in defense of himself.) Phoenix: (We could very easily make a solid case that it was self-defense, but...) Phoenix: The defense stands by the plea of "not guilty", Your Honor! Phoenix: (Because to plead "justified self-defense" is to say you did kill someone.) von Karma: How foolish. von Karma: If that's how you want to play it, Mr. Phoenix Wright, von Karma: then I shall now call the first witness. Phoenix: (She's just as scary as her father. Like father, like daughter I suppose.) -------------------------------------------- von Karma: Witness, your name and occupation? Gumshoe: Yes, sir! My name is Dick Gumshoe. I'm a detective at the local precinct. Gumshoe: Aah!! von Karma: Get to the point already. von Karma: Explain to the court the details of this murder. Gumshoe: Y-Yes, sir! Um, if everyone would please look at this map. Gumshoe: The Channeling Chamber has no windows and the door was locked shut. Gumshoe: At the time of the murder, only the victim and the defendant were in the room. Judge: What were they doing in there? Gumshoe: Um... They... Well, they were channeling... a spirit... Sir. Judge: Ch-Channeling a spirit?? Phoenix: (The look of disbelief on the judge's face is...) Gumshoe: *ahem* Anyway, a few minutes after the channeling started, Gumshoe: gunshots were heard coming from inside the room, sir. Gumshoe: A few of the witnesses broke the door down, and rushed into the room. Judge: Ah, and that's when they found that the victim was already dead, correct? Judge: Hmm, I believe this is one of the most open and shut cases I have ever presided over. *Floor Plans added to the Court Record.* Judge: So, how was the victim killed? Gumshoe: I was about to get to that... von Karma: Stop wasting my time, then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Cause of Death -- (1) Gumshoe: The direct cause of death was a pistol shot to the forehead, sir. (2) Gumshoe: The shot was fired from point-blank range. (3) Gumshoe: But before the victim was shot, sir, he was stabbed in the chest. (4) Gumshoe: The wound was very severe, but not enough to cause instantaneous death. (5) Gumshoe: The murderer used the pistol to finish the victim off after the stabbing. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Judge: So the victim was stabbed before being shot... Gumshoe: This is the victim's autopsy report, sir. *Autopsy Report added to the Court Record.* Judge: The court accepts it into evidence. Mr. Wright, you may question the witness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Cause of Death -- (1) Gumshoe: The direct cause of death was a pistol shot to the forehead, sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The murder weapon, Detective Gumshoe. Whose pistol was it? Gumshoe: It was the victim's. Phoenix: The victim? Now, why would he have... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: "Why would he have a pistol?" Who cares? von Karma: The point that you are missing is whose fingerprints are on that pistol. von Karma: If you're not already paying attention to that, then I suggest you start. Judge: Fingerprints? There were fingerprints? Gumshoe: Along with the victim's, Gumshoe: the defendant, Maya Fey's were also on the grip, sir. Judge: Hmm. Judge: So the defendant's fingerprints were left on the murder weapon... Phoenix: (Hmm... I walked right into her hands there.) (2) Gumshoe: The shot was fired from point-blank range. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Point blank, huh? So about how far away was it? Gumshoe: It was anywhere between 12 to 20 inches away. Phoenix: And how do you know he was shot at point blank? von Karma: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mr. Phoenix Wright. von Karma: I grow tired of the foolish foolery of the foolish fools of this foolish country... Phoenix: E-Excuse me!? von Karma: Gunpowder burn. Phoenix: ...Gunpowder burn? von Karma: When something is shot from point blank, a burn area is left around the bullet hole. Gumshoe: Gunpowder exploding is what makes a bullet fire, and that gets real hot, pal. Gumshoe: And there were definitely some gunpowder burns left on the victim's forehead! Phoenix: (Wow... Never knew that... Live and learn, I guess...) (3) Gumshoe: But before the victim was shot, sir, he was stabbed in the chest. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Stabbed... And what was he stabbed with? Gumshoe: A fruit knife. Judge: I see. And whose knife was it? Gumshoe: It looks like it belongs to the Feys, sir. Gumshoe: And of course, Maya Fey's fingerprints are all over it. Judge: Hmm... All over it, huh? Phoenix: (Urk. This does not look good...) von Karma: Ha ha ha. What will you do now, Mr. Phoenix Wright? (4) Gumshoe: The wound was very severe, but not enough to cause instantaneous death. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: How severe was the wound? Gumshoe: If it had been half an inch more to the right, it would've hit the victim's heart. Gumshoe: After a stab like that, it's impossible to fight back, let alone stand. Phoenix: (This testimony makes Maya look like she had stabbed him with the intent to kill...) (5) Gumshoe: The murderer used the pistol to finish the victim off after the stabbing. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you sure he was stabbed first, then shot? Gumshoe: Yup. Sure as sure can be. Gumshoe: One look at the wounds and you'd come to the same conclusion too, pal. von Karma: A fool is a fool who will only listen to the foolish opinions of other foolish fools... von Karma: A pistol shot to the forehead at point blank is certainly enough to kill instantly. von Karma: Does it matter, then, which was first? von Karma: Think a little more before you open that big mouth of yours, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Phoenix: (Grr... What a pain...) -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Nothing sounds out of place so far...) Phoenix: (I should try to learn more about the murder weapons, for now...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at (1), (2), (3) and (5)* Judge: That's enough! Judge: We have clearly established how the victim was murdered. Gumshoe: I brought the two murder weapons with me today. Judge: Very well. The court accepts them into evidence. *Pistol added to the Court Record.* *Knife added to the Court Record.* von Karma: The date and time of death was June 19th at 3:15 PM. von Karma: Eyewitnesses claim to have heard two gunshots at this time. Judge: And the two murder weapons, both with the defendant's fingerprints on them...? Judge: Hmm... This does seem like an open and shut case. von Karma: Naturally! Phoenix: (This is going from bad to worse...) Phoenix: (As if the summary just now wasn't oversimplifying things to the extreme...) von Karma: Your Honor. Feel free to slam that little gavel of yours. von Karma: After all, there is no room left for doubt, is there? Judge: That is quite true... Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Y-Yes? Judge: Even in the face of all this, do you still wish to plead "not guilty"? Judge: It's the opinion of this court that if you do not adjust your plea, you stand to lose. von Karma: See, just as I promised, Mr. Phoenix Wright. von Karma: You would change your plea in less than ten minutes... Judge: What will you do, Mr. Wright? Judge: Will you change to "justified self-defense"? Because now would be the time to do so. Judge: This is your final chance. Phoenix: (This is a huge decision!

Judge: Eek! von Karma: ... Judge: Oh, yes, of course.

(2) Gumshoe: This is the costume the defendant was wearing at the time of the crime. (3) Gumshoe: As you can see, it's covered in blood. (4) Gumshoe: The defendant attacked and killed a person who, without a doubt, was not fighting back. -------------------------------------------- Judge: So this is the costume... Judge: There certainly is evidence of a back spray of blood on this. Gumshoe: This piece directly links Maya Fey to the crime, sir. Judge: I see... The court accepts this into evidence. *Maya's Costume added to the Court Record.* Judge: Alright, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: (Maya's fingerprints on both murder weapons and blood splatters on her clothes...) Phoenix: (Could this situation get any worse??) von Karma: Hah. What's wrong? You seem to be at a loss. von Karma: I think this is the last piece of testimony the prosecution should have to offer. von Karma: Feel free to sulk off with your tail between your legs, Mr. Phoenix Wright!

It's disturbing.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Incriminating Evidence -- (1) Gumshoe: Sorry, pal but there's an even more incriminating piece of evidence. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Why didn't you say so in your testimony earlier!? Gumshoe: Uh... You're kinda scary today, you know, pal? Judge: Come now, Mr. Wright... There is no need for that kind of attitude in my court... Phoenix: ... Judge: A-Alright. Just, please stop glaring at me like that... (2) Gumshoe: This is the costume the defendant was wearing at the time of the crime. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Maya's... costume? Gumshoe: Yeah. She was wearing this when we arrested her. Phoenix: (Maya... She's wearing her channeling costume today too...) Phoenix: (Is she not allowed to wear anything else...?) (3) Gumshoe: As you can see, it's covered in blood. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: This blood on the costume... Gumshoe: Lab results show that it is the victim's blood. Judge: Hmm... So there is blood from the victim on the defendant's clothes. Phoenix: (Definitely not good... Urk.) Phoenix: Hmm, where there any other clues you could gleam from this piece of evidence? Gumshoe: Um, well... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: If you must change the topic, then the good detective here must testify again. von Karma: But too bad. Not enough time. Time to move on.

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: He wasn't "fighting back"? How do you know if he was or wasn't!? Gumshoe: We could find no evidence that the victim put up any sort of struggle, pal. Judge: Hmm... Judge: So did the murderer have a fight with the victim, or not? Judge: Depending on this, the circumstances around this murder change drastically. Phoenix: (Ugh... We're in real trouble now...) Phoenix: (If only I had something to prove that the victim did fight back...) -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (That Von Karma! She thinks she can decide the verdict with this testimony alone!) Phoenix: (I have to somehow find a critical contradiction and then I'll have her!) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present (updated) Maya's Costume* at (4) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Detective Dick Gumshoe! Gumshoe: Y-Yes? Gumshoe: Heh, having you call me by my full name is kind of a weird feeling... Phoenix: You said that my client killed "a person who, without a doubt, was not fighting back." Gumshoe: Yeah, I did. Phoenix: Then what, may I ask, is the bullet hole you police overlooked supposed to mean!? Gumshoe: Eh, um... What does it mean? Phoenix: I'll tell you what it means. Phoenix: It means that the victim had fired off a shot. Phoenix: Is this what it means to "not fight back"? Gumshoe: A-Ah! You're right! Judge: It would seem that way! Judge: If the victim tried to shoot the defendant, then... It would change everything... Phoenix: (Alright! The wind seems to be shifting...) von Karma: Hah. Phoenix: (What is with that "are you finished yet" laugh?) von Karma: Are you finished yet, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Judge: Ms. von Karma? von Karma: It seems... that Maya Fey was shot at by the victim. von Karma: However, that is only grounds enough to support a "justified self-defense" plea. Judge: That is correct. von Karma: But I'm sure you remember, Your Honor, what the defense clearly said. von Karma: They rejected "justified self- defense" and pleaded "not guilty." Phoenix: Ack! Gumshoe: Now that you... Judge: Why, that's right! von Karma: Which means! von Karma: The defense has yet to prove anything at all! Phoenix: Nooooo!! Judge: W-Well... Yes, that's true... von Karma: Furthermore... von Karma: just the fact that there is a bullet hole in the costume... von Karma: is not enough to substantiate even a plea of "justified self-defense". Judge: Huh? How so? Gumshoe: Aaah! von Karma: Don't just stand there. von Karma: Hurry up and tell the court what transpired that day. von Karma: ...With the new information we acquired added in, of course. Gumshoe: Huh? You mean... By myself...? Gumshoe: You want me to put together the scenario all by myself? Gumshoe: Aah! von Karma: ... Gumshoe: Y-Yes, sir! Right away, sir! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- What Transpired -- (1) Gumshoe: During the channeling, the defendant saw her chance to stab the victim in the chest. (2) Gumshoe: Of course, the victim used the last of his strength to fight back, sir. (3) Gumshoe: While the two were fighting, the victim took out his gun. (4) Gumshoe: The victim took a shot, but because they were too close, he missed. (5) Gumshoe: The defendant then picked up on the opening, took the victim's gun and ended it... -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... This scenario you have put together does make sense... Gumshoe: Yes, sir. Judge: Well, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: (Just by listening, it does make sense...) Phoenix: (However, I won't give up that easily!) Judge: P-Please refrain from glaring at me like that... Judge: Now then, your cross- examination, please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- What Transpired -- (1) Gumshoe: During the channeling, the defendant saw her chance to stab the victim in the chest. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: There is quite a difference in height between Dr. Grey and the defendant. Phoenix: Add in body strength, and it seems unlikely the defendant could have stabbed the victim! Gumshoe: Now that you mention it... Yeah, I guess... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: You think you can get away with such flimsy reasoning? Mr. Phoenix Wright! von Karma: Maya Fey was in the middle of channeling, was she not? Phoenix: ...? von Karma: When channeling with the Kurain Channeling Technique, the medium physically changes. von Karma: With the nurse's build, the defendant could have easily been a match for the doctor. Phoenix: (I don't believe it... She even studied up on the Kurain Channeling Technique!) von Karma: Like I said before... I am perfect. Judge: Um... Uh... About what you were talking about... I didn't quite get it... Phoenix: ... von Karma: ... Judge: Um, n-never mind. Let's continue with the testimony... (2) Gumshoe: Of course, the victim used the last of his strength to fight back, sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So he was stabbed, but the stab wound didn't kill him. Gumshoe: But if you think about the blood loss, it was pretty bad. Phoenix: How bad would you say it was? Gumshoe: Actually, I went to give blood the other day. Gumshoe: And afterward, I felt a little lightheaded and dizzy. Gumshoe: ...I guess the damage was maybe... about 10 times the dizziness...? Gumshoe: Ack! von Karma: ... Gumshoe: S-Sorry! (3) Gumshoe: While the two were fighting, the victim took out his gun. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Where in the world did that pistol come from? Gumshoe: It looks like the victim, Dr. Grey had specifically bought it for that day. Phoenix: But a handgun...? Gumshoe: He got it off the black market about 2 days before the murder. Phoenix: (Why did Dr. Grey bring a gun...?) Phoenix: (Was he taking precautions against something...?) (4) Gumshoe: The victim took a shot, but because they were too close, he missed. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, you're saying that the bullet hole in this costume was made then? Gumshoe: Sorry, pal, but that's what I'd think. Gumshoe: The two of them were already fighting when a shot was fired. Phoenix: (Maya... I'm really glad you weren't hurt...) von Karma: ... (5) Gumshoe: The defendant then picked up on the opening and took the victim's gun and ended it... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Maya has never fired a gun before in her life! Gumshoe: The victim had already taken off the safety. Gumshoe: With the safety off, even an amateur like you can fire it by pulling the trigger. Phoenix: (Even me...? I wonder...?) von Karma: Now do you understand? von Karma: A Von Karma's logic is perfect. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (His testimony certainly makes us look very bad,) Phoenix: (but there's gotta be a contradiction in there somewhere...) Phoenix: (And uncovering it is going to uncover the truth! I can feel it!) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Maya's Costume* at (4) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Missing the tiny hole on this costume... Phoenix: will be the prosecution's undoing. Gumshoe: Eh? What do you mean? Phoenix: This little hole has actually created a huge hole in your testimony! Judge: E-Explain yourself, Mr. Wright! Phoenix: You said the two of them were fighting when the victim fired his gun at point blank. Phoenix: If that were true, then where is the gunpowder burn on this costume!? Gumshoe: G-Gunpowder... burn? Phoenix: This is what you testified earlier: Phoenix: "When something is shot from point blank, a burn area is left around the bullet hole." Gumshoe: OH! Phoenix: But there is not a single trace of gunpowder burn on this costume!! Judge: That is a very good point. Judge: And... what exactly does this mean? Phoenix: It means that when the shot was fired, they were standing apart from each other. Judge: Hmm... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: I'm disappointed, Mr. Phoenix Wright. von Karma: You think you can punch a hole in my logic with that? von Karma: With wishy-washy thinking like that, anyone can explain anything away! Phoenix: Then I implore you to disprove my line of thinking. von Karma: Let's see... von Karma: In the middle of their fight, the victim pushed the defendant away. von Karma: And it was then, when they were separated, that he fired! How was that? Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: As if that was even possible. Phoenix: According to testimony, the wound from the stabbing was very severe. Phoenix: The victim would not have had the strength to push the defendant very far after that! von Karma: ...! von Karma: W-Well... Then... von Karma: That's right! The defendant must have pushed the victim away! von Karma: After stabbing him, she must have put some space between the doctor and herself. von Karma: And then while she was preparing to strike again, the doctor took his shot. von Karma: There. That sound satisfy even you. Judge: Hmm... That does make an awful lot of sense. Judge: What do you think, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: (I must be careful. I can't afford to make a mistake here!)

Phoenix: It looks like you already know what I'm talking about. Gumshoe: Who? Where? What? Judge: Mr. Wright! Your explanation, please! Phoenix: (Are these two really that clueless...?) Phoenix: The bullet went through the defendant's sleeve first, then the folding screen. Phoenix: It passed through at a height of approximately 8 inches off the ground... Which means! Phoenix: When the shot was fired, Maya... I mean, the defendant, Phoenix: was not getting ready to strike, but was actually squatting low to the ground! Judge: Order! Order! Judge: Th-This changes everything! Phoenix: Please look at this diagram of the crime scene. Phoenix: The victim, Dr. Grey was here when he fired the shot.

How can you gauge the distance from that!? von Karma: Isn't it possible that the defendant was standing much closer to the victim? Phoenix: That's impossible. von Karma: B-But why!? Phoenix: You, of all people, should know the answer to that question, Ms. von Karma. Phoenix: If she were shot from somewhere closer, there would be gunpowder burns present. Phoenix: However! Phoenix: There is nothing of the sort around the bullet hole of this costume! von Karma: Aaaaaah! von Karma: C-Curse you, Mr. Phoenix Wright! You...! Judge: Hmm...

Phoenix: However! Where and what was the defendant doing at the time...? Gumshoe: ...Squatting all the way by the folding screen...? Phoenix: Exactly. Phoenix: If Maya Fey was the real murderer, Phoenix: why would she be by the folding screen instead of preparing to strike? von Karma: Nnngh... Judge: Upon further consideration, it does make very little sense. Gumshoe: Yeah, I figured there had to be a reason. Phoenix: Figuring things out and proving the logic behind everything is YOUR job!

Phoenix: (Next witness...? That's gotta be Lotta!) Judge: Very well. Judge: The court will take a 5 minute recess. Judge: After we reconvene, we will hear from the next witness. To be continued. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 2-2: Trial [0423] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� June 21, 11:37 AM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Phoenix: Phew, that was a close one. Maya: I know you were giving it your all to defend me. Maya: But I could feel the death penalty hanging in the air... Phoenix: I felt like I was pretty close to dying myself... Pearl: But you were wonderful out there. Pearl: You listened carefully, made theories, and tricked everyone into believing you. Phoenix: Th-Thanks. Wait... Tricked?? Pearl: That must be the "lawyer's" secret technique, right? Maya: By the way... Is the next witness who I think it is...? Phoenix: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Lotta Hart. Maya: Oh... Another jam, like always... Maya: Remember, Nick! You promised you'd save me! Maya: If you lose, my ghost will come after you with my sis', and we'll haunt you! Pearl: Your sister...? Um, are you talking about Mystic Mia? Maya: Yeah. Do you remember her, Pearly? Maya: My sister was a super good lawyer! Maya: She was also Nick's teacher. Pearl: ...Oh, I didn't know that... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 21, 11:43 AM District Court Courtroom No. 2 Judge: Court will now reconvene. Now, the first order of... Judge: Oww! von Karma: I don't want to hear it, old man. von Karma: After I call my witness, sit there quietly and watch like a good little boy. Judge: Y-Yes, sir. von Karma: Bring in the photographer who witnessed the channeling! -------------------------------------------- von Karma: Witness. Your name and occupation, if you please. Lotta: Hey, Phoenix! How ya doin'? Phoenix: Just fine... Lotta: Sorry 'bout this. Didn't exactly have a choice, ya know...? Lotta: Yeowza! von Karma: Name and occupation. Lotta: I-I declare! What in tarnation!? Lotta: Hey, Judge! This here is violence against my fair self! Judge: That's fine. Lotta: "That's fine!?" That ain't fine!! That's a whip! Lotta: Eaaah! von Karma: There's no need for foolish outcries from foolishly foolish fools. von Karma: Just hurry up and testify about what happened on the day of the murder. Lotta: I haven't even gotten to say my name and job yet... von Karma: ... Lotta: The name's Lotta Hart, paranormal photographer, and I'm here to testify! Judge: Now, now, let's all be one big happy family... OK...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Witness's Account -- (1) Lotta: Only the Doc and the defendant went into the Channelin' Chamber. (2) Lotta: We were waitin' outside the door and then, "bang!" we hear this gunshot! (3) Lotta: Mr. Lawyer there broke the door down, and we rushed into the room. (4) Lotta: Inside was the dead victim, and the defendant, wavin' a pistol around. (5) Lotta: I swear, other than those two, there was no one else in the room. -------------------------------------------- Judge: And did you take a picture of the scene right after the murder took place? Lotta: Reckon course! Phoenix: Eh? ...Excuse me? Lotta: Reckon course! It's short for "Ya reckon!? Of course I did!" Lotta: Aah! von Karma: Does it look like I care? von Karma: Just hurry up and show your picture to the court. Phoenix: (The moment of truth. What will be in that picture?) Lotta: Umm, let's see here... This here's the picture! Judge: Hmm... Judge: It would certainly seem that only the defendant and the victim were in that room. *Lotta's Photo added to the Court Record.* von Karma: Are you ready, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Phoenix: (I will clear all doubt about Maya through this cross-examination...) Phoenix: (Just watch me!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Witness's Account -- (1) Lotta: Only the Doc and the defendant went into the Channelin' Chamber. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was it really only those two that went in!? von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: What are you blabbering about!? You were there too, were you not!? Phoenix: Urk. von Karma: Why don't you answer that yourself? Was it really just the two of them? Phoenix: ...Yes. Dr. Grey and Maya were the only two who went into the room... Judge: H-Hold on! We can't have the defense testifying against its own client! Lotta: Anyway, folks, only the two of 'em went into the Channeling Chamber, ya hear? von Karma: But you knew that from the very beginning, didn't you? ...Witness, continue. (2) Lotta: We were waitin' outside the door and then, "bang!" we hear this gunshot! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was it really a gunshot!? von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: Are you insane!? You must have heard it as well! Phoenix: Urk. von Karma: Why don't you testify for the court, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Was it really a gunshot? Phoenix: ...Yes. I think it was something that sounded like a gunshot... Judge: And why are we here listening to the defense testify!? Phoenix: (...And the world becomes just a little crueler...) Lotta: I heard a gunshot a long time ago, so I know. And I tell ya that was a gunshot I heard. Lotta: Now, this -- this is where the story heats up! (3) Lotta: Mr. Lawyer there broke the door down, and we rushed into the room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, let me get this straight! This "Mr. Lawyer there" broke the door down!? von Karma: Honestly, Mr. Phoenix Wright. Why don't you tell us what happened, then? Phoenix: Um... Yes, Ms. von Karma... I broke the door down. Sorry. Phoenix: (Why does this feel like an inquisition?) Lotta: No need for apologizin'! That was great! You're a real man! Judge: Oh, really? That's something I would've liked to see. Phoenix: (The judge is smiling rather openly. I'll take that as a good sign...) von Karma: And? What did you see once you broke in? (4) Lotta: Inside was the dead victim, and the defendant, wavin' a pistol around. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you sure it was the defendant, Maya Fey!? Lotta: Sure, I'm sure!

Just as I thought, there is nothing wrong with her testimony!) Phoenix: (I was with her, so I know she's telling the truth...) Judge: Enough. Judge: It seems that there are no issues with Ms. Hart's testimony. von Karma: At the time of the crime, only two people were in the Channeling Chamber: von Karma: the victim, Dr. Turner Grey, and the defendant, Maya Fey. Judge: Hmm... Judge: The face of the defendant can not be verified in this picture. Judge: However, if we think about the circumstances, it would have to be the defendant. Phoenix: (What am I going to do!? If I just let this go...) Judge: What is it, Mr. Wright? You look as if you have something to say...

Phoenix: (I didn't say anything about giving up!) Phoenix: (I just don't have the right piece of evidence to prove my argument...) Judge: That's enough! Phoenix: (I-Is this it...? Is this all I could do...?) Judge: I think it is quite obvious to this court that a verdict of not guilty is not possible. von Karma: I told you. Totally, 100% impossible. Judge: Ms. von Karma, do you have any further questions for this witness? von Karma: Having established the defendant's guilt, further questioning won't be needed. Judge: What about the defense? No further questions, I presume? Phoenix: (I... I couldn't protect Maya...) Phoenix: The defense... The defense... -------------------------------------------- ...Phoenix... ...Phoenix, you can't make that kind of face... ...A lawyer is someone who smiles... no matter how bad it gets!... Phoenix: M-Mia! -------------------------------------------- Mia: I guess I made it just in time, wouldn't you say? Phoenix: Y-You... But... P-Pearls! Mia: Her clothes ARE a bit small... Mia: Anyway, what are you waiting for, Phoenix!? Let's go! Phoenix: B-But how!? She's already taken away every advantage! Mia: The advantage is still in your hand! Mia: Think carefully, one more time, about what you saw in the Channeling Chamber. Mia: Do you remember what you told me yesterday? -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: D-Dr. Grey!! *klik* ? ? ?: ...I was... murdered... Phoenix: W-What!? *klik* Phoenix: Lotta! At a time like this!? Lotta: Times like this are perfect for snapping up shots! -------------------------------------------- Mia: You see... There is one final piece of the puzzle. Phoenix: Mia...? Mia: Question Lotta one more time, Phoenix. Mia: I don't know if she's doing it subconsciously or on purpose, but... Mia: she's not testifying truthfully. Judge: Now then, this court would like to end the cross- examination period. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Please wait, Your Honor! Phoenix: The defense would like to request that the witness testify one more time. Judge: Overruled. Judge: I'm afraid you're too late, Mr. Wright. The cross- examination has already ended. Judge: Furthermore, any unrelated ques- von Karma: It's fine. I'll allow another testimony. von Karma: A Von Karma's case is perfect. Absolutely flawless. von Karma: And what better time than this for you to see that. Judge: B-But... I mean... I have some place I must go after this... Judge: Mmph! A-Al-Alright! I'll allow it! Judge: Ms. Hart! Hurry and give us another testimony! Lotta: Well... heck... What am I supposed to talk about? Phoenix: Please tell us once more what happened when you burst into the Channeling Chamber. Lotta: OK! You got it! Mia: See, you got through to the judge somehow, right? Phoenix: (Well, actually it was Von Karma's whip that got through to him...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Witness' Account, Pt.2 -- (1) Lotta: When we broke into that room, all I could focus on was Maya. (2) Lotta: I was... uh, kinda scared of the dead body, so I didn't take a good look at it. (3) Lotta: I'm really bad when it comes to blood and ghosts and stuff. (4) Lotta: But I still managed to point my camera at Maya and take a shot! -------------------------------------------- Judge: Nothing sounds different from before... Phoenix: (Some parts of her testimony were very vague.) Phoenix: (I should press her on those sections!) von Karma: Struggle all you like as you taste the bitterness of your defeat. von Karma: Well, amuse me with your useless questions, Mr. Phoenix Wright. I'm waiting... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Witness' Account, Pt.2 -- (1) Lotta: When we broke into that room, all I could focus on was Maya. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, what did she look like? Lotta: Ya know, she looked almost like a different person. Judge: A... A different person? von Karma: She may have seemed like a different person, however, she was still Maya Fey. von Karma: We have already made that point abundantly clear! Judge: Yes, that is true... Judge: Well, then, Ms. Hart. Did you happen to see anything else? (2) Lotta: I was... uh, kinda scared of the dead body, so I didn't take a good look at it. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Then perhaps that body was not Dr. Grey's at all! Lotta: Eh!? W-Well... I reckon that's possible... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: If the body inside that room was not that of Dr. Grey, von Karma: then whose body was it, Mr. Phoenix Wright!? Phoenix: Well, what if it was that of Maya Fey after the channeling? Or maybe -- Phoenix: Oww! von Karma: Foolish fool spouting foolish foolishness, just as I expect of a foolish fool such as you. von Karma: If that were the case, then that would mean that Maya Fey is, in fact, dead. von Karma: And that would make the defendant's chair quite a lonely place, wouldn't it!? Phoenix: (Urk... Sorry, Maya...) Lotta: Are y'all done here? Can I continue? (3) Lotta: I'm really bad when it comes to blood and ghosts and stuff. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And even knowing that, you still persist in being a paranormal photographer? Lotta: That's why I'm getting out of this here business. Lotta: This gal's gonna get the dirt on the stars and be a tabloid photographer from now on! Phoenix: (She goes through jobs faster than a baby through diapers.) Phoenix: Wah! von Karma: Mr. Phoenix Wright. von Karma: Would it kill you to stay on topic for a change? Judge: Well? Would it, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: (Nice, tag-teamed in stereo. Guess I should be grateful it's not in 5.1...) (4) Lotta: But I still managed to point my camera at Maya and take a shot! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Two, right? Lotta: T-Two what? Phoenix: Two shots. Phoenix: You took two shots. CONTINUE TO THE NEXT PART -------------------------------------------- Mia: There must be something we can use in her testimony just now. Mia: We must find it! At all costs... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge: But... Only one has been submitted as evidence! Phoenix: Ms. Hart! Where is the other picture you have been withholding!? Lotta: No, no, no! You've got it all wrong! It's not me! Lotta: I-I didn't mean anything bad! I know I can be a little mean, but I ain't evil! Phoenix: (Well, at least she knows herself...) Judge: Then why have you not shown this "other picture" to this court yet? Lotta: Well, ain't it obvious!? That prosecutor woman told me to shut my trap about it! Phoenix: W-What!? Phoenix: V... Phoenix: Von Karma!! Judge: M-M-Ms. von Karma! Y-Y-You... You're hiding critical evidence...! von Karma: ...

Phoenix: "M-More trouble that it's worth!?" How... How can you say that!? von Karma: If you want to see it that badly, I'll submit it. *Lotta's Photo 2 added to the Court Record.* Judge: ... Judge: Wh-What is...? What is this picture!? von Karma: It's obviously the second picture the witness took that day at the scene of the crime. von Karma: Well, it's a little off center. But that's what you get with a nervous amateur. Judge: Well, I think the important point here is the person in this picture! Judge: This is most definitely NOT Maya Fey!

Judge: Maya Fey? Judge: But... Isn't this a totally different person!? von Karma: She looks this way because she is obviously in the middle of channeling a spirit! Judge: It's unbelievable... That she can... von Karma: However, it is true. von Karma: When Maya Fey is in that state, she physically changes into the person she's calling! Judge: ... Mia: I wonder if she knows what she's doing... Phoenix: (M-Mia!) Mia: Taking pictures of someone during a private visit is illegal. Mia: That picture can't be submitted as evidence. von Karma: ... von Karma: Obviously, this picture is illegal. von Karma: But I never intended to submit it as evidence in the first place! Phoenix: (Wh-What is she...?) von Karma: From the moment I showed this picture to the court, this case became all mine. von Karma: After all, this image has now been forever burned into the judge's mind.

Your Honor! von Karma: I would like to extend an apology on behalf of those incompetent fools. Judge: Wh-What do you mean? And what "incompetent fools"...? von Karma: If those fools down at the precinct hadn't missed the bullet hole, von Karma: I would have gotten a report about it. von Karma: As I didn't, I could not have known that this picture was of any value to this case. Judge: Hmm, I see... Phoenix: (She's lying through her teeth! I know it!) Phoenix: (That woman knew about everything! The bullet hole, the picture -- everything!) Mia: But you can't prove that. Mia: Franziska von Karma's idea of a "perfect case" is quite fascinating, don't you think? von Karma: Your Honor. You need not worry. von Karma: If you must assign a penalty, I'll personally make sure that detective gets what's coming. von Karma: I'm sure there will be a great gnashing of teeth at the next salary discussion. Phoenix: (Poor Gumshoe...) Judge: In any case, this is a very big problem! Judge: When the defendant was taken into custody, her costume had a bullet hole in its sleeve. Judge: However, from this photo, it would appear that right after the shooting, there was none! von Karma: ... Mia: The judge is confused by this strange twist of events. Mia: This is your chance, Phoenix! Load all you've got into this one shot, alright!? Phoenix: Got it! (Watch this, Maya!) Phoenix: Your Honor! Phoenix: There is only one logical explanation for the contradiction! xxx This picture is a fake. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x The fact that the defendant's x costume has a bullet hole in x its sleeve is a fact! x x Phoenix: x Which can only mean one thing. x x Phoenix: x That this picture is a fake! x x Judge: x Wh-What!? x x Lotta: x Hey! x x Lotta: x You callin' me a forger now!? x x Phoenix: x Well, no, not you exactly... x Well, not per se... x x Lotta: x Oh no ya don't!

Phoenix: However, this person clearly does not. Phoenix: There can be only one explanation. Phoenix: The person who shot Dr. Grey was not the defendant, but a different person altogether! von Karma: Wha-Whaaaat!? Judge: Order! Order! Order! Judge: If order is not restored, I will suspend this trial! Judge: Oww! Phoenix: Aah! Lotta: Why me!? von Karma: The defense's... The defense's argument is a complete mess! Phoenix: A complete mess? I fail to see how! Please, enlighten us. von Karma: Hey, witness! Lotta: Aah! Lotta: What the heck!? Is that any way to ask a gal a favor!? von Karma: Be quiet you! von Karma: You were the one who said it was only the two of them when you entered the room! Lotta: Well, ya know... von Karma: If you were lying, I swear that my whip will be the last thing you see! Lotta: L-Look, sis... You're lookin' mighty scary so why don't we say you... Lotta: Waah! Lotta: I-I swear! I wasn't lyin' or nothin'! Lotta: There wasn't anyone else in there! Honest! von Karma: You see! Now riddle me this, Mr. Phoenix Wright!? von Karma: Where did the defendant vanish to!? von Karma: And where did this other woman appear from!? Phoenix: Umm... (Why is it lately, all I want to do is cry...?) Judge: Well, if the person in this picture is not the defendant, Judge: then this poses 2 very big questions. Judge: First, where did the defendant vanish to, and second, where did this person come from? von Karma: That's right! Now hurry up and answer, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Mia: Come on! You can't fall apart here, Phoenix Wright! Phoenix: (I can't believe that even Mia's calling me by my full name...) Phoenix: (But... I mean... How am I supposed to prove something like this!?) von Karma: Had enough yet, Mr. Phoenix Wright? von Karma: Or do you think you have enough in you to turn things around even now!? Phoenix: (To "turn things around"...) Phoenix: (That's right. Mia would always turn things around and change her perspective!) Mia: Phoenix...? Phoenix: (So, where did this intruder appear from, and where did Maya disappear to?) Phoenix: (I need to look at this situation from a different angle!) Phoenix: (Let's see...) Phoenix: (What if before we broke in, the third person was already in the room...) Phoenix: (And what if Maya had left that room somehow...) Phoenix: (If I could prove that either one of those conditions were true...) Judge: Mr. Wright. Let's hear what you've come up with. Phoenix: I think what happened before we forced our way into the Channeling Chamber is... *** a 3rd person had entered it. *********** * * Phoenix: * Your Honor!

Do you remember this key? Lotta: Um... Well, I've seen it... Hey! That's the Channeling Chamber key, right? Lotta: Before the channeling started, Maya locked the door from the inside with that... von Karma: The defendant herself locked the door...? Lotta: Yeah! That's why we all couldn't get the door open. Lotta: That key's the only one of its kind, after all. Judge: Oh... One of a kind, you say? von Karma: ...! von Karma: Wait... Mr. Phoenix Wright... Phoenix: Yes? (It looks like she's catching on...) von Karma: I'm afraid to ask, but... von Karma: Why is that key currently in your possession? Judge: Huh? What do you mean? Phoenix: If Maya Fey locked herself in, then the key should have been with her. Judge: Yes, agreed. Phoenix: However, she did not have the key at the time of her arrest! Lotta: Aah! Well, ain't that a kick! Lotta: So how come you're holdin' it!? Phoenix: I got this as a present from a certain little girl. Phoenix: And that little girl was nowhere near the crime scene at the time! von Karma: Th-Th-That's preposterous! Phoenix: This means that Maya Fey must have left the room! Phoenix: If she had not, then I would not be holding this key you see before you! von Karma: N-Nooooooo! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge: It seems we have come to an impasse. Judge: This picture has clearly captured the face of the murderer. Judge: However, is this person the defendant or not? Judge: The defense is arguing that this person is not the defendant. Judge: Furthermore, as proof, this key has been submitted as evidence. Judge: Ms. von Karma. von Karma: How. Can. This. Be!? Judge: At this point in time, a verdict on the defendant is not possible. von Karma: My perfect case! How is there a flaw in my perfect case! von Karma: Don't think you've won yet, Mr. Phoenix Wright! von Karma: I am a prodigy! I have never lost a case! von Karma: And I don't intend to lose here in this courtroom to a fool like you! von Karma: I don't care what I have to do... I will get my guilty verdict! Judge: That's enough! If you would like to continue, do so in the lobby. Judge: Court will reconvene tomorrow at 10 AM. Judge: That is all. Court is adjourned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 21, 1:32 PM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Maya: Woooow! That was you Pearly!? You summoned my sis!? Pearl: Yes. I felt I had no choice... Maya: Great going, Pearly! I knew you were special! Hey, Nick, did you know? Phoenix: (...Umm, yeah. It's not like anyone else in there could have done that.) Maya: Hmm, Nick... Maya: I know you're trying really hard and all, but... Maya: I really don't remember ever leaving that room. Pearl: And I don't think that a third person... Pearl: could have gone into that room. Phoenix: Y-Yeah... Phoenix: Well, at least we have until tomorrow to figure things out. Phoenix: Like, what happened in that room, for instance. Maya: Yeah. I'm counting on you! Pearl: Ah... I envy the two of you... Maya: Oh, by the way, Nick. Maya: Do you think you could take Pearly back home for me? Phoenix: Sure. Phoenix: Alright, Pearls. You ready to go buy some tickets? Pearl: Huh? A tik-ket? Phoenix: (Poor thing... So sheltered.)

Phoenix: And this is what Maya told me. -------------------------------------------- "While I was channeling, the key was sitting inside my sleeve." And both this key and the piece of cloth were found inside the incinerator. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: Which means that this piece of cloth was a part of Maya's costume. Mia: It would certainly seem that way... Phoenix: Someone changed her into a different set of clothes. Phoenix: And then, burned the costume she was wearing in the incinerator.

Maya: I mean, she's been in Germany all this time all by herself, and she's so grown up! Phoenix: ...Yeah, and I'm sure she felt a lot of pressure from her father's reputation. Maya: ...And then you look at me, and, well... Maya: I'm the daughter of the Master, but I'm still just a little girl. Maya: And on top of that, I'm the suspect in a murder trial. Phoenix: (Um... But I think you're really strong too, Maya, for all you've gone through...) Pearl: Good morning! Pearl: The two of you look like you're doing well today. I'm happy for you! Maya: Hey!

I look forward to tonight's news with great joy. von Karma: The image of your defeated face will be transmitted all over the world! Mia: All over the world, huh? Sounds like you've made quite a name for yourself, Phoenix. von Karma: Don't be foolish, you foolish fool wearing the foolishly foolish clothes. von Karma: The famous one is me! von Karma: I'm the prodigy who has never lost a case since becoming a prosecutor five years ago. von Karma: Naturally, the world's eyes are on me, as I conduct my first trial in this country! Mia: Uh, huh... That's nice, Ms. von Karma. von Karma: Hmph. Glad to see you're in such good "spirits" today, Ms. Fey. Phoenix: (Uhh... It's true what they say... Women really are scary when they fight... *gulp*) Judge: Now then. A very interesting theory was presented during yesterday's session. von Karma: That the defendant could have left the Channeling Chamber, correct? Judge: Yes. And this key is proof of that. Judge: This key, the only key to the Channeling Chamber, was not where it should have been. von Karma: Your Honor, I would like to say one thing before we begin. Judge: A-Alright... Let's hear it. von Karma: The prosecution has determined that from the time of the murder to the time of arrest, von Karma: the defendant did indeed leave the room at one point. Phoenix: Wh-What!? Judge: But... Ms. von Karma! Judge: Then... How do you explain this picture? Judge: Are you saying then, that the person in this picture is not the defendant...? von Karma: I never said that wasn't the defendant. Judge: Th-Then what is the meaning of this...? von Karma: All I am saying is that Maya Fey, after killing the victim, exited the room. von Karma: And I believe that is when she dropped this key. Judge: Can you substantiate your claim? von Karma: Isn't that what I'm here for? von Karma: The prosecution would like to call the defendant's aunt, Morgan Fey, to the stand. Mia: ...Just as I suspected. Aunt Morgan... Phoenix: (Poor Mia... She seems really torn by this...) -------------------------------------------- von Karma: Witness. Name and occupation. Morgan: My name is Morgan Fey, and I am a spirit medium, in a manner of speaking... Judge: I'm sorry, but what do you mean, "in a manner of speaking"...? Judge: Aaah! von Karma: I don't think anyone really cares. von Karma: Now then, after the murder took place, you kept watch over the defendant, correct? Morgan: Yes, that is correct. Morgan: I performed the Spirit Severing Technique on Mystic Maya then. Judge: S-Spirit Severing Technique? Morgan: A technique to remove a spirit from a body and send it back to the other world. That is... Judge: Yes...? That is...? Judge: Mmfph! von Karma: You. Be quiet. von Karma: Now, witness. von Karma: Something happened while you were performing this technique, correct? Morgan: ...Yes, that is correct. Phoenix: Wh-What in the world could've...!? Morgan: Mystic Maya... She escaped from the room... Judge: Wh-What!? von Karma: And here we come to the heart of the matter. von Karma: Maya Fey, while in a possessed state, managed to escape from the Channeling Chamber! Judge: Order! Order! Order! Judge: Ms. Fey! Please testify to this court what happened during that time! Morgan: Your Honor, I will try my best... Mia: I think someone just upped the ante on this trial... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Maya's Escape -- (1) Morgan: After we heard the gunshots, those two broke the door open and entered the Chamber. (2) Morgan: I requested that Mr. Wright and the other lady please contact the police. (3) Morgan: A pistol was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze... (4) Morgan: Then, quite suddenly, she thrusted me away from herself and escaped from the room. (5) Morgan: With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while... (6) Morgan: I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: Why have you hidden this until now!? Morgan: I... I did not wish to cause more trouble for Mystic Maya. Morgan: However... I must correct falsities when they arise. von Karma: That's right. She is simply correcting a falsity, Mr. Phoenix Wright. Phoenix: (Why is she making it a point to take a stab at me... Never mind.) Judge: Mr. Wright, your cross- examination, please. Mia: My aunt is a very smart and sly person. Mia: It's going to be hard for us to find a crack in her testimony... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Maya's Escape -- (1) Morgan: After we heard the gunshots, those two broke the door open and entered the Chamber. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Just now, you said, "those two." Who were the two people you were referring to? Morgan: I was referring to that foreign lady and yourself, good sir. Phoenix: Um, Lotta's not a foreigner... despite how she talks... Morgan: Oh, is that so? Morgan: I'm sorry... Morgan: I simply could not understand her atrocious English, not to mention she looked awful! Phoenix: (I can already see people in the heartland gearing up for a riot...) Morgan: In any case, I have already sent the repair bill to your office, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Oh, uh, thanks. Judge: Hmm... What did you do after that, Ms. Fey? (2) Morgan: I requested that Mr. Wright and the other lady please contact the police. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was it really necessary to have two people do something so simple as call the police? Phoenix: If there was a possibility of escape, then one of us should have stayed behind! Judge: Hmm, yes. That is a very good point. Morgan: At that time, I, myself, was a little confused. Morgan: On top of which, there was another... Judge: Another what, madam? Morgan: Oh, it's nothing. No need to concern yourself. Phoenix: (I want to hear the end of that sentence...) *** Question further *********************** * * Phoenix: * There was another reason * you wanted both of us out * of that room, wasn't there!? * * Morgan: * ... * * Phoenix: * You must testify! * Why did you chase us out * of the room!? * * Morgan: * ...I simply did not wish for * there to be more victims. * * Phoenix: * ...! * * Morgan: * "The lives of both the good * sir and that camera woman * may be in danger..." * * Morgan: * is what I thought to myself. * * Judge: * Well, that was very noble * of you, Ms. Fey. * * Phoenix: * (This is bad... Now people * have a good impression of * her and a bad one of us...) * * Mia: * Looks like she caught us * napping. * That's my aunt for you... * * Judge: * Are you satisfied now, * Mr. Wright? * Ms. Fey, please continue. * ******************************************** *** Leave her be *************************** * * Phoenix: * (The last bit of her sentence * sounds like a red herring...) * * Phoenix: * (If that's the case, I'm not * going to fall into her trap * today.) * * Judge: * If the defense has no further * questions, let us press on. * ******************************************** (3) Morgan: A pistol was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: During our investigation, you stated that you struck the defendant on the head, Phoenix: and this strike caused Maya to lose conciousness. Do you stand by this statement? Morgan: I'm afraid I don't. The statement I gave you was a lie... Phoenix: ...! Phoenix: B-But why would you lie about something like that!? Morgan: It is very painful for me to say this, however... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: The witness was lying to cover for the defendant. Phoenix: (She was... covering for Maya...?) *** Question further *********************** * * Phoenix: * So, you were "covering for * the defendant"!? * * Morgan: * Well, yes... It was only later * that I was informed of what * had occurred. * * Morgan: * That the renegade Mystic * Maya had done something * very unexpected... * * Judge: * S-Something unexpected!? * What, pray tell, did sh-- * * Judge: * Oogh! * * von Karma: * This witness didn't and * couldn't have seen what * happened. * * von Karma: * If you want to know what this * unexpected thing was, there * is always later. * * Judge: * Y-Yes, very well... * * Phoenix: * (Ugh... Why does it suddenly * feel like there's a rock in * the pit of my stomach...?) * * von Karma: * Now, witness, continue with * what happened. * ******************************************** *** Leave her be *************************** * * Phoenix: * (I'm sure Von Karma's allowing * this testimony because it's * advantageous to her...) * * Phoenix: * (...Which means I shouldn't * press Morgan any further...) * * von Karma: * You're finally beginning to * understand, aren't you, * Mr. Phoenix Wright... * * von Karma: * Now, witness, continue with * what happened. * ******************************************** (4) Morgan: Then, quite suddenly, she thrusted me away from herself and escaped from the room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was it really that easy for her to escape from you? Morgan: I'm ashamed to admit to such a thing, however, yes... Phoenix: But you are physically larger and stronger than the defendant. Phoenix: There is no way she could have escaped from you so easily... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: Have you forgotten already, Mr. Phoenix Wright? What about this picture!? von Karma: Remember that at the time, the defendant was not physically "Maya Fey". Phoenix: ...Ack! Judge: Hmm... Growing old is such a mysterious thing. Trust me, I know first-hand. Morgan: Basically, Mystic Maya's body was still that of the nurse she had called. Phoenix: But if she had run away, wouldn't you have given chase right away!? Morgan: Well, yes, I would have... however... (5) Morgan: With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You fainted...? Morgan: I became dizzy, and then collapsed onto the floor. Judge: How long were you unconscious? Morgan: I... I'm not sure. About ten minutes, perhaps. Judge: Hmm... Judge: And the defendant almost certainly went somewhere in that time... von Karma: Happy? Witness, elaborate on that point for us. (6) Morgan: I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Is that because you were unconscious? Morgan: Why, yes... Phoenix: (Great, well, now what...?) *** Question further *********************** * * Phoenix: * So while you were unconscious, * you have absolutely no idea * where the defendant went? * * Morgan: * I would think that's obvious, * good sir. * * Phoenix: * If that's true... * * Phoenix: * then how can you know for sure * that the defendant left the * Channeling Chamber at all!? * * Judge: * Now that you mention it... * I have to wonder myself! * * von Karma: * It's true that this witness * is not able to confirm this. * * von Karma: * But the key word here is * "this" witness. * * Phoenix: * What do you mean by that!? * * Mia: * It means she has another * witness up her sleeve. * That's what. * * Mia: * It looks like Ms. von Karma * is ready to move on to her * next witness. * ******************************************** *** Leave her be *************************** * * Phoenix: * (If she fainted, then there's * no way she can testify * any more than she has...) * * Phoenix: * (If I press her, I'm not going * to get anything useful * anyway...) * * Judge: * Hmm... * Well, then... * * Judge: * Let's continue on with the * testimony, shall we? * ******************************************** -------------------------------------------- Mia: I can't see a crack in her testimony... Phoenix: Wh-What should we do...? Mia: For now, we should try and get more information out of her. Mia: After we get more information from her we may be able to use it later to our advantage. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at (2), (3), (4) and (6)* Judge: That's enough! Judge: From what I can tell, there is nothing wrong with this witness' testimony. Judge: And from what she has said, we can establish that Maya Fey did leave the Chamber. Phoenix: (Hmm... I hope this isn't going to come back and bite us in the butt...) von Karma: Now, let's take the next logical step and ask, von Karma: "Where did the defendant go after leaving the Channeling Chamber?" Judge: Yes, yes... That is exactly what we should b-- Judge: Eeek! von Karma: Be quiet, you! von Karma: Now then, what the escapee had done was she had gone to speak with a certain person! Phoenix: She... She went to speak with someone!? Judge: Wh-Who was it!? von Karma: The prosecution calls Ms. Ini Miney, who was sleeping in the Side Room at the time. Phoenix: I-Ini Miney...? Mia: I think you can see where this is headed... -------------------------------------------- von Karma: Witness. Name and occupation. Ini: Um... OK, so my name is, like, Ini Miney. Ini: I'm, like, researching, like, parapsychology stuff at the, um, university. Judge: What is this "parapsychology"? Ini: Um... Let's see... It's, like, I guess, most people call it "occult stuff". Judge: Even if that's what most people call it, I can't say I understand what that means... von Karma: Then I suggest you go home and research it yourself. Judge: Yes, sir. von Karma: Now then, Ms. Miney, von Karma: after the murder took place, you spoke with the defendant, Maya Fey. von Karma: Is this correct? Ini: Um... Well... Hmm... Like, I guess... von Karma: If that's the case, then let's hear your testimony. von Karma: That IS alright, isn't it, Your Honor? Judge: Yes, sir. Phoenix: (For the love of all things good, Your Honor, have some spine... For my sake...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- After the Murder -- (1) Ini: Like, when the channeling started, I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room. (2) Ini: Like, a little later, someone came into the room, like, really suddenly. (3) Ini: It was, like, oh my gawd, totally my sister! (4) Ini: I, like, hadn't seen her in like, so long... I was so happy in, like, a sad way... (5) Ini: My sister... She, like, told me something, like, totally terrible. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Now hold your horses, young lady! You're saying the person that entered was your sister!? Judge: Don't you mean the defendant, Maya Fey...? von Karma: Really, now... Your Honor. von Karma: Maya Fey was still in the middle of channeling at that time. Judge: A-Are you saying that the spirit was the spirit of this witness' sister!? von Karma: Yes, Mimi Miney. She was a nurse at Dr. Grey's clinic. Judge: Oh... W-Well... This is... von Karma: Witness. Ini: Like, yeah? von Karma: In your testimony, you mentioned a "terrible" thing. von Karma: Why don't you tell the court what this terrible thing was? von Karma: I'm sure we'd love to hear about it. Ini: ...Um, like... Do I totally, like, really have to? von Karma: Of course. Judge: Ms. Miney... please. Ini: ... Ini: My sister... Like, this is what she said to me. -------------------------------------------- That was... no accident... I was drugged... with sleeping pills... I was murdered... by that person... That's why... I took... my revenge... It's only fair... Isn't it... ...Ini? -------------------------------------------- Judge: She "took her revenge?" Judge: Are you sure that's what she said? Ini: Y-Yes... von Karma: There, are you satisfied, Your Honor? Judge: ...I still can't believe it. Judge: I can't believe that a spirit would go so far as to use a medium to get revenge... von Karma: It is a bit hard to swallow, von Karma: however, all the evidence and testimonies point to this as the truth! von Karma: ...The end. Judge: ...What do you think, Mr. Wright? Judge: It certainly seems like all the loose ends are accounted for... Phoenix: (This...) Phoenix: (This testimony just now... Was it all made up? Was it just one huge lie...?) Mia: Of course it was, Phoenix. Phoenix: ...Mia! What do you mean? Mia: It's well constructed... but that's all it is. Mia: But even the most well-spun lies can be undone. Mia: We can do it, Phoenix. Let's find that one loose thread and unwind this tapestry of lies. Phoenix: Your Honor! There is room for doubt, so the defense will cross-examine this witness. Phoenix: We believe that our cross- examination will reveal the real truth behind this murder! von Karma: Yet again the foolish fool spouts out more foolishly foolish drabble... von Karma: I wonder if you'll make this one more entertaining than the last... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- After the Murder -- (1) Ini: Like, when the channeling started, I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was that because of your, um... sesame allergy, was it? Ini: Like, that's right. Ini: I, like, think there were sesame seeds, like, in the lunch they served that day. Ini: I had this, like, premonition that it was going to totally be a "seedy" day. von Karma: Yes, indeed. Judge: Hmm... I see... Phoenix: (...Am I the only one who missed the boat here...?) Judge: Anyway, so you were taking a nap. Did something happen while you were sleeping? (2) Ini: Like, a little later, someone came into the room, like, really suddenly. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Do you know the time? Ini: Um, uh... Like, maybe a little before 11 AM? Something like that, I think... Phoenix: E-Eleven AM...? Ini: Yeah. Like, my stomach is totally ready for, like, food. Phoenix: ... Phoenix: Ah, no... I think you misunderstood me... I'm not asking what time it is now... Phoenix: I meant what time was it when the "someone" came into your room! Ini: Oh! So, like, that's what you meant! Like, you shoulda been more, like, clear about it! Phoenix: S-Sorry. My bad. Ini: No, it's OK. Like, it's really... Phoenix: ... Ini: ...? Phoenix: ...That's it? Why'd you stop mid-sentence!? Ini: Did I? ...So, like... what was I talking about again...? Phoenix: ... N-Never mind... von Karma: ...Witness. About this person who entered the Side Room... (3) Ini: It was, like, oh my gawd, totally my sister! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you absolutely sure? Ini: ...I guess? Phoenix: You "guess"...? Phoenix: Was it or was it not your sister who entered? Ini: Like, I don't know. Ini: I mean, like, I totally don't know "your sister" at all, Mr. Smith. Phoenix: (First off, my name is not Mr. Smith. Second, I'm an only child.) Phoenix: (...Hmm, but more than that, she's managed to mess up the question with her answer...) Judge: Well, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: Th-The defense rests... von Karma: Well, that was a colossal waste of our time! von Karma: Now then, witness. How did you feel when you saw Ms. Mimi Miney? (4) Ini: I, like, hadn't seen her in, like, so long... I was so happy in, like, a sad way... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You were... happy in a sad way...? Ini: Yeah, like, I mean, it was my sister! Phoenix: But wouldn't most people react here with surprise at seeing a dead loved one alive again? Ini: Um, but, like, maybe if I was, like, someone who didn't know about, like, the occult. Ini: But I, like, know all about the Kurain Channeling Technique. von Karma: The point here, is the witness immediately recognized that it was her "sister". Ini: Yeah, like, what she said. Phoenix: (Hmm... Should I drop this line of questioning...?) *** Question further *********************** * * Phoenix: * So you really didn't think * anything "strange" of the * whole encounter? * * Ini: * No. * * Ini: * Like, there wasn't any reason * for me to, like, think * anything was "strange". * * Phoenix: * But... * * Phoenix: * OWW! * * von Karma: * Don't keep badgering her. * * Phoenix: * ...You know the phrase, * "Objection!"? Could you try * using that once in a while...? * * Judge: * Hmm... Mr. Wright. * * Judge: * This question of what the * witness felt when she saw * her sister... * * Judge: * is it really that important? * * *** Oh, it's nothing. ********************** * * * * Phoenix: * * "Is it really that important?" * * Let me ask you: Is it really * * that important for you to ask? * * * * Judge: * * Of course it's very important. * * * * Phoenix: * * Well, I don't think it's that * * important at all! * * * * Phoenix: * * Yeow! * * * * von Karma: * * Stop spewing such nonsensical * * things then. * * * * von Karma: * * Pay no attention to this twit * * and continue, witness. * * * * Ini: * * Like, OK. * * * ******************************************** * * *** It is very important. ****************** * * * * Phoenix: * * It is very important! * * (Although I haven't quite * * figured out what "it" is yet.) * * * * Phoenix: * * (But I've got to bluff for now * * and make it seem like I know * * what I'm talking about...) * * * * Judge: * * Alright, Mr. Wright. * * Ms. Miney, please amend your * * testimony. * * * * Ini: * * Like, OK. * * I'm, like, totally cool with * * that. * * * * CHANGE (4) TO (4b) * * * ******************************************** * ******************************************** *** Leave her be *************************** * * Phoenix: * (There's no need to press her * over something this minor...) * * Phoenix: * (I should be trying to find * a more decisive problem * with her testimony...) * * Ini: * So, like, is it OK? * I'm going to, like, finish my * story, OK? * ******************************************** (4b) Ini: I wasn't, like, scared at all. And, like, her costume looked totally, like, normal. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, there was nothing odd at all about your sister's appearance? Ini: Like, yeah. Nothing was, like, weird. Phoenix: (...Hmm...) Mia: ... Phoenix: (Hm? ...Mia's talking to herself like she's found something wrong...) Mia: ...That's impossible... Phoenix: (...?) Ini: Like, is everything OK? Can I, like, go on...? (5) Ini: My sister... She, like, told me something, like, totally terrible. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Something "terrible"? What was this thing she told you? Ini: Huh? Like, didn't I just, like, tell you about it? Ini: Did you, like, forget already? von Karma: A foolish fool with a foolish sieve for a brain only speaks foolishly with foolish words. Phoenix: (Well, excuuuse me, Princess. ...Anyway, should I ask to hear the story again...?) *** Don't bother asking ******************** * * Phoenix: * (I did just hear this story. * It's not like my memory is * that bad...) * * Phoenix: * Actually, the defense is fine * and does not need to hear * the story again. * * Judge: * Very well. * You may continue your * testimony, Ms. Miney. * ******************************************** *** Ask to hear it again ******************* * * Phoenix: * I'm sorry, but could I hear * the story one more time? * * Ini: * Like, sure, no problem. * I'll even, like, tell it all * spooky-like for you. * * ------------------------------------------ * * That was... no accident... * * I was drugged... * with sleeping pills... * * I was murdered... * by that person... * * That's why... * I took... * my revenge... * * It's only fair... * Isn't it... * ...Ini? * * ------------------------------------------ * * Ini: * ...Like, how was that? * * Judge: * It was a little scary... * * Ini: * Like, I'm sorry. * Maybe I, like, put too much * spookiness into it...? * ******************************************** -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (I know there has to be something here I can use... But where!?) Mia: She really put a lot of thought into this lie, didn't she? Mia: We can't rush this. Let's take it slowly, one step at a time. Mia: She's bound to slip up somewhere. Mia: Don't give up. But don't get careless, OK? Remember, calm and collected. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Maya's Costume or Lotta's Photo 2* at (4b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: That was a very well-spun lie, Ms. Ini. Ini: ...! von Karma: Wh-What are you babbling about this time, Mr. Phoenix Wright!? Phoenix: It's well constructed... but that's all it is. Mia: Stealing MY lines now, are we, Phoenix? Phoenix: Ms. Miney, may I remind you of what you said? Phoenix: You said that there was nothing strange about your sister's appearance. Ini: L-Like, yeah... And...? Phoenix: But I don't really think you thought that at all. Take a look at this picture. Phoenix: This is a picture of the "sister" you met. Phoenix: I would think that even you would be surprised if someone like this appeared before you. von Karma: ... The blood spray... Phoenix: Ms. Miney! Phoenix: Why did you not include the blood you saw in your testimony!? Phoenix: If you were really testifying, and not lying, you would have noted it right off the bat! Ini: Ummm...! Judge: Order! Order! Ms. Miney! What is the meaning of this!? Ini: ... Judge: ...Ms. Miney? Ini: I'm thinking! Don't interrupt me! Judge: ...Um, that... Judge: Eep! von Karma: And what are you stammering about, Your Honor...? Judge: Um, uh... Well... I... I uhh... Mia: That witness... Her personality did a complete 180 there. Phoenix: Lots of people do that when they get on the stand, though. Mia: ... von Karma: First of all, calm yourself down, witness. Ini: ... Ini: Like, I'm sorry. I, like, didn't mean to snap... von Karma: Now, hurry up with the testimony. Judge: I-If you please... Phoenix: (Ugh... The judge still looks a little shaken up... A lot of help he's going to be...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- After the Murder, Pt.2 -- (1) Ini: Like, the Side Room was, like, kinda dark, you know? (2) Ini: So like, the costume is, like, purple, right? The blood totally blended right in. (3) Ini: And I, like, persuaded my sister it wasn't, like, right to do something like that. (4) Ini: And then... like, I took my sister to the Channeling Chamber. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Yes, now I see. Judge: And you have given us a clear reason for why you didn't notice the blood. Ini: You think? Like, thanks, gramps! Judge: Are you satisfied, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: ... Judge: Alright, I guess not... Judge: Very well. You may question the witness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- After the Murder, Pt.2 -- (1) Ini: Like, the Side Room was, like, kinda dark, you know? Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Really? Because I thought it was pretty bright inside that room. von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: Don't push your subjective opinions onto this court. Ini: Like, that's right! Phoenix: Um, excuse me, but how is my statement any more subjective than Ms. Miney's? von Karma: You are such a hopeless cause. Witness, you may feel free to ignore this trite little man. Ini: Like, OK. Phoenix: (Uuugh... Can't breathe... Let me outta here...) (2) Ini: So like, the costume is, like, purple, right? The blood totally blended right in. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You... didn't see the blood...? Ini: Like, yeah. Phoenix: But she must have had the gun with her at that time as well. Ini: ...! That's um... Phoenix: Are you going to tell me next that you didn't notice the gun either!? Ini: I, like, totally didn't. All I was looking at was, like, her face... Judge: Hmm... von Karma: ... Continue. (3) Ini: And I, like, persuaded my sister it wasn't, like, right to do something like that. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And what was your sister, Ms. Mimi Miney, like at the time? Ini: Well, she was, like, totally flipped out 'cause she just shot Dr. Grey... Ini: But, I think, like, she knew. She, like, said she did something really bad. Ini: And, like, she said she wanted to go with me to, like, apologize to Ms. Morgan. Phoenix: Did Mimi's spirit really say all that to you...? Ini: Like, yeah... (4) Ini: And then... like, I took my sister to the Channeling Chamber. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was your sister calm by that time? Ini: Like, I guess so... Ini: I guess maybe, like, taking her revenge on Dr. Grey, like, made her feel a lot better... von Karma: I'd like to feel a lot better too... Mr. Phoenix Wright. The sooner the better... Phoenix: (She says with her whip at the ready...) Ini: And, like, Ms. Morgan was the only one in the Channeling Chamber, you know? Phoenix: May I ask you one more thing, Ms. Miney? Ini: Like, sure. Phoenix: Was there anything you found strange, unusual, or just out of place? Ini: Something out of place? Huh? Like, when do you mean? Phoenix: Uh, when...? Um...

Phoenix: We had gone to call the police. Ini: ...S-So? Like, what does that, like, have to do with anything!? Phoenix: It's very simple. Phoenix: Ms. Miney, how did you know that fact? Ini: ...H-How...? Phoenix: I concede that Ms. Fey was the only person in the Channeling Chamber. Phoenix: However, someone who was "asleep" in the Side Room could not have known that! Ini: ...!

Phoenix: At the time of the shooting, the clothing box was sitting behind the folding screen. Phoenix: Which is why the bullet from the pistol hit both the box and the folding screen!

Ini: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: I think this is what really happened. Phoenix: The murderer had planted herself at the scene of the crime long beforehand. Phoenix: Dressed in a medium's costume and wearing a wig, she pretended to be the defendant. Phoenix: And then, the channeling started. Phoenix: The murderer crept silently towards the other two, both of whom had their eyes closed. Phoenix: ...First, she drugged Maya Fey with a strong sleeping agent. Phoenix: Then, she stabbed Dr. Grey with the knife! Phoenix: Next, she hid my client inside the clothing box... Phoenix: She did that so she could take Maya's place and frame her for the crime. Mia: ...But that's when something unexpected happened. Judge: Unexpected...? Phoenix: Yes. *bang!* Phoenix: Dr. Grey was actually not yet dead! Phoenix: With the last of his strength, he fired a shot at his attacker! Phoenix: And that is why the hole in the folding screen was so low to the ground! Phoenix: The murderer then took the gun from Dr. Grey, and... *bang!* -------------------------------------------- Judge: After that, you and the other lady thought to break into the room...? Phoenix: Yes, a gunshot is certainly something you wouldn't expect to hear. Phoenix: Which is why, upon hearing the shots, we forced our way into the Channeling Chamber. *klik!* Phoenix: Ms. Miney... She immediately covered her own costume with blood... *klik!* Phoenix: And pretended to be Maya Fey. von Karma: B-But! That sort of deception would have been easy to see through! Phoenix: Which is precisely why Ms. Morgan Fey chased us out. -------------------------------------------- Morgan: Please leave this area to me. Morgan: Go quickly and inform the police! Morgan: Hurry! Before there are more victims here! -------------------------------------------- Judge: Wh-What is one supposed to say...? Phoenix: This is the real truth behind this murder. ...Ha... ...Ahahahaha... Judge: Wh-Who is that!? Laughing at a time like this...!? Judge: Ack! von Karma: Oh, you simpleminded fools. I'm sorry, are you still by chance, evolving? Phoenix: Wh-What is it this time...? Judge: M-Ms. von Karma... Surely... von Karma: Of course it was me! von Karma: Do you really think someone of Von Karma blood would lose due to something this petty?

Phoenix: And that is...? von Karma: If this witness is the real murderer... von Karma: why would she go through all this trouble?

Judge: I think we have our answer, Mr. Phoenix Wright. Judge: What Ms. Miney has stated is very true. Judge: The revenge plan is overly complicated, and she has no motive in the first place. Judge: Furthermore, there is no reason for Ms. Morgan Fey to cooperate with this plan. Judge: You don't even have any truly decisive pieces of evidence to demonstrate your point. von Karma: Tsk, tsk. So many faults, Mr. Phoenix Wright. You should really learn your place. Phoenix: Nnghuuurk! Phoenix: (Wh-What happened!? I thought I had her for sure!...) Ini: Hee hee...

Mia: That's right, Phoenix! Only you can do this now! Phoenix: I will show and substantiate the fact that Ms. Miney had a motive! Ini: Ha ha ha. Too bad. You're too late! Ini: My cross-examination has already ended, after all. Ini: Eeek! von Karma: ...Interesting. von Karma: I'll let you have your chance, Mr. Phoenix Wright. Ini: Wh-What!? Y-You're supposed to be on my side! Ini: Aiiiii! von Karma: A Von Karma only cares about the perfect win. von Karma: As long as you have the will to fight, I will knock you down, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Phoenix: ... von Karma: And I don't care if you are my witness! So help me, I will blow you out of my way! Ini: N-No way... Judge: Very well. Judge: The court will take a 5 minute recess. Judge: We will continue the cross- examination after we reconvene. Ini: H-Hey! W-Wait a sec, here To be continued. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 4-2: Trial [0426] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� June 22, 12:04 PM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Maya: ...Is it really true... about my aunt...? Phoenix: I'm afraid so, Maya. There is no way Ini could've killed Dr. Grey by herself. Phoenix: And under the circumstances, there's no one else other than your aunt, Morgan. Maya: That... That's terrible... Why? Why would my aunt...? Everything is going just as I predicted, Mr. Phoenix Wright. von Karma: Ack! Ms. von Karma! Maya: Why are you doing this!? Why are you trying to take revenge on Nick!? Maya: Nick had nothing to do with what happened to your dad. von Karma: Don't you have something better to be worrying about? von Karma: Say, your own situation? Maya: Ugnn... ...Looking down on me, even though we're the same age... Phoenix: Are you done yet? You've cause me enough pain and suffering. von Karma: Not yet. von Karma: My goal is to defeat you, and let the whole world know of your defeat. Phoenix: ...But even if you do that, it won't bring your father back... von Karma: ... von Karma: Hmph. ...Whatever. von Karma: In the meantime, let's bring this match to its conclusion. von Karma: And then we'll know who the real winner is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 22, 12:10 PM District Court Courtroom No. 2 Judge: Court will now reconvene. Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor? Judge: Can you prove Ms. Ini Miney had a motive? Phoenix: Yes, I believe I can. Phoenix: (Ini Miney and Dr. Grey have only one point of connection.) Phoenix: (And that is the car accident one year ago. The motive I'm looking for must be there...) Phoenix: Ms. Miney. Please testify to this court about your car accident last year. Ini: Huh? I thought, like, you wanted to, like, ask about my, like, motive. Ini: I, like, don't see the point in, like, bringing up the past. Judge: Ms. Miney, if you please. Ini: ...OK, OK. Like, I totally don't think it'll do any good, but... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Last Year's Accident -- (1) Ini: That was... like, last year, in May. (2) Ini: Like, something really bad had happened at, like, my sister's clinic around then... (3) Ini: And like, the night of the accident, my sis was totally tired while she was driving. (4) Ini: I was, like, totally pooped too, so I, like, fell asleep in the passenger's seat... (5) Ini: I, like, woke up 'cause of a jolt, and, like, it was a sea of flames around me. (6) Ini: I, like, opened the door and, like, got away. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... I think I've heard of this incident. Phoenix: It was all the talk on the tabloid shows, day after day, last year. Judge: Yes, and there was talk about Dr. Grey... drugging your sister...? Judge: Gwuugh! von Karma: Those were merely "rumors". ...Totally baseless gossip. Judge: Hmm, yes... Mr. Wright, you may question the witness. Mia: Right now, it's impossible to prove Mia: that Dr. Grey did in fact drug Ms. Miney's sister. Phoenix: Yeah... Which means I'll have to work this from another angle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Last Year's Accident -- (1) Ini: That was... like, last year, in May. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Didn't some sort of medical malpractice happen at your sister's hospital then...? Ini: Yeah, like, that was in May too. Ini: Like, the thing with all the patients dying was, like, May 2nd, Ini: and like, our accident was, like, on the 24th. Phoenix: Two accidents back to back... Do you assume it's just a coincidence? Ini: My sis was, like, totally tired, so that's why, duh. (2) Ini: Like, something really bad had happened at, like, my sister's clinic around then... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: That was the malpractice incident where 14 patients died, correct? Ini: Yeah. Phoenix: What was the cause of the mistake? Ini: Like, I heard it was 'cause the medicines, like, got mixed up. Phoenix: Was that the fault of your sister, Mimi Miney? Ini: Like, no way. Dr. Grey, like, wanted to blame it on my sis... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: That incident has nothing to do with our murder here. von Karma: Besides, the police report has already documented that it was entirely Mimi Miney's fault. Phoenix: (Which means as far as the "real" facts are concerned...) Phoenix: (Mimi Miney is the one who made the mistake...) Ini: But, like, it really wasn't my sis... (3) Ini: And like, the night of the accident, my sis was totally tired while she was driving. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: She was "totally tired"? You mean, exhausted? Ini: Like, she had to talk to the police, and, like, was being investigated, like, every day. Ini: It was, like, a totally terrible situation. Phoenix: It's no wonder, then, that the car accident happened, huh? *** Press harder *************************** * * Phoenix: * So then, why didn't you ask * to switch places? * * Ini: * Huh? * Like, what are you talking * about? * * Phoenix: * I meant switch drivers. * * Phoenix: * If your sister was so tired, * then you should have switched * with her. * * Judge: * True, true. * * Ini: * Ah, but like... * I don't, like, have a driver's * license... * * von Karma: * This is news to me. I was not * aware you didn't have your * license, Ms. Miney. * * Judge: * Hmm... Ms. Miney, please amend * your testimony. * * Ini: * Like, OK. * Anyway... * * ADD STATEMENT (6b) * ******************************************** *** Leave her be *************************** * * Phoenix: * (There's no point in asking * her about her sister.) * * Phoenix: * (I should be trying to find * out more information about * Ini!) * * Ini: * So, like, can I go on? * ******************************************** (4) Ini: I was, like, totally pooped too, so I, like, fell asleep in the passenger's seat... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The accident happened at night, correct...? Ini: Yeah, like, it was at, like, 1 AM or so, I think. Ini: I had, like, a paper due, like, really soon... Ini: so, like, I hadn't slept and was working, like, real hard. von Karma: So it was because the two of you were so tired that this accident happened. (5) Ini: I, like, woke up 'cause of a jolt, and, like, it was a sea of flames around me. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And your sister? What happened to her? Ini: I... I didn't see her... Ini: The car was, like, totally black, and there was, like, a ton of smoke... Ini: I, like, totally had, like, no clue what was going on. (6) Ini: I, like, opened the door and, like, got away. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Please tell us about your escape in more detail. Ini: I... I, like, kept wanting to forget that time, Ini: so, like, I don't remember things about the accident in, like, details anymore... Judge: Hmm, well, it's alright. No need to push yourself. Ini: I think I, like, gave an interview after the accident. Ini: Like, that would probably be the most accurate, you know? Phoenix: (Hmm, if it's that article, then I've already got it...) (6b) Ini: I, like, didn't have my license, so, like, I couldn't take over driving for her. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And that's why you were in the passenger's seat? Ini: Like, yeah. Ini: I was, like, at my college's research lab 'till, like, really late... Ini: So my sis was, like, giving me a ride home. Phoenix: I see... Mia: Phoenix. Phoenix: Y-Yes? Mia: You can't do this. You're being too easy on her. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (There's got to be some sort of secret sleeping in this testimony...) Mia: Yes, so let's find that one crushing contradiction and end this! RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present License Photo* at (6b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Ms. Miney. That was a lame lie just now. Ini: Like, what do you mean? Phoenix: I know you had a license back then! Phoenix: This is a photo you took for the express purpose of getting a driver's license! Ini: Umm... Judge: What is the meaning of this, Ms. Miney!? Ini: Ah, um... Uh... That's... That's right! Ini: Y-Yeah, I had, like, a license... But... Ini: ... Ini: But I didn't get it until after the accident! Phoenix: No, you had it. Phoenix: You had it at the time of the accident! Phoenix: Director Hotti... or the guy pretending to be him anyway, said so! Ini: What, are you talking about that perverted fake clinic director? Phoenix: Yes, that perverted fake clinic director. And how did you know he was perverted. Phoenix: Eowch! von Karma: No one cares. von Karma: Witness. When did you receive your driver's license? Ini: Like, last November. Phoenix: What? N-N-November...? von Karma: The accident happened last May. That's a half year lapse in time, Mr. Phoenix Wright. Phoenix: Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What in the!? Judge: Th-Th-Th-Th-That's what happened, Mr. Wright! Judge: At the time of the accident, Ms. Miney did not have a driver's license. Phoenix: Uuuuurk... Phoenix: OW! von Karma: Cry, and my whip will accommodate. Judge: Anyway, without a license, the witness and her sister could not have switched drivers. Ini: I'm, like, glad you get it, but... Ini: like, even if I had my license, Ini: I, like, don't think my sis woulda, like, let me drive. Phoenix: (...Hmm...) Phoenix: Yeow! Mia: Don't just stand there "hmm"-ing to yourself! Phoenix: Not you too, Mia! With the whip... And the pain... And the oww... Mia: Ms. Miney! Why do you think you would not have been allowed to drive anyway? Ini: Eh? Um... That's because... Judge: I think this situation calls for a more detailed testimony. Ms. Miney, if you please. Ini: Eh? Like, how annoying. Ini: Oops, like, sorry. Didn't mean to be mean... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- I Wouldn't Be Allowed -- (1) Ini: Like, around that time, I was, like, really close to getting my license. (2) Ini: My sis was, like, this totally big fan of cars and, like, really valued them. (3) Ini: She, like, had just gotten this really shiny, bright red sports car. (4) Ini: She, like, would say things like, "No way am I letting a newb drive my car!" (5) Ini: So, like, that's why I ended up in the passenger's seat that night too. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... I see... A bright red car for sports... Judge: Now then, the defense may question the witness. Phoenix: (Hmm... I'm not terribly knowledgeable about cars, but...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- I Wouldn't Be Allowed -- (1) Ini: Like, around that time, I was, like, really close to getting my license. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So what do you mean by, "really close"? Ini: Like, I had one of those "permit" things. I think that's what they're called. Phoenix: Um, "permit"? Ini: Wow, the big name lawyer boy doesn't even know what a driver's permit is!? Phoenix: Well, this lawyer never had a permit. Phoenix: Wah! von Karma: Ignorance is to be whipped. Phoenix: (What is with her...? All she's said in the last few minutes is utter nonsense...) Ini: So, like, may I continue? (2) Ini: My sis was, like, this totally big fan of cars and, like, really valued them. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: She "valued" cars? How much would you say she valued her car? Ini: Well, like, she'd flip out at, like, a drop of rain... Ini: and, like, she would notice if someone, like, touched the car door with dirty hands. Phoenix: (In that case, why bother taking the car out of the garage, ever!?) *** Press harder *************************** * * Phoenix: * Why did she take such special * care of the car? * * Ini: * How can you say that!? * It was a brand-spanking new * car! * * Phoenix: * ...New car? * * Ini: * Like, you wouldn't want to, * like, get it dirty, would you, * Mr. Lawyer? * * Phoenix: * (I would think that cars * getting dirty is just another * fact of life, but...) * * Phoenix: * (I guess people who really * love cars think otherwise...) * * Mia: * Phoenix, try asking something * of more significance, alright? * * Judge: * Well, Ms. Miney? * What kind of car was it? * ******************************************** *** Let her be ***************************** * * Phoenix: * (I guess I just don't get * what's so special about * cars...) * * Phoenix: * Alright, then, please testify * about your sister's car. * ******************************************** (3) Ini: She, like, had just gotten this really shiny, bright red sports car.

Ini: And it was a really special model. Ini: She had waited for a whole year for it to arrive.

Phoenix: Please append what the witness has just said to her testimony! Judge: You mean the part about it being a special car from overseas? Phoenix: Yes! Judge: *sigh* Well, if you like cars that much, then... Phoenix: That's not my point! Phoenix: (Though to be honest, I don't know what the point is either...) Judge: Ms. Miney, would you please fix your testimony? Ini: Sure, whatever. CHANGE (3) TO (3b) (3b) Ini: My sis' new car was, like, a totally special model from England. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (I yelled, "Hold it" pretty forcefully, but...) Phoenix: (I don't actually know what to ask about cars...) *** Ask for the heck of it ***************** * * Phoenix: * Um... So, yes... * (What am I supposed to pick * for a topic...?) * * Phoenix: * Let's start with this. * Why are British cars good? * * Ini: * Like, huh? * * Phoenix: * They're expensive, and their * driver's seat is opposite to * our cars here in the States. * * Phoenix: * It would seem there is no * benefit to owning one. * * Ini: * Like...

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was your sister good at driving? Ini: She was, like, totally awesome! Ini: She, like, said she was going to be the, like, "Racing Queen of the Nursing World". Phoenix: (...Somehow, I think she bumped my question off-track again...) (5) Ini: So, like, that's why I ended up in the passenger's seat that night too. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And that was when the accident occurred, correct? Ini: Like, yeah... I, like, immediately reached for the passenger side door, Ini: and fled, like, in a daze... Judge: Hmm... Sounds like you had a terrifying time... -------------------------------------------- Mia: There is something very big here. Mia: It's going to be hard to break apart such a natural-sounding testimony. Mia: But we have to attack it. And by doing so, a flaw will show itself. It has to. Phoenix: D-Do you really think so? Mia: Believe. There is a path, I know it. Phoenix: (Hmm... Mia almost sounded like a prophet for a second there...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Newspaper Clipping 2* at (3b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Ms. Miney. Phoenix: Do you remember this article? Ini: ...? Phoenix: It's an article about the accident. You had said this in it: Phoenix: "But I opened the right door, and, like, got out"... Phoenix: That's correct, isn't it? Ini: Like, why are you suddenly asking me about that...? Phoenix: Your Honor. Which side is the passenger's seat: the left or the right? Judge: Well, it's on the right side, of course, because the driver's on the left side. Phoenix: That would be if it were an American car. But it would be the opposite in a British car. Judge: Opposite...? Phoenix: The two of them were riding in a British car! Phoenix: In that case, the passenger side would be the left side! von Karma: Aaaaah! Judge: Wh-What do you mean by this!? Phoenix: Ms. Miney! You said that you had escaped using the right side door of the car! Phoenix: But if you were sitting there, Phoenix: then that means you were in the driver's seat! Ini: Aaaaaaaah! Judge: O-Order! Order in the court! Order! Ooooooooorder!! Judge: Order... Judge: Ack! von Karma: Mr. Phoenix Wright is blabbering nonsense again! von Karma: Ini said the person who was driving was her older sister, Mimi Miney! Phoenix: That is what Ini said, yes But that is where her story falls apart. Phoenix: Somewhere, all of us made a big error in our assumptions! Mia: Phoenix. Mia: It looks like you've finally found the real root of this murder! Phoenix: If we connect all the dots, there can only be one answer! Phoenix: I'd like to ask the court a question. Ini or Mimi -- who was really driving that night? *** Ini Miney ****************************** * * Phoenix: * And the answer is Ini Miney, * of course! * * Judge: * Wh-Why would you say that? * * Phoenix: * Ms. Ini Miney just said so * herself in her testimony! * * Phoenix: * She said that she escaped the * car from the right side door! * * Phoenix: * Which would have been where * the driver's seat was! * * Phoenix: * Owwwww! * * von Karma: * I'm inclined to feel sorry for * a foolish fool who foolishly * spends his time foolishly. * * von Karma: * At that time, Ms. Ini Miney * had not yet received her * driver's license! * * Phoenix: * And that is why the accident * happened! * * Mia: * Hold it, Phoenix! * * Mia: * It looks like you still don't * see the real truth behind the * accident. * * Phoenix: * Th-The "real truth"...? * * Mia: * Think outside the box! * Isn't that what we always say? * * Phoenix: * (A-Alright, one more time...!) * * RETURN TO QUESTION * ******************************************** *** Mimi Miney ***************************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: The answer is the one person who had her driver's license, Mimi Miney. Phoenix: After all, that makes her the only person who could legally drive! Judge: B-But, you just said... Judge: The witness, Ms. Ini Miney, was the one in the driver's seat! Phoenix: Which leads us to the next question... Ini: Th-The von Karma: Th-The next Judge: Th-The next question!? Phoenix: Who is the person standing on the witness stand right now? Ini: ... Uuughn! von Karma: What sort of idiotic ruse is this, Mr. Phoenix Wright!? von Karma: Th-This witness' name... This witness' name is... Phoenix: I'll tell you what her name really is.

That is your real name. Ini: ... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* von Karma: Of all the foolish dribble! von Karma: Th-Then, how do you explain her appearance!? Phoenix: When she was admitted into the hospital, this witness was suffering severe facial burns. Phoenix: So for the purpose of facial reconstruction, they used a picture. von Karma: Facial reconstruction surgery!? Phoenix: This is the picture she gave to her doctors at the time. Phoenix: That's right! It's a picture of her younger sister! Ini: Nooooo! Judge: B-But... Mimi Miney... She died... In the car accident! Phoenix: That's what everyone thought. However, that was not the case. von Karma: Th-Then, the body they found at the crash site... Phoenix: That was the body of the real Ini Miney. Phoenix: Isn't that right... Ms. Mimi Miney!? ... ... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (That car accident one year ago...) Phoenix: (The one who died that night was Ini Miney.) Phoenix: (Her sister, Mimi, then stole her face... And was reborn as Ini.) Phoenix: (With this, she effectively erased "Mimi Miney" from existence!) -------------------------------------------- Mia: Your Honor. Mia: I'm sure you can now see why Mimi had to kill Dr. Grey. Judge: Wh-What do you mean? Judge: Aaah! von Karma: What is the meaning of this nonsense!? Phoenix: Dr. Grey wanted to call back the spirit of a dead person. Phoenix: Specifically, the spirit of his nurse that died in the crash, Mimi Miney. Phoenix: However, that would not have been possible! Phoenix: Because "Mimi Miney" was still, in fact, alive! Phoenix: And that fact would have been discovered had the channeling been conducted. Phoenix: So this witness had to stop that from happening... Phoenix: ...at all costs! von Karma: And... And... von Karma: And that's why she had to kill Dr. Turner Grey? Is that what you're saying!? Phoenix: Yes. Phoenix: Before the channeling, Phoenix: Dr. Grey had the misfortune of consulting this witness about communicating with the dead. Phoenix: And in that moment, his fate was sealed! Judge: W-W... Judge: Well, Ms. Ini...? I mean, Ms. von Karma... Judge: Eek! von Karma: Why did you say MY name, just now!? ? ? ?: ... ? ? ?: Looks like I've been unmasked. von Karma: W-Witness...? Mimi: That's right, I admit it. My real name is Mimi Miney. Phoenix: ...! Mimi: That quack doctor... He got what he deserved in the end. Mimi: And I was so close to finally ditching "Mimi" too. Mimi: So close... Judge: But... But why!? Judge: Why would you go so far to throw away your self...? Judge: To become your own sister!? Mimi: ... Phoenix: (I think I understand why...)

The moment you've all been waiting for! Who will be this year's Grand Prix Champion? Who will be our "Hero of Heroes"!? Will it be last year's runner- up, Jammin' Ninja!? Or maybe Captain Saipan all the way from the lovely tropical island of Saipan!? I see the students of a certain Starry School are raring to win! And Global Hero Onyankopon doesn't want to go home without the prize! We hope lady luck is with all our heroes tonight! And now! The winner of the third annual Hero of Heroes Grand Prix... IS ME!! Whoooooooooa! The true hero of the night has appeared in our midst! == Hero of Heroes Super Hero == It looks like this year's Grand Prix goes to this fantastic warrior! The Nickel Samurai! Too bad, Jammin' Ninja. Looks like the title eluded you again this year! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 20, 7:42 PM Gatewater Hotel Viola Hall Maya: Alright! Yes! Did you hear that, Nick!? Did you!? The Nickel Samurai! He did it! Phoenix: Yeah, he sure did... *sigh* I'm getting too old for this. Powers: Ah, I'm proud of the guy for doing the series justice. Pearl: U-Um... So the person everyone was cheering for... Pearl: I guess he got the prize? Maya: Yup! Maya: You know who we're talking about, right Pearly? "The Nickel Samurai"! Pearl: No. Every Sunday, I only watch the Educational Channel's "Kids' Masterpiece Theatre". Maya: OK, that's it! From now on, it's "The Nickel Samurai"! All the kids watch it! Pearl: Do you like "The Nickel Samurai" too, Mr. Nick? Maya: Nah, Nick's an old fart, so he's not allowed to watch it anymore. Phoenix: That's right. But I do like "Kids' Masterpiece Theatre". Maya: Hey, I didn't know you were so young at heart, Nick! Pearl: Mr. Nick! You're a grown-up! You're not allowed to watch it anymore! Pearl: You're supposed to act your age and have interests that match. Pearl: ...It's very important. Maya: Aw, give it a rest, Pearly! Powers: Looks like I made the right choice in inviting everyone here. Powers: I'm glad you're all having a good time. Maya: Aaaaah... It's like a dream! Powers: Too bad for the Jammin' Ninja, though. Powers: Last year, he lost to The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo. Powers: I thought this might be his year... Maya: Yeah... Maya: Oh, hey, did anyone else think that the Jammin' Ninja was a bit different today? Pearl: Different? What do you mean? Maya: Um, well, he wasn't carrying his bright red guitar. Powers: Hey, you're right! Strange he'd walk around without his signature guitar. Phoenix: (...*sigh* I will never understand these people and their shows...) Phoenix: Anyway, Mr. Powers, thank you very much for tonight. Powers: A-Aw, it was nothing... I owe you one, so it's just my way of saying thanks. Maya: Hey, Nick! Come on! It's time to get going to the lobby! Maya: There's a post-ceremony stage show that's supposed to start real soon. Powers: And then, I heard there's going to be a press conference after that. Phoenix: A press conference? Is he going to make a speech about winning this year's prize? Powers: Uh, well, not exactly... Something about the Nickel Samurai confessing something. Phoenix: Confessing...? Sounds pretty serious. Maya: Argh! Nick! COME ON! You don't want us to be the last ones there, do you!? Pearl: Yeah, Mr. Nick! Do you!? Phoenix: (Why me...? The show doesn't even start for another 20 minutes...) -------------------------------------------- EXAMINE ------- +++ Doors on the left ++++++++++++++++++++++ + + Phoenix: + There's a grand set of doors + over there. + + Powers: + And behind those doors is an + equally grand lobby. + + Pearl: + Shall we go and take a look, + Mr. Nick? + + Maya: + Hey, wait up!

Phoenix: And you are...!? ? ? ?: You don't need to know who I am. ? ? ?: I think you have other things to be concerning yourself with... Such as... Maya: Heeelp! Niiiiick! Pearl: M-Mystic Maya! Phoenix: Maya...? ? ? ?: So, Mr. Wright. Wouldn't you agree that the more important issue is the fate of the girl? Phoenix: (Her fate? Does he mean what I think he means...?) Phoenix: Maya! Where are you!? Are you hurt!? ? ? ?: Come now. Don't fall apart on me yet. Phoenix: (Th-This... No! This can't be!) ? ? ?: Now that I have your attention, Mr. Attorney, ? ? ?: I have a modest proposal for you. ? ? ?: If you do what I require, then I will return to you your valuable "item" unharmed. ? ? ?: ...What is this called again in your fancy lawyer terms? Phoenix: ..."Kidnapping for ransom"... ? ? ?: Yes, that's it. ? ? ?: This is a kidnapping. Pearl: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Mystic Maya! Mystic Mayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Phoenix: (M-My sight... Everything's fading away...) Phoenix: (Maya... Maya... Maya's been kidnapped!) ? ? ?: You there? Mr. Wright, are you there? Phoenix: H-How much!? How much do you want!? ? ? ?: Very good, Mr. Attorney. I'm glad you have such a good grasp of the situation. Phoenix: Hurry up and state your condition! And then return Maya -- ? ? ?: Money is not what I seek. Phoenix: ...What? ? ? ?: What I want is a certain verdict. I would like a complete acquittal. Phoenix: Complete acquittal!? Wh-What in the world have you done to need...!? ? ? ?: I am not the person you will be representing. Phoenix: What...? ? ? ?: You are currently at the Gatewater Hotel, are you not? ? ? ?: And I know that a murder has just taken place there. Phoenix: Juan Corrida was killed, and the suspect is Matt Engarde... ? ? ?: You are, as expected, quite on top of things, Mr. Attorney. ? ? ?: Now then. What I want is very simple. ? ? ?: I want you to obtain a complete acquittal for Matt Engarde. Phoenix: M-Matt Engarde? But why? ? ? ?: He did not kill anyone. I can attest to that. However... Phoenix: H-However!? However what!? ? ? ?: However, someone is framing him for the murder. ? ? ?: A very smart someone who is setting him up to take the fall... Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (If I agree and do what he wants, can I believe he'll keep his end of the bargain!?) ? ? ?: You are, of course, at liberty to believe me or not. ? ? ?: However, there is one thing you can take as fact. ? ? ?: Right now, your very precious "item" is with me, in my possession. Maya: Mmngnhhh... Heeelp!... Nngmph... NIIIICK! Phoenix: Maya! ? ? ?: You have two days. ? ? ?: Of course, tonight, he will be in questioning with the police. ? ? ?: But the trial is in two days. ? ? ?: At that trial, you will win a not guilty verdict. ? ? ?: Remember, you only have one chance. One chance, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: O-One...!? Y-You expect me to get a not guilty in one trial day!? ? ? ?: Yes, exactly. I don't believe I was wrong in choosing you, so don't let me down. Phoenix: Aagh! ? ? ?: Oh, yes, that's right. Now that I am playing the role of the kidnapper, ? ? ?: I can't pass up this chance to say, ? ? ?: "And don't even think about callin' the cops!" ...Hmm, not great, but you get the idea. Phoenix: D-Dammit! Who... Phoenix: Who the hell are you!? ? ? ?: Alright, I'll tell you that much. ? ? ?: My name is... ? ? ?: ...De Killer. ...*beep*... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: ...

I think we should tell the police what it's going on...! Phoenix: (No! We can't do that! If we do, who knows what will happen to Maya...) Pearl: Mr. Nick! What about the detective we saw earlier...? Phoenix: (...Detective Gumshoe!) Phoenix: Yes, that's it! Wait here, and I'll be right back! Powers: Alright! I'll take care of Pearl while you're away! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gumshoe: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANSOM!? Phoenix: Shhh! Not so loud! Phoenix: ...The ransom is complete acquittal for Matt Engarde. Gumshoe: Wait, the deal is "complete acquittal" in exchange for Maya, you mean...? Gumshoe: Then this means Matt Engarde is obviously the killer, pal! No doubt about it! Phoenix: But the guy said that Mr. Engarde is innocent... Gumshoe: You really believe what a KIDNAPPER tells you, pal!? Phoenix: (I guess he has a point... If Engarde is really innocent, then why the kidnapping?) Gumshoe: And on top of everything else, there's all this evidence we keep finding. Phoenix: Huh? Gumshoe: The guys with the eagle eyes are really lapping it up like they just caught a huge fish. Phoenix: Umm... Gumshoe: But it's strange. There's so much evidence that it feels like something's wrong. Phoenix: There's too much evidence? Is that possible? Phoenix: (Actually, didn't the kidnapper say something about Engarde being "set-up"...?) Gumshoe: Anyway, looks like you won't be leaving here tonight, pal. Gumshoe: Just sit tight and cooperate with the investigation. Tomorrow you can start yours. Phoenix: ...A-Alright... (Isn't there another way...?)

Phoenix: Right before her death, she was Juan Corrida's manager. Phoenix: So, I believe you got close to Mr. Corrida so you could find out more about her suicide. Andrews: ...Y-You have a great imagination. Andrews: You may have a future yet as a slimy muckraker for a putrid third-rate tabloid! Phoenix: M-Ms. Andrews...? Andrews: Th-There was no mystery surrounding her death. None. Andrews: It would be pointless for me to force myself into a relationship for nothing! Phoenix: (Is that really true...? Was there really no mystery at all?)

Phoenix: And, Ms. Andrews, I believe you thought the same thing! Phoenix: That is why you became intimate with Mr. Corrida! *1 LOCK BROKEN* Andrews: I-I've sat by quietly and listened to your insulting ramblings long enough! Phoenix: ... Andrews: It's true that Celeste was my mentor, however, allow me to say this again: Andrews: It had nothing to do with me! Andrews: I didn't even know that her suicide note was never found! Andrews: I'm a person who doesn't care about what goes on in the lives of others! Phoenix: (That's the impression you like to give, however...) Phoenix: I don't think that's who you really are.

You... You went through it too, didn't you? Andrews: Went through what? Phoenix: A suicide. Andrews: ...! Phoenix: Ms. Andrews, you look and act like a very strong woman who has it all together. Phoenix: You don't ask for anyone's help and you live by yourself. Andrews: Y-Yes. I've been very independent ever since I can remember... Phoenix: However, that is all just a lie. A fa�ade. Andrews: ... Phoenix: You've always searched out people on whom you can depend on. Andrews: Th-That's...! Phoenix: You were dependent on Ms. Inpax, weren't you? Phoenix: Which is why... Phoenix: When she passed away, you lost everything you had. Andrews: S-Stop! *1 LOCK BROKEN* Andrews: ... Andrews: When Celeste passed away so suddenly like that... Andrews: I died a death of my own. But... Andrews: No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about what had become of her note. Phoenix: You must have heard about the police report... Phoenix: The one that said the police suspected Mr. Corrida of hiding Ms. Inpax's note... Phoenix: You heard about it, and thought to recover it from him by getting close, am I right? Andrews: ... Phoenix: If that's the case, then everything changes. Andrews: Wh-What do you mean? Phoenix: What topic did we start this conversation on again? Andrews: It was "why was the victim killed"... Phoenix: Exactly. Phoenix: Somehow, Ms. Andrews... Phoenix: It seems that you have become the one most likely to want Mr. Corrida dead... Andrews: M-Me...? Phoenix: Ms. Inpax was everything to you. Phoenix: ...And then she died. Phoenix: And you would do anything to find out why she killed herself. Phoenix: ...Even commit murder.

Pearl: Mr. Nick... Can I ask you something...? Phoenix: What is it? Pearl: Ms. Andrews has been playing with that card in her hand since a little while back... Phoenix: (That card...? Yeah, I guess she has...) Phoenix: Ms. Andrews, what is that card you're holding...? Andrews: Huh? O-Oh, this? Andrews: I don't quite know. It just suddenly appeared in my handbag... Phoenix: What is it? It looks like... A seashell? Andrews: That's what it looks like, doesn't it? Andrews: I honestly don't remember owning this card... I wonder where I picked it up from...? Phoenix: (Her not remembering something clearly? Sounds like it would be a rare occurence.) Andrews: Well, I must be off. I leave Mr. Engarde in your "capable" hands.

Phoenix: ...That's what it looks like. Engarde: Dude, no way! That woman couldn't do anything like that. Phoenix: In court today, there will be a mountain of evidence that will implicate you. Engarde: A mountain of evidence...? Phoenix: I'm certain there is someone out there trying very hard to pin this whole thing on you. Engarde: Please, Mr. Lawyer! Dude, like I said yesterday... Engarde: I'm "refreshing like a spring breeze", alright? Engarde: I can't let any sort of scandal ruin that. Phoenix: I understand... ? ? ?: Well, it's almost time. Phoenix: Mia... Mia: We must get a complete acquittal today. Phoenix: I know... Phoenix: I can't focus on Maya's situation right now. Phoenix: ...Or Pearls' either. Phoenix: No matter what, I have to focus on winning this case by the end of the day! Mia: Indeed. Well, let's get going! ...*beep beep beep*... Phoenix: (It's him!) ...*beep*... Phoenix: This is Wright! ? ? ?: Good morning. This is it, Mr. Attorney; the day of the trial. Phoenix: Maya... She's unharmed, right!? ? ? ?: Well... ? ? ?: When I checked on her earlier this morning, she seemed a bit, how shall we say, tired. Phoenix: ...! ? ? ?: Don't worry. People don't die that easily. ? ? ?: Besides, what you really should be concentrating on, is winning today's trial. Phoenix: G...Grrrr... ? ? ?: For myself, you must win today's trial. ? ? ?: Which is why... ? ? ?: I sent you a little present this morning. Phoenix: Present? What in the world would you want to give me!? ? ? ?: You'll figure it out once the trial opens... even if you don't "like" my gift... ? ? ?: I expect you to graciously accept it, and win the day's contest... If you please. Phoenix: Wait! ...*beep*... Phoenix: (The kidnapper sent me a "present"...?) Engarde: Mr. Lawyer dude? Who was that...? Phoenix: Ah, um... No one. It has nothing to do with you, so forget you heard anything! Engarde: ...Dude, did your nose just get longer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 22, 10:00 AM District Court Courtroom No. 3 Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Matt Engarde. Judge: Are the prosecution and defense ready? Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor. Judge: ... Judge: I say! Mr. Wright! What happened to Ms. von Karma!? Phoenix: I-I don't know, Your Honor! (Why are you getting mad at me!?) Bailiff: ...Your Honor! Judge: Please be quiet, bailiff. Court is in session. Judge: If you must tell me something, please keep it brief. Now then, what is it? Bailiff: Prosecutor... Prosecutor von Karma has... Bailiff: This morning, Ms. von Karma was shot by an unknown gunman! Judge: ... WWWWWWWHAT!? Phoenix: Sh-Shot!? Mia: Somehow... Mia: I think this is the "present" that man was talking about. Phoenix: His "present"...! Mia: Ms. von Karma is one of the top prosecutors in the country at the moment. Mia: If she disappeared... Mia: This would be to your "advantage". Phoenix: (Th-This... This is totally insane!) Phoenix: M-Ms. von Karma! Is she alright!? Judge: I don't have that answer! ... ? ? ?: She's alive and in stable condition. Judge: That's good... Phew. Judge: ... ...! Y-Y-You're... Phoenix: (I thought he'd show up...) Edgeworth: ...Your Honor... Edgeworth: Due to the circumstances, Ms. Franziska von Karma can not appear in court today. Edgeworth: I, Miles Edgeworth, will be taking her place. Edgeworth: The prosecution is ready... naturally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Ms. von Karma was shot in her right shoulder, and is currently undergoing surgery. Edgeworth: Luckily, I have looked this case over and am familiar with the details. Edgeworth: The prosecution seeks to prove the guilt of Mr. Matt Engarde. Judge: Th-The court acknowledges the prosecution. Edgeworth: ...Wright. Edgeworth: I finally found the answer I was struggling for on my long journey this past year. Edgeworth: By the time this case comes to an end, you too, will know the answer. Phoenix: ...! Edgeworth: Now then, the prosecution would like to call its first witness... Edgeworth: Please bring Detective Gumshoe to the witness stand! -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Witness, your name and occupation. Gumshoe: My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir. Gumshoe: I'm a detective down at the precinct... for now. Judge: "For now"...? Gumshoe: After this trial's over... I'm supposed to turn in my badge, sir. Phoenix: (D-Detective Gumshoe...) Edgeworth: The prosecution has no need for a depressed witness. Edgeworth: Lift your head up and face forward like a proud officer, Detective Dick Gumshoe! Gumshoe: Y-Yes, sir! Edgeworth: Now, let's have your testimony. Edgeworth: If we want to explore the various facets of this case, we must start with that. Mia: Get ready, Phoenix. This is going to be one very rough fight. Phoenix: Yeah... It would have to be with Edgeworth as my opponent. Phoenix: (The answer he was "struggling" for... Interesting...) Phoenix: (Show me this "answer" you finally found, Edgeworth...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Bare Facts of the Case -- (1) Gumshoe: This murder happened after the Hero of Heroes award ceremony, sir. (2) Gumshoe: The victim, Juan Corrida, was found dead in his hotel room. (3) Gumshoe: After looking into the cause of death, we believe he was definitely murdered, sir. (4) Gumshoe: At first, we thought there was something suspicious about the empty guitar case. (5) Gumshoe: However, we later found out that the guitar case had nothing to do with the murder. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Judge: After the award ceremony ended, the victim was alone in his room...? Gumshoe: Yes, sir! Gumshoe: Both the victim and defendant went alone to their rooms, sir. Judge: I see. Mr. Wright, you may begin your cross-examination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Bare Facts of the Case -- (1) Gumshoe: This murder happened after the Hero of Heroes award ceremony, sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Would you please give us a brief timeline of what happened after the ceremony? Gumshoe: OK, pal. The ceremony started at 6 PM. Gumshoe: It ended around 8 PM... and then there was a short break. Gumshoe: A special post-ceremony show was supposed to start in the lobby 30 minutes later. Phoenix: And that's when the victim's body was found, correct? Edgeworth: Which is to say, the murder occurred during that thirty minute break period. Judge: Hmm... Please continue with your testimony, Detective. (2) Gumshoe: The victim, Juan Corrida, was found dead in his hotel room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The person who discovered the victim's body was Adrian Andrews, correct? Gumshoe: ...Yeah. Judge: Who is this "Adrian Andrews" you're talking about? Gumshoe: She's the defendant, Matt Engarde's, manager. She's a really pretty lady... sir. Judge: Ah, so she's a pretty lady... I wonder if she will grace us with her presence... Gumshoe: When the post-ceremony show was about to start, she went to get Mr. Engarde. Gumshoe: After visiting his room, she next went to the victim's room to get him for the show, sir. Judge: I see... And that's when she found the victim's body... (3) Gumshoe: After looking into the cause of death, we believe he was definitely murdered, sir. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The cause of death... Wasn't that because Mr. Corrida was stabbed in the chest...? Gumshoe: Only a careless amateur would believe something so brainless as that, pal. Gumshoe: Take a good, hard look at the crime photo. Gumshoe: Now, a real pro's attention would be drawn here, to this bandana. Judge: Mmm... "Banana"... Gumshoe: Um, his "bandana", sir... That's the thing wrapped tightly around his neck, sir. Judge: Ah, yes, yes. I see. His banana-scented bandana. Phoenix: Then, what about the knife...? Gumshoe: It seems to have been stuck in the victim's chest on purpose after his death. Judge: Hmm... We have a crafty murderer on our hands here. *Autopsy Report added to the Court Record.* (4) Gumshoe: At first, we thought there was something suspicious about the empty guitar case. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And why did you think that? Gumshoe: Because it was empty, pal. Gumshoe: The Jammin' Ninja doesn't go anywhere without his bright red guitar. Gumshoe: And we couldn't find it anywhere at the scene of the crime. Judge: Oh! Then how about this theory! Judge: A fan really wanted the guitar and did the crime to get it! How's that!? Gumshoe: Um, we thought of that too... But... Phoenix: But...? Gumshoe: The only fingerprints on the guitar case were the victim's. Phoenix: Only the victim's, huh...? Judge: Hmm... I see. Ah, so much for my theory then... *Guitar Case updated in the Court Record.* (5) Gumshoe: However, we later found out that the guitar case had nothing to do with the murder. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: What convinced you it had nothing to do with the case? Gumshoe: The guitar wasn't at the Gatewater Hotel that night. Judge: Well then, where was it? Gumshoe: The bright red guitar was eventually found at the TV studio. Gumshoe: The victim, Juan Corrida, had apparently only taken the case with him, sir. Judge: So you mean he forgot to put the guitar inside the case...? Gumshoe: Yes, sir. Even when he was onstage for the ceremony, he didn't have his guitar. Phoenix: So that guitar case was empty even before he got to the hotel... Gumshoe: Yeah, that's right. So it really had nothing to do with the case after all. Judge: Hmm... -------------------------------------------- Mia: Our first order of business should be to gather more info from his testimony. Phoenix: But there might be a trap set up for us somewhere... Mia: Maybe. Mia: However, setting off traps is a part of a lawyer's job too. Phoenix: If you say so... Mia: Of course, we're supposed to escape from them too, wouldn't you say? RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at (3), (4) and (5)* Edgeworth: I believe that is enough. Edgeworth: First, the victim was choked to death with his bandana. Edgeworth: Then, after the victim was dead, the killer deliberately stabbed him with a knife. Judge: Hmm... Edgeworth: Which brings me to my next point. Edgeworth: Why then, did the police arrest Matt Engarde...? Edgeworth: Because there was reason enough to suspect him. Phoenix: (Here it comes... Looks like Edgeworth's back in full swing...) Judge: Very well. Detective Gumshoe, please testify about this matter. Gumshoe: Yes, sir! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Why Arrest Engarde? -- (1) Gumshoe: Matt Engarde and Juan Corrida were huge rivals with each other. (2) Gumshoe: They each thought the other guy was "in his way". That's motive enough in my book. (3) Gumshoe: As for evidence... There's the Jammin' Ninja's button. (4) Gumshoe: It was ripped off of the ninja costume and was found in Mr. Engarde's "hakama". (5) Gumshoe: The defendant's fingerprints were also all over the knife. (6) Gumshoe: The defendant bought the knife for the crime... Which makes this a premeditated murder! -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... So the defendant's fingerprints were found on the knife used in the stabbing. Gumshoe: It was sort of sticky on the handle, so the fingerprints came out pretty clearly, sir. *Knife added to the Court Record.* Gumshoe: ...And there's this button. Judge: That was found in the defendant's clothes, was it? Judge: Hmm... And is this button also covered in blood...? Gumshoe: Yes, and we know that the blood on it is the victim's blood, sir. Phoenix: What!? *Jammin' Ninja's Button added to the Court Record.* Judge: All of this points very clearly to the defendant, doesn't it? Edgeworth: Yes, it most certainly does, Your Honor. Ready to give in yet, Wright? Phoenix: Hmph! I'll find the hole in your argument somehow! Edgeworth: You can press as hard as you'd like. Just hurry up with your usual pointless questions. Phoenix: Grrrrrrrrr... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Why Arrest Engarde? -- (1) Gumshoe: Matt Engarde and Juan Corrida were huge rivals with each other. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But in terms of popularity, Mr. Engarde won, did he not? Gumshoe: ...Yeah. But you know what's ironic, pal? Gumshoe: Juan Corrida was always one step behind Mr. Engarde in everything. Gumshoe: This year it seemed like he'd finally caught up, ready for the big, final showdown. Phoenix: But Mr. Corrida lost the Grand Prix in the end... Judge: That is too bad... He must have been pretty downhearted after losing. Edgeworth: ... (2) Gumshoe: They each thought the other guy was "in his way". That's motive enough in my book. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Wait just one second here! Phoenix: Mr. Engarde was beating Mr. Corrida in the popularity polls! Gumshoe: Well, yeah, I guess, but... Phoenix: Which means that in the defendant's eyes, the victim was not a rival at all! Phoenix: Which means he had no motive to kill at all! Judge: Hmm... Yes, I quite agree. Judge: Well, Detective? Gumshoe: Um, it's not... Well... Gumshoe: I guess if you put it that way, then yeah, the defendant would've had no motive... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Detective. I'm beginning to see why you were fired. Gumshoe: Eh!? N-No! Not you too, Mr. Edgeworth, sir! That's... Edgeworth: I look forward to your pension negotiations. Gumshoe: N-N-N-NOOOOOOOOOOO! Judge: Now, now, Detective. Let's continue with the testimony. Gumshoe: *sniffle* Noooo... Not my poor pension too... Edgeworth: Detective! If you value your money, I suggest you proceed! Gumshoe: Y-Yes, sir! We can talk about my pension later, sir! Phoenix: (Um, what about what I was saying...? Hello? Anyone...?) (3) Gumshoe: As for evidence... There's the Jammin' Ninja's button. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Do you have any proof that button belonged to the victim? Gumshoe: Huh? What do you mean, pal? Phoenix: Oh. Umm, let me put it this way... Phoenix: I'm asking you if you have any evidence to back up your claim that, Phoenix: "this button was ripped off of the Jammin' Ninja's costume". Gumshoe: Huh? But can't you tell by just looking at it? Phoenix: ... Gumshoe: A-And the victim's blood is on it. Phoenix: Anyone could have smeared that blood on there afterward. Gumshoe: ... Gumshoe: M-M-Mr. Edgeworth... Help me... sir! Phoenix: (Alright! I knew it had to be this piece of evidence. Now to reel this one in...) Edgeworth: ...Thread. Phoenix: Huh? Edgeworth: The button was attached to the costume by thread, obviously. Edgeworth: And that thread snapped when the button was torn off. Edgeworth: If you match up the ends of the thread on the costume with the thread on the button... Edgeworth: it's a perfect match. Gumshoe: Yeah, that's it! They're a perfect match, pal! Phoenix: Urk. Mia: That's Edgeworth for you. Never misses a beat. (4) Gumshoe: It was ripped off of the ninja costume and was found in Mr. Engarde's "hakama". Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: When was this button found? Gumshoe: Pretty soon after the body was found, we rounded up everyone who knew Mr. Corrida. Gumshoe: And then we did a search on them all. That's when we found the button. Judge: Hmm... So it was almost immediately after the murder... Edgeworth: The police didn't have the free time to lollygag and play tricks, unlike some people... Phoenix: (Hey! What is he trying to say about me here?) (5) Gumshoe: The defendant's fingerprints were also all over the knife. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: How were the fingerprints arranged on the knife? Gumshoe: Huh? What do you mean, pal? Phoenix: By examining the fingerprints, you can determine how the defendant held the knife. Phoenix: For example, did he hold it normally, or overhand...? Gumshoe: Oh! Is that what you meant!? Well, we didn't actually think of that... Phoenix: (I can't believe the bumbling of this department...) Edgeworth: ...Hopeless. Were you paying attention to the testimony, Wright? Edgeworth: The defendant's fingerprints were "all over" the knife. Edgeworth: There is no way to determine how the knife was held at the moment of the murder. Judge: Hmm... So is the defendant the owner of this knife, then? (6) Gumshoe: The defendant bought the knife for the crime... Which makes this a premeditated murder! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: There is no way this was a premeditated murder, even if he bought the knife! Gumshoe: Sorry, pal. This isn't just some pocket knife. Gumshoe: It's not really useful for anything, and you can't just walk around with it either. Phoenix: (Argh. Well, this is not good...) Phoenix: (If the prosecution can prove it was a premeditated murder, we're done for...) Mia: ...Phoenix. Phoenix: Y-Yes? Mia: There's something very interesting about what the detective said just now. Mia: Think carefully, before it's too late. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (A button covered in the victim's blood... And a knife with Engarde's fingerprints!) Mia: Be grateful. If the judge were more rash, he would've already pounded his gavel in closing. Phoenix: We're still in a world of trouble... Mia: Well, before any battle, you must find your enemy's weakness. Mia: So let's find the weakness in this testimony, no matter how small it may be, OK Phoenix? RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Knife* at (6) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Wait a second! Gumshoe: Wh-What? Phoenix: So the basis of your argument that this was a premeditated murder is simply that Phoenix: my client "bought a knife beforehand"? Gumshoe: That's right, pal. The defendant... Phoenix: ...Did not buy this knife. Gumshoe: H-Huh!? Phoenix: Take a good look at the handle of this knife, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Gumshoe: ...Huh? Judge: It has a "Gatewater" seal set into the handle... Gumshoe: "Gatewater"...? I think I've heard that name somewhere before. Phoenix: That's the name of the hotel. The Gatewater Hotel. Gumshoe: ... Uh oh. Phoenix: The murder knife was actually property of the hotel! Phoenix: Which means this murder was not premeditated! Judge: Yes, that is very true! This is a very big... Edgeworth: Heh heh heh... Judge: Wh-What is it, Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: I'm sorry, but the defense is simply too careless. Phoenix: What!? Edgeworth: I think whether the crime was premeditated or not... has already been determined. Phoenix: H-How so!? Edgeworth: I admit this knife is hotel property. Edgeworth: There is no one currently on the police force that is dumb enough not to realize this. Gumshoe: ...But I didn't kn... Oh... *whimper* Edgeworth: The question is... Edgeworth: Where did this knife come from? Judge: Wh-Why that's obvious! It came from the victim, Mr. Corrida's room... Edgeworth: Sorry, Your Honor, but that is incorrect. Edgeworth: The victim ate a last meal before he was murdered. With that being the case... Edgeworth: I would like to draw the court's attention to what is on top of the table. Judge: There is a knife and a fork on the table! Judge: Then... Judge: Where in the world did this knife come from!? Edgeworth: If it pleases the court... Edgeworth: I would like for us to recall the room of the defendant, Mr. Matt Engarde. Edgeworth: Especially what was on top of his table... Edgeworth: There is something missing... Perhaps, it is a single knife? Edgeworth: We investigated the leftover dishes for fingerprints, and while we were investigating, Edgeworth: we came to the conclusion that Mr. Matt Engarde's knife was missing. Phoenix: Urk... Edgeworth: Mr. Engarde had gone to the victim's room with the knife he had used during dinner. Edgeworth: Why would he carry a knife on a visit? To kill, of course. Edgeworth: And with that, I believe the prosecution has proven... Edgeworth: This was a premeditated murder. Judge: Amazing, Mr. Edgeworth. Absolutely brilliant. A brilliantly clear deduction. Mia: It seems like Edgeworth had this planned from the very beginning... Phoenix: (This must be one of those "traps", and I just walked headlong into it!) Judge: A murder weapon with fingerprints, and a button from the victim's costume. Judge: There is quite a sizable amount of evidence here. Edgeworth: I can safely say that any further deliberation is a waste of Your Honor's time. Edgeworth: Although... Edgeworth: I wouldn't mind if the defense were to present evidence not yet shown to the court. Phoenix: (Evidence not yet shown...?) Mia: He means evidence that the court hasn't seen yet. In other words, new evidence. Judge: What does the defense have to say about this, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: Um, well... Mia: Phoenix. Mia: The judge is favoring the prosecution right now. Mia: If we answer with something wrong here... Phoenix: (That gavel of his will be ringing out to the sound of our defeat!) Judge: Mr. Wright, do you have some- thing important and necessary to present to this court? *** Actually, I do. ************************ * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** No, not right now. ********************* * * Phoenix: * (This has to be another trap!) * * Phoenix: * (Better if I don't say any- * thing than risk throwing out a * bad piece of evidence.) * * Judge: * Looks like the defense isn't * saying a peep on this one. * * Edgeworth: * Which means this court is * adjourned. * * Mia: * Phoenix! * We will lose this case if you * give up here! * * Mia: * So you had better show the * judge something! Quick! * * Phoenix: * (Slow down! We all know I have * a tendency to be wrong more * than... I can't even say it!) * * Phoenix: * *HOLD IT!* * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: There's one... Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: One piece of evidence that catches my attention. Phoenix: Something that this court has yet to see! Judge: Mr. Wright. Judge: I will say this one more time. I do not feel this trial needs to continue at all. Judge: ... However, I am giving you one chance... and only one. Edgeworth: What the judge is saying, Wright, is don't try pulling one of your usual bluffs here. Phoenix: (If I mess this up, it's curtains for all of us!) Judge: You may now present one, and only one piece of evidence. Judge: Now then, what is this important evidence that you must show to the court? xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x *TAKE THAT!* x x Edgeworth: x Sorry, Wright, but this time, x your bluffing steered you x wrong. x x Judge: x I can see nothing strange x about this piece of evidence. x x Phoenix: x W-Wait! x x Judge: x I am a man of my word, x Mr. Wright! x x GAME OVER x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *Present Wine Glass* Phoenix: *TAKE THAT!* Judge: This... is a wine glass, is it not? Phoenix: Please look at the photo of the crime scene one more time! Phoenix: The scene is a mess because of the victim's struggle against his assailant. Phoenix: The vase was broken, his make- up is all over the floor... Phoenix: These were all things that were at one point, sitting on top of the dresser. Judge: Hmm... Well, yes, I see your point. Phoenix: However! Phoenix: This glass that is sitting on top of the dresser is mysteriously untouched. Phoenix: The only thing that had not fallen over along with every- thing else is this wine glass! Phoenix: This piece of evidence is more than strange enough to warrant further consideration! Judge: ... Gumshoe: ... Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: W-Well? What do you all have to say...? Judge: Ah, well, yes, it is a little peculiar... Phoenix: Y-Yes, isn't it!? I thought it was! Judge: You can stop looking at me with those puppy dog eyes of yours now. Judge: Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: What is it, Your Honor? Judge: Your opinion... Edgeworth: ...You don't need my opinion. Edgeworth: Because there is no special meaning to that glass. Phoenix: ...What!? Edgeworth: It's safe to say that the glass was set there after the crime took place. Edgeworth: By the person who discovered the body, Adrian Andrews, for example. Edgeworth: She could have easily been so shocked that she set the glass down without thinking. Judge: Hmm... That does sound very plausible. Mr. Wright? Phoenix: (Could Ms. Andrews really have set that glass down without thinking...?) *** It's possible. ************************* * * Phoenix: * (It's possible that is what * happened.) * * Phoenix: * (There's nothing that points * to Ms. Andrews not being the * one who set the cup down.) * * Phoenix: * (And if I raise an objection * here, that would only make the * judge slam his gavel down...) * * Mia: * You can't think like that, * Phoenix. * * Phoenix: * Mia... * * Mia: * Right now, you're hanging on * by a very thin thread. * * Mia: * Anything else you can grab * onto right now is better than * nothing! * * Phoenix: * (So in other words, push as * far as we can go...) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** There's no way. ************************ * * Phoenix: * (If I appear weak here, the * trial is over.) * * Phoenix: * (I can look for my proof * later!) * * Phoenix: * (For now, I should trust my * instinct and point with * certainty!) * * Mia: * They just might fall for it, * if you're thought-provoking * enough! * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: The defense would like to challenge the prosecution's theory. Phoenix: We would like to see something that proves it was Ms. Andrews who set the cup on the table! Judge: Hmm... You've turned the situation on its head yet again, as usual. Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. Do you have any proof to back up your claim? Phoenix: (There's no way he has any. He's just bluffing!) Edgeworth: Unlike Mr. Wright, I never say anything unless I have the evidence to support it. Phoenix: Wh-What!? Edgeworth: You're not thinking hard enough today, Wright. Edgeworth: Did you think this wine glass escaped my notice? Phoenix: Th-Then... Edgeworth: Of course it has been thoroughly inspected... for fingerprints. Phoenix: Fingerprints... Edgeworth: There were only one set of fingerprints left on this wine glass. Judge: Only one? Well, whose were they!? Edgeworth: They were not the victim's nor the defendant's. Rather, they were of one Adrian Andrews. Phoenix: WHAT!? *Wine Glass updated in the Court Record.* Edgeworth: That is why I said that the person who had discovered the body had left it there. Edgeworth: Are we done here, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: (Grrr! I can't believe I fell into another trap!) Edgeworth: Ms. Andrews was probably holding the glass when she went to see Mr. Corrida. Edgeworth: But upon seeing his dead body, she was stunned, and set the glass down on the dresser. Judge: Hmm... What you just said makes a lot of sense. Edgeworth: Tsk tsk tsk... Now do you see, Wright? Edgeworth: You can't change any part of my scenario as it explains everything all too well. Phoenix: Grrr! Edgeworth: I've thought long and hard this past year about what it means to be a "prosecutor". Edgeworth: And from here on out, I will show you the answer I have come to discover! Judge: W-Wait a second... Mr. Edgeworth! Judge: I think the prosecution has provided enough evidence for me to enter my verdict... Edgeworth: Unfortunately, I can not allow you to pass judgment yet. Edgeworth: The prosecution has yet another witness we would like the court to hear from. Phoenix: "Another witness"...? Edgeworth: Yes. Edgeworth: Bailiff! Please bring in the next witness! Mia: What in the world is Mr. Edgeworth thinking? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Now then, witness, please state your name and occupation... Oldbag: ... Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: Witness! Your name and occupation, please! Ray Gun: *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...* Edgeworth: Uurrngh! Oldbag: ...Heh. G.O.T.C.H.A! Edgeworth: Grrrrrrrrr... Phoenix: (I wonder what happened to that calm composure he had earlier...) Oldbag: Oh, Edgey-boy! It's been what, a year since we last met, hasn't it? Oldbag: You should be more happy to see me! Edgeworth: I saw the report with her testimony, but who knew that under that helmet... Edgeworth: it was the wicked witch of the witness stand!? Oldbag: I tell you, this time I know what I'm supposed to do! Oldbag: So today, I'm going to tell you anything and everything! Oldbag: Even things that don't have to do with that terrible crime. Judge: Ms... Witness... "That terrible crime" is all this court needs to know. Ray Gun: *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...* Judge: Oof! Oldbag: Shush! I'm talking to my dear Edgey-Wedgey right now! Oldbag: Don't interrupt us, gramps! Judge: Yes, madam. Edgeworth: No no no, please, by all means interrupt her! Please! Edgeworth: *ahem* Anyway, witness, your testimony please. Oldbag: It's true what they say that youth are hotheaded nowadays. Not that I mind at all, Edgey. Oldbag: Now then, what should I start with...? Edgeworth: The witness was on security detail at the hotel on the night of the murder. Edgeworth: Is this correct, Ms. Oldbag? Oldbag: It was a great job being able to see my dearie Juan! Oldbag: It was almost too much for my little heart to handle! Judge: You mean... You were a fan of the victim? Oldbag: Look, everyone is crazy over that Engarde, saying he's cute in a fresh way, or something. Oldbag: But not me! I wouldn't say anything so silly. Oldbag: After all, I have no interest in a little child like him. Oldbag: I'm only interested in a real man: Juan Corrida! Phoenix: (Um... But those two were the same age...) Oldbag: Anyway, as I was saying, Oldbag: I was pacing in front of his room that night. Edgeworth: Very well. Please tell the court what you witnessed the night of the murder. Oldbag: Leave it to me, Edgey-poo! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- What You Witnessed -- (1) Oldbag: Anyway, after the ceremony, I went to pace around in the hallway in front of his room. (2) Oldbag: There was something I was interested in finding out, you know... (3) Oldbag: Well, since I was on the job, I made sure to keep a good eye out the whole time. (4) Oldbag: That's when someone showed up! It was a man coming out of poor Juan's room. (5) Oldbag: It was Engarde. Matt Engarde. He was trying to sneak his way out of Juan's room! -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... So Mr. Engarde came out from the victim's room... Oldbag: See! It has to be him! He's the murderer! Edgeworth: ... Judge: I see. Judge: Well, Mr. Wright. You may begin your cross- examination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- What You Witnessed -- (1) Oldbag: Anyway, after the ceremony, I went to pace around in the hallway in front of his room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Ms. Oldbag, what was your post on that night? Oldbag: The lobby. I was supposed to help set up the stage for that trifling show. Oldbag: But I refused to help, I'll have you know. It was for that Lead-headed Samurai's show. Oldbag: Heh, I even took out a few of the nails. Phoenix: (Maybe it was a good thing the show didn't go on...) Oldbag: Besides, that manager with the glasses seemed to be working hard at it without me. Oldbag: So I thought I'd take a break and spread my wings a little. Phoenix: And that's when you went to hang around the victim's door? (2) Oldbag: There was something I was interested in finding out, you know... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Something you were "interested" in? And just what was that? Oldbag: It's not some little thing I can just go around telling everyone, you know. Oldbag: It's top secret, between me and Juan. Oldbag: Ah, and Edgey, of course. Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. What is this thing she was "interested" in...? Edgeworth: I have no idea. I despise gossip, Your Honor. Phoenix: ("Gossip"...?) Edgeworth: If this has something to do with the case, then you can append it to your testimony. Mia: It looks like we shouldn't force it right now. Judge: Hmm... And did the witness stay in the vicinity of the victim's door the entire time? (3) Oldbag: Well, since I was on the job, I made sure to keep a good eye out the whole time. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Oh? Then would you tell us the number of people who went in and out of Mr. Corrida's room? Oldbag: I have no idea! Oldbag: I wasn't born so I could count things for those who didn't pay attention in class! Oldbag: That's why ever since I turned 20, I quit keeping track of how old I really am! Judge: ...Yes, well, that would explain why your age was not recorded in the report. Edgeworth: In any case... Edgeworth: The witness then saw someone, correct? (4) Oldbag: That's when someone showed up! It was a man coming out of poor Juan's room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Who in the world was that!? Oldbag: I'm not allowed to say! Oldbag: This sort of information has to be carefully guarded from the masses, sonny. Oldbag: The man that came out of Juan's room... It was... He was... Judge: Yes...? He was...? Oldbag: ... Ah! I'm too scared! I can't say his name out loud! Phoenix: (Oh, what I wouldn't give to have Franziska's whip right about now...) Oldbag: Well, I guess I can tell you, since he was such a bad boy anyway. (5) Oldbag: It was Engarde. Matt Engarde. He was trying to sneak his way out of Juan's room! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You saw my client!? Are you sure about that!? Oldbag: Yessey! Phoenix: Really? Oldbag: Annoying brat! When I say I saw someone, I saw that person! Phoenix: (Why do I get a sense of d�j� vu?) Phoenix: (Maybe to avoid a mess like last year, I should delve into this a bit further...) *** The person's face ********************** * * Phoenix: * Please tell the court about * the man's face in more detail! * * Oldbag: * You don't need me to tell you * about his face! * * Oldbag: * That soft, gentle look in his * eyes and his effeminate lips! * * Oldbag: * His right eye covered by his * silky hair!

Phoenix: That's bad for us. Really bad. Mia: But, that's how the human mind is. It also has the tendency to jump off-topic. Mia: She's strayed onto a few interesting side-topics this time too, hasn't she? Mia: But that's what makes her a sweet old lady, right? Phoenix: (That's because you're not the one who has to question her...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Jammin' Ninja's Button* at (5b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Ms. Oldbag... Oldbag: What!? Don't say my name for no reason! Phoenix: Do you know what this is? Oldbag: Aaaah! It's button number 2 on the Jammin' Ninja's costume! Phoenix: (Now I KNOW she's an obsessed fan... She identified it in a single glance!) Oldbag: Give it here! Give it here! If you don't give it to me, I'll punish you with this! Ray Gun: *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...* Phoenix: (Wow... She really is a die- hard fan to want a button covered in blood...) Phoenix: This button was discovered on Mr. Engarde's body during a full body search. Oldbag: See! See! Oldbag: This button proves beyond a shadow of a doubt it was that rascal Engarde! Phoenix: It was caught up in the pleats of his Nickel Samurai hakama pants. Oldbag: See! See! Oldbag: And Engarde is the Nickel Samurai! Phoenix: ...Witness! Phoenix: Now, it may just be me, and I do have an active imagination, Phoenix: but just now, didn't you say that the defendant... Phoenix: Matt Engarde was wearing his "usual racing jacket"!? Oldbag: ... ... ... Oldbag: Ah... I'm so sorry. Oldbag: Sorry that you judge people based on what they wear! Oldbag: If I wore the trendiest dress, then maybe you'd think I was the most gorgeous woman ever! Oldbag: But instead, I have to put up with wearing this ridiculous- looking outfit. You'd agree Oldbag: this outfit is hideous, right? I've got a tape recorder stuck on my chest! Lemme tell you, Oldbag: it's HEAVY! So heavy, I wish we would have switched to CDs ages ago! But I'm keeping that Oldbag: dream alive for all those kids out there, I work hard with a smile on my face, don't you Oldbag: understand!? Now, take a look in the mirror. Your clothes are about as interesting as a Oldbag: documentary on curling! You should take a tip or ten from Edgey-poo. Now HE'S got style! Ray Gun: *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...* Judge: Now hold your tongue still there for one second! So what you saw in actuality, Judge: was not Mr. Engarde, the man... Judge: but Mr. Engarde, the Nickel Samurai!? Oldbag: But when you think about it... Oldbag: They're really one and the same anyway... Phoenix: Ms. Oldbag! This is a very important point we're talking about! Oldbag: Edgey-poo! Do you think so too? Edgeworth: Well, it might be something worth thinking about. Phoenix: Just say, "It's important" and agree with me for a change! Judge: Witness! Think carefully and try to remember as much as you can before you testify! Oldbag: *sigh* Alright, if you insist. Phoenix: (I should be the one sighing, not you!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Who I Saw -- (1) Oldbag: Engarde... Engarde... Yes, now I remember! (2) Oldbag: The Nickel Samurai, that's right, it was the Nickel Samurai that I saw! (3) Oldbag: Yes, it would have been convenient for him to wear his costume during the murder. (4) Oldbag: He had to go to that post- ceremony stage show right after the crime, you know. (5) Oldbag: So he must've worn that Nickel Samurai costume when he was stabbing poor Juan. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: I... I knew it... Phoenix: I knew you'd say he was inside that costume! Oldbag: What? Oldbag: Did you think there could've been someone else inside that costume? Oldbag: Don't be a bad little boy, thinking such rude things. Phoenix: But... But the possibility does exist! Oldbag: Ah, young'uns today. I told you, there is no way it was anyone else. Judge: H-How do you know that? Oldbag: Because... I said so. And what I say is the truth. Phoenix: (At least she's just as delightful a witness as she was a year ago...) Judge: Mr. Wright. You may cross-examine the witness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Who I Saw -- (1) Oldbag: Engarde... Engarde... Yes, now I remember! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Would you please get on with your testimony! Oldbag: Hmph! Watch your language, young man! What sort of tone is that to take with an elder! Oldbag: My youthfulness isn't what it used to be, so you should forgive me for everything! Oldbag: If you keep on barking at me like that, I'll start singing at the top of my lungs! Phoenix: Uh, what? Oldbag: "A striking figure by the sea, standing all alone is he. He's the Nickel Samurai!" Phoenix: (...She's actually singing... Someone help my poor ears.) Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. Can you please do something about this racket!? Edgeworth: Witness. I'll give you a piece of gum later if you'll be good and stick to just the facts. Oldbag: OKAAAAAAAY! ... You promise, right!? Edgeworth: Wright. I'll be sending the bill for the chewing gum to your office at a later date. Phoenix: (Remind me to send you a thank you note later too, Edgeworth, old chum...) (2) Oldbag: The Nickel Samurai, that's right, it was the Nickel Samurai that I saw! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Be a little more careful with your testimony, please! Phoenix: Not too long ago, you said he was wearing his "racing jacket", and now he's not!? Oldbag: "Not too long ago"...? Oldbag: Then let me ask you this! When you were itty-bitty, what was your grand dream? Phoenix: ...Huh? Oldbag: What did you want to be when you grew up, whippersnapper!? Phoenix: My dream, huh...? Phoenix: Well, I... uh, wanted to be Judge Wackner, hero of the Public's Court. So what!? Oldbag: See! Oldbag: And look at where you are now! You're not Judge Wackner, are you!? Are you!? Phoenix: Well... Oldbag: "What I said earlier"... Oldbag: Who puts any weight into things like that!? Oldbag: The "now" is everything! I can't be held responsible for the "past"! Phoenix: (Since when did court become theatrics over testimonies?) Oldbag: All that matters is that man was inside that costume. Isn't that enough!? (3) Oldbag: Yes, it would have been convenient for him to wear his costume during the murder. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And why would that be? Oldbag: That way, no one could see his face, of course! Phoenix: But there's still no advantage for him that I can see. Phoenix: In fact, you would think the costume would make him stand out all the more! Oldbag: ... Oldbag: You are such a annoying child, you know that? You disagree with everything I say... Phoenix: (Isn't that what YOU'RE always doing to me!?) Oldbag: I got it! Maybe it was more troublesome for him to change in and out of his costume! (4) Oldbag: He had to go to that post- ceremony stage show right after the crime, you know. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was there anyone else scheduled to appear at the post-ceremony show? Oldbag: Well, all the contestants were supposed to go onstage in a friendly gesture thing. Phoenix: And that included the Jammin' Ninja...? Oldbag: Of course it included him! Oldbag: That's why when Engarde came out of dear Juan's room, Oldbag: I didn't give it a second thought. Judge: Hmm... I see. Oldbag: Well, anyway. (5) Oldbag: So he must've worn that Nickel Samurai costume when he was stabbing poor Juan. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So let me ask you one last time. Phoenix: The person you saw, it really was the Nickel Samurai? Oldbag: As showy as ever. Oldbag: Haven't I been saying that from the very beginning!? Phoenix: (Can I throw in the towel yet?) -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: Hmm... Mia: You don't need to think too hard on this one. Phoenix: Huh? Mia: There's a contradiction in her testimony and it's sitting in plain sight. Mia: The question is what that contradiction means for us... Phoenix: (Well, I have to figure out what you're talking about first, but OK...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Knife* at (5) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Please take a look at this. Oldbag: Yeah, so, it's a knife. Big deal. Oldbag: If you're trying to scare me with that, I'll have you know it won't work! Phoenix: No no, that's not my intention at all... Judge: That's the knife that was used in the murder, correct? Phoenix: Your Honor. Do you know why this piece of evidence is important to this case? Judge: You don't even have to ask. It's because the defendant's fingerprints are on it. Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: Is that what you're driving at...? Phoenix: That is exactly what I am driving at. Judge: What are we driving at? And whose car are we driving? Phoenix: If Mr. Engarde was really in the Nickel Samurai costume at the time of the murder, Phoenix: then it's impossible for his fingerprints to have been left on this knife! Phoenix: Actually, he would have wiped all previous fingerprints on this knife right off! Judge: Oh, that's right! The Nickel Samurai wears gloves, doesn't he? Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: He probably took his gloves off before he began the stabbing! Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: And why would he do something like that? To leave his prints on the murder weapon? Phoenix: There is no way he would do something like that! Edgeworth: However, there is one possibility! Phoenix: Then let's hear your "possibility"! Edgeworth: It's very simple. Edgeworth: The defendant went to the victim's room while in costume as the Nickel Samurai. Edgeworth: At that time, the defendant held no intent to murder. Edgeworth: He was probably just going to relax and talk with the victim about the stage show. Edgeworth: Which is why he took his gloves off! Judge: Hmm... But the murder still did take place... Edgeworth: It's well known that the defendant and the victim had bad blood between them. Judge: Hmm, yes... I have heard of that... Judge: Well, Mr. Wright? What do you have to say about Mr. Edgeworth's theory...? Phoenix: (So let me get this straight. Edgeworth's theory goes like this:) Phoenix: (When the defendant went to the victim's room, he had no intentions of killing him.) Phoenix: (Now, up to this point, are there any problems with his theory...?) *** There are no problems. ***************** * * Phoenix: * (Argh... I can't see any real * problems with his theory...) * * Mia: * But if you let Edgeworth's * theory stand, * * Mia: * then we're one very large step * closer to a guilty verdict. * * Mia: * Look at the Court Record again * and take another shot at it. * * Phoenix: * (Yeah, I just have to think * about it one more time...) * * Judge: * Mr. Wright, please make your * decision soon. * * RETURN TO QUESTION * ******************************************** *** There is a contradiction. ************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Think about it one more time. ********** * * Phoenix: * (Hmm... I think I need a * little more time on this one.) * * RETURN TO QUESTION * ******************************************** Phoenix: This theory contradicts something in an earlier testimony! Edgeworth: Wh-What are you babbling about...? Phoenix: Now, for argument sake, let's suppose Mr. Engarde was the killer.

This was used by Mr. Engarde at dinner. Judge: Y-Yes, we did establish that. Phoenix: Which means that if my client was, in fact, the killer... Phoenix: Then he brought this knife with him when he went to visit Mr. Corrida. Edgeworth: I suppose... Phoenix: However, you just said it yourself. Phoenix: "At that time, the defendant held no intent to murder." Phoenix: If that were true, then why would he bring a knife!? He wouldn't, would he!? Edgeworth: Hmm... Phoenix: Which means, Mr. Edgeworth, Phoenix: your theory was flawed from supposition one! Phoenix: And one more thing! Phoenix: If the murderer was wearing the costume at the time of the murder... Phoenix: Then there should be glove marks left on the knife! Phoenix: Which means the defendant's fingerprints shouldn't be all over it like bees on a hive! Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: And that brings me to my final point... Phoenix: This knife was planted by the real killer to hide their identity and mislead us! Judge: O-Order! Order, I say! Order in the court!! Judge: Was this knife really planted by the killer!? Judge: Why would the murderer do such a thing!? xxx To hide the murder method. xxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x It's to hide the way in which x the murder was carried out, x of course! x x Edgeworth: x M-More of your nonsense!? x x Phoenix: x Take another good look at x the autopsy report! x x Phoenix: x The victim actually died from x strangulation! x x Phoenix: x The killer tried to hide this x by stabbing a knife into the x victim's chest! x x Judge: x But doesn't the autopsy x admit that the cause of x death was strangulation? x x Phoenix: x Well, yes, the real cause of x death was easily discovered... x x Edgeworth: x Then I'd say the knife did a x terrible job of "concealing" x this fact! x x Phoenix: x ... x x Phoenix: x Aha ha ha... x x Edgeworth: x And that laugh doesn't do a x very good job of concealing x your error either! x x Judge: x Mr. Wright! x I will ask you one more time! x x RETURN TO QUESTION x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** To frame Matt Engarde. ***************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: It's to frame my client, Mr. Engarde, of course!

Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: But we just established that the witness saw the "Nickel Samurai" in costume, Phoenix: and if that were true, then there shouldn't be a single fingerprint on this knife! Edgeworth: Grrrrrrrrr! Witneeeeeesssssss!! Oldbag: ... Oldbag: Looks like I've made your life a tiny bit more difficult, huh Edgey...? Edgeworth: Gnnnnngh... Judge: Witness, did you or did you not really see the Nickel Samurai? Oldbag: Well, I guess at first I might have forgotten, but... Phoenix: Are you saying you mixed up Mr. Engarde with the Nickel Samurai, his character on TV!? Oldbag: But I mean, I can't really do anything about that! Oldbag: Look, I was waiting around in front of their doors because, well... Oldbag: Well, I wasn't waiting around for the Nickel Samurai, that's for sure! Phoenix: ...! Phoenix: (She wasn't waiting for the "Nickel Samurai"...?) Phoenix: Alright then... Who were you waiting around for then? Oldbag: ... Hmph! That's top secret to anyone outside of security! Judge: I have a feeling that you were waiting for Mr. Juan Corrida. Am I correct, witness? Oldbag: Ha ha ha. Oldbag: The way you think, you are a sad amateur with a terrible case of near-sightedness. Judge: Amateur...? Me...? What am I an amateur of...? Phoenix: (So Oldbag was waiting around in front of the victim's room...) Phoenix: (But it doesn't sound like she was waiting to catch a glimpse of Mr. Corrida...) Mia: Maybe... Phoenix! Maybe the old bag was waiting around for "that" person! Phoenix: (Hmm, if it's who I think Mia's hinting at... It's certainly possible...) Phoenix: Ms. Oldbag.

Phoenix: This is Adrian Andrews, Mr. Engarde's manager. Judge: B-But why would the defendant's manager be in the victim's room...? Edgeworth: It seems that this is the latest rumor in circulation, Your Honor. Judge: ...Hmm... Oh... This is... Well, this is... Hmm, hmm... Hah, I see... Phoenix: (The judge seems to be really into the "article"... If it can be called such a thing...) Judge: Then this manager with the initials A. A.... Are you saying it's...? Edgeworth: Adrian Andrews. Without a doubt, the witness thought so as well. Oldbag: ... Hmph. Looks like you found me out. Oldbag: Well, that's fine. I can throw away this whole sworn to confidentiality stuff. Judge: W-Witness...? What in the world are you... Mia: Watch out, Phoenix. I've got a bad feeling about this... A very bad feeling. Oldbag: I got some information... Some very secret information from a certain source. Oldbag: So that's why I was doing my own little investigation... In secret, of course. Judge: B-But what for...? Oldbag: Oh, just for myself... Personal reasons and all that. Judge: ... Judge: Well, Mr. Edgeworth. How will you proceed from here? Edgeworth: I really don't want to do this, however I cannot simply let this point slide. Judge: I see. Judge: Very well then. Witness, please testify about this "secret information". Oldbag: Get ready! This is going to take the wind out of you young'uns! Phoenix: (I'm sure we're all capable of handling this... Really, it's not like we're ten years old.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Secret Information -- (1) Oldbag: That Engarde is one evil, evil man! (2) Oldbag: He thought he could ruin poor Juan by causing a huge scandal! (3) Oldbag: So to do that, he sent his own manager to get in close with Juan! (4) Oldbag: I cannot condone such dirty tricks! So I took action! (5) Oldbag: ...Oh, and this is top secret, you got that!? Nobode else but you and me know yet, OK? -------------------------------------------- Judge: The defendant sent his manager...? What a distasteful topic for this court! Oldbag: What!? Nobody's above gossip! Oldbag: And isn't there a saying!? "The truth is never pleasant." Phoenix: (Never heard that one before...) Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. What about this Adrian Andrews person...? Edgeworth: We have looked into this matter, Edgeworth: and found that the "truth" the article proposes is, in fact, baseless gossip. Judge: Hmm... But should this be true... Judge: Then this proves that the defendant did bear ill-will towards the victim. Phoenix: (...So this means I have to smash this rumor once and for all.) Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright. You may cross-examine the witness. Mia: Be careful. The old bag seems rather excited right now. Oldbag: That's right! Engarde is nothing but your average foul-blooded youth! Phoenix: (Well, as the old saying goes... You've gotta burn old bags with fire!) Phoenix: (Time to fire up the afterburners and hit the highway to the danger zone!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Secret Information -- (1) Oldbag: That Engarde is one evil, evil man! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You can't say something like that without proof! That's just slander! Oldbag: But it's true! That woman was getting intimate with poor Juan! Oldbag: Look! It says so right here, doesn't it!? "Manager to the stars, Ms. A. A.!" Phoenix: But the name of the magazine this came from is "Gossip Land"... Oldbag: What? Are you saying that "gossip" is all just a pack of lies? Oldbag: Hmph, what do you know? Oldbag: I suppose next you'll swear to me that the "news" is 100% truth! Phoenix: Um... Oldbag: Honestly, sonny. You can't discriminate between the news and gossip! Judge: Yes, discrimination is bad, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: (Discriminate? When did I do anything like that?) Oldbag: Anyway, Engarde will never get me to say "touch�"! (2) Oldbag: He thought he could ruin poor Juan by causing a huge scandal! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: A scandal...? What do you mean by that? Oldbag: You're a dimwitted one, aren't you? I can't believe you don't know what a "scandal" is! Oldbag: Honestly, what are they teaching kids in middle school these days...? Phoenix: Ah, no no! I wasn't asking what the word "scandal" means! Even I know that much! Oldbag: Well! That Engarde thought he could own a monopoly on popularity! (3) Oldbag: So to do that, he sent his own manager to get in close with Juan! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You don't have any proof that Mr. Engarde did any such thing! Oldbag: You must be suffering from shock; the shock of hearing the truth. Oldbag: And now, since you're in so much shock, you can't do anything right! Phoenix: (You're right, I can't do any- thing, but boy do I wish I could do something about you.) Oldbag: Alright then, sonny, show me what you've got!

(4) Oldbag: I cannot condone such dirty tricks! So I took action! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, what do you mean by "I took action"...? Oldbag: Like I already told you, I was lying in wait close to the crime scene! Oldbag: Once that slimy woman came out of Juan's room... Oldbag: I was going to capture her, and teach her a good lesson. Something you young'uns need! Judge: You were going to "teach her a good lesson"...? Oldbag: I was going to make her eat the damaging beams of my ray gun! Oldbag: Like this! Judge: N-No, stop! Oldbag: Well, it was too bad that woman didn't come through the door that night.

Judge: What about this photo is "strange"...? xxx Present the Nickel Samurai xxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x It's this person here, of x course! x x Judge: x You mean the "Nickel Samurai"? x And what is wrong with that? x x Phoenix: x At the time of the murder, x Mr. Engarde was in his own x room! x x Phoenix: x Which means this Nickel x Samurai is a fa-- x x Edgeworth: x *OBJECTION!* x x Edgeworth: x If you think that's all it x takes, you should reconsider x your choice of occupation. x x Phoenix: x Urk. x x Edgeworth: x I think it's about time you x retired! x x Judge: x Hmm, it looks like there was x no problem with this photo x after all. x x Edgeworth: x The problem was with the x brain of that lawyer, Your x Honor. x x Phoenix: x W-Wait! x x Judge: x You are the one who let your x last chance fly away from you, x Mr. Wright! x x GAME OVER x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx Present anywhere else xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x *TAKE THAT!* x x Phoenix: x The strange thing is somewhere x around here! x ...I think. x x Edgeworth: x "Somewhere"...? x x Judge: x "Around here"...? x x Mia: x "I think"...? x x Phoenix: x A-Am I seeing something x you all are not...? x x Judge: x Hmm, it looks like there was x no problem with this photo x after all. x x Edgeworth: x The problem was with the x brain of that lawyer, Your x Honor. x x Phoenix: x W-Wait! x x Judge: x You are the one who let your x last chance fly away from you, x Mr. Wright! x x GAME OVER x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *Present the feet area of the Nickel Samurai* Phoenix: *TAKE THAT!* Phoenix: I would like to direct the court's attention to this one area right here! Judge: Wh-What are you pointing to? His ankles...? Phoenix: If you could see this person's ankle, that would be one thing... However you can't. Judge: A-And...? What does that mean...? Phoenix: The "Nickel Samurai" in this photo could not have been Mr. Engarde! Judge: What is the meaning of this!? Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: I wonder if you would care to elaborate... With actual facts, that is. Phoenix: Let's take a look at the Nickel Samurai's poster. Phoenix: Please pay particular attention to the area around the bottom of the hakama. Judge: His... His socks... You can see his socks... Phoenix: Exactly! However, in this photo... Phoenix: The Nickel Samurai is clearly holding his hakama up just to walk! Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: There is only one explanation for this! Phoenix: The person inside this costume is clearly much shorter than the defendant! Phoenix: (Alright. I think I've turned things around for myself this time!) Mia: That's curious... Phoenix: Huh? What is? Mia: Edgeworth is unusually calm today... Phoenix: That's true... Mia: He's just letting the trial run itself; as if he's only along for the ride. Phoenix: "Along for the ride"...? What do you mean by that? Mia: I can only think that perhaps he doesn't feel under attack at all... Phoenix: (He doesn't feel under attack!? Then, he's not taking any damage!?) Judge: Mr. Edgeworth! Where does this leave us!? Edgeworth: ... Judge: If the person in this photo is not Matt Engarde... Judge: Then everything the prosecution has tried to prove has become meaningless! Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: Hmm... I thought it would come to this. Phoenix: WHAT!? Edgeworth: Wright. I have something I want to ask you. Edgeworth: I think you have proven that the person inside this costume is not Matt Engarde. Edgeworth: In that case... Edgeworth: Who IS this a photo of...? Phoenix: (Who is the person wearing the Nickel Samurai costume?) Mia: Don't stress out over this, Phoenix. It's very simple. Mia: What you should be focused on is Edgeworth's attitude, don't you think? Phoenix: (Yeah... Why is he so calm...?) Judge: Mr. Wright. Let's hear your thoughts. Judge: Who is the person in this photograph...? xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Judge: x Are you saying this is x who you think was in x the costume...? x x Phoenix: x Uh... Um... Well, I know there x isn't a lot to back me up x here, but... x x Edgeworth: x *OBJECTION!* x x Edgeworth: x Sometimes I wonder about you. x Do you just pick the first x piece of evidence you see? x x Mia: x I can't believe it.

And I really thought x I had it!) x x Judge: x Now then, would you care to x try one more time? x x RETURN TO QUESTION x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *Present Adrian Andrews profile* Phoenix: *TAKE THAT!* Judge: A-Adrian Andrews...? Phoenix: If you want to know who that Nickel Samurai is, it is none other than this woman! Edgeworth: And why would you say it would be Ms. Andrews!? What in the world points you to her? Phoenix: For starters, she's short. Phoenix: And, she can freely move in and out of Mr. Engarde's room. Phoenix: Finally, she had dinner with Mr. Engarde that night. Judge: And how does that all add up? Phoenix: It means that it makes it very easy for her to get a certain item. Phoenix: ...A certain knife with Mr. Engarde's fingerprints all over it! Judge: The knife that was used as a murder weapon! Edgeworth: Why don't you just say what it is you want, Wright? Phoenix: (I have to do this now! This is my last chance to turn things around!) Phoenix: The defense motions to indict Ms. Adrian Andrews in the murder of Juan Corrida! Phoenix: It was Ms. Andrews who tried to frame the defendant for the crime! Judge: Order! Order!! ORDER!! Judge: It looks like this trial has hit a most unexpected development! Judge: Mr. Edgeworth! Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor? Judge: This court is issuing a subpoena for Ms. Adrian Andrews! Judge: A verdict cannot be passed without first hearing her testimony! Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: (Alright! This is it...) Mia: This... is kind of bad for us. Phoenix: Huh? What do you mean? Mia: If Adrian Andrews is summoned to court as a witness... Mia: It means that the trial will go on for another day. Phoenix: One more day...? Ack!! Phoenix: (If I don't get a verdict TODAY, then Maya...!) Judge: Now then, we shall set Ms. Andrews' testimony for tomorrow... Phoenix: (Wh-What am I supposed to do!? The judge is about to adjourn the court!) *** Wait and see *************************** * * Phoenix: * (I have to do something... * The trial must go on!) * * Phoenix: * (But I don't have anything * left... No evidence, no * nothing!) * * Judge: * Now then, court will adjourn * for tod-- * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Raise an objection ********************* * * Judge: * Now then... * * Phoenix: * *OBJECTION!* * * Phoenix: * Please, Your Honor! * Continue the trial! * You must pass a verdict today! * * Judge: * I can't do that. * * Judge: * We cannot hear Ms. Andrews' * testimony if she is not-- * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *HOLD IT!* Edgeworth: I abhor wasting such valuable time... Phoenix: E-Edgeworth? Edgeworth: Your Honor. I request that you please continue with today's trial. Judge: B-But... Judge: We cannot continue due to this unexpected development! Edgeworth: Tsk, tsk. "Unexpected" development? Edgeworth: I think you underestimate me, Your Honor. Judge: And what do you mean by that...? Edgeworth: That Mr. Phoenix Wright would slave his way to subpoenaing Ms. Adrian Andrews is all Edgeworth: happening according to plan... Even if Wright was a bit slow to catch on... Phoenix: Wh-Wh-Wh... Phoenix: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? Judge: What is the meaning of your statement, Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: Ms. Adrian Andrews is currently waiting in the prosecution lobby... Edgeworth: She is the next witness. Phoenix: ...! Phoenix: (Everything... Everything was planned out in advance by that man...?) Mia: Somehow, I knew there was no way Edgeworth would overlook Ms. Andrews... Mia: Looks like this battle is far from over. Edgeworth: Exactly. Judge: Very well. Judge: We will call the next witness. Judge: However... Judge: Before we proceed, we shall take a 10 minute recess. Judge: Please prepare your witness in that time, Mr. Edgeworth. Edgeworth: ... Judge: The court will now take a 10 minute recess. To be continued. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 2-2: Trial [0444] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� March 22, 2:14 PM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Engarde: Dude! I can't believe that Adrian... No way! Not cool and collected Adrian Andrews! Phoenix: She is your manager. It would have been very easy for her to pull this off. Phoenix: The only person who had easy access to the knife you used at dinner was, well... Her. Engarde: So after the ceremony, during the break, huh...? Engarde: I was sleeping like a log the entire time... Phoenix: See, she could have also easily planted that blood- covered button in your hakama. Engarde: Hmm... Because she was the one that came to wake me up? Engarde: ... Engarde: Then... Dude, you're saying it really was her...? Phoenix: Yes. She is the real killer... She was the one who murdered Juan Corrida. Engarde: But... Why!? I thought she was buds with Juan...! Phoenix: She has her own agenda. Engarde: H-Her own agenda!? Wh-What are you talking about? Phoenix: I'm sure you'll see by the time this trial's over. Phoenix: It'll be alright. I'll get you acquitted by the end of today. Engarde: Get me a verdict that's refreshing like a spring breeze, OK Mr. Lawyer dude? Mia: Phoenix... Mia: You think her motive is related to Celeste Inpax's missing suicide note, right? Phoenix: ...Yes. Phoenix: Ms. Andrews depended on Ms. Inpax for her strength and will to live. Phoenix: But then Ms. Inpax suddenly killer herself. Phoenix: It sounds like she left a suicide note, and the person thought to have hidden it... Mia: ...Is Juan Corrida, the victim of this murder. Phoenix: And that's why I think that Ms. Andrews got close to Mr. Corrida... Phoenix: All to get the suicide note back! Mia: That sounds plausible... Mia: But one thing bothers me. Phoenix: Um, what...? Mia: Who was it that first told us about their relationship? Mia: Better stated, Mr. Andrews' co-dependency with regards to Ms. Inpax...? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: It was Edgeworth... Mia: It looks like he's still the one in command of this ship. Mia: Don't let your guard down yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 22, 2:25 PM District Court Courtroom No. 3 Judge: Court will now reconvene. Now then, Mr. Edgeworth, if you please. Edgeworth: The prosecution calls the witness subpoenaed by this court. Edgeworth: Ms. Adrian Andrews, the person who discovered the crime in Mr. Juan Corrida's room! -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: What is your occupation? Andrews: I am the manager of the defendant in this case, Mr. Matt Engarde. Judge: I see. Now then... Andrews: Before we begin, Your Honor, I have one request. Judge: Uh, yes, sure. What is it? Andrews: I'm sure everyone in this room is wondering the same thing, Andrews: and would love to find out more about my relationship with the victim. Andrews: After all, it was the topic of a certain weekly "magazine" recently... Judge: Ah, no, I have no idea what you mean. I've never even heard of "Gossip Land"... Phoenix: (If the judge was ever a prosecution witness, he'd do all my work for me...) Edgeworth: Anyway, I was wondering if you could please tell us about your relation to the victim. Andrews: Yes, I was seeing Mr. Corrida. Andrews: I was also aware of the rivalry that existed between Matt and Juan... Andrews: But this was a private matter between Juan and myself. Judge: Hmm, so it was a "fry 'n bait" matter... or was that "bait 'n fry"? Reminds me of fishing... Andrews: But I... But I didn't kill him. Edgeworth: No one has accused you of that. Andrews: I've got a feeling someone will soon... Phoenix: ...! Judge: I think we all understand your relationship with the victim now, Ms. Andrews. Edgeworth: Very well then. Witness, please testify to the court Edgeworth: about what happened when you discovered the murder that had taken place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- When I Found the Body -- (1) Andrews: It was time for the show to start, so I went to get Matt from his room. (2) Andrews: After that, I went to Juan's room. (3) Andrews: And there was his dead body. I... I was in shock... (4) Andrews: What I saw was, naturally, the exact same scene as in the crime scene photo. (5) Andrews: I felt as though I was about to faint, so I poured myself a glass of juice. -------------------------------------------- Judge: You poured yourself a glass of juice...? Andrews: Yes. Sadly, I didn't remember not to touch things at the scene of a crime... Andrews: And I disturbed the crime scene by moving this one thing... Edgeworth: And that is when the fingerprints on the wine glass were made, Your Honor. Judge: I see. Judge: Well, Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness. Mia: Phoenix. Mia: She is one cool and collected customer, and she has the brains to match. Phoenix: Yes... I know. Mia: In order to catch a person like her, you have to avoid head-on confrontations. Mia: You should disrupt her pace. Phoenix: Disrupt her pace...? Mia: She's the type of woman who is easily thrown off by things inconsistent with her thinking Mia: so you have to attack when she least expects it. Mia: The instant you let up on your offense is the instant this trial is over. Understand? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- When I Found the Body -- (1) Andrews: It was time for the show to start, so I went to get Matt from his room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And what was Mr. Engarde doing at the time...? Andrews: He was taking a nap. Andrews: He was worn out from his mini performance as the Nickel Samurai during the ceremony... Phoenix: (Hmm, Mr. Engarde did say he was taking a nap...) Phoenix: Then I guess you could say it could not have been taken out of his room, yes? Andrews: Excuse me? "It"...? What are you...? Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Wright. I thought years of school would have taught you how to construct a sentence. Edgeworth: If you can't make a sensible sentence with a subject, then I'll make one for you. Watch. Edgeworth: Did you, Ms. Andrews, remove Mr. Engarde's knife from his room? Andrews: ...No. Judge: Hmm... Edgeworth: Subject, verb, object Wright. Did you skip basic grammar? The witness may continue. (2) Andrews: After that, I went to Juan's room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And why did you do that...? Andrews: As a friendly gesture, Juan was to make an appearance with the other Heroes. Phoenix: (So the show was supposed to be a "show" of friendship, huh?) *** Press further ************************** * * Phoenix: * Is that the only reason? * * Andrews: * I beg your pardon? * What are you implying...? * * Phoenix: * You had a certain goal in mind * when you started to get close * to him, correct...? * * Phoenix: * So perhaps you had a more * personal matter to discuss * with the victim...? * * Andrews: * ... * * Andrews: * Sorry, but I didn't have any * such intentions in mind at * that time. * * Phoenix: * (I can't get her to talk * without a strong piece * of evidence, I guess...) * * Edgeworth: * May we continue now...? * Witness, what did you see when * you got to his room? * ******************************************** *** Let her be ***************************** * * Phoenix: * (I should back off...) * * Phoenix: * (As long as I don't have any * proof, she's not going to * talk.) * * Edgeworth: * May we continue now...? * Witness, what did you see when * you got to his room? * ******************************************** (3) Andrews: And there was his dead body. I... I was in shock... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You were "in shock"...? Andrews: What? Was I not supposed to be? Phoenix: (Ms. Andrews is a very calculating person...) Phoenix: (And despite how "close" they were, I doubt she had romantic feelings for Mr. Corrida...) Edgeworth: Anyone randomly stumbling upon a dead body would be in shock. Edgeworth: And you can't seriously expect that a young beauty like her would not be shocked. Phoenix: (Somehow, I don't think beauty has anything to do with being shocked or not...) Judge: Hmm... I see... (4) Andrews: What I saw was, naturally, the exact same scene as in the crime scene photo. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: This is the photo you're referring to, correct? Andrews: Yes, the one with the knife lodged in his chest... Phoenix: And the guitar case was like this too? Andrews: Yes, it was open and empty, of course. Edgeworth: And then, what did you do next, witness? (5) Andrews: I felt as though I was about to faint, so I poured myself a glass of juice. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Juice...? Andrews: Yes, there was a bottle of tomato juice on the table, so I helped myself. Phoenix: But you didn't drink any of it, did you? Andrews: Huh? Phoenix: There were no lip marks left on this wine glass to suggest that anyone drank from it. Andrews: I... I wasn't feeling terribly great, so I set the glass down. Without drinking it... (5b) Andrews: I was the one who knocked the flower vase over, where it fell onto the guitar case. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: What kind of flower vase was it? Andrews: It was a glass vase... and it was fairly big and heavy. Andrews: I thought I would try to take Juan's pulse... Andrews: So I set the glass I was holding down on the dresser. Andrews: And that's when my elbow accidentally hit the vase... Phoenix: (That's odd. I thought she was always in total control of herself...?) Mia: That's what she would like people to think. Mia: Always be mindful of the gap between the perception and reality. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (It doesn't sound like there's any glaring contradictions in her testimony just now...) Mia: I warned you earlier that she would not crack so easily. Mia: The only way to make her is to... Phoenix: ...Keep on the offensive and not let up. Mia: The only way you're going to catch her is with some very strong, decisive evidence... Phoenix: (I have to find something! I just have to! ...For Maya's sake...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at (3) and (5)* Phoenix: Ms. Andrews, I would like to confirm with you one more time. Phoenix: When you discovered the dead body of Juan Corrida, you were in great shock. Phoenix: And that's when you poured yourself the glass of juice, correct? Andrews: And what of it...? Andrews: My mind really was a complete blank at the time. Phoenix: Your mind was a complete blank? Phoenix: I didn't think that was possible for you. Andrews: Aren't you rude today? Andrews: I was so dazed that I made one careless mistake... That one thing... Phoenix: What "one thing"? Andrews: Um, never mind. It's no big deal. Phoenix: (What was she starting to say just now...?) *** Press further ************************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Let her be ***************************** * * Phoenix: * (Well, it probably doesn't * have anything to do with the * case, so...) * * Mia: * Stop right there. * * Mia: * You finally got her to open * her mouth on this one, and * you're going to let it go? * * Mia: * Now is the time to get as much * out of her as we can. * * Phoenix: * Y-Yeah, you're right. * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: Ms. Andrews! Phoenix: I'm convinced that as you said, you made a "mistake" at the scene of the crime. Andrews: ... Phoenix: What I really want to know is what this "mistake" was. Edgeworth: Hmm, actually... So would I... Andrews: I... I'm sorry... It's just... It's kind of... embarrassing... Andrews: When I... When I set the glass down on the dresser... Andrews: I accidentally... knocked the flower vase over... Judge: F-Flower vase...? Are you talking about the one on the floor in the crime photo...? Judge: This mess of glass shards!? Andrews: It was originally on top of the dresser... Andrews: but when I bumped into it with my elbow, it fell... onto the guitar case. Edgeworth: Wh-Why did you withhold such an important piece of information!? Andrews: I'm sorry... I thought that since the crime scene was already in disarray, Andrews: that people would simply assume the vase was just another part of the mess. Judge: It looks like yet another fact has come to light here. Judge: Please add this and anything else you have to reveal to your testimony. Andrews: I'm sorry... But... Andrews: I have nothing more to add... I didn't touch anything else. Edgeworth: ... ADD STATEMENT (5b) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Guitar Case or Crime Photo* at (5b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: You testified that you knocked the flower vase over. Is this correct? Andrews: Yes. Phoenix: And are you sure it fell onto the guitar case? Andrews: I-Is there some problem with what I said...? Phoenix: It's not "some" problem, it's a "major" problem. Phoenix: It's true that the top of the guitar case was wet with water. Phoenix: However, that's exactly what is so strange! Phoenix: Ms. Andrews! Phoenix: You testified that the vase fell onto the guitar case! Phoenix: However! Phoenix: If that was true, the case should have gotten wet on the inside, not the outside! Judge: Th-That's very true! Phoenix: Furthermore, there is one other strange thing about this guitar case. Judge: And wh-what is that? Phoenix: Let's take another look at the crime scene photo. Phoenix: The remains of the vase are scattered on the floor. Judge: And what is wrong with that? Phoenix: If the guitar case was open when the vase fell... Phoenix: The glass shards should be INSIDE, not outside the case! Andrews: Ah! Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: What is your point, Wright!? Edgeworth: That the case was closed at the time the vase was knocked over? Edgeworth: Is that all!? Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: No. Think back to what Ms. Andrews testified to! Phoenix: She said that other than the vase, she didn't touch anything else! Edgeworth: Nngh... Judge: Yes, that's right... She did implicitly say she didn't touch the guitar case! Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: But... But this whole matter with the guitar case is a dead end! Edgeworth: The bright red guitar was found at the studio! It has no bearing on this case at all! Phoenix: ... Phoenix: That may very well be, however... Phoenix: (An empty guitar case does seem to have no relation to this case...) Judge: Hmm... It seems that there is no deeper meaning to the guitar case. Judge: Well, Mr. Wright? Do you think we need to hear more details about the guitar case? *** Make her testify *********************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Let her be ***************************** * * Phoenix: * Well, the case was empty, * and I think that's all we * really need to know... * * Judge: * I see. * * Mia: * Wait! Phoenix! * Don't you remember what I * told you earlier? * * Mia: * What's important here is that * you disrupt her pacing. * * Mia: * You have to attack her when * she's not expecting it! * * Judge: * Now then, let's move on to * a different matter... * * Phoenix: * *HOLD IT!* * * Phoenix: * Actually, Your Honor, I've * changed my mind. I would like * her to testify about the case. * * Judge: * Wh-Wh-Why are you changing * your mind NOW!? * * Phoenix: * (Well, looks like I disrupted * the judge's pacing... Now * comes the real deal... *gulp*) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: The empty guitar case... Phoenix: I believe this is a crucial piece of the puzzle! Edgeworth: Heh! I can't believe ANYONE would reach for straws like this! But it is you... Phoenix: (I can't believe I'm doing this either...) Judge: Alright. I'll follow along... For now. Judge: Ms. Andrews, please testify to the court about the guitar case. Andrews: Yes, Your Honor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- The Guitar Case -- (1) Andrews: I don't remember too clearly because I was a bit dazed. (2) Andrews: I suppose I must have opened the guitar case... after I knocked the vase over. (3) Andrews: It's not a big deal though, right? The case was empty after all. (4) Andrews: As for why I opened the case... Even I don't know. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... It looks like this really wasn't a very important point. Edgeworth: This wastefulness is such a familiar feeling by now that it's almost... comforting. Phoenix: Um, anyway, I'll just go ahead and start the cross- examination... Edgeworth: Hmph. Using "anyway" to change the topic; a convenient escape for a weak man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- The Guitar Case -- (1) Andrews: I don't remember too clearly because I was a bit dazed. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: During your testimony just now, did you remember those events clearly in your mind? Andrews: ... Andrews: Well, you see... Phoenix: Are you sure you are the one who opened the guitar case? Andrews: ... Phoenix: ... Mia: She's... Mia: She's waiting for someone to tell her if she should answer or not... Phoenix: (Her "co-dependency" is coming through, huh...?) Judge: Well, Ms. Andrews...? Andrews: Y...Yes, it was me... (2) Andrews: I suppose I must have opened the guitar case... after I knocked the vase over. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, you opened the guitar case then? Andrews: Y-Yes... Well, maybe... Phoenix: ... Phoenix: Why did you open the guitar case? Andrews: Huh? Phoenix: Mr. Corrida's dead body was right there in front of you, wasn't it? Phoenix: I would think that the first thing you would do is call for help, not open a guitar case. Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: As the witness has said multiple times, when she found the dead body, Edgeworth: she was "dazed". Judge: Hmm... Andrews: Maybe I... Andrews: Maybe I was curious to know if the bright red guitar was alright or not. Andrews: I thought, "Maybe the criminal took it." Phoenix: (Why would she care about the bright red guitar...?) Andrews: But, getting back on topic... (3) Andrews: It's not a big deal though, right? The case was empty after all. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was it really empty? Andrews: ...? Phoenix: I was just wondering if maybe when you opened the case, Phoenix: the guitar was still inside. Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: How long have you been a lawyer, Mr. Wright!? Have a little professionalism. Edgeworth: The bright red guitar was found at the studio. Edgeworth: These trials would be over in half the time if you would just pay attention. Judge: Yes, pay more attention, Mr. Wright! Phoenix: Sorry... (4) Andrews: As for why I opened the case... Even I don't know. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Was that because you were "shocked and dazed" at discovering the victim's body? Andrews: Yes... That's probably it. Phoenix: ... Andrews: ... Phoenix: (I'm not going to get anywhere if I continue pressing her like this...) Phoenix: (The only way to make her talk is with evidence... I guess I should give it a try...) -------------------------------------------- Mia: Come on, Phoenix. We can't afford to let up on her now. Phoenix: I wasn't planning on letting up, but... Mia: She's at her weakest now, so this is our chance! Phoenix: (Yeah, if we had a weapon to hit her with...) Mia: I'm sure a weapon is hiding somewhere in the Court Record, waiting to be found. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Guitar Case* at (2), (3) or (4) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: There is no way you were the one who opened the guitar case. Andrews: Why would you say that!? Phoenix: It's elementary, my dear. Phoenix: Because the only fingerprints on this guitar case are those of the victim! Andrews: Ah! Judge: What is it, Ms. Andrews? Andrews: ... Andrews: You shouldn't assume that I must have left prints just because I touched the case. Phoenix: What do you mean? Andrews: What if I were to tell you that I was wearing gloves at the time? Judge: Gloves...? But why would you be wearing gloves at the time? Andrews: It was the night of the award ceremony. Andrews: So of course I dressed up for the occasion. Andrews: Yes, now I remember... I'm almost sure I was wearing a pair of thin gloves. Judge: Hmm... I see... Judge: Well, Mr. Wright. It seems the witness was wearing gloves at the scene of the crime. *** Nothing strange about that. ************ * * Phoenix: * Hmm, I guess so... * And I guess that makes sense. * * Edgeworth: * Hmph. * You're the epitome of a * half-baked idea. * * Andrews: * A brain is to be used, not to * look pretty for med students * carving cadavers. * * Phoenix: * (Looks like I need to bake * my thoughts just a little * longer...) * * Edgeworth: * Now, if the defense has no * further objections, let's * return to the testimony. * * RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION * ******************************************** *** That's strange... ********************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: You were wearing gloves...?

This wine glass. Andrews: The wine glass? Phoenix: You left your fingerprints very clearly on this wine glass. Andrews: Ah... Phoenix: Even if you took your gloves off when you poured yourself this glass of juice, Phoenix: wouldn't you think it was just a little strange... Phoenix: That you put your gloves back on, just to open the guitar case!? Andrews: Ugn! Judge: Order! Order! Order!! Mia: Looks like you hit the nail on the head this time. Phoenix: ...? What do you mean? Mia: I believe that guitar case plays a very important role here. Phoenix: But it's just an empty case... Mia: I wonder if it really was empty though... Phoenix: B-But the guitar... The bright red guitar was at the studio! Mia: Phoenix, drop all of your presumptions. Mia: What was in the guitar case was not the bright red guitar. Phoenix: (You don't mean... it was a bright WHITE guitar!? Wait, that's not right either...) Judge: Hmm, I admit it would be unnatural for someone to do that. Judge: So the witness was not wearing gloves, despite the fact that on the case... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Your Honor, this is obviously the defense's usual misdirection tactic at work. Edgeworth: Steer the court towards an unrelated topic, and lull us all into his misguided... Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: No, Your Honor! Please recall that Ms. Andrews had testified that the vase Phoenix: "fell onto the guitar case"! Phoenix: Which means that the case was closed when the crime took place! Phoenix: However, it is wide open in this photo of the crime scene! Phoenix: I am sure this guitar case has some relation to the murder! Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: If you are so sure, Wright, Edgeworth: then I'm sure you can somehow substantiate your outrageous claim, correct!? Edgeworth: Please, enlighten us as to why that guitar case has anything at all to do with this murder! Phoenix: Uh... Judge: Can you do that, Mr. Wright!? Phoenix: Um, well... Phoenix: Let's suppose for a second... Phoenix: That the bright red guitar was not the only thing that could have been in the case... Judge: The bright red guitar not being the only thing...? Judge: Y-You don't mean to suggest that a bright BLACK guitar was inside the-- Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: So, you intend to push your theory that the case was not empty!? Is that it, Wright!? Phoenix: I wouldn't say something I didn't intend to prove! Edgeworth: Deflate that head of yours! You haven't proven anything yet! Edgeworth: Now then, let's have it. What was inside this case at the time of the murder!? xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x *TAKE THAT!* x x Edgeworth: x And why would something x like that be inside a guitar x case, let alone this one? x x Judge: x Why, Mr. Wright, why? x x Phoenix: x Well...

This is a photograph...! Phoenix: Yes, but what is important is what is in that picture, Your Honor. Judge: I-In this picture...? Phoenix: It doesn't take a genius to see what I mean! What I am proposing is... Phoenix: Inside the guitar case was the Nickel Samurai! The hero's very own costume! Edgeworth: Wh-What!? Judge: M-Mr. Wright! Explain yourself! Edgeworth: Wright! Are you saying that the witness opened the guitar case to take out a costume!? Edgeworth: What insane point would there be to doing something like that!? Phoenix: That insane point would be to wear the costume, of course. Phoenix: Ms. Andrews put it on to hide her identity so she could make her escape. Phoenix: After all, you couldn't let anyone see you leave, could you, Ms. Andrews? Andrews: ...! Edgeworth: I-I refuse to accept your theory! Edgeworth: Do you have anything to support such a preposterous idea!? Phoenix: Just outside the door was an investigative photographer who was starving for a big scoop. Phoenix: And in the end, she managed to get this shot, correct? Judge: You... You mean this photo!? Judge: Order! Ordeeeer! Judge: It looks like we've wandered into quite another mess again, haven't we...? Mia: Nice job, Phoenix. Phoenix: Well, you know my strategy. Speak first, think later! Judge: Hmm... So the real murderer was hiding inside a costume... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: W-Wait one second, Your Honor! Edgeworth: The Nickel Samurai's costume would have been Mr. Matt Engarde's! Edgeworth: Why would something of the defendant's be in the victim's room!? Edgeworth: And inside the guitar case, of all places!? Judge: Hmm, true... That is a little baffling... Judge: Mr. Wright, the court would like to hear your thoughts. Judge: What was this Nickel Samurai costume doing inside the guitar case...? xxx It was stolen from Engarde. xxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x I think it may have been x stolen from Mr. Engarde... x x Judge: x S-Stolen!? x But why would someone do x such a thing!? x x Phoenix: x Maybe the thief wanted to x interfere with the post- x ceremony stage show. x x Judge: x Hmm... x x Phoenix: x And so, if he didn't have his x costume, then Mr. Engarde x would be forced to go naked! x x Edgeworth: x *OBJECTION!* x x Edgeworth: x Maybe YOU should be stripped x naked and run out for making x a mockery of this court! x x Phoenix: x E-EXCUSE ME!? x x Edgeworth: x Mr. Matt Engarde did not take x his costume off after the x award ceremony! x x Edgeworth: x He even testified that he x took a nap while still wearing x his costume! x x Edgeworth: x Is this not correct!? x x Phoenix: x ... x Ah, yeah, he did say something x like that, didn't he? x x Judge: x *sigh* x That's what I thought. x x Judge: x Let's try that one more x time, shall we, Mr. Wright? x x RETURN TO QUESTION x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** It was a spare costume. **************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: Mr. Engarde did not take his costume off during the break period... Phoenix: In that case, the costume we are talking about was a spare one. Edgeworth: What...? Judge: Then... are you saying that on the night of the murder... Judge: there were TWO Nickel Samurai costumes at the Gatewater Hotel!? Phoenix: Yes, that is what I am saying. Judge: And how do you explain the costume that was inside the guitar case...? Edgeworth: It would mean that the victim himself had planned to bring this spare to the ceremony! Judge: But... But why!? Judge: The victim, Mr. Corrida, was the Jammin' Ninja. Judge: Why would he secretly bring the Nickel Samurai's spare costume with him...? Judge: What could be the reason behind such a peculiar act? Phoenix: ... Ah, so that's what he intended... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Wh-What are you mumbling to yourself about now!? Edgeworth: Have you just been rambling all this time without any sense of inner monologue!? Phoenix: Huh!? N-No, I just... Judge: Mr. Wright, please explain yourself! Judge: Why do you think the victim had the Nickel Samurai's spare costume!? Mia: Phoenix... Are you sure you can explain this one? Mia: Think carefully before you answer... And then answer with gusto! I believe in you! Phoenix: Alright. This is what I think. Phoenix: The reason the victim brought the Nickel Samurai's spare costume to the hotel was... xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x *TAKE THAT!* x x Mia: x Phoenix! x What are you doing!? x Are you crazy!? x x Phoenix: x I...

Phoenix: On the night of the murder, after the stage show, Phoenix: the Nickel Samurai was going to hold a special press conference. Judge: A press conference...? Phoenix: Yes, the Nickel Samurai was supposed to confess something at this conference. Edgeworth: I heard about this as well. For once, you're not making something up, Wright. Phoenix: But what struck me as strange was that Mr. Engarde himself Phoenix: said he had no idea he was supposed to be holding a press conference that night. Andrews: ... Judge: But how can that be!? Phoenix: The way I see it, that can mean only one thing: The conference was set up Phoenix: by none other than the victim, Mr. Juan Corrida himself! Judge: Th-The victim? Phoenix: Yes. Phoenix: The spare Nickel Samurai costume was prepared for that very conference! Phoenix: Mr. Corrida was going to hold the press conference as the "Nickel Samurai"! Judge: He was going to dress up as the Nickel Samurai and hold a conference!? Judge: But why would the victim do such a thing!? Phoenix: That's something I don't quite know yet, however... Phoenix: What I am concerned with right now is what he intended to reveal at that conference. Edgeworth: The Nickel Samurai was going to "confess" something. Edgeworth: And by "confess", I'd wager he was going to reveal something about "himself". Phoenix: Which means that Juan Corrida, posing as the Nickel Samurai, Phoenix: was going to speak about Matt Engarde! Judge: Yes, I guess that is what it would mean... Edgeworth: But, if that's the case... Edgeworth: that's not a "confession"! That's "public disclosure"! Andrews: Hmph. Judge: M-Ms. Andrews...? Andrews: I can see why you are pros at what you do. Judge: Pardon me? Andrews: Yes, just as you say, the press conference was set up by Juan. Judge: Ms. Andrews! Please offer us an explanation for this! Andrews: I was the one he asked to help set it up. Andrews: And the person who prepared the second costume for him... That was also me. Judge: You...!? Andrews: Juan had bet everything on the Jammin' Ninja this year. Andrews: And if he lost the Grand Prix... Andrews: He was going to make sure Matt was going down with him. That's what he thought anyway. Judge: He was going to ruin him, huh...? Andrews: It looked like somehow, Juan had in his hands a secret so powerful... Andrews: that it would destroy Matt's acting career had it been revealed! Phoenix: What!? Judge: And do you know what this "secret" of Mr. Engarde's is, Ms. Andrews...? Andrews: ... Andrews: That's something only Juan knew. I... I don't know what it is. Judge: Ah... I see. Edgeworth: ... Andrews: I... I've probably been coming off quite suspicious to everyone, Andrews: but that's to be expected. Andrews: I've been trying to protect Matt, after all... Phoenix: P-Protect Mr. Engarde!? Judge: And yet again another strange bit of truth comes to light it seems... Judge: Ms. Andrews, if you could, please tell us the truth about your behavior! Andrews: Yes, Your Honor. I understand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Protecting Matt -- (1) Andrews: From the moment I saw the crime scene, I had a feeling that Matt was the murderer. (2) Andrews: Matt had to kill Juan no matter what. (3) Andrews: And he didn't have an alibi for what he was doing at the time of the murder. (4) Andrews: My thoughts were confirmed by the evidence, of course; the button and the knife... (5) Andrews: But I'm Matt's manager... So I felt that I had to protect him... -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... This does account for everything... Andrews: Well... I am the logical type. Mia: We're finally seeing her true self. Mia: She is more nervous than a scared rabbit. Judge: If there are no objections, I feel that I can pass a verdict based on this testimony. Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright, if you please. Phoenix: (Looks like somehow everything has swung to the opposite end of the scale again...) Phoenix: (That just means I have to put my weight into this and turn her logic upside-down!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Protecting Matt -- (1) Andrews: From the moment I saw the crime scene, I had a feeling that Matt was the murderer. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Would you say that was your "intuition" speaking to you? Andrews: Don't confuse my methods of reasoning with your own. Phoenix: Urk... Andrews: If you want to prove that someone did something, you need three things. Phoenix: Three... things? Andrews: A motive, an opportunity to commit the crime, and finally... decisive evidence. Andrews: And if you think these three things through, the answer becomes quite clear. Mia: You should have already known that, Phoenix... Phoenix: They didn't teach that to us in school... At least, not from what I remember... Andrews: May I continue now? (2) Andrews: Matt had to kill Juan no matter what. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So would you say this "need" came from the press conference? Andrews: Yes. Do you know why Juan chose that event and that hotel for the conference? Andrews: Because that was when he could cause the most damage to the public's beloved Matt Engarde. Judge: And you knew of this plan, didn't you, Ms. Andrews? Andrews: Yes... because I was the one who set up the conference and prepared the costume. Phoenix: But... I'm sure Mr. Engarde himself didn't know anything about a press conference. Andrews: Oh really? Andrews: Can you show me any proof that he didn't know about the press conference? Phoenix: A-Anyway! The important thing here is that this information was not in your testimony! Judge: Yes, I agree. Ms. Andrews, please correct your testimony, if you please. Andrews: "Grasping at straws" now, are we, Mr. Wright? CHANGE (2) TO (2b) (2b) Andrews: I know what his motive was. ...But I don't have any way to prove I'm right. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Has Mr. Engarde done something to hurt or betray you personally? Andrews: ... Andrews: Why do you ask? Phoenix: You were the one who helped Mr. Corrida with his press conference... Phoenix: And that event was supposed to bring down Mr. Engarde, yet you still helped out! Andrews: ... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: The person on trial right now is Mr. Engarde, Wright. Edgeworth: What the witness was thinking, helping the victim with his plan, Edgeworth: is none of our concern. Edgeworth: In any case, this means that the defendant had a motive to kill. Phoenix: (Why do I keep doing this to myself...?) (3) Andrews: And he didn't have an alibi for what he was doing at the time of the murder. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: B-But didn't you already testify earlier that Mr. Engarde was... Phoenix: "Taking a nap in his room"!? Phoenix: Are you telling me now that, that too, was a lie so you could cover for Mr. Engarde!? Andrews: I'm not telling you anything of the sort. Andrews: When I went to get him for the show, he honestly was sleeping. Andrews: However, as to whether he was sleeping the entire time, that I cannot say. Andrews: I was too busy setting up the stage at the time. Judge: Hmm... I keep trying, but I can find no flaws with what Ms. Andrews has said. Judge: I can't say the same for some people here in this courtroom, however. Phoenix: (The judge is glaring straight at Mia...) Mia: He's glaring at you, smart guy! (4) Andrews: My thoughts were confirmed by the evidence, of course; the button and the knife... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You can hardly call the knife "decisive evidence"! Phoenix: The fingerprints on the knife could very well be a clever camouflage! Andrews: Then... What about the button? Phoenix: The button...? Andrews: It's clear from the crime scene that the victim and the murderer fought. Andrews: And during the fight, the killer ripped the button from the Jammin' Ninja's costume. Judge: You're talking about this button, correct? Andrews: That button was found in the pleats of Matt's hakama, isn't that correct? Andrews: I would think that makes it very decisive evidence. Phoenix: Urk. Judge: Looks like you were out-foxed again, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: A-Anyway! The knife doesn't prove a thing! Phoenix: Please fix your testimony! Andrews: I can't stand the sight of a man who can't gracefully accept his defeat. Mia: ... Phoenix: (... Thank goodness Mia can still look at me...) Mia: With an icy stare, yes. Judge: Ms. Andrews, for Mr. Wright's sake, please add this information to your testimony. CHANGE (4) TO (4b) (4b) Andrews: That button was torn off of Juan during his fight with Matt. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And how do you know that? Andrews: When the ends of the threads on the button and the costume were matched up, Andrews: they were found to fit together perfectly... Or so I heard. Phoenix: (Hmm, I've heard that before too.) Phoenix: (But why would Ms. Andrews know about this case down to such a fine detail?) Andrews: Don't look at me like that! Just because I'm prepared and you are not! Phoenix: (Argh... And I thought I had her this time for sure.) Phoenix: (If there's anything to trip her up on, it has to be here. ...But where and what?) (5) Andrews: But I'm Matt's manager... So I felt that I had to protect him... Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But what you really did was stab the guy in the back, didn't you? Phoenix: And at the worst possible time. Andrews: ! Edgeworth: Who's to say she really "stabbed the guy in the back" as you put it? Phoenix: This witness could have disclosed things about Mr. Engarde at any time. Phoenix: Why, then, would she wait until there was a large audience before doing so? Phoenix: It's the same reason why Mr. Corrida planned such an elaborate conference. Phoenix: Ms. Andrews wanted to cause Mr. Engarde as much damage as she possibly could! Phoenix: This witness bears ill-will towards the defendant! Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: This isn't the "Phoenix Wright Wax Philosophical Power Hour". Edgeworth: And please, stop slandering the witness. Andrews: ... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: As I expected, Ms. Andrews' testimony seems pretty solid. Mia: Really? Because to me, it sounded a little wishy- washy. Phoenix: Wishy-washy? (Well, I guess we'll see if I press a little more...) Mia: You should know this by now, Mia: but you'll need strong, decisive evidence to make her talk. Phoenix: Got it, Chief! (...I'm going to pin you down this time, Ms. Andrews!) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Juan's Autopsy Report* at (4b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: This is the victim's autopsy report. Phoenix: It clearly states that the cause of death was "strangulation by a scarf". Andrews: S...Strangulation... Phoenix: The knife stab to the victim was done after the victim had already died. Judge: A-And what does that mean? Phoenix: Let's examine the evidence. This button has the victim's blood on it. Phoenix: Which would mean that it was ripped off of the costume... when? Edgeworth: After the knife was stabbed into the victim... Phoenix: Exactly! Which means... Phoenix: It is impossible that this button was torn off during the victim's final struggle, Phoenix: because the victim was strangled to death in that fight! Andrews: Ah... Phoenix: That's right, Ms. Andrews. Phoenix: There is no way this button was ripped off during the struggle. Phoenix: This button was consciously pulled off of the victim's already dead body! Judge: Order! Order! Wh-What is the meaning-- Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: What is the meaning of this, Wright!? Edgeworth: So what if the button was torn off the body after the victim had already died? Edgeworth: What does that change!? Phoenix: Let me ask you one simple question, Mr. Edgeworth. Phoenix: Why was the button torn off? What purpose did that serve? Edgeworth: What "purpose"...? Phoenix: We now know this button was not torn off during the fight. Phoenix: So the murderer took the time and effort to purposely rip this from the victim's body. Phoenix: That would mean that the murderer had something in mind, wouldn't it? Edgeworth: ... Judge: Mr. Wright! Does this mean... Judge: Does this mean you know what the murderer wanted to do with this button!? What was it!? xxx To have a memento of the crime xxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x Maybe this was the criminal's x first crime and since it went x so well, x x Phoenix: x the person wanted something x as a memento... x x Edgeworth: x Wright... x x Edgeworth: x I'll give this button to you x as a memento. x x Phoenix: x Huh? x x Edgeworth: x A reminder to never set foot x in another court of law again x for as long as you live! x x Judge: x Yes...

Phoenix: By the real killer, of course! Judge: And... The real murder is...? Judge: Well, Mr. Wright!? Who in the world is the real killer then!? Phoenix: (Finally...)

Phoenix: I choose you! You are Mr. Corrida's killer! Andrews: Wh-What!? Judge: Order! Order! Order!! Mr. Wright! Judge: This is a very grave matter! Do you have any evidence that supports your charge...? Phoenix: "Any evidence"...? Phoenix: ALL of the evidence points to Ms. Andrews! Andrews: Wh... How preposterous! You can't stick any of that on me! Phoenix: I can't, can I? Would you care to test me? Andrews: Then... Then what about this knife!? Phoenix: The knife was used to stab the victim after he had already been strangled to death. Phoenix: It was used to throw suspicion onto Mr. Engarde, naturally. Phoenix: A knife covered in the defendant's fingerprints could only be taken from his room. Phoenix: And the only one who had dinner with him, and knew which knife to take, was you. Andrews: ...Tsk! Andrews: Th-Then! Andrews: What... What about the button that was found in Matt's hakama!? Phoenix: This button was removed from the victim's body after he had already died. Phoenix: The only people who could've done so were the person who found his body or the killer. Phoenix: However, if Mr. Engarde was the real killer, Phoenix: there is no way he would have put such incriminating evidence in his own hakama! Andrews: Ughn... Phoenix: The only person who could have put this button into Mr. Engarde's hakama, Phoenix: is the person who went to wake him from his nap... which is you, yet again, Ms. Andrews. Judge: I... I see... What about the empty guitar case...? Phoenix: This is also another piece of evidence that incriminates Ms. Andrews. Phoenix: That costume was used to hide the real killer's identity as they fled the crime scene. Phoenix: Now, who could have known that there was just such a costume inside the guitar case...? Phoenix: It could only have been the person who prepared the costume for the victim. Phoenix: And that person is... you, Ms. Adrian Andrews! Andrews: N...No... I... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: But Ms. Andrews' fingerprints were nowhere to be found on the guitar case! Edgeworth: And it was you who proved that she was not wearing gloves at the time! Judge: ...! Th-That's right! Phoenix: That's because she did not intend on leaving any prints. Phoenix: If anyone had found out that she had touched the case, they would have asked her why. Phoenix: So to avoid leaving any prints, she used a towel or something else to open it. Phoenix: But! The glass of tomato juice is a different story! Phoenix: Ms. Andrews purposefully left her fingerprints on the glass to show that yes, indeed, Phoenix: she was the classic "dazed discoverer" of a dead body! Andrews: Aaaaaah! Phoenix: And to top it all off, there is this photo! Phoenix: A photo of the killer as they exited the scene of the crime. Phoenix: No reasonable person on Earth can believe this Nickel Samurai is Mr. Engarde! Phoenix: He would be much too short for his own costume if it was him. Andrews: ...! Phoenix: Speaking of how tall people are... Phoenix: Ms. Andrews, you're also kind of short in stature, are you not? Andrews: P-Please... Stop... Phoenix: Well, how about it, Ms. Andrews!? Andrews: Um... Phoenix: (I've got her this time!) Andrews: ... Judge: Ms. Andrews...? Andrews: ... I... Andrews: I... I refuse... to testify. Phoenix: What was that...? Andrews: Th-There's a law... Andrews: It says I can't be forced to testify about something... if it can incriminate me! Judge: Well, yes... Judge: You are absolutely correct, Ms. Andrews. Judge: The law does provide us with a way to avoid self- incrimination... Judge: by allowing a witness to not testify if the testimony can cause damage to themselves. Phoenix: WHAT!? Phoenix: ("Pleading the fifth" is not something most people would think to do on the spot!) Phoenix: (Actually... Thinking back to yesterday in Mr. Engarde's room...) -------------------------------------------- von Karma: Adrian Andrews! Andrews: Y-Yes...? von Karma: Think hard about what we just discussed. Understood!? Andrews: A-Alright... Andrews: ... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (That's it.) Phoenix: (That's when Franziska planted this idea into her head...) Phoenix: (She must have told Ms. Andrews to not testify if things looked bad.) Mia: You did a good job proving everything up to this point, Phoenix. Mia: But there is still one thing you haven't done. Phoenix: Something I haven't done...? Edgeworth: Heh heh heh. Edgeworth: What's wrong, Wright? Are you finished already? Run out of evidence? Phoenix: ...! Judge: What is so humorous, Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: I'm sure you realize this as well, Your Honor... Edgeworth: But, everything the good lawyer here has proven up to this point is meaningless. Phoenix: Wh-What!? Edgeworth: Everything you have proven is circumstantial. Phoenix: Circumstantial...? Edgeworth: Yes, circumstantial. You have yet to provide a single piece of definitive proof. Edgeworth: Proof that Ms. Andrews, did in fact, harbor a wish to murder Mr. Corrida! Judge: M-Ms. Andrews! You... Did you want to kill Mr. Corrida...? Andrews: I believe this may lead to me incriminating myself, so I will abstain from answering. Judge: But Ms. Andrews... Judge: If you do that, it would be the same as admitting your guilt, don't you think...? Andrews: Maybe so, or maybe not. There is nothing to prove it either way. Andrews: Besides, you don't even know what crime I would be "guilty" of due to my silence. Phoenix: (NO!! She's taking that defiant attitude again!) Phoenix: M-Mia! What should we do...? Mia: Somehow, we've landed in the worst possible situation. Judge: I think we have reached a certain conclusion at this point in time. Judge: Ms. Adrian Andrews has refused to testify. Judge: And the defense's theory that she is the actual murderer... Judge: has not been fully substantiated with solid definitive proof. Phoenix: But! That's not true! Judge: In this situation, there is only one thing this court can do. Judge: And that is to declare a recess. Phoenix: R-Recess...!? Judge: I request that both the prosecution and the defense look further into this matter. Judge: And at tomorrow's trial... Phoenix: (T-Tomorrow...!?) Phoenix: (We don't have a "tomorrow"!) Phoenix: (If we don't get a not guilty verdict today, then...) Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Please wait, Your Honor! Th...That's not necessary! Phoenix: The trial... Please continue the trial! Edgeworth: What are you sweating for...? Edgeworth: Your client is getting one more day to live, isn't he? Phoenix: That... That's not it! This isn't about that. Phoenix: Edgeworth! I know you know who the real killer is! Phoenix: Please... Let the trial continue! Phoenix: If I don't get the verdict... then Maya... Edgeworth: ...? Judge: But it's impossible to continue as long as the witness refuses to testify. Judge: Now then, this court is... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: It is not impossible for this trial to continue. Andrews: ...! Judge: Mr. Edgeworth! Wh-What are you... Edgeworth: It's true Ms. Andrews holds the right against self- incrimination; however, Edgeworth: if the topic of conversation were something unrelated to whatever she may be guilty of, Edgeworth: then she has no right to withhold testimony! Judge: Y-Yes, that is very true, but... Edgeworth: Actually, there is one little thing that I'm curious about. Edgeworth: Ms. Andrews. Andrews: ... Edgeworth: When you found the victim's dead body, you poured yourself a glass of juice. Andrews: Y-Yes... And...? Edgeworth: I can't help but think how unnatural that is. Edgeworth: Usually when one finds a body, they are shaken up, not stirring a glass of juice. Andrews: So my actions were "unusual"? But I've already... Edgeworth: Before you speak, I want to state that if you have a reason behind your actions, Edgeworth: I would like you to testify to that effect. Andrews: Testify...!? Edgeworth: Your Honor! I would like to request that the witness testify again Edgeworth: as to what happened when she first discovered the victim's body! Edgeworth: Whatever we find out in this testimony should in no way implicate the witness. Judge: Hmm... Mia: I don't know what it is about Edgeworth today, but I can't get a good read off of him. Mia: Is he friend or foe? I just don't know... Judge: The court acknowledges the prosecution's request. Ms. Andrews, if you please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- When I Found the Body -- (1) Andrews: That glass of juice... I didn't really pour it for myself. (2) Andrews: I was surprised when I walked into the room and saw it in that messy state. (3) Andrews: And Juan... He was sitting slumped over and tired-looking in the corner. (4) Andrews: When I saw him sitting like that, the thought that he was dead didn't cross my mind. (5) Andrews: To be honest, I thought he had just fainted or something. So I went to pour him some juice. (6) Andrews: When I realized that he was dead... That's when I knocked the flower vase over. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... So you poured that glass of juice for the victim. Judge: Why didn't you say so in your earlier testimony? Andrews: ...I didn't think I needed to include something so trivial. Mia: Phoenix. Please be careful here. Mia: If you can't find anything wrong with this testimony, then there's nothing left... Phoenix: I know. Phoenix: (Edgeworth... What the heck is going on in that brain of yours...?) Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright. You may begin your cross- examination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- When I Found the Body -- (1) Andrews: That glass of juice... I didn't really pour it for myself. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But... There wasn't anyone else in the room, right? Andrews: Of course not. Phoenix: Then... who did you pour it for? Andrews: Mr. Wright. There is a rhyme and reason for everything. Andrews: Can you wait just a little longer for it to be revealed to you? Edgeworth: In other words, Wright, "Be quiet and listen." Andrews: Precisely! I couldn't have said it better myself. Phoenix: Unnngh... (2) Andrews: I was surprised when I walked into the room and saw it in that messy state. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So, it was a "mess"? Phoenix: Are you sure it wasn't messy because of your fight with Mr. Corrida...? Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: I understand your frustrations at not being able to prove your theory. However... Edgeworth: Before you go accusing people of crimes, go find yourself some evidence! Phoenix: (Grr...) Edgeworth: And then, what did you see next, witness? (3) Andrews: And Juan... He was sitting slumped over and tired-looking in the corner. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Slumped over? Andrews: Yes, he was just sitting there with his head tilted forward, eyes closed. Andrews: He really looked like he was sleeping. Phoenix: (...Is it just me or did that right there sound a little... odd?) (4) Andrews: When I saw him sitting like that, the thought that he was dead didn't cross my mind. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Then what did cross your mind? Andrews: I thought maybe he had smashed everything up in anger because he lost the Grand Prix. Andrews: And then felt tired after his rampage, so he decided to take a nap... Andrews: Anyways, that's what I thought... Judge: I see. So you didn't think he was dead at all. (5) Andrews: To be honest, I thought he had just fainted or something. So I went to pour him some juice. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You thought he fainted...? Andrews: I thought he was asleep at first. Andrews: But then, the room was in such a messy state... Andrews: I thought maybe he had gotten into a fight with someone... Edgeworth: And that's when you went to pour the glass of juice? Andrews: Yes. He always has a hard time waking up. Andrews: So Juan always has a glass of tomato juice to drink. Judge: Hmm... I see. And after that, what happened next? (6) Andrews: When I realized that he was dead... That's when I knocked the flower vase over. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And how did you come to realize that he was, in fact, dead? Andrews: I shook him over and over, but I never got a response... Andrews: So I set the glass down on the dresser and tried to take his pulse. Andrews: I... I was shocked... and staggered backward... Edgeworth: And knocked the flower vase over. So that's what happened. Andrews: ...Yes. -------------------------------------------- Mia: ... This is what it all comes down to. Phoenix: Huh? Mia: This is the absolute end for both sides... And Adrian is letting her guard down. Mia: Phoenix, now is our best chance yet to kill the prosecution's case! Phoenix: (Isn't that a bit harsh...? Ms. Andrews... Will you tell us the truth this time...?) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Crime Photo* at (4), (5) or (6) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: So you honestly didn't think he was dead when you found him? Andrews: No, not at all... Phoenix: Even though this is what you saw when you discovered the body? Andrews: ...Ah! Judge: Wh-What is the meaning of this!? Phoenix: Isn't it obvious, Your Honor? Phoenix: There is a knife sticking straight out of Mr. Corrida's chest! Phoenix: Anyone who saw this scene would have immediately thought that here was a dead man! Andrews: Ah... Um... That's... Well, you see... Phoenix: I doubt a single person in the world would mistake this for someone who fainted, Phoenix: and then so nonchalantly go pour something to drink! Judge: Y-Your point is...? Phoenix: Ms. Andrews! Phoenix: Your testimony just now... It was all one giant lie! Andrews: Ungh! Phoenix: And your lie has proven one thing very clearly. Phoenix: That you are the real killer! Andrews: ... Andrews: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOoooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge: It looks like the defense has somehow brought the ugly truth to light. Judge: The defendant, Mr. Matt Engarde, is not guilty after all... Andrews: That... But that's impossible! You're wrong... Judge: M-Ms. Andrews! Try to have some composure! Andrews: It... It wasn't me... It wasn't me, I tell you! Andrews: It was Matt! I swear it! He's the one who killed Juan! Phoenix: But you were the one who refused to testify! Phoenix: And your reason for not doing so was that you "might" end up incriminating yourself! Andrews: Th-That's because... Judge: Ms. Andrews, I will give you one last chance. Judge: What exactly are you hiding that may "incriminate" you? Andrews: ... Andrews: I... I... Andrews: I refuse... to testify. Judge: Then there is no need for this court to continue any further. Judge: Mr. Matt Engarde's innocence has been clearly demonstrated. Phoenix: (Is... Is it... over...?) Phoenix: (Have we... Have we found the truth at last...?) Mia: What's wrong, Phoenix? Phoenix: Usually... Phoenix: Well, usually, the real killer confesses his or her guilt. Phoenix: And now that I think about it, this is the first time someone hasn't. Judge: Now then, I would like to hand down my verdict for Mr. Matt Engarde. Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Your Honor. Edgeworth: The prosecution feels that it would be premature to pass down a verdict at this time. Judge: Wh-What...? Edgeworth: The reason is quite simple. Edgeworth: This witness has yet to speak the absolute real truth. Judge: The "absolute real truth"...? What are you...? Edgeworth: Witness... Don't you understand yet? Andrews: ...Huh? Edgeworth: I don't know who planted this silly idea in your head, Edgeworth: but as long as you "protect" yourself through your silence, Edgeworth: Matt Engarde will go free. And in his place... Edgeworth: YOU will become the guilty party! Andrews: ...Th-That's... That's a lie! I... I don't believe you! Edgeworth: What...? Andrews: I... I was told... If I spoke... Andrews: If I spoke, then it would be all over... And Matt would never be declared guilty... Phoenix: (Wh-What in the world is she talking about!? Has she lost it!?) Andrews: I... I can't speak about it... I'm too scared... Mia: It's Franziska von Karma... Phoenix: Huh...? Mia: Don't you rememeber, Phoenix? Mia: Ms. Andrews lives by gripping tightly onto the words of another. Mia: Because she doesn't have the strength to believe in herself. Phoenix: Th...Then, right now... Ms. Andrews is... Mia: Yesterday, she was tossed a life-saver by Ms. von Karma. Mia: "Don't say a word, no matter what happens. If you do, Matt Engarde will be acquitted." Mia: Ms. Andrews undyingly believes in those words right now, and is clinging onto them... Phoenix: (Th-Then what should we do!?) Phoenix: (This... This is the first time I've ever come across anything like this!) Phoenix: (But Ms. Andrews has to be the killer, right!?) Phoenix: (All we have to do now is... is get our not guilty... That is my only priority!) Andrews: It wasn't me! I'm begging you, please believe me! I didn't kill Juan! Andrews: Help... Please... Someone... Help me...! Judge: Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Y-Yes, Your Honor! Judge: The court can't continue on like this, therefore I'd like to hear what you intend to do. Phoenix: (What I intend to do...!? Wh-What am I supposed to do!? What am I supposed to say!?) Edgeworth: Wright! I suggest you think very carefully about this! Edgeworth: Think about what this witness did, and what she did NOT do! Edgeworth: And think about who is the real mastermind behind this crime! Phoenix: (Who's the real mastermind? Isn't that obvious!?) Phoenix: (There's no one else it could be except the woman crying over there! ...Right?) Edgeworth: Come now! What will you do!? What kind of man are you, Mr. Phoenix Wright!? *** Request "not guilty" verdict *********** * * Phoenix: * (No matter what she says... * Ms. Andrews is the only person * it could be!) * * Phoenix: * (Not to mention...) * * Phoenix: * (I don't have a choice.

Judge: However, it's clear that the defense's theory is the truth. Andrews: ...Y...You're wrong... Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: Such a shame... Andrews: ...! Edgeworth: I had hoped things wouldn't come to this, however... Judge: Wh-What is it, Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: Ms. Andrews. Since you absolutely refuse to testify... Edgeworth: It falls on my shoulders to disclose this to the court. Andrews: ...S...Stop... Judge: M-Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: This witness... How should I put this... She has an illness. Andrews: What!? Edgeworth: And because of this illness, she has tried to commit suicide in the past. Andrews: S-Stop... Please stop...! Edgeworth: No matter how much you want to hide it, it's no use. I have the evidence right here. Andrews: Ah! Th-That's...! Phoenix: (That's the second part of the suicide report; the attempted suicide report!) Edgeworth: What will you do now, witness? Edgeworth: You know what I am about to do, don't you? Edgeworth: I will now reveal to the court, Edgeworth: the true nature of the pitiful woman known as Adrian Andrews! Phoenix: (The secret of her co-dependant nature...) Phoenix: (Having other people know about it scares her more than anything else in the world...) Andrews: Please! Please STOP!! I beg you!! If people find out... Andrews: If people find out... I... I'll... Edgeworth: If you're going to say you would "choose death", that is of no concern to me. Andrews: ...! Phoenix: (Edgeworth... How can you be so cold...!?) Edgeworth: However, before you die... Edgeworth: I will pull the truth from your breathing lips! Edgeworth: ... No matter what I have to do. Andrews: ... Edgeworth: So, will you tell the court yourself, or shall I!? Either is fine with me. Andrews: ... ... ...I... Andrews: I'll talk. But please... Help me... Andrews: N-Nothing matters anymore... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- My "Crime" -- (1) Andrews: When I first saw him... I really thought he had fainted. Honest. (2) Andrews: When I realized he was dead... That was when I formulated my plan. (3) Andrews: Once I made sure there was no one in the hallway, I made a dash back to Matt's room. (4) Andrews: And then... I stabbed Juan's dead body with the knife, and ripped off the button. (5) Andrews: Just when I finished and was returning to Matt's room... I had a bit of an inconvenience. (6) Andrews: And that's why... That's why I ended up using the Nickel Samurai costume. -------------------------------------------- Judge: S-Stabbed the body!? With the knife!? But why would you do that!? Andrews: Isn't it obvious? To pin the blame on a certain person... Andrews: A certain cowardly man! Judge: Wh... Judge: What do you mean by all of this...? Edgeworth: It might take this court a little while to understand, but... Edgeworth: This is the truth. Andrews: The real killer is Matt! That scumbag of a man! I'll never forgive him! Andrews: He's trying to escape his guilt again! Just like last time! Phoenix: ("Last time"...?) Edgeworth: So, Ms. Andrews stabbed the victim, Juan Corrida, in the chest with the knife. Edgeworth: However, she didn't do it with murder in mind. Edgeworth: She did it with the intent of framing Matt Engarde for the murder... Edgeworth: And this! This is her "crime"! Phoenix: (Wh-WHAT!? How is this possible!?) Phoenix: (I mean... Wasn't Ms. Andrews supposed to be the real murderer!?) Judge: Mr. Wright. Please get over your shock and commence the cross-examination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- My "Crime" -- (1) Andrews: When I first saw him... I really thought he had fainted. Honest. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But you could tell from the state the room was in, that there must have been a fight! Phoenix: Are you telling the truth when you say that you did not know he was dead? Andrews: He... had a scarf tied around his neck... Andrews: But that scarf is a part of the Jammin' Ninja's costume... So... Andrews: So I didn't think anything about it was strange... Andrews: His head was also... tilted down a bit, so I couldn't see his face that well... Andrews: That's why I thought I'd wake him up... and went to pour the juice... (2) Andrews: When I realized he was dead... That was when I formulated my plan. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: What is this "plan" you had? Andrews: ... Andrews: I knew right away the murderer was Matt. Andrews: I knew because Juan... He was going to expose Matt's weakest weakpoint to the world. Andrews: So Matt did this to stop Juan, and silence him for good. Andrews: That's when I thought, Andrews: "I should forge some evidence and pin this crime on Matt." Edgeworth: So the forged pieces of evidence were the knife and the button... Andrews: The first thing that came to mind was to plant the knife. (3) Andrews: Once I made sure there was no one in the hallway, I made a dash back to Matt's room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: That was so you could get the knife, correct? Andrews: The knife Matt used at dinner had his fingerprints all over it. Andrews: I thought if I used that, then the police would certainly turn their eyes towards him. Andrews: Matt was napping with his costume on at the time. Andrews: I slipped in, took the knife, and returned to the scene of the crime. (4) Andrews: And then... I stabbed Juan's dead body with the knife, and ripped off the button. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you were the one to stab the victim with that knife. Andrews: It gives me goosebumps to think about it now... What a horrible thing I did... Andrews: But... At the time, I couldn't control my own body. It moved on its own. Andrews: Then, when I stabbed Juan's dead body... I suddenly realized something. Andrews: If I used the button somehow, I could make Matt look even more suspect. Edgeworth: So you thought to rip one of the buttons off and then plant it in Mr. Engarde's hakama. Andrews: Yes... That's what I had planned to do. Andrews: ...But things never go that smoothly, do they? (5) Andrews: Just when I finished and was returning to Matt's room... I had a bit of an inconvenience. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: An "inconvenience"...? Andrews: There was a woman with a camera at the ready, loitering in the hallway. Phoenix: (I'm willing to bet my spikes it was Lotta...) Andrews: There was also a woman with a ray gun at the ready pacing back and forth... Phoenix: (That's Ms. Oldbag for you...) Andrews: I had already been caught and made into a big scoop for a certain weekly tabloid once, Andrews: so I couldn't very well go out looking like myself and get caught again. (6) Andrews: And that's why... That's why I ended up using the Nickel Samurai costume. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You were the one who prepared that costume, weren't you? Andrews: Yes. I took it from Global Studios... Andrews: I also put it into Juan's guitar case the day before the award ceremony. Edgeworth: You did this in preparation for the press conference, correct? Andrews: Yes, Juan wanted to wear that costume and hold a press conference in it. Andrews: He was going to disclose Matt's big secret there. Judge: And what is this "secret"...? Andrews: ... Andrews: ...That, I don't know. Andrews: Anyway, I thought that if I were to leave Juan's room in the Nickel Samurai costume... Andrews: then people would think that Matt was the "real" murderer. Andrews: I was very careful not to leave any fingerprints when I opened the guitar case. Andrews: I absolutely did not want anyone to know about the costume. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (I don't want to concede, but this testimony... it rings of the truth...) Mia: I'm sorry, Phoenix... Phoenix: N-No, please, don't apologize to me. We were both taken by surprise. Mia: Still, I'm sorry... RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at all statements* Judge: I think we've heard enough! Judge: So, after that, you went back to Mr. Engarde's room and planted the button? Andrews: ...Into Matt's hakama? Yes. Andrews: After that, I folded up the costume I was wearing and put it into a bag. Andrews: Then I snuck it out of the hotel and got rid of it. Judge: M-My word... What does all this mean...? Andrews: ...Mr. Edgeworth, is it? Edgeworth: ... Andrews: The real criminal... is Matt Engarde!! Andrews: Yesterday... That woman prosecutor sat me down for a talk... Phoenix: (Franziska, huh...) Andrews: She said that I should under no circumstances confess to what I had done. Andrews: That if I just kept quiet, then Matt would be found guilty for sure... Andrews: I... I had no choice but to believe in her words... Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: ... ............... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge: What this witness has done is clearly unlawful. Judge: However... Judge: As long as her testimony stands, Judge: we can be certain she is not the real killer! Phoenix: W-Wait, Your Honor! Phoenix: The defense still... Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Wright. Phoenix: ! Edgeworth: It's pointless. Edgeworth: At this point in time, it is not possible to indict Ms. Andrews on anything. Judge: Yes, exactly. Judge: There isn't a single piece of evidence that points to her as the murderer. Judge: The cross-examination of this witness is over. And so is today's trial. Judge: You couldn't establish that the witness was the culprit. Please let it go, Mr. Wright! Phoenix: B-But! Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please place Ms. Andrews under arrest for further questioning. Edgeworth: Understood, Your Honor. The prosecution will arrange for her detention immediately. Judge: That's all. Court is adjourned for today! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Today's... Today's trial... It's over...!) Phoenix: (And I didn't win an acquittal!) Edgeworth: Witness... Would you mind if I asked you something? Phoenix: ...! (Edgeworth...?) Andrews: What is it...? Edgeworth: Before you leave court today, I wondered if I might look at one thing. Edgeworth: The card in your hand. It's had my interest for quite some time now. Edgeworth: What exactly is it...? Andrews: Oh, this...? Mr. Wright also asked about this. Andrews: Although I didn't remember at the time you asked me about it, Mr. Wright, Andrews: I remembered just now. I found this in the room on that day. Phoenix: "The room"...? Edgeworth: "That day"...? Andrews: Yes. Andrews: I found this card when I discovered Juan's body. Andrews: It was lying there right next to him... Phoenix: You found that card... next to the victim's body? Andrews: I suppose I must have unconsciously slipped it into my pocket... Andrews: ...But it's not as if this card has any relevance to Juan's murder, right? Phoenix: (Yeah, I guess not. But it's still a strange card, if you ask me...) Phoenix: (But as far as a clue to this case...? I don't see why...) *HOLD IT!* Edgeworth: Witness! That card... Give it to me! Hurry! Phoenix: E-Edgeworth...? Edgeworth: Do you have any idea what you have stupidly, yet inadvertently done!? Edgeworth: This... I can't believe you hid this from me all this time! Andrews: I... I didn't mean to... Mia: Wh-What is this all about...? Phoenix: (I've never seen such an emotional Edgeworth in my entire life...) Phoenix: (That card... What in the world is it? And what does it mean...!?)

You're finally here, pal! Phoenix: S-Sorry to keep you waiting. Pearl: Do you have the... um... "bug sweeper"? Gumshoe: Um, well, you see... Gumshoe: I got busted trying to sneak in, pal. Then suddenly, I'm staring at the precinct doors. Gumshoe: ...From the outside, I mean. So yeah... I couldn't get one of the police bug sweepers... Phoenix: ... Phoenix: What do you mean you couldn't get it!? We need that item! Gumshoe: Hey, hey, calm down, pal. I didn't say I didn't get one, just not the police's. Pearl: Wow... So this is a "bug sweeper"... Phoenix: It looks a little... broken. Gumshoe: Hey, this was made when I was in elementary school, pal. Phoenix: Oh? By who? Gumshoe: Me, of course! Ah, seeing this sure brings back memories... Phoenix: ... Gumshoe: Hey, don't look down on it, pal! Sure, it looks a little run down... Gumshoe: But I put my heart and soul into building this puppy here! Pearl: Your heart and soul...? Gumshoe: It'll work! Trust me, pal, it'll do the job! But... Phoenix: But...? Gumshoe: But you can't set the sensitivity... Gumshoe: So it's going to beep at anything that gives off electromagnetic waves. Pearl: But isn't it better that way? Gumshoe: Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho! Gumshoe: Well, anyway, since I brought it all this way, might as well give it a whirl, right pal? Phoenix: (I'm getting that sinking feeling again...) Gumshoe: OK, now I'll tell you how to use this baby! Gumshoe: There's a listening device or some other sort of bug hidden in this room, pal. Pearl: So we're going to find it, right? Gumshoe: Right. Now, first, let's turn the sweeper on. Gumshoe: Next, touch the sweeper and take a real good look around the room with it, pal. Gumshoe: You can see how strong the radio waves are in an area by looking at the CHECK gauge. Gumshoe: Once you find something that's giving off strong waves, the gauge will change... Gumshoe: And when that happens, touch the gauge to really give the thing a long hard stare. Gumshoe: There's a lot of things here that's going to give off radio waves, Gumshoe: so let's take a good look at anything and everything that seems suspicious, OK pal!? Gumshoe: Alright! I'm going to go stand outside and keep an eye out. Gumshoe: Give me a yell if you find the bug. Got it, pal!?

Phoenix: (Ack!) Edgeworth: You'll have to excuse me. I heard your conversation just now. Phoenix: E-Edgeworth! What are you doing here!? Edgeworth: A rescue team has been created and deployed. Edgeworth: I can't say I'm optimistic... but we have to move forward, one step at a time. Phoenix: I-I see... Thanks. Edgeworth: Don't thank me yet. We still have to find her. Pearl: ... Edgeworth: Hmm... So, there was a spy camera hidden inside this stuffed animal, huh? Edgeworth: You are one lucky man, Wright. Phoenix: ? Edgeworth: Do you know this stuffed bear, little girl? Pearl: Um... I have no idea! Edgeworth: Hmph... Of course not. Edgeworth: The maker of this bear is a very expensive, luxury brand from overseas. Edgeworth: It's completely hand-made and there are very few that are exported here. Phoenix: Wh-What? Edgeworth: The camera and transmitter that scatterbrained detective took with him are dead ends. Edgeworth: Things like those can be bought anywhere... However, this bear is different. Edgeworth: By tracking how it got into this country, this bear can tell us who the buyer is. Pearl: C-Can you really do that!? Mr. Nick, can he really? Phoenix: W-Well, I guess so... Edgeworth: Hmm... It's 9 PM. I think I can still make it in time. Phoenix: ?

Edgeworth: What? Phoenix: Why are you doing this...? Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: I have no interest in explaining myself to someone who cannot comprehend. Edgeworth: But besides that, Wright. Edgeworth: Until court reconvenes tomorrow, you should concern yourself with this question: Edgeworth: "Who was the person that murdered Juan Corrida?" Phoenix: The "real killer"... Edgeworth: Do you really still think it was Adrian Andrews? Phoenix: To be honest... I don't know anymore. Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: You still have a little time left... Edgeworth: Find the truth, Wright. Everything begins with the truth. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Juan Corrida's real killer... Ms. Andrews' past...) Phoenix: (The kidnapper whose sole condition is an acquittal for Mr. Engarde...) Phoenix: (And... this card. Shelly de Killer...) Phoenix: ...Maya.

You've grown awfully quiet... Phoenix: H-How could I have been so deceived by you all this time? Phoenix: When we first met, I asked if you had killed Juan Corrida... Phoenix: And you answered very clearly that you hadn't killed anyone. Engarde: Hey now. I never told you any lies. Engarde: The person who did the killing was that De Killer guy, right? Engarde: All I'm guilty of is taking a catnap in my room. Phoenix: You... You... You killed Mr. Corrida! Engarde: Hahaha. I dare you to say that in court tomorrow. Phoenix: Grr... Engarde: Aww, but too bad. You can't. You're my lawyer, after all. Aren't you? Phoenix: ... Engarde: You could always drop my case and refuse to represent me. How does that sound? Engarde: Aww, but you can't, can you? That would be the one thing you absolutely can't do. Pearl: M-Mystic Maya...! Engarde: You wouldn't want to test De Killer. He's a man of his word, or so I hear. Engarde: You could end up getting a certain friend of yours rubbed out if you lose. Phoenix: ...Y...You... scoundrel... Engarde: So if I were you, Mr. Wright, esquire, I think I would give it my all tomorrow. Engarde: Remember, everyone likes a happy win-win resolution. Phoenix: I... I'll get you for this!

Edgeworth: One year ago... At that time, I didn't truly understand what a "prosecutor" was. Edgeworth: And that is why... I had to leave the Prosecutor's Office. Edgeworth: I felt that I couldn't stand in a court of law until I knew what a prosecutor really was. Edgeworth: And now, Wright... It's your turn. Phoenix: My... Turn?

There's something written on the back of the frame! Pearl: ..."Maya" Pearl: It's Mystic Maya! She left us a message! Phoenix: Wh-What!? -------------------------------------------- Maya: I thought you'd come. I knew you would. Maya: Now listen up! You'd better get Engarde a guilty sentence, OK!? Maya: If you get that creepy slimebag a not guilty, I'll never forgive you, ever! Maya: I'm fine, so you don't need to worry. Maya: ...There's so much I want to write, but I don't think I have a lot of time left. Maya: Pearly, you're there too, right? Maya: Make sure you help Nick, OK? Someone's gotta watch out for the helpless lunk. Maya: ... Maya: Um... That's it for now, Nick. I guess I'll talk to you guys later. -------------------------------------------- Pearl: ...That's...

Edgeworth: We've searched the house, and this is the last room. It looks like he eluded us. Phoenix: ...Edgeworth. Edgeworth: Yes? Phoenix: As far as clues go, I think this is about all I'm going to get. Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: But I'm still short one last thing... Edgeworth: And what is that? *1 PSYCHE-LOCK* Phoenix: (Ms. Andrews' Psyche-Lock...) Phoenix: (If I could just find out what secret she's holding...) Phoenix: (Then I think I stand a chance in court tomorrow...) Phoenix: (To blow this case wide open and expose the truth.) Edgeworth: I think I know what you're thinking. I'll contact the detention center. Phoenix: Um... Thanks, Edgeworth. Phoenix: Well, let's go Pearls. It's time to open that last lock. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 22 Detention Center Visitor's Room Andrews: Good evening, Mr. Wright. Andrews: ... What's wrong? You look ill... Phoenix: Ms. Andrews. Phoenix: I have come to remove your Psyche-Lock. Andrews: Psyche-Lock...? Phoenix: I want to know, and you will tell me... Phoenix: ...your secret. Andrews: Fine, go ahead. Try to break me, if you can. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Maya's Magatama* Phoenix: *TAKE THAT!* *1 PSYCHE-LOCK* -- Why Frame Him? -- Phoenix: Can you please tell me why you framed Mr. Engarde for the murder? Andrews: I've already told you countless times. It's because I thought Matt was the killer. Phoenix: (No, that's not it! I know you have a personal reason to dislike Mr. Engarde.) Phoenix: Ms. Andrews. You may think I didn't hear it, but I know you said something earlier. Phoenix: You said, "Revenge." Andrews: So you are saying I was taking my revenge out on Matt, and that's why? Andrews: Wh-What an absurd idea. I... I don't have anything I want to take revenge for. Phoenix: (Ms. Andrews... A woman who lives by being dependant on another person...) Phoenix: (There is something or someone in her past that would make her take revenge...) xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x *TAKE THAT!* x x Andrews: x Are you trying to help or x hurt Matt with what you're x doing...? x x Phoenix: x What?

Phoenix: There is only one catalyst that could cause such strong feelings, and even revenge. Phoenix: And that is Ms. Inpax's suicide. Andrews: Wh-What are you trying to say? Andrews: Celeste was Juan's manager. Phoenix: ... Andrews: On top of that, the one who hid her suicide note was also Juan. Andrews: What does all this have to do with Matt? Phoenix: You're right. You haven't mentioned him... Yet. Phoenix: But for you to hate Mr. Engarde... Phoenix: It would mean that he must have had some relation to Ms. Inpax and her suicide. Andrews: Can you explain to me this "relation" between Celeste and Matt!? xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x *TAKE THAT!* x x Andrews: x That's it? x x Phoenix: x Yes... x x Andrews: x And what sort of relation is x this supposed to explain? x x Phoenix: x W-Well, Ms. Inpax and x Mr. Engarde's... x x Andrews: x Before you start, Mr. Wright, x x Andrews: x perhaps I should first request x to see proof that your brain x is wired correctly. x x Phoenix: x (Argh.

Andrews: ... Andrews: Where did you find this...? No, that's alright. It was a rhetorical question... Phoenix: Yeah, it is. Phoenix: I found this at Mr. Engarde's mansion. Andrews: ...

Andrews: I see. What a foul profession. Phoenix: ... Thank you very much for your time and for talking with me. Andrews: It was no big deal. I couldn't sleep anyway. Phoenix: (I can't sleep either... Not with Maya's situation... or with what I know now...) To be continued. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 4-1: Trial [0447] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Phoenix: ...*huff*...*huff*... Phoenix: Grr!! How did I get into this mess...? That's far enough! You can't run forever, Mr. Phoenix Wright! Phoenix: Wha...!? What have I done wrong!? I cannot allow you to go on like this! Phoenix: ...? Phoenix: B-But I'm just a simple defense attorney! Silence! You are no longer worthy of your title. -------------------------------------------- ...I've had this dream before; someplace, sometime ago... ...As if this day was written into my destiny... ...Today I'll stand in court as a lawyer... ...To prove a killer innocent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 9:43 AM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Phone: ... Phone: ...*beep*... Phoenix: Hello, this is Phoenix Wright. Engarde: You don't look so well, dude. Engarde: You're gonna prove me not guilty today, right? Phoenix: ... Phone: ...*beep*... Engarde: Hahaha... If you please, Mister Lawyer. Engarde: Remember, it's not just me. Your precious friend's life is riding on today's verdict too. Phoenix: Grr...! -------------------------------------------- Maya: Now listen up! You'd better get Engarde a guilty sentence, OK!? Maya: If you get that creepy slimebag a not guilty, I'll never forgive you, ever! Phoenix: (...Maya...) -------------------------------------------- ? ? ?: Phoenix... Phoenix! Phoenix: M-Mia! Phoenix: Maya! How's Maya!? Mia: ...I don't know. Phoenix: You don't know...? Mia: She hasn't tried to channel me since yesterday. Phoenix: Mia... What... What am I supposed to do...? Mia: ... Mia: Well, like I said. Mia: For a lawyer, the worst of times are when you have to force your biggest smiles. Phoenix: B-But! Mia: You can't give up! There's still some hope left. Phoenix: Stop it, please! There's nothing left... Not here, not anywhere... Phone: ... Phoenix: (Argh! It's that accursed Engarde again...) Phone: ...*beep*... Phoenix: WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!? Look, don't call me anymore! I mean it! Gumshoe: ......You're really mean, pal. Phoenix: Aaah! Gumshoe! I'm really, really sorry! Phoenix: Where are you? Gumshoe: They let me join the investigation team and we're chasing after De Killer, pal! Phoenix: ...! Then, you have some sort of lead...!? Gumshoe: Sorry, but right now we've got zero leads on the guy... Gumshoe: But we're not going to give up! Phoenix: Gumshoe... Gumshoe: Until the trial is over... until the verdict is handed down, Gumshoe: we're going to do everything we can and find De Killer! Gumshoe: If we can get Maya out, then you can get Engarde the guilty verdict he deserves, pal! Phoenix: (That's true, I could do that if they found Maya first...) Gumshoe: You got that!? So you have to do whatever you can to make the trial last longer! Phoenix: I have to make the trial last longer? Gumshoe: If you go at Mr. Edgeworth with everything you've got, then you two can draw it out! Phoenix: (Oh, now I get it...) Gumshoe: I believe in you, pal! You and Mr. Edgeworth can do it! Gumshoe: So! Gumshoe: Believe in us! We're going to give it all we've got, just like you! Phoenix: Got it! Thanks Gumshoe! Phone: ...*beep*... Mia: ...Hey, Phoenix. Mia: You understand now, don't you? Mia: You have something money will never be able to buy. Friendship. Mia: It's the strongest weapon in the world and you have it in abundance. Phoenix: ...Yeah! Phoenix: (Looks like we're coming to the end...) Phoenix: (I have to make the trial last as long as I can! Gumshoe will come through, I know it!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 10:00 AM District Court Courtroom No. 3 Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Matt Engarde. Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor. Edgeworth: The prosecution has been ready for a while, Your Honor. Judge: Now, as I recall, we concluded yesterday's session with a big mystery on our hands. Judge: The mystery being what exactly was Ms. Adrian Andrews' role in this murder? Judge: That is to say, is she really connected to the crime itself? Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, if you would please inform the court of today's proceedings. Edgeworth: Adrian Andrews. Edgeworth: She forged evidence that threw suspicion onto Mr. Engarde, Edgeworth: and then proceeded to escape the crime scene by wearing a Nickel Samurai costume. Edgeworth: The guilt of these actions are those from which she cannot escape. Judge: Hmm, then you're saying that she is guilty after all...? Edgeworth: I'm not finished, Your Honor. Edgeworth: Ms. Andrews has nothing to do with committing the actual murder. Phoenix: ...! Edgeworth: I would like to direct the court's attention to this card. Judge: What is that...? It looks like a shell... Edgeworth: This is the calling card of a certain assassin. Judge: A-Assassin, you say!? Edgeworth: Yes, Juan Corrida was killed by a professional assassin! Edgeworth: And the person who hired the assassin, his client so to speak, is Matt Engarde! Judge: Wh-What a surprising turn of events! Edgeworth: I would think it's become commonplace by now, Your Honor. Phoenix: (I know what's going on this time...) Phoenix: (So I know that everything Edgeworth has said is true...) Mia: But we still have to hold out as long as we can. Mia: At least, until Maya's safe and sound. Phoenix: I wonder how the trial will turn out today...? Judge: Now then, please call your first witness, Mr. Edgeworth. Edgeworth: The prosecution calls the defendant's "mentor", Mr. Will Powers to the stand. -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Now then, witness. Your name and occupation, please. Powers: O-OK. Powers: I'm... Uh... Will Powers. Powers: I'm a poor, underpaid action star... Edgeworth: And what is your relation to the defendant? Powers: Well, that's... I guess I'm sort of a lousy mentor to him in a way. Yeah. Judge: Um, Mr. Powers. Please... You don't need to put yourself down so much. Powers: Oh, uh, sorry. Well, but I'm just kind of a nothing sort of guy. Edgeworth: On the night of the murder, you visited the defendant's room. Edgeworth: Is this correct? Powers: Y-Yes. Phoenix: ...! (I... I didn't know that...) Powers: Um, but you know... Powers: I didn't actually get to see Matt when I went... Edgeworth: All you need to do is answer what you're asked. Edgeworth: Now then, I would like you to please testify about when you went to Mr. Engarde's room. Powers: O-OK... Sure... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Visit to Matt's Room -- (1) Powers: After the award ceremony, I went by myself to Matt's room. (2) Powers: Matt was standing there in front of his room, still in his Nickel Samurai costume. (3) Powers: He was talking with someone. At first, I thought it was the bellboy. (4) Powers: I watched the two of them for a while, but then I gave up and went back. (5) Powers: I had guests with me that night, and I couldn't make them wait for me. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Nothing sounds out of place in Mr. Powers' testimony. Phoenix: (And talking with the bellboy is no big deal...) Edgeworth: If one assumes that the person Mr. Engarde was speaking with was an ordinary bellboy... Judge: Wh-What are you implying? Edgeworth: Well, Mr. Wright. Let's have your cross-examination, shall we? Mia: Looks like we're in another sticky situation. Phoenix: Huh? Mia: A trap. Can't you smell it, Phoenix? Mia: But for us to find out more, we're just going to have to charge in head first, right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Visit to Matt's Room -- (1) Powers: After the award ceremony, I went by myself to Matt's room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The defendant's room? Why did you go there? Powers: Well, I'm his mentor, like a big brother sort of, and I wanted to say congrats... Powers: ... Powers: ... Judge: Wh-What's wrong? Why did you stop? Powers: M-M-Mr. Wright! Phoenix: Wh-Wh-What is it? Powers: You... You're going to try to trick me into a corner, aren't you? Phoenix: Huh? Powers: I... I know I'm just a poor, underpaid action star, but... Powers: But... I... I'm not the killer! Phoenix: Um, no one said you were, Mr. Powers. Powers: No, please! Don't trick me! Powers: Every time you do your lawyer thing, the witness suddenly turns into the bad guy... Phoenix: ("Every time"...?) Edgeworth: ...Witness. Edgeworth: I will personally talk to the defense at a later time. Edgeworth: So for now, please kindly cooperate and continue with your testimony. Powers: S-Sorry... Judge: So, you went to the defendant's room. And then? Phoenix: (Hey, wait a minute! When and how did I suddenly turn into the bad guy here??) (2) Powers: Matt was standing there in front of his room, still in his Nickel Samurai costume. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you sure that was Matt Engarde? Powers: Yeah, I'm sure. He wasn't wearing the Nickel Samurai mask then. Phoenix: (If that's the case, then he really can't be mistaken...) Edgeworth: And? Edgeworth: What was the defendant doing, standing in front of his own room? (3) Powers: He was talking with someone. At first, I thought it was the bellboy. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: "At first"? What do you mean by that? *** Haven't pressed at (4) ***************** * * Powers: * Well, he was in a bellboy-ish * uniform and he had a bottle of * juice on a tray. * * Phoenix: * ...Sounds like an ordinary * bellboy to me. * * Powers: * Um, yeah, but... * * Powers: * I didn't think he was a normal * bellboy. * * Phoenix: * And why was that? * * Powers: * Um...

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So he gave the bellboy a tip. What's so strange about that? Powers: Ah, well, you see, Matt's not a poor penny-pincher like me. Powers: I was trying to figure out how much it was because the tip really shocked me. Phoenix: "How much it was"...? Powers: But that's when something even more surprising happened! Powers: The bellboy was putting the tip he got in his pocket. Powers: And that's when I got my first good look at the guy's face... Powers: I was really shocked! Judge: Hmm... I'm afraid I don't follow at all. Phoenix: (It sounds like Mr. Powers was surprised twice by this event.) Phoenix: (I wonder which of his shocking moments I should ask about...?) *** The bellboy's face ********************* * * Phoenix: * What was so shocking about * the bellboy's face, * Mr. Powers? * * Powers: * Well, he wasn't exactly a * "boy"... more like an old * "gramps"... * * Judge: * Ahem!

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: You saw the two of them, the bellboy and the defendant, together, correct? Powers: Yeah. The bellboy just wanted to say congrats. Phoenix: Now, while you were watching the two of them, did you notice anything strange? Powers: Um... You know, I did feel something weird. Powers: I think it was because Matt... Well, he gave the bellboy a tip. Phoenix: A tip? (But that's a perfectly normal thing to do...) Judge: So, how long did you watch the two of them? Powers: Ah, not more than a minute or two, I think. (5) Powers: I had guests with me that night, and I couldn't make them wait for me. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So who are these "guests" you're talking about? Powers: You guys, of course. You and Maya and little Pearl. Powers: I thought it would be really rude since I invited you guys, if I disappeared on you... Powers: So I went back to my seat pretty soon after seeing Matt in the hallway. Phoenix: (This is like squeezing water from a stone... It's probably pointless to press further...) -------------------------------------------- Mia: Do you remember this incident? Mia: Did Mr. Powers leave his seat that night? Phoenix: I don't remember that happening at all. Phoenix: Maya was making such a racket in her hyper state... Phoenix: I ended up focusing on her. Mia: ...I see. Mia: In any case, from his story, he probably wasn't gone for very long. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge: Ah, well... How interesting... Judge: That certainly was a very generous tip, wasn't it? Edgeworth: A very fat roll of cash... That can hardly be called a "tip", Your Honor! Judge: Hmm... Phoenix: (The judge is beginning to look awfully suspicious of us...) *** Raise an objection ********************* * * Phoenix: * *OBJECTION!* * * Phoenix: * The defendant is a superstar! * * Phoenix: * That kind of tip is typical * fare for people like him! * * Edgeworth: * *OBJECTION!* * * Edgeworth: * Are you saying that all * superstars are super- * spenders!? * * Edgeworth: * If I could receive large rolls * of cash by simply bringing * people things on trays... * * Edgeworth: * Then why on Earth would I * stand around here * prosecuting!? * * Phoenix: * (He's got a point...

Judge: Then what was it? Edgeworth: Payment, Your Honor. Phoenix: ...! Judge: Payment...? Edgeworth: Isn't it obvious? For the murder of Mr. Juan Corrida. Judge: Then... Then the bellboy the witness saw... Edgeworth: Yes, he was the assassin. Judge: H-Hold your horses now! Mr. Edgeworth, you don't have any proof of this... do you? Edgeworth: Have I ever been unprepared to support my claims, Your Honor? Edgeworth: I have here, the card Shelly de Killer left at the scene of the crime. Judge: Shelly... de Killer... Edgeworth: He is the person the police's special investigations team has been chasing for ages. Edgeworth: I am certain that the person the witness saw was this very assassin, Shelly de Killer! Powers: R-Really!? Judge: ...? What's wrong, Mr. Powers? Powers: No, nothing. Something just clicked in my head and I think I just figured something out! Judge: Oh? Powers: Actually, I saw that bellboy again later on that night! Phoenix: WHAAAT!? Judge: Mr. Powers! Please testify! Tell us what you saw! Powers: Yes, sir! Right away! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- The Second Time -- (1) Powers: This time, I was in that hallway because I had to go to the bathroom! (2) Powers: And that's when that bellboy I saw earlier came out of the room! (3) Powers: Of course, when I say "room", I mean Juan Corrida's room! (4) Powers: Now that I think about it, that bellboy did seem kinda out of place! (5) Powers: Yeah! So he had to be the assassin! I'm sure of it! (6) Powers: I mean... -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Thank you very much. That is all we need for now. Powers: Huh? Powers: But I'm not done. There's still more... Edgeworth: Let us first establish that the bellboy was truly Mr. de Killer. Then we shall see. Judge: Hmm... So the bellboy came out of the victim's room... Judge: And if that bellboy really was the assassin... Judge: Then, I think the answer is fairly obvious. Edgeworth: That would be correct, Your Honor. Edgeworth: Well, Mr. Wright. I believe it's your turn... to entertain and make us laugh. Phoenix: Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Mia: This is no laughing matter! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- The Second Time -- (1) Powers: This time, I was in that hallway because I had to go to the bathroom! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And what time was it? Powers: Ah, well, I don't remember. Powers: The award ceremony ended around 8 PM, right? Powers: ...And I went to Matt's room pretty soon after that... And then I came back... Powers: And then I went to the bathroom... Powers: ... Powers: So I guess maybe it was around 8:10 PM by that time? Judge: You're not one for details, are you Mr. Powers? Powers: S-Sorry... Powers: I thought I could maybe catch Matt and say my congrats... (2) Powers: And that's when that bellboy I saw earlier came out of the room! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you sure it was the same bellboy? Powers: Yeah. Phoenix: And how could you tell? Phoenix: All the bellboys wear the same uniform, after all! Powers: But, you see... Well, he had those stitches in his face. Phoenix: Urk. Powers: So I'm sure it's the same guy that was talking with Matt. Judge: Hmm... Edgeworth: So which room did the bellboy come out of? (3) Powers: Of course, when I say "room", I mean Juan Corrida's room! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The victim's room, huh...? Powers: Yeah. The one with all the really pretty flowers and teddy bears. Powers: It was Juan's room alright! Phoenix: (Words cannot describe how screwed I am...) Edgeworth: Hmph. Edgeworth: Let's continue with the testimony, shall we? (4) Powers: Now that I think about it, that bellboy did seem kinda out of place! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Um... so what exactly was so "out of place" about him? Edgeworth: Wright, Wright, Wright. Why the insipid grin? Phoenix: (Maybe because I have no idea what damaging thing he's going to say next...?) Powers: Um, well, the bellboy was empty-handed. Phoenix: Empty-handed? Powers: That bellboy was one of those room-service people, right? Powers: But he wasn't pushing a cart and he wasn't holding a tray either! Powers: You'd call that "a little strange" too, wouldn't you? Judge: Hmm... I agree that it is a bit strange, Mr. Powers. Phoenix: (But is it really that unusual for a bellboy to be empty- handed?) Phoenix: (What I should I do? Should I let Mr. Powers' testimony slide or...?) *** Let it slide. ************************** * * Phoenix: * You're right. * I think it's pretty unusual * too. * * Powers: * Ah, I thought you might think * so! * * Judge: * Hmm... * * Edgeworth: * Hmph. There's no need to say * anything when the defense * gives up without a fight. * * Edgeworth: * Let's move on. * * Judge: * Anyway, Mr. Powers. * You thought the bellboy was * a little suspicious, correct? * ******************************************** *** Try to pull a fast one. **************** * * Phoenix: * There is nothing strange or * unusual about an empty- * handed bellboy! * * Powers: * But there really, really is! * * Phoenix: * There really, really isn't! * * Edgeworth: * *OBJECTION!* * * Edgeworth: * If you two are done being * schoolchildren... * * Edgeworth: * Bellboys are for room service. * There is no reason for them * to be empty-handed, ever. * * Edgeworth: * Your Honor! I ask that the * witness' previous statement be * supplanted with this new one. * * Phoenix: * (Grr... Edgeworth...) * * Phoenix: * (Are you going to do whatever * you can to make the bellboy * look suspicious?) * * Judge: * I see. Very well, this court * recognizes and grants the * prosecution's request. * * Judge: * Mr. Powers, if you could amend * your testimony, please. * * Powers: * Y-Yes, sir. * * CHANGE (4) TO (4b) * ******************************************** (4b) Powers: I thought it was kinda strange for a bellboy to come out of a guest's room empty-handed! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you're saying that it's suspicious for him to be empty-handed? Powers: Yeah, really suspicious. Powers: I mean, when I first saw that bellboy, Powers: he was holding a tray in his hand! Powers: And there was a bottle of juice and a wine glass on it! Phoenix: Juice...? What kind of juice was it? Powers: Um, I'm pretty sure it was tomato juice... Mia: If we could come up with some sort of reason as to why he would come out empty-handed, Mia: some sort of proof, then I think we can dodge the bullet on this one for now. Phoenix: Proof, huh? (Sounds like another job for the Court Record!) (5) Powers: Yeah! So he had to be the assassin! I'm sure of it! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Please don't be so quick to judge! Powers: Ah, but it's kind of a Powers family thing. Powers: "Think of every person as a thief". Phoenix: (Well, I guess a thief and an assassin are both sneaky and silent...) Mia: That's not the point, Phoenix. -------------------------------------------- Mia: In any case, if that bellboy was the assassin, Mia: it would be very bad for us. Phoenix: But... he really is the assassin, you know? Mia: Yes... But. Mia: You can't give in yet. If you want to prolong this trial for as long as possible, Mia: you're going to have to pull some cheap tricks on this one. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Wine Glass or Crime Photo* at (4b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Mr. Powers. Powers: Y-Y-Yes? Phoenix: You're easily influenced by other people's words, aren't you? Phoenix: As soon as you heard that the bellboy might have been the killer, Phoenix: you got caught up in believing it must be true. Powers: But... But... Isn't he really suspicious!? Powers: He's got all those stitches, and... and... Phoenix: So? A baseball has stitches! Phoenix: Are you saying all baseballs are suspicious because they have stitches!? Powers: *gulp!* Powers: Well, there's also... I mean, what about him being empty-handed!? Phoenix: I would like to ask the court to please take a look here. Judge: This is... the crime scene... Phoenix: There is a wine glass sitting next to Mr. Corrida's body. Phoenix: The liquid inside this glass is tomato juice. Phoenix: And now, if you would look at what is on top of the table in the lower right corner here... Phoenix: Anyone can clearly see that it is a tray with a bottle of tomato juice on it! Phoenix: The bellboy had just brought this to Mr. Corrida's room. Phoenix: He left the tray in the room, which is why he was empty- handed when he left! Powers: Aah! Judge: B-But! Judge: That would mean that the bellboy had seen and left a dead body in the room! Phoenix: Ah, but can you prove that Mr. Corrida was already dead at that time? Judge: Uh... M-Mr. Edgeworth! Edgeworth: ...Yes? Judge: I-I blame you for leading me down this route! Edgeworth: Heh heh heh. I'm terribly sorry... Phoenix: (What is with him? Why is he laughing??) Edgeworth: Witness. Isn't there one more thing you would like to share with us? Powers: I-Is there? Edgeworth: The bellboy was empty- handed... Or should I say empty-"hand"ed? Edgeworth: I recall you had something interesting to say about his hands... Powers: Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Phoenix: Huh? Wh-What...? Powers: That bellboy -- he was wearing gloves! Phoenix: Gloves? Powers: Yeah, pitch black, leather ones. Powers: All the other bellboys don't wear gloves like that, right? Judge: Black leather gloves... Judge: Why didn't you mention them earlier!? Powers: S-Sorry... It slipped my mind. Phoenix: (Argh! Boy does this make the bellboy look really suspicious...) Phoenix: (Alright, got to focus. I can't get lax here!) Phoenix: So what if he had gloves? A lot of bellboys wear gloves! Powers: Come on, Mr. Wright! That bellboy was wearing black leather ones! Phoenix: So? A football is made of leather! Phoenix: Are you saying all footballs are suspicous because they are made of leather!? Powers: *gulp!* Judge: But that man... He received a large roll of cash from the defendant. Judge: And then he was seen leaving the crime scene wearing black leather gloves. Judge: I don't think that even some- one like myself can believe he was just another bellboy... Phoenix: Urgh... Edgeworth: It seems that we have finally come to an understanding... Edgeworth: Now then, witness. Please continue with the rest of your testimony. Phoenix: The rest...? Judge: Oh yes, please tell us more. Powers: OK! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Their Second Meeting -- (1) Powers: After leaving Juan's room, the bellboy went and knocked on Matt's door, just like that. (2) Powers: He gave something to the person inside the room. (3) Powers: Then the old guy just left, without even going into the room. (4) Powers: After that, I went to the bathroom and then back to my seat. -------------------------------------------- Judge: So the bellboy, after leaving the crime scene, next went to the defendant's room...? Powers: Yeah. I kinda saw all that by accident... Phoenix: (Some accident! I'd say you saw too much!) Phoenix: (And all of it was suspicious to high heaven...) Judge: Hmm... Judge: I think it's safe to say that we can no longer consider this bellboy to be "normal". Judge: Now then, let's get started, shall we? Mr. Wright, your cross-examination, please. Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Their Second Meeting -- (1) Powers: After leaving Juan's room, the bellboy went and knocked on Matt's door, just like that. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Is that what you saw while you were busy spying? Powers: E-Excuse me!? Powers: I may be a poor, underpaid action star, Powers: but even I wouldn't stoop to spying! Judge: Well, I think the point is where did you watch all this from, Mr. Powers? Powers: Oh, um, from the door of the bathroom with my left eye, in a sort of sneaky, spy-like... Phoenix: (I knew he was spying!) Edgeworth: Please, does it really matter if he was doing it over or underhandedly? Edgeworth: What did the bellboy do next? That's all I care to know. (2) Powers: He gave something to the person inside the room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: I said, "Hold it!" Powers: Umm... OK. Phoenix: That's better! *ahem* Phoenix: What kind of statement is that!? Please elaborate and give us a few more details! Powers: Oh, umm... OK... Phoenix: (Hmm, I should probably ask him only one question at a time...) *** Ask about the person inside ************ * * Phoenix: * So who took this "something" * the bellboy handed off? * * Powers: * Um, actually, I don't know. * * Phoenix: * What do you mean? * * Powers: * I'm sorry, but I only saw the * person's arm. * * Judge: * Only an arm...? * * Phoenix: * Then you're saying you didn't * see the person's face? * * Powers: * Yeah. * * Judge: * Well, it was Mr. Engarde's * room, correct? * * Judge: * So it could have only been * Mr. Engarde himself, I'd say. * * Edgeworth: * And then? What did the bellboy * do after that? * * Powers: * Oh, so after he gave the * person inside the room * the thing... * ******************************************** *** Ask about this "something" ************* * * Phoenix: * He gave "something" to this * person? * * Powers: * Yeah. * * Phoenix: * And what was this "something"? * * Powers: * Hah hah hah. * * Powers: * If I remembered what it was, * I wouldn't be calling it a * "something", would I? * * Judge: * But this implies that some- * thing was removed from the * scene of the crime! * * Judge: * Are you sure you really can't * remember, Mr. Powers? * * Powers: * Umm... I think it was * something kinda small... * * Edgeworth: * This is an incredibly crucial * piece of information. * * Edgeworth: * Please, try to remember what * it was. * * Powers: * Umm... I'll try... * * Edgeworth: * In the meantime, let's talk of * another point. Namely, what * the bellboy did next. * * Powers: * Oh, so after he gave the * person inside the room * the thing... * ******************************************** *** Don't ask anything ********************* * * Phoenix: * (I don't think I can find out * much more from Mr. Powers...) * * Phoenix: * (I should probably move on * to a different topic...) * * Phoenix: * So what did the bellboy do * after that? * ******************************************** (2b) Powers: If I saw it again, I could say for sure, but I think it was some sort of wooden statue. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: A statue? Powers: Yeah... It kinda looked like one I guess. Powers: If I saw the actual thing again, I'd probably remember, you know? Phoenix: (Looks like for this trial to proceed...) Phoenix: (I'm going to have to come up with whatever this "statue" thing is and show it to him.) Mia: You're going to have to trust your instinct on this one and take a chance, Phoenix. Judge: Well Mr. Powers, let's continue with your testimony. Judge: What did the bellboy do after that? (3) Powers: Then the old guy just left, without even going into the room. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Where did this bellboy go after he left Mr. Engarde's room? Powers: Hmm... He opened the door to Viola Hall, Powers: went in there, and who knows after that, right? Phoenix: (Nngh... I do...) (4) Powers: After that, I went to the bathroom and then back to my seat. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Did you see anything strange, suspicious, or just out of the ordinary at that time? Powers: Oh yeah, I saw that one thing! Phoenix: What!? (He saw something else!?) Powers: There was this jittery alien with a ray gun... Powers: It was watching Juan's door like some sort of stalker. Judge: ... Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: ... Um, I think we can forget about the alien... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: Well, Mr. Powers' testimony just now was just as vague as his first. Mia: It's a little troublesome, isn't it? Mia: But I'm sure if you press him enough, everything will become clearer. Mia: Although, that just makes it harder on us, doesn't it? Phoenix: Ugh... Talk about a lose-lose situation. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at (2) [+ first and second choice]* Edgeworth: I would like to summarize the testimony up to this point, if you don't mind. Edgeworth: When the bellboy left the crime scene, he immediately went to the defendant's room. Edgeworth: There, he handed a small item of some sort to the person inside. Edgeworth: As for the person who received the item, all you could see was the person's arm... Powers: Yes, yes! It was just like that! Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. Is all this really that important? Edgeworth: Of course, Your Honor. I think this is of the utmost importance. Edgeworth: This is when whatever was removed from the crime scene was handed over to the client! Judge: Hmm... Judge: Mr. Powers, please, try to remember what it was the bellboy handed off. Powers: Um... Well, let's see... Hmm... I think it was... No... Judge: If you remember, please add it to your testimony. Powers: Y-Yes, sir. ADD STATEMENT (2b) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Figurine* at (2b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: ... Powers: ... Edgeworth: ... Judge: ... Edgeworth: What was the point of that pregnant pause!? Judge: Where did that objection come from!? Well, speak up! Phoenix: Uh, it was me, Your Honor... Mia: What is it, Phoenix? Phoenix: I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen once I show this... Judge: Mr. Wright! If you have something to say, please spit it out! Phoenix: Y-Yes, Your Honor. (OK Phoenix, deep breath...) Phoenix: Mr. Powers. Phoenix: The "something" you saw... Was it this item? Powers: Oh, hey! That's it! That's the something! Powers: Wow, Mr. Wright. You really figured it out. Edgeworth: Hmm, I recall we found this at Matt Engarde's mansion... Judge: At the d-defendant's house!? Judge: What does this mean!? Edgeworth: It's simple, Your Honor. Edgeworth: Shelly de Killer assassinated Juan Corrida in his room. Edgeworth: And then he stole this wooden bear from the scene of the crime. Judge: Then, the bear being found at Mr. Engarde's mansion would mean... Edgeworth: It goes without saying, Your Honor. Edgeworth: Mr. Matt Engarde is De Killer's client! Judge: Order! Order! Order! ...I said ORDER!!! Judge: Mr. Wright. This is a most unfortunate turn of events for you. Phoenix: Yeah... Phoenix: Sorry, Mia. Mia: No, it's alright. Your judgment was sound. Mia: Actually, I figured the bear would come up. Mia: If not now, then it would have later on. Mia: Even if you hadn't shown it to the court, I'm sure your friend Edgeworth would've. Phoenix: (Ah, I almost forgot that he knew about it too...) Judge: Hmm... Judge: I think it is clear that there is no need for us to continue this trial. Phoenix: (I... I can't let this happen! I have to do something...) Phoenix: (There has to be something we've overlooked!) Phoenix: Your Honor! A minute, please! Judge: Y-Yes, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: There are still a few points left that we have not fully explored! Edgeworth: What are you trying to pull!? Judge: Oh... Well, we can't have that. Judge: Alright, Mr. Wright.

Phoenix: Reason number one. He accepted the bear figurine from the assassin. Phoenix: Reason number two. That very same figurine was found at Engarde Mansion. Phoenix: However! Phoenix: It's possible this is all the work of a certain other person! Judge: What are you saying...? Phoenix: What I am saying is, it's possible a different person is De Killer's real client! Judge: The "real" client...? Phoenix: Yes. Edgeworth: Tsk, tsk. Is this all you have? Phoenix: ... Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright. Let's hear your theory.

Phoenix: If you would please recall yesterday's testimony, Phoenix: the defendant was taking a nap during the break period. Judge: That's right... Judge: Then... finding this figure at Mr. Engarde's mansion...? Phoenix: It was a well-laid trap set by Ms. Andrews. Judge: ... Edgeworth: ... Powers: ... Judge: Mr. Edgeworth... What is your opinion on this? Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: I can't even begin to count the flaws in the defense's logic. Edgeworth: Besides which, there is no evidence to support it. Edgeworth: However... I can't fully discount its possibility either. Judge: Hmm... -------------------------------------------- ...What is with this trial...? ...Come on. Anyone can tell Engarde did it... ...I can't believe the defense would go so far as to pin the guilt onto someone else... ...Yeah! Unbelievable! It's not something petty; it's murder of all things...! Phoenix: (This is to save Maya... This is to save Maya...) Phoenix: (Even if the whole world turns against me, this is one fight I can't give up on!) Mia: ... Judge: Order! Order! Order! All disruptive parties will be forced to leave the courtroom! Edgeworth: Your Honor. Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: For the benefit of the defense, I'm willing to play along with his "what if" game. Judge: His "what if" game, Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: The prosecution is prepared to challenge the defense's theory. Phoenix: ...! Edgeworth: Mr. Wright. Even you must have thought it strange and wondered, Edgeworth: "Why would the criminal want this little wooden bear...?" Phoenix: (He's right...) Phoenix: (De Killer did specially bring that bear to Engarde right away...) Phoenix: Why do you ask? Is there something special about it? Edgeworth: Absolutely. Edgeworth: And I'm sure that once the court knows its significance, Edgeworth: the true killer's identity will become crystal clear. Edgeworth: Your Honor! Edgeworth: The prosecution calls upon a witness who will clear all doubts against Ms. Andrews. Judge: And who would that be!? Edgeworth: It's quite simple, Your Honor. Ms. Adrian Andrews herself. Judge: I see... Judge: Well then, the court will take a short 10 minute recess. Judge: The prosecution will prepare its witness in that time. Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 11:54 AM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Engarde: Hahaha... Engarde: Oh, I knew it was a good idea to hold her hostage. Don't you agree, Mister Lawyer...? Engarde: But I never thought in your desperation, you'd try to pin the guilt onto Adrian! Phoenix: ... (Aaaargh! I swear this demon will pay...) Pearl: Mr. Nick! Phoenix: P-Pearls? Where's Mia? Pearl: I... don't know... Pearl: A really strong power suddenly called her away... Phoenix: (A really strong power...?) Phone: ... Pearl: Oh, Mr. Nick! Your phone is... Phoenix: (It's from Gumshoe!) Phone: ...*beep*... Gumshoe: How is it going!? Have you been hanging in there, pal!? Phoenix: Y-Yeah, sort of... We just barely found something to latch onto. Gumshoe: Phew. That's good, pal. Phoenix: And what about you!? Anything yet!? Phoenix: Have you figured out where De Killer and Maya are!? Gumshoe: Um, uh... We still don't have any leads, but... Phoenix: WHAT!? We don't have any more time! Gumshoe: If we just had one! Even a single clue would be really helpful... Phoenix: (I was only able to come this far because I kept thinking to myself...) Phoenix: (I've got to keep the trial going until Maya's been rescued...) Phoenix: (But have I just run out of luck this time...? Is all our hope for naught...?) A tent! Phoenix: (Huh? A tent!?) I could see a circus tent! Phoenix: M-Mia! Mia: It looks like Maya was unconscious until just a few minutes ago. Mia: As soon as she woke up, she called for me. Phoenix: So it was Maya that called you away! Mia: She's locked in a dusty little room right now. Mia: But I could see a circus tent outside the window about 300 feet away! Phoenix: Gumshoe! Phoenix: Is there a circus in town right now!? Gumshoe: There's only one, pal! The Berry Big Circus! Phoenix: Maya is somewhere within a 300 feet radius of the main tent! Gumshoe: Wh-What!? ... OK, hold on a sec, pal! Gumshoe: Hey! Draw a circle on that map! About a 300 feet radius from the main tent! Hurry! Mia: And... Phoenix: And? Mia: I could see a mailbox under the window. Phoenix: Gumshoe! There's also a mailbox! Gumshoe: Hmm... OK! What else? Phoenix: What else, Mia!? Mia: I'm sorry, but it was a very small window. I couldn't see anything else... Mia: It felt like I was in an old office building... Maybe the third floor or so... Gumshoe: I heard her! An old office building. Good stuff, pal! Gumshoe: OK, just hang in there! Just a little longer, pal! Wish us luck! Phoenix: Good luck! Gumshoe: I'll call you later, so don't let your battery die, OK pal!? Phone: ...*beep*... Phoenix: Mia! Maya's not hurt, right!? Mia: She's in a pretty bad state, Phoenix. She's being starved. Phoenix: (Gumshoe! Please hurry!!) Mia: Looks like we're out of time. Are you alright, Phoenix? Phoenix: (It's only a matter of time before Maya's rescued...) Phoenix: (I can do this! I just have to make this trial last a little longer!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 12:05 PM District Court Courtroom No. 3 Judge: Court will now reconvene. Edgeworth: De Killer, the man who murdered the victim, handed this to his client. Edgeworth: From this, one obvious question arises. "Why this particular item?" Edgeworth: I believe the answer to that question will provide us with the name of the real criminal. Edgeworth: Now then, the prosecution calls the defendant's manager, Adrian Andrews, to the stand! -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Currently, the witness is accused of tampering and obstruction of justice. Andrews: ... Edgeworth: However, you have been called to the witness stand today to ascertain... Edgeworth: who exactly is guilty of murder. Andrews: I understand. Edgeworth: Very good. Now, have you ever seen this bear before, Ms. Andrews? Andrews: Of course I have. Judge: You have seen it before? Edgeworth: That's right. It's only natural that the witness has. Edgeworth: Ms. Andrews. Could you please enlighten the court to this bear's secrets? Andrews: Alright. Phoenix: (Why... Why does she...??) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- The Bear Figurine -- (1) Andrews: Actually, this is an elaborate puzzle. (2) Andrews: If you know the correct order, it can be taken apart one piece at a time. (3) Andrews: At its center is a small cavity, with just enough room to store a small item. (4) Andrews: Because of its complexity, if you don't know the order, you can't open the bear. (5) Andrews: You really can't tell that it's a small "jewelry box" just by looking at it. -------------------------------------------- Judge: So this figurine... it's a container of sorts, is it...? Andrews: Yes. Looks can be deceiving, wouldn't you agree? Judge: Yes. This is superb craftmanship. Judge: ...Oh, yes, I nearly forgot. You may begin your cross- examination, Mr. Wright. Mia: It looks like there really was something to that bear after all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- The Bear Figurine -- (1) Andrews: Actually, this is an elaborate puzzle. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: A puzzle? Andrews: That's right. Judge: Hmm... But it looks like an ordinary figurine... Phoenix: (True enough...) Phoenix: (To people who don't know, I'm sure they would never guess that this was a puzzle...) Phoenix: So what kind of puzzle is this exactly? (2) Andrews: If you know the correct order, it can be taken apart one piece at a time. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you can "take it apart"? And how would one go about doing that? Andrews: Well, you first turn its tail to the right and then push it in. Judge: ...Oh, yes, I see. Andrews: After that, the arms and legs are free to move and can be removed. Judge: Ooh... This is most interesting... Phoenix: (A boy and his new toy... It's like he's 5 all over again...) Judge: ......... ......... ......... Judge: ...Oh, don't mind me. Go ahead and carry on. Phoenix: (I think he's lost it...) Edgeworth: So what do you find after you take the puzzle apart? (3) Andrews: At its center is a small cavity, with just enough room to store a small item. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And how do you know about this...? Andrews: I know because I was the one who bought it. Phoenix: Huh!? Andrews: It was a souvenir from when a friend and I went to Switzerland. Judge: Then, this... this was a present from you!? Andrews: That's right. Andrews: It was a puzzle in the shape of a bear, so I thought it would be perfect for Juan. Phoenix: (So it was a present from Ms. Andrews...) Edgeworth: Witness, let's continue with your testimony. (4) Andrews: Because of its complexity, if you don't know the order, you can't open the bear. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So who exactly knew how to solve this puzzle? Andrews: Only the two of us, Juan and myself. Andrews: It was a souvenir from Switzerland... Andrews: So I doubt there are that many people with this same bear in this country. Judge: But this looks like it can be easily broken. Judge: Especially if someone wanted to get what was inside. Andrews: Well, it's a toy. Andrews: But it can never be the same again once it's been broken. (5) Andrews: You really can't tell that it's a small "jewelry box" just by looking at it. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Who else knows that this bear is actually a small container or "jewelry box"? Andrews: I never told anyone. Andrews: And as long as Juan never told anyone either, then only the two of us knew... Phoenix: The two of you, huh... Phoenix: Then of course that means Mr. Engarde didn't know, right? Andrews: ... -------------------------------------------- Mia: We don't know anything about this figurine. Mia: So we should try to find out more for now. Phoenix: Yeah, I'll keep pressing her for more information. RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *After pressing at all statements* Phoenix: (I think this is about all I'm going to get for now...) *Figurine updated in the Court Record.* Edgeworth: Well, Mr. Wright? Edgeworth: I think even you have come to realize... Phoenix: ...? Edgeworth: That there is one very important fact we have uncovered, and that is this: Edgeworth: This bear is actually a "jewelry box". Judge: Hmm... Edgeworth: Now that we have agreed to this point, Edgeworth: there is only one logical question that can come next. And that is this: Edgeworth: What is inside this box? Judge: What's inside!? Edgeworth: That's right. That's what we are going to find out next. Witness. Andrews: Yes? Edgeworth: You are the only one who can open this. Edgeworth: Please... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (There's a painful silence hanging over the courtroom...) Phoenix: (All eyes are on Ms. Andrews now as she solves the puzzle, and takes the bear apart...) ...*click*... Andrews: I've opened it. Andrews: Is this what you wanted? Judge: Wh-What is that? It looks like a... note... Edgeworth: I don't think we need to guess at what that is... Do we, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: It's the suicide note. Judge: The suicide note? Edgeworth: The suicide note left by Juan Corrida's former manager, Celeste Inpax. Edgeworth: Until now, no one knew of its whereabouts... But just as we suspected, it was hidden. Edgeworth: Hidden by the victim, Juan Corrida himself. Edgeworth: It seems Celeste Inpax had very beautiful handwriting. Edgeworth: And she just as beautifully signed her own name on this document. Edgeworth: This is most definitely the note she left right before she committed suicide! Judge: O-ORDER! Judge: Witness! Did you know about this...? Andrews: ...Yes, I did. I heard all about it from Juan. Andrews: When I discovered his body... I looked for the bear. Andrews: I wanted to destroy the note before it became public. Andrews: But... I couldn't find it anywhere. Edgeworth: Because it had already been taken by De Killer. Mia: Everything is going at Mr. Edgeworth's pace... Mia: So now that the suicide note has been found, what's the next logical question? Phoenix: "What is written on the note...?" Mia: That's right... At least, that's what I would think... Edgeworth: Now then, I believe it is only appropriate the contents of this note be made known. Andrews: I can't stop you, can I...? Andrews: I went through so much... just to get my hands on it. Andrews: And I was going to burn it... for her sake. Edgeworth: I'm deeply sorry, but I can't allow you to persuade me to stop. Edgeworth: Your Honor. If you could please read the contents of this note aloud. Judge: Very well... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: The judge's voice rang loud and clear though the dead silent courtroom... Phoenix: In her note, Celeste Inpax left to us a record of all that had happened to her... Phoenix: About being used and then thrown away by Engarde... Phoenix: About being engaged to Corrida, and Engarde's role in destroying that... Phoenix: And about how she decided, in her despair, to end it all. -------------------------------------------- Judge: ... And that's all Ms. Inpax had to say. Edgeworth: There is one thing I would like to say here. Edgeworth: The prosecution has no interest in slandering Mr. Engarde. Judge: Then... What...? Edgeworth: Our intention, Your Honor, is to establish a motive for murder. Edgeworth: Isn't that correct, witness? Andrews: Yes... Andrews: On the night of the murder, Juan was going to make the contents of the note public. Andrews: After the post-ceremony show... he was going to hold a press conference. Judge: My word... Edgeworth: Matt Engarde values above all else, his "refreshing like a spring breeze" image. Edgeworth: Which is why he had to stop this note from being made public... Edgeworth: At any cost! *Celeste's Suicide Note added to the Court Record.* -------------------------------------------- ...It's Engarde's fault that woman killed herself... ...And this time, he even went so far as to kill someone to stop him from revealing that! ...How terrible...! What a selfish person...! I guess there are slimeball lawyers out there who will defend these creeps too! Edgeworth: There is no margin for doubt here. Edgeworth: Mr. de Killer's client's goal was to obtain this suicide note. Edgeworth: And the only person who needed this note that badly is the defendant. Edgeworth: Let's not forget that the bear with the note inside was found at the defendant's house! Judge: It seems that we have come to the truth at last. Judge: The defendant's motives were entirely selfish. He deserves no sympathy from anyone! Phoenix: Urk... (How am I supposed to escape from this one!?) Mia: Why the hesitation, Phoenix? Mia: Gumshoe hasn't called yet, so you know what you must do. Phoenix: (I know. I have to carry on and buy him some more time!) Phoenix: (OK. There are 2 deadly pieces of evidence: the figurine and the suicide note.) Phoenix: (Maybe somehow, I can find a way out of this situation through one of those!) Mia: The gavel is already in the judge's hand! Phoenix! Hurry! Phoenix: (The suicide note or the figurine!? Which one of these should I pursue??) *** Celeste's Suicide Note ***************** * * Phoenix: * *OBJECTION!* * * Phoenix: * Please wait, Your Honor! * * ...Oh man, look at that * lawyer... * * ...He's still going at it...? * * ...It's like he doesn't care * that he's trying to get a * killer off the hook! * * Phoenix: * I think Your Honor believes * that Matt Engarde killed in * order to obtain this note. * * Judge: * Yes, that is correct. * * Phoenix: * But that seems a little * strange. * * Phoenix: * In fact, I think there is a * contradiction here! * * Edgeworth: * ... * * Phoenix: * This note was hidden by * Mr. Corrida until the night of * the murder. * * Phoenix: * If that is the case... * * Phoenix: * I say that Matt Engarde could * not have known what was * written on this note! * * Judge: * Oh!

Order! Order! Judge: Y-You make a valid point, Mr. Wright! Judge: Mr. Edgeworth! What is your opinion!? Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: (It was just a flash, but I think I did rather well on this one...) Mia: Unfortunately... Mia: I think he believes differently. Edgeworth: I believe a show of appreciation is in order. Judge: H-Huh? Edgeworth: The defense seems to be in love with wishing more despair upon itself. Phoenix: ...! Edgeworth: I would like to direct the court's attention to this. Judge: What is that...? Edgeworth: It is a very small video camera, Your Honor. Edgeworth: This type of camera is commonly used as a means of spying. Judge: S-Spying...? Phoenix: (What the...!?) Phoenix: (I thought that spy camera was in my possession...) Edgeworth: Matt Engarde and the victim both thought of the other as their biggest rival. Edgeworth: They even went so far as to use this type of item to find each other's weaknesses! Judge: And...? Edgeworth: The victim, Juan Corrida, was being spied on! Edgeworth: His personal life was being watched by none other than Matt Engarde! Judge: Order! Oooooorder!! Ahem! Mr. Wright! Phoenix: Y-Yes, Your Honor? Judge: You... Don't tell me you knew about your client's spying activities!? Phoenix: Well... sort of... Judge: "Sort of" is not an acceptable answer, Mr. Wright! Edgeworth: I see you are confused, Mr. Wright. Edgeworth: You're probably thinking, "But I have the camera that was in the stuffed bear's eye..." Phoenix: ...! Edgeworth: But this camera that I have is not that same one. Edgeworth: Last night, I searched the victim's house on a hunch... Edgeworth: Using this... Phoenix: (Gumshoe's bug sweeper...) Edgeworth: By the way, Mr. Wright. The defendant's fingerprints were found on this camera. Judge: Matt Engarde's fingerprints were on there!? Mia: Well, Phoenix... Mia: It looks like those cameras were hidden all over the place, huh? Phoenix: (What am I supposed to say to that evidence...?) Edgeworth: I think this is the end. Edgeworth: It's fairly obvious that Mr. Engarde learned of the suicide note through this. Edgeworth: He was watching the victim all along. Phoenix: (He got me good this time! I don't have anything to counter that!) -------------------------------------------- ...Hey, hey... Now what's that lawyer thinking...? ...Mommy? Is that man the bad killer guy? ...Shush! Stop! Don't look at him! ...The way he's sweating is just so... Eww... Nasty... Mia: Phoenix... Phoenix: Yes, Chief!? Mia: Have you figured out what you're going to do next yet? Phoenix: What I'm going to do next!? (Does running away like a frightened child work?) Mia: I know it seems like Mr. Edgeworth is very close to putting the lid on this case. Mia: But... Mia: In his eagerness to prove his point, he forgot one very important thing. Phoenix: Well, what is it, Mia!? Mia: There is a piece of evidence that he really should investigate. Phoenix: (Something he should investigate?) Mia: I would really hate to see the good prosecutor get scolded... Mia: For not remembering to look into the item when he had the chance. Phoenix: (Why are you speaking in riddles all of a sudden...?) Judge: Alright, I think this time we finally understand everything. Judge: Well, Mr. Wright? You don't have any further objections, do you? Phoenix: (What is this piece of evidence that Mia is talking about...?)

Ms. Inpax's suicide note, right? Phoenix: Hmm... Who knows? Edgeworth: ...! Phoenix: I mean, sure, this "suicide note" was found inside this bear. Phoenix: But this bear was in my possession until a few moments ago. Phoenix: Which means... Phoenix: The handwriting on this "suicide note" has yet to be analyzed! Judge: Oh... Phoenix: So! Phoenix: As to whether this pivotal piece of evidence was really written by Ms. Inpax or not... Phoenix: Has yet to be even remotely confirmed! Judge: M-Mr. Wright! You can't seriously be suggesting... Andrews: Mr. Wright! Andrews: You... Are you saying this suicide note is a fake!? Phoenix: Ms. Andrews... Phoenix: You were the one who tried to pin this murder on Mr. Engarde. Phoenix: Who's to say you didn't create a fake "suicide note" and put it into this bear!? Andrews: H-How dare you!? Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Your Honor. The defense is indiscriminately accusing the witness again! Edgeworth: There is no evidence linking the witness to the suicide note whatsoever! Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: But if this is a fake, then the witness is the only person who could have made it! Edgeworth: What!? Phoenix: Recall the witness' testimony concerning this figurine! Phoenix: The only person other than the victim who could solve the puzzle is the witness herself! Andrews: Ahh! Phoenix: Ms. Andrews! Phoenix: You wrote this note, didn't you? Phoenix: You wrote it so you could use it to frame Matt Engarde! Andrews: I... Andrews: I did no such thing! Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Wright! If you're going to pronounce this suicide note a fake... Edgeworth: Then show this court some evidence to support your theory! Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Mr. Edgeworth! You were the one who presented this scrap of paper as evidence! Phoenix: That means the burden of proof lies with you, the prosecution! Edgeworth: Uuugn! Judge: That's enough! Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. Can you confirm the handwriting on this suicide note...? Edgeworth: It is as the defense has stated! The handwriting has yet to be analyzed! Judge: If that's the case... Judge: It seems that yet again we have reached a point where a verdict is impossible. Edgeworth: Imposs... Edgeworth: That's impossible! Mia: This isn't good, Phoenix. Phoenix: (The judge is going to carry this trial over one more day.) Phoenix: (I don't think Maya will physically be able to make it another day!) Judge: I didn't want to have to do this, but I don't have a choice. Judge: I request that both the prosecution and defense further investigate... ...Handwriting analysis my butt! That's just the lawyer trying to buy more time! ...Engarde is guilty! Look, any idiot can tell you that! Mia: I think we've reached the end of the line... ...Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!... ...Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!... ...Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phone: ... Judge: Wh-What is that sound!? Phoenix: (It's Gumshoe!) Phone: ...*beep*... Phoenix: Hello!? Gumshoe!? Gumshoe: ... *sigh*... Phoenix: (What is with him!? And what's with that sigh!?) Phoenix: Where's Maya!? What happened to De Killer!? Gumshoe: He, uh... Gumshoe: He got away... Phoenix: WHAT!? Gumshoe: I'm sorry, pal! I really am! I don't know what to say besides I'm sorry. Gumshoe: I wish there was some way to make it up to you! I really do!

Judge: It appears that I have no choice but to suspend proceedings until tomorrow! Phoenix: (I... This time, I really can't do anything...) Judge: Court is now adjourned for the day! Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Please wait, Your Honor. Phoenix: (E-Edgeworth!?) Judge: Wh-What is it, Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: I humbly request another 30 minutes of Your Honor's time. Judge: For what purpose? Edgeworth: We can perform the necessary tests on this piece of evidence in that time! Judge: Hmm... But can you really obtain your results in 30 minutes? Edgeworth: I believe we can, Your Honor. Judge: But wouldn't it be better if we adjourned for today and then reconvened tomorrow...? Edgeworth: Thirty minutes. Please, Your Honor. That's all I am asking for. Phoenix: Please! Your Honor! Judge: ... Judge: Very well. Phoenix: ...! Judge: At the prosecution's request, this court will now take a 30 minute recess. Judge: But be advised that I will not allow another recess today. Phoenix: (I'm not sure if this is helping... or hurting us...) Judge: The court will now take its final recess of the day! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 2:04 PM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Edgeworth: Wright! Well!? What's going on with Maya's situation!? Phoenix: De Killer... It looks like he got away again. Phoenix: Thirty minutes...? We can't find her in that time... Edgeworth: Unnngh... Phone: ... Phone: ...*beep*... Edgeworth: Report! Gumshoe: Ah! I-Is that Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: We don't have time! Just spit it out! Gumshoe: R-Right! Gumshoe: It looks like we just missed them, sir. Gumshoe: But De Killer left a few things behind by accident in his rush to get away. Edgeworth: A few things...? Phoenix: Can we use any of them as evidence? Gumshoe: Ho ho ho. I thought you'd ask, pal! Phoenix: ...? Gumshoe: I've got the things he left with me right now and I'm on my way over! Phoenix: Really!? Edgeworth: That's odd. Any items like that are usually sent to the crime lab first... Gumshoe: We don't have time to wait for those guys, sir! Gumshoe: When those guys weren't looking, I swiped the stuff and ran! Edgeworth: What!? Gumshoe: Well... I'm not a detective anymore, so I had to... Gumshoe: I'm really sorry, sir, but I've got to put the law on hold for now! Phoenix: (Sounds bad... I hope he doesn't get in too much trouble over this...) Gumshoe: With my hunk of junk car, I'd say I'll be there in about 20 minutes, sir! Gumshoe: Don't worry! I'll be there! Wait for me! Edgeworth: A-Alright... Just get here in one piece. Gumshoe: I'm on a mission and no one can stop me now, sir! No one! Gumshoe: I'm pulling out all the stops and running every red light! Phoenix: (Items left by the murderer, huh...) Phoenix: (Maybe there's something among them that will be decisive enough to end this!) -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Hey!

Edgeworth: But we have no idea where he is. Edgeworth: His cell phone is broken, and he wasn't driving a patrol car, so no radio either. Edgeworth: Also... Edgeworth: If we don't get to those items before they do, the police will take possessions of them. Phoenix: No! We can't let that happen! Edgeworth: Well, if there is a way we can find out where he is, then we stand a chance... Phoenix: (Why, oh why did Gumshoe have to get into an accident now!?)

Edgeworth: What is it? Phoenix: I don't have any right to judge anyone ever again... Edgeworth: ... Phoenix: I know my client is guilty. Phoenix: But what I'm doing now... Phoenix: I'm pinning the guilt onto someone totally innocent, and using the evidence to do so... Phoenix: ... Phoenix: It might be my turn to say, "Defense Attorney Phoenix Wright chooses death"... Edgeworth: Wright. Edgeworth: It doesn't suit someone like you to cry useless tears. Edgeworth: Whether you did your job well or not... Edgeworth: That can only be seen after the verdict has been decided. Phoenix: The verdict... Bailiff: Is Prosecutor Edgeworth here!? Edgeworth: Yes, bailiff? Bailiff: There's a phone call for you, sir. They said it was extremely urgent. Edgeworth: They're probably finished with the handwriting analysis. Edgeworth: I have to go take this call. Edgeworth: In the mean time, think hard about what it is you must do. To be continued. _______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 4-2: Trial [0448] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� March 23, 2:35 PM District Court Courtroom No. 3 Judge: Court will now reconvene. I assume both sides are ready? Phoenix: Y-Yes, Your Honor... Edgeworth: Y-Yes, Your Honor... Judge: ...I can understand the defense acting like this, Judge: however, why do you also seem distraught, Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: I... that is... It's nothing, Your Honor. Phoenix: (What's wrong with Edgeworth...?) Mia: It looks like something unexpected just happened to him. Judge: Now then, Mr. Edgeworth. If you could please tell the court the results of the Judge: handwriting analysis on Ms. Inpax's suicide note... Edgeworth: Y...Yes, Your Honor. Unfortunately... Edgeworth: We have discovered that this suicide note is a forgery. Phoenix: What!? Judge: What do you mean, Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: This... This note was not written by Ms. Inpax herself! It is a fake! Judge: Order! Order! Order! Mr. Edgeworth! Would you care to explain what is going on!? Judge: If this was not written by Ms. Inpax, then who wrote it!? Edgeworth: We would need more time to do a more detailed analysis, however... Edgeworth: It appears that the handwriting matches that of the victim, Mr. Juan Corrida. Phoenix: Mr. C-Corrida...? Mia: Well, well... Mia: It looks like Ms. Inpax never left a suicide note after all. Mia: She never wrote anything about Engarde... Edgeworth: However! Edgeworth: Your Honor. Even though this suicide note is indeed a fake, Edgeworth: Mr. Engarde could not have known that, and so that facts remain unchanged! Edgeworth: Acting under the assumption that it was real, he had plotted to possess it! Judge: Hmm... That does sound very plausible. Phoenix: (This theory that Engarde had no idea that the suicide note was fake...) Phoenix: (Something seems a little wrong with it...) *** Present evidence *********************** * * Phoenix: * The defense believes that the * theory the prosecution has * stated contradicts testimony! * * Phoenix: * If everything the prosecution * has proven up to this point * is true... * * Phoenix: * Then it's impossible for * Mr. Engarde to not have know * it was a fake! * * xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * x * x Phoenix: * x *TAKE THAT!* * x * x Judge: * x Well, Mr. Edgeworth?? * x Your response? * x * x Edgeworth: * x I believe that even more * x important than finding out if * x this note is real or not, * x * x Edgeworth: * x is whether the attorney's * x badge pinned to that man's * x chest is real... * x * x Edgeworth: * x That is the million dollar * x question! * x * x Judge: * x Yes, I agree. * x * x Mia: * x Me too. * x * x Phoenix: * x (I'm going to take a wild * x guess and say that I messed * x up again...?) * x * x GO TO "Back down" OPTION (for double penalty!) * x * xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * * *Present Spy Camera or Transmitter or Stuffed Bear* * * Phoenix: * *TAKE THAT!* * * Judge: * What is this little item * called again...? * * Phoenix: * Um, a video camera, Your * Honor.

Judge: And if that's true, then the situation has suddenly changed in a very dramatic way. Phoenix: Exactly, Your Honor! Phoenix: The prosecution's theory as to what Mr. Engarde's motive for murder was... Phoenix: It has suddenly disappeared into thin air! Edgeworth: But Your Honor! Edgeworth: It's not as if Mr. Engarde monitored Mr. Corrida 24 hours a day! Edgeworth: Perhaps the victim wrote the note in a place Mr. Engarde didn't know of! Phoenix: Well, right back at you, Mr. Edgeworth! Phoenix: Why don't you show us some proof that the victim made the forgery at an unknown place!? Edgeworth: Gnnngh! Judge: Order! Order! Order! ...Mr. Edgeworth. Judge: It looks like this time, it is you who has dug his own grave. Edgeworth: Unnnngh... As I figured... Judge: Huh? ...As you figured...? Edgeworth: As I figured... It came down to this after all... Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you are not making any sense... Edgeworth: When I heard the results of the handwriting analysis, I thought this might happen. Edgeworth: The question is... "What next?" Phoenix: What next...?? Edgeworth: If the prosecution can't prove Mr. Engarde's motive through the evidence, Edgeworth: then we must prove it from another angle. Judge: Well, I agree with you there... Edgeworth: Your Honor. Edgeworth: The prosecution... would like to call a witness to the stand at this time... Judge: Oh. Well, that's fine. Edgeworth: However... this witness... This witness is a little... unusual... Phoenix: (Edgeworth stuttering...? This is not like him at all.) Judge: Unusual? Well, what sort of witness is this person, Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: This witness is one who is perfectly fit to answer once and for all the question of, Edgeworth: "Who was it that hired Shelly de Killer to commit murder?" Phoenix: That's impossible!! Who in the...!? Phoenix: No such person exists who can answer that question with such certainty! Judge: Y-Yes! Mr. Edgeworth! Who is this witness!? Edgeworth: It is... It's... um... Judge: Yes!? Go on! Who is it!? Edgeworth: The man himself... Mr. Shelly de Killer. Judge: Oh, Mr. de Killer. Judge: ... Judge: W-W-Waaaaait!! Shelly de Killer!? Judge: Um, you mean... The killer? Err... I mean the assassin? Edgeworth: Yes... Your Honor. Judge: He's coming here? To the witness stand...? Edgeworth: Well, yes, in a manner of speaking... Edgeworth: I recognize that this is a very unusual circumstance, so I ask for your permission. Judge: Hmm... Well, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: Y-Yes? Judge: Is this alright with you? Phoenix: (Do I have a choice here...?) Phoenix: (I can't really do much else to drag this trial out...) Phoenix: The defense has no objections, Your Honor. Judge: I wonder if it really is alright to do this...? Edgeworth: Very well then. The prosecution calls our witness to the stand! Phoenix: (Edgeworth... Is there no other way left to us...?) -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: Now then, witness. Edgeworth: ...Um, your name... and your, uh... occupation, please. de Killer: Very good, sir. de Killer: My name is Shelly de Killer, and I am a professional assassin. Judge: I... I say!! Judge: Wh-What is going on here!? Edgeworth: Your Honor? Judge: How can you remain so calm? And what is the meaning of this two-way radio...? Edgeworth: Actually, Your Honor, it was delivered to me just now... And it came with a condition. Edgeworth: As long as we do not trace its source, Mr. de Killer will testify to this court. Phoenix: (So this must be what that urgent phone call he got earlier was about...) Judge: Oh no, this will not do. I cannot allow this in my court. Judge: First of all, we can't even be sure this is really Mr. de Killer himself! Edgeworth: Witness. Please present some sort of proof that you are in fact Shelly de Killer. de Killer: I understand. Please wait a second. Judge: ...? ? ? ?: ... Maya: ... I'm... sooo... hungry... Phoenix: M-M-Maya! Mia: Maya! Judge: A... A voice! Mr. Wright! Can you confirm anything from this!? Phoenix: The defense has no objections to this person! Phoenix: We are satisfied that this man is indeed Shelly de Killer! Judge: It looks like we have run into yet another unexpected turn of events... Judge: Well, it doesn't seem like we have too many choices under these circumstances, so... Edgeworth: ...Now then, witness. Edgeworth: There is one thing I would like to confirm before we speak of anything else. de Killer: And what would that be? Edgeworth: At the request of a client, you killed Mr. Juan Corrida. Is this correct? de Killer: ... de Killer: It is as you say. I did indeed kill Mr. Corrida. Judge: *gulp* Edgeworth: Now that we have answered that, let's move on to the name of your client! de Killer: ...Very well. Judge: This is all just a bad dream... Yes, that's it, a bad dream... Phoenix: (Shelly de Killer... What is he going to say...?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- About My Client -- (1) de Killer: There is something I must first state. (2) de Killer: To an assassin, nothing is more important than the trust between a client and himself. (3) de Killer: And that is the reason I am here today on this witness stand. (4) de Killer: It is my wish that you grasp this concept before I give the name of my client. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm, Mr. de Killer seems to be a very clever man. Judge: I'd almost say he seems to be mocking us. Edgeworth: While he may appear to be our enemy, Your Honor, Edgeworth: Mr. de Killer is only stating the truth. Edgeworth: He is no hypocrite. He has always stood by this one belief. Judge: You mean about this "trust between his clients and himself" thing? Judge: Hmm, it seems to be a level of trust beyond what people like me can comprehend. Judge: ...Well, Mr. Wright? Are you ready to cross- examine the witness? Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor. Mia: There's no way to know what's coming next, so stay cool and collected, Phoenix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- About My Client -- (1) de Killer: There is something I must first state. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: We can hear anything you have to say later. Can you please just tell us your client's...? de Killer: I don't think you understand your place, Mr. Attorney. de Killer: I said this is something I must first state. Do you know what the word "first" means? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: S-Sorry... Go on... Judge: Well, it appears this is one witness you can't badger, Mr. Wright. Phoenix: (That's only because you don't know about Maya's situation...) (2) de Killer: To an assassin, nothing is more important than the trust between a client and himself. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: The trust between you and your client...? de Killer: I provide my services in a fast and efficient manner. de Killer: In exchange, I trust that my clients are discreet about me and my identity. *** Haven't pressed at (2) THEN (3) ******** * * de Killer: * If too many people knew my * face, it would be quite * troublesome. * * Judge: * And that is why you're * testifying in this manner? * * de Killer: * This is the first time one of * my clients has ever been * accused of murder. * * de Killer: * I must preserve the De Killer * name so my clients can trust * me. * * Phoenix: * But couldn't someone stab you * in the back and break your * trust? * * de Killer: * It has never happened before, * but if it ever did... * * Phoenix: * Y-Yes...? * * de Killer: * That person wouldn't be my * client for very long. * * de Killer: * They would certainly... * * Judge: * Th-That's enough! * Please, no more! * * de Killer: * Very well. It was only * a hypothetical anyway. * ******************************************** *** After pressing at (2) THEN (3) ********* * * de Killer: * These are the roles and duties * an assassin and his client are * to carry out. * * Phoenix: * I'm sorry, but I was wondering * about something you just said. * * Phoenix: * You said that your client had * already "broken the rules"... * * de Killer: * A person who frames another * is the worst kind of human. * * Phoenix: * And that's why you feel you * can betray this person? * * de Killer: * I have no trust relation with * a client who can't understand * their assigned role. * * Phoenix: * (Just my luck... An assassin * with a conscience. * Who would've figured...?) * * de Killer: * Now then, everyone. * Do you think you can * understand my logic? * * Phoenix: * (This case just keeps * getting better and better!) * * de Killer: * If you can't, then I'm afraid * we can't proceed... * * Phoenix: * Everyone understands your * point, I think. Really. * * de Killer: * In that case... * * de Killer: * I believe I am prepared to * disclose the information * you seek. * * Edgeworth: * You have made it crystal clear * that you value trust over all * else. I believe we are ready. * * de Killer: * ...Excellent. * * CHANGE (4) TO (4b) * ******************************************** (3) de Killer: And that is the reason I am here today on this witness stand. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: That seems a little strange to me... Phoenix: I mean, you're about to tell us the name of your client. Phoenix: I would think that this would be very bad for them. de Killer: It doesn't matter to me. de Killer: This client has already broken the rules and acted outside of their prescribed role. Judge: Their role...? de Killer: This person tried to implicate another of the crime in order to save themselves. de Killer: And this is a trespass that cannot be forgiven. Judge: You... Who gave you the right to be so high and mighty...!? de Killer: To the gentleman who spoke just now... Excuse me, but would you care to die? Judge: Ah, no! No! I, uh, didn't say anything! Phoenix: (The judge had better watch himself...) (4) de Killer: It is my wish that you grasp this concept before I give the name of my client. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: We understand, so please tell us the name of your client!! de Killer: I'm afraid I cannot do that. de Killer: I still have a few things to say before I do. Phoenix: (Aaargh! That egomaniacal...) de Killer: It's not good for your health to be so aggravated. de Killer: You won't live very long if you let everything bother you... Phoenix: (Somehow, that coming from an assassin makes it less than comforting...) (4b) de Killer: Now then, I do believe it's about time I revealed the name of my client, don't you agree? Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: ... Judge: What is it? Phoenix: (Umm... Now I can't bring myself to ask the client's name...) Edgeworth: If you can't ask it, Mr. Wright, then I will. Edgeworth: Witness! Edgeworth: What is the name of your client who requested the murder of Mr. Juan Corrida!? de Killer: That person's name is... CONTINUE TO THE NEXT PART -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (I don't really care about all this extra fluff. Just tell us the name already!) Mia: Patience. Try to calm down a little. It's important to try and understand his mindset. Mia: He seems very steadfast and closed so you're going to have to work to get him to talk. Phoenix: (I'm not his therapist, you know...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: ... Judge: ... de Killer: ...Adrian Andrews... Phoenix/Edgeworth/Judge: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!? Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: W-Witness!! Edgeworth: That's not who you told me it was earlier! Phoenix: ...! de Killer: Pray tell, what are you talking about, Mr. Prosecutor? de Killer: I should think I know my own client, and it is Adrian Andrews. Edgeworth: Whaaaaaaaat!?!? Edgeworth: Th-This can't be! On the phone earlier... Phoenix: Wh-What's going on here...? Mia: My guess is that Mr. de Killer just stabbed Mr. Edgeworth in the back. Phoenix: Stabbed Edgeworth in the back...? Mia: I'm sure in order to get an audience with this court, Mia: Mr. de Killer told him a different name... "Matt Engarde", perhaps...? Phoenix: (I knew it...) Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: This... This is outrageous! I was deceived! Edgeworth: This witness is telling a very serious lie! Judge: B-But you were the one who summoned this witness! Edgeworth: Grk! Edgeworth: Grr... Y-You... Shelly de Killer...! de Killer: My testimony is the truth. de Killer: The defendant at the moment is Matt Engarde, am I correct? de Killer: All I wish to do is help procure his acquittal. Judge: H... Judge: Hmm... Mia: Wow... Mia: All of a sudden, it feels like we can actually win this. Phoenix: Yeah... -------------------------------------------- Judge: The prosecution has failed to provide a motive and has instead, Judge: provided this suicide note, which is a forgery created by the victim. Judge: Furthermore, there is a possibility the defendant himself knew it was a fake. Judge: But most definitive of all, Judge: we have heard from the assassin himself; the name of his client. Judge: Mr. de Killer's client who requested the murder was not the defendant at all! Edgeworth: ...No... Judge: With all this evidence, it is obvious to me that this means that Mr. Matt Engarde... Judge: Is innocent! de Killer: I seem to have caused you all a bit of confusion. de Killer: Please, continue your discussion, and call me when you have reached a verdict. ...*beep*... Judge: Bailiff! Please bring Ms. Adrian Andrews in immediately! Mia: What now? With the way this is going, Engarde will be found innocent. Mia: This may be our last chance... to save Maya... Phoenix: Yeah... But... Phoenix: But Edgeworth is right. De Killer is lying! Phoenix: And Engarde... my client... I know he's guilty! Phoenix: (Can I live with myself if I win this!?) Judge: Who would've believed that the prosecution's own witness would absolve the defendant!? Edgeworth: Your Honor! The prosecution requests permission to further question the witness! Edgeworth: Shelly de Killer is certainly lying under oath! Judge: Hmm... Andrews: It wasn't me! Andrews: Listen! Everyone! Please! That testimony just now... It was all one big lie! Phoenix: Ms. Andrews... Andrews: The suicide note may have been a fake. Andrews: But! Andrews: That man... Matt... He's the reason Celeste died! Andrews: And Juan's death... It was all because he got pulled into Matt's twisted world! Andrews: That testimony just now... You have to believe me... It was a horrible, horrible lie... Edgeworth: ... Judge: But... Mr. de Killer himself has testified... Judge: He has named you as his client. Andrews: No! That's not true! Judge: Also, there is quite a bit of evidence that points to you. Judge: The knife and button, donning the Nickel Samurai's costume... Andrews: But that's... That's... Judge: You even have a motive. Judge: We know that Ms. Celeste Inpax was a large part of your life. Judge: You wanted to follow her... And you wanted revenge against the two who hurt her. Judge: I would say you have plenty of reasons to want them both dead. Andrews: I... No... Andrews: Mr. Wright! Phoenix: ...! Andrews: You... You know the truth! Tell them! Andrews: Tell them the real story... Who the real killer is... Tell them! Andrews: Please... Help me... Phoenix: (Yes, I know the truth...) Judge: Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor? Judge: I believe we have reached the end of this trial. Judge: Therefore, I ask the defense for any final words or opinions. Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (I have to decide...) Phoenix: (Do I take the not guilty verdict and save Maya...) Phoenix: (Or do I throw this chance away and wait for Gumshoe's new evidence...?) Phoenix: (What am I supposed to do!?) *** Request the verdict ******************** * * Phoenix: * Your Honor! * The defense will make a * request... * * Phoenix: * ... * * Phoenix: * ... * * Phoenix: * (It's no use... I can't... * It feels like I've lost my * voice...!) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Request the trial continue ************* * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Mia: Phoenix... Phoenix: I can't do it, Mia... I can't accept a not guilty. Mia: You are a lawyer. Phoenix: I know. Phoenix: But... But Matt Engarde is a killer; a murderer! Phoenix: I can't... I can't let him get away with this. I can't let someone else take the fall. Phoenix: If I let Ms. Andrews be convicted, Phoenix: then I am no better than Engarde. Phoenix: And even though I don't want to admit it, I have to face the fact Phoenix: that it is because of Edgeworth that I now know the real truth. Phoenix: He could've gotten Engarde convicted so many times over, Phoenix: but he never took a single one of those chances. Phoenix: If I take this verdict right now... Phoenix: I'd be betraying his trust. Phoenix: (...His trust...?) Phoenix: (I never thought about it until now...) Phoenix: (I... I trust him...?) Mia: ... Mia: Yes, you do. Judge: Mr. Wright. Your opinion, please. Phoenix: The defense requests that we be allowed to further question Mr. de Killer. Judge: A-Am I hearing you correctly, Mr. Wright!? Edgeworth: Wright... Judge: But... But... Judge: That witness has cleared your client through his testimony! Your job here is done! Phoenix: I'm not done yet. To see through this witness' lies and find the truth... Phoenix: THAT is my job, Your Honor! Judge: ...! Phoenix: (There's still more evidence to look at...) Phoenix: (And I'm sure that once those pieces arrive here in this very courtroom...) Phoenix: (a miracle will occur!) Judge: Very well. The trial will continue. Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. Please re-establish connection with Mr. de Killer. Edgeworth: Right away, Your Honor! -------------------------------------------- de Killer: ...Has a verdict been reached? Edgeworth: Before that, we would like to talk with you a little more. de Killer: About? de Killer: All you needed from me was the name of my client. What else could you need me for? Edgeworth: Well... Edgeworth: Actually, we would like to hear everything you know about this case. Edgeworth: This is how things are... usually done. Phoenix: (What is he talking about? "Usually done"...??) Judge: But... What shall we have him testify about now? Edgeworth: Mr. de Killer. If you don't mind, please testify about your client in more detail. de Killer: You legal people and your procedures. Is it any wonder no one likes to go to court? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- About My Client, Pt. 2 -- (1) de Killer: As I have already stated quite a few times, Adrian Andrews is my client. However. (2) de Killer: One thing I simply cannot overlook is tampering with the scene of the crime. (3) de Killer: My client did it to frame another for the crime. (4) de Killer: While pretending to be the first person to discover the body and enter the scene, (5) de Killer: Adrian Andrews already knew from the very beginning that Juan Corrida was dead! (6) de Killer: But even more appalling is the creation and planting of the "knife" and "button". (7) de Killer: That act is what I was referring to when I said my client had "broken the rules". -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... Judge: This is a most unexpected turn of events... For the... um, fifth time now...? Judge: However, this time, everything has finally been revealed. Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Just a second, Your Honor! Judge: Yes, Mr. Edgeworth? Edgeworth: We still have the cross- examination to do... Judge: But you don't need to question testimony like this... Judge: Do you, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: Your Honor, the defense will question the witness. (As if I have a choice here!) Judge: Huh!? Why!? Judge: What this witness has said is nothing but beneficial to the defense's case! Judge: If you scrutinize the testimony, then... Phoenix: (...Then I'll expose the lies in that oh-so-"beneficial" testimony, I suppose.) Judge: I don't understand what's going on anymore... Phoenix: (That makes two of us...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- About My Client, Pt. 2 -- (1) de Killer: As I have already stated quite a few times, Adrian Andrews is my client. However. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: ... Judge: What is it, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: (If I press him the wrong way, it might raise suspicions on his end...) Phoenix: (But I have to do something to waste more time...) Phoenix: Um... Witness. About requesting a hit... de Killer: Yes? Phoenix: How much is your fee...? de Killer: ... de Killer: I see you are also quite a dark-hearted man, Mr. Attorney... Phoenix: Huh? de Killer: If you would like to talk business, we can do so after the trial... Phoenix: Ack! NONONO! I'm not thinking of hiring-- Judge: M-M-Mr. Wright!! Phoenix: Y-Yes!? Judge: Y-Y-You... Judge: You want to kill me... You want me dead... DON'T YOU!?!? Phoenix: Whaaaat!? Why would you think something like that, Your Hon-- Judge: Guilty! MR. PHOENIX WRIGHT! You are hereby declared GUILTY!! Edgeworth: ...Witness. Let's continue... Edgeworth: Why did you disclose the name of your client? They are your client, are they not? (2) de Killer: One thing I simply cannot overlook is tampering with the scene of the crime. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: I would think that most people wouldn't be able to overlook a person hiring another to kill. de Killer: ... de Killer: If I had a problem with such a thing, I wouldn't be very effective at my job. Phoenix: Ah... Yeah... (Well, a change in occupation might be good for you...) de Killer: However, I will say this. de Killer: Even though I am the one that does the deed, my clients are always the real guilty party. Edgeworth: That goes without saying, Mr. de Killer. de Killer: And their fate is to live with the knowledge of their guilt on their shoulders. de Killer: However, my client this time thought that they could run away from their guilt... (3) de Killer: My client did it to frame another for the crime. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Are you talking about the button and the knife? de Killer: Yes, and my business card. Phoenix: (Oh, this card...) de Killer: So that no one has to waste their time, including the police... de Killer: I always make it a point to make things as easy as possible. Judge: You try to make things easy...? de Killer: My business card makes it very easy to identify who carried out the "service". Phoenix: (He's pretty devoted to his work...) de Killer: But to disregard everything... to go and stab the deceased with a knife, de Killer: and even hide my card from sight... de Killer: That is something I cannot overlook. Phoenix: (Hmm... It's really hard to tell if he's being truthful or not without him being here...) (4) de Killer: While pretending to be the first person to discover the body and enter the scene, Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So you're saying most clients wouldn't do such a thing? de Killer: That is correct. de Killer: Usually, most people try to create an alibi for themselves. de Killer: If you should use my services, Mr. Attorney, I would suggest you plan for your alibi too... Phoenix: Ah, no! I already told you! I have no intention of ever using your services! Judge: ... Phoenix: (Why does he keep looking at me like I'm the one on trial here!?) (5) de Killer: Adrian Andrews already knew from the very beginning that Juan Corrida was dead! Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: From the very beginning? de Killer: That is correct. From before my client visited the room. de Killer: All of my clients know precisely what the situation is at all times. Phoenix: (I wonder if that's really true...) Edgeworth: That's odd... Phoenix: ...? (6) de Killer: But even more appalling is the creation and planting of the "knife" and "button". Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So why do you think your client did that? de Killer: What do you mean by "why"? Phoenix: Well, fiddling around at the scene of the crime is pretty risky. Phoenix: And why would someone who has requested a murder go to the crime scene anyway? Judge: Hmm, that is true. de Killer: I assume it was probably done to frame Mr. Engarde. Phoenix: If that's the case, then why didn't the person just request that you do it...? de Killer: Sadly, that is not possible. Phoenix: Huh? de Killer: My job is to kill. That is all. And to leave my business card behind, naturally. de Killer: The business card is so my clients may escape blame. To protect them is my duty. Judge: Hmm... de Killer: Even if they say it's for revenge, setting someone else up to take your fall... (7) de Killer: That act is what I was referring to when I said my client had "broken the rules". Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And that's all you have to testify? de Killer: Yes. And I pray that I will never be called to the stand again... Phoenix: "Again"...? As in you plan to continue? de Killer: I must, as I have yet to find a person to take my place, and become the fourth successor. de Killer: Actually, how would you like a new life, Mr. Attorney...? Phoenix: Excuse me? Phoenix: Ah, no no no! I'm fine! Really! Judge: ... Are you really now...? Judge: (I wonder what kind of man the judge thinks I am now...) -------------------------------------------- Mia: What are you going to do now, Phoenix? Phoenix: All I can do now is expose the lies. Mia: That's true... However, you realize that will be very bad for our client, right? Phoenix: (Nnngh... I'm so confused...) Phoenix: (But the one thing I know for sure is I can't let this trial end yet!) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Wine Glass* at (5) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Thank you so much for taking the time to testify, Mr. de Killer. de Killer: What is the meaning of that attitude? Phoenix: When Adrian Andrews entered the victim's room, Phoenix: your "client" had no idea that Juan Corrida had been murdered! Judge: But how... How do you know that!? Phoenix: From this wine glass, Your Honor. Judge: The glass... Phoenix: Mr. de Killer's supposed client thought Mr. Corrida had only fainted. Phoenix: Which is why this glass of tomato juice was poured for the victim! Judge: Hmm... But isn't that just a part of Adrian Andrews' calculated plan? Phoenix: That is not possible, Your Honor. Phoenix: This glass bears the fingerprints of that person. Phoenix: Had this been planned, they would never have left their fingerprints behind! Judge: I see your point... Mr. Edgeworth!? What is your opinion? Edgeworth: Strangely enough... Edgeworth: I had the same exact thought just now. Edgeworth: Witness! How do you explain this strange phenomenon!? de Killer: I-Isn't it a waste of time to ask about such a minor detail? de Killer: It's not a very important point anyway, correct...? Edgeworth: I'm afraid you are mistaken. Edgeworth: If Adrian Andrews really is your client, as you claim... Edgeworth: Then your client should have had knowledge of Mr. Corrida's death. Edgeworth: If not... Edgeworth: Then that can only mean that Adrian Andrews was never your client at all! de Killer: ... de Killer: How strange... Judge: Yes? de Killer: Why is it that the attorney has yet to raise an objection at this absurd situation...? Phoenix: ...! Mia: Phoenix. Mia: If De Killer figures out what we're up to, we're in real trouble! Phoenix: Yeah, I know... Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: Mr. Edgeworth! I'm surprised! Phoenix: You know you can't say things like that without any evidence. Edgeworth: Ah... Sorry. Judge: ... Judge: Th-That sounded like an awfully weak "Objection!" to me... Edgeworth: Anyway! I am positive there was a contradiction in that testimony. Edgeworth: The prosecution requests further testimony concerning when the request was taken! de Killer: ... Very well. Phoenix: (Right now, I have to buy us more time...) Phoenix: (While we wait for the items De Killer left behind to get here.) Phoenix: (I just know that the very outcome of this trial lies with those items!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Request Taking -- (1) de Killer: This request came to me... oh, about a week ago. (2) de Killer: It was a request for my services on the night of the awards ceremony. (3) de Killer: We met at a certain bar to discuss and finalize a few matters. (4) de Killer: That is what occurred. I trust my memory, and I believe I have made no mistakes. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... So you physically met your client, huh? de Killer: That is correct. Meeting one's client is the first step to building trust, in my opinion. Judge: I see... Well, Mr. Wright, your cross- examination, please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Request Taking -- (1) de Killer: This request came to me... oh, about a week ago. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: One week ago? Are you sure? de Killer: Yes, I am quite sure. de Killer: I, of course, had my own preparations... de Killer: And I was barely able to finish. de Killer: When you request my services, Mr. Attorney, I hope you will keep that in mind. Phoenix: Please... stop... de Killer: In any case, my client this time had a very specific date and time in mind. Phoenix: (A specific date and time...?) (2) de Killer: It was a request for my services on the night of the awards ceremony. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Did you ask why on that specific night? de Killer: No. de Killer: I try to fulfill all the conditions of my clients' request. de Killer: But as for why, I only had my suspicions.

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But as we now know, that was not how it turned out, correct? de Killer: What do you mean? Phoenix: Adrian Andrews turned out to be a client who couldn't stick to the rules, right? de Killer: ...Well, yes. de Killer: I suppose you are correct. Judge: Hmm... Edgeworth: So I would like to check one last time. Are you sure your testimony is accurate? (4) de Killer: That is what occurred. I trust my memory, and I believe I have made no mistakes. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: So your client was Adrian Andrews...? de Killer: That is correct. Phoenix: (Well, he says the two of them met...) Phoenix: (But if they did, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with De Killer's testimony...) Edgeworth: ... -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: (Well, there doesn't seem to be anything strange this time around...) Mia: You have to draw more information from him, but you can't draw his suspicion. Mia: If you can do that, you should be able to find a flaw in his testimony somewhere. Phoenix: (Talk about a delicate balance...) RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Adrian Andrews profile* at (3b) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: I would like to go over this one more time. Phoenix: You met Adrian Andrews at a bar and took the request at that time? de Killer: Yes, that is correct. Phoenix: And that's when you thought "he" was trustworthy... de Killer: How many times must I repeat myself? Yes, that is correct. Phoenix: I'm sorry, but that is an impossible tale. de Killer: Wh-What!? Phoenix: Shelly de Killer. Phoenix: You have never met the real Adrian Andrews! de Killer: ...! de Killer: Wh-Why would you say that...? Phoenix: Because you made one very big slip-up... Phoenix: ...about her. de Killer: So what is the issue... de Killer: ...! de Killer: Wh-What did you say just now...? de Killer: About "her"...? Phoenix: If you had ever met Adrian Andrews in person... Phoenix: One look would have told you that she is a woman! de Killer: Ohoooooo! Judge: O-Order! Order in the court! Mr. Wright! What is the meaning of this!? Phoenix: This witness testified to the following: Phoenix: That he always meets face to face with his clients when taking their request. Judge: But he has never met Adrian Andrews in person... Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor! That is exactly the point! Edgeworth: That means Mr. de Killer's client could not have been Ms. Adrian Andrews! de Killer: Ugnnn... Judge: Mr. Edgeworth... I understand your logic on this one... Judge: However... Judge: Why would the assassin make such a basic mistake? Edgeworth: I believe it has to do with her name, Your Honor. Judge: Her name? Edgeworth: Yes. Adrian Andrews is, without a doubt, a very androgynous name. Judge: Hmm... Yes, I see... Edgeworth: Unluckily for Mr. de Killer, Edgeworth: the entire time he was on the stand, no one had stated Adrian Andrews' gender. Edgeworth: And so, he simply picked the wrong gender to go with. Judge: Wh-What... Judge: What is going on...? Judge: Shelly de Killer! Judge: This court demands an explanation! de Killer: Umm... de Killer: I-I think somehow... I must have mixed up this client with another. Edgeworth: So does that mean you remember something different now? de Killer: Yes, of course. de Killer: Please, if you would allow me to testify once more... Phoenix: (Argh! I know he's just going to spit out more lies.) Judge: Very well. But this time, please give us the truth, and nothing but the truth! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Request Taking, Pt. 2 -- (1) de Killer: Yes, now I remember. I took that request by mail. (2) de Killer: There have been times when I took a job without having met my client. (3) de Killer: The request was for the murder of Juan Corrida and 2 or 3 other small things. (4) de Killer: When I saw the name at the end of the letter, I thought my client to be a man. -------------------------------------------- Judge: Hmm... So you took this job through a letter... Phoenix: (He didn't mention anything about a letter in his earlier testimony...) Phoenix: (Which means he is definitely lying!) Mia: Be careful, Phoenix. Mia: If you break the assassin's testimony completely, it's over for us. Phoenix: I know... I can't make him suspicious. But... Phoenix: I think we're OK; like we can do this. Phoenix: (As long as he's standing there across from me...) Phoenix: (No matter how strong of a punch I throw, he'll counter it...) Judge: Now then, let's begin the cross-examination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSS EXAMINATION -- Request Taking, Pt. 2 -- (1) de Killer: Yes, now I remember. I took that request by mail. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: But didn't you just say that you always meet your clients? de Killer: Yes, I suppose I did say that. de Killer: However, there are some clients for whom a meeting is simply not possible. Phoenix: But didn't you meet your client this time? de Killer: No, I did not. Phoenix: Oh, come now. Let's stop with this game of cat and mouse. de Killer: Using your silkiest voice is not going to work on me. Phoenix: Alright then, just cough it up and confess! Judge: Mr. Wright! You can't badger a witness with such harsh words! Phoenix: Um... Judge: You're a lawyer, so behave like one and present evidence instead of mindlessly yelling.

Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: And why could you not meet certain clients? de Killer: Recently, I have been receiving more requests. de Killer: If I met each and every client, I would lose some nice business opportunities. Judge: Nice business opportunities? de Killer: On top of which, the times have changed. de Killer: It is now the age of information and computers, correct? de Killer: Well I have joined the times, and now take requests via electronic mail. Judge: Electronic mail? Do you have to mail that in a special insulated envelope? de Killer: Ah, I'm very sorry. de Killer: I despise the shortening of words. de Killer: What I meant by electronic mail is what is commonly referred to as "e-mail". Judge: ... E-mail...? Phoenix: (In a contest of mimicry, the judge would beat a parrot, hands down...) Edgeworth: *ahem* Edgeworth: Anyway, so you took this job without having met your client, and...? (3) de Killer: The request was for the murder of Juan Corrida and 2 or 3 other small things. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Two or three other things...? de Killer: Yes. Phoenix: And what were these "other things"? de Killer: A few other things that have nothing to do with this case.

I just think lies aren't * a good thing, you know...? * * de Killer: * Oh, I know and agree. * Lies are not a good thing at * all... * * Phoenix: * Urk. * * de Killer: * I think we are on the same * page now, aren't we * Mr. Attorney? * * de Killer: * Remember.

Phoenix: Huh? Seems like we're still OK to me. Mia: And that's exactly what is so bad. Mia: At the rate we're going, we will end up completely destroying De Killer's lie. Mia: If we do that... You already know how serious of a situation that will put us in. Phoenix: O-Oh yeah... Phoenix: (All I can do now is pray that those items reach us in time...)

Phoenix: If you had really given the bear to Ms. Andrews... Phoenix: then this item should not have been inside it. de Killer: "This item"...? Edgeworth: I see where you're going... Phoenix: Yup, that's where I'm going... Judge: Where is everyone going!? Do I need to pack a suitcase? Phoenix: Your Honor. Please think back to Ms. Andrews' testimony. -------------------------------------------- Andrews: And I was going to burn it... for her sake. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: If even for a single minute, Phoenix: this bear had actually been in Ms. Andrews' hands... Phoenix: I'm sure she would have taken the suicide note out and burned it! Judge: Order! Order! Order! So that's where you two were going! Edgeworth: So by the very fact that this suicide note was still inside the bear... Edgeworth: Tells us that your "client" didn't know how to disassemble the puzzle! Judge: Wh-Which means...? Edgeworth: It means, Your Honor, that it is impossible for Adrian Andrews to be the "client"! de Killer: Ohoooooo! Judge: O...Order! Order! ORDER!! de Killer: ... Ungh... Mr...Phoenix Wright... Phoenix: ...! de Killer: I... I'm sure I mentioned this before. de Killer: How I hate traitors above all else! Edgeworth: ... de Killer: I think your cross-examination has clearly demonstrated something to me. de Killer: You... You must wish to break your end of our agreement! Phoenix: No! That's not... de Killer: That's enough! If that is your intention, then there is only one thing for me to do! Phoenix: W-Wait! Please! de Killer: Gentlemen, ladies, please excuse me. de Killer: I have a matter that I must attend to. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: N...No... Please... Not that... Please wait... de Killer: Mr. Attorney! de Killer: Bring this trial to a speedy end, and I may stay my hand! Otherwise... Phoenix: Nnnngh... Phoenix: Gnwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! Judge: What in the...? Mr. Wright...? Are you...? Phoenix: ... Judge: Mr. Edgeworth...? Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor? Judge: I didn't understand this witness' outburst just now. Judge: Do you think there is a need to hear more testimony, or is this enough...? Edgeworth: Well... We should... Phoenix: (Edgeworth! We can't do this!) Phoenix: (If we keep this up... Maya... She'll...!) Edgeworth: U...Ungh! Edgeworth: The prosecution... I... Judge: Wh-What has come over everyone? Even you are... Edgeworth: The prosecution... rests. Judge: What is going on around here...? Edgeworth: The prosecution has no further questions, Your Honor. Judge: Wh... Judge: Whaaaaaaat!? -------------------------------------------- Judge: Well, I never thought I'd see the day. This is a most unusual situation... Judge: If the prosecution rests with no further questions... Judge: Then... the prosecution has failed to uphold its stance. Edgeworth: ... Judge: If that is the case, then even though I am reluctant, Judge: I must believe that Mr. de Killer's testimony is accurate. Judge: That would mean that Shelly de Killer's client is... Judge: Adrian Andrews! Phoenix: ...! Edgeworth: Nnngh... Judge: Mr. Wright! Phoenix: Y-Yes, Your Honor? Judge: If I end the trial here, right now, Judge: then your client, Matt Engarde, would be declared innocent. Judge: And in his place, Adrian Andrews would be charged with murder. Phoenix: (M-Ms. Andrews... would be charged with murder!) Edgeworth: ... Judge: The prosecution has no further questions, so we will now hear the defense's final remarks. Judge: Bailiff! Please bring the defendant, Matt Engarde, to the stand! Mia: The items from De Killer's hideout didn't make it in time... Mia: We tried as hard as we could, but it looks like our time has run out... Phoenix: (I can't believe it...) Mia: The outcome now lies in your hands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Engarde: Dude, did the old guy finally decide? Judge: To be honest, I can't think of you as a truly innocent and good person. Judge: You have done enough evil to drive a woman to suicide. Engarde: ... Judge: But... Judge: At least on the charge of murder, it would appear you are innocent. Engarde: ... Engarde: Hah...! Engarde: So, I guess even the old fuddy-duddy figured me out! Judge: M-Mr. Engarde...? Engarde: You were atrocious as a lawyer, weren't you? Giving your client away like this! Engarde: And that "refreshing like a spring breeze" crap; it's just as atrocious, don't you agree? Edgeworth: ... Engarde: Anyway, get on with it and pronounce me innocent already. Engarde: Right, Mister Lawyer!? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (Should I side with justice? Or should I save Maya's life?) -------------------------------------------- Maya: You'd better get Engarde a guilty sentence, OK!? Phoenix: (But...) Phoenix: (But if I did that... Maya will die!) Phoenix: (But if I say he's innocent...) Phoenix: (Then Ms. Andrews will be charged as the murderer!) Phoenix: (Do I say he's "guilty"... or "not guilty"...?) Phoenix: (Either choice I make, someone's life is going to end!) Phoenix: (It all hinges on what I "choose"!) -------------------------------------------- Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright. Judge: Let's hear the defense's final statements on this matter. Phoenix: ... Judge: If the person who hired the assassin was Adrian Andrews... Judge: Then your client, Mr. Matt Engarde is innocent. Engarde: Hmph... There's no need to ask, old man. Engarde: After all, my lawyer is going to say what I want... aren't you? Edgeworth: Wright... Phoenix: (I can't! I can't do this! But I have to decide something!) Phoenix: (I can't count on the evidence to help me anymore. I have to listen to my heart!) Phoenix: My client... Matt Engarde is... *** Guilty ********************************* * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Not guilty ***************************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Judge: We are waiting for your answer, Mr. Wright! Judge: Matt Engarde, your client deserves an answer! Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (Maya... I'm sorry...) Phoenix: Matt Engarde is... von Karma: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: F-Franziska von Karma!! Judge: Wh-What are you doing here... Judge: OWW! von Karma: You see now, don't you... Mr. Phoenix Wright? von Karma: This is exactly why you should NEVER take your eyes off of that scruffy fool! Edgeworth: Did you bring them? The final pieces... Do you have them? von Karma: You should know better than to ask that, Mr. Miles Edgeworth. von Karma: A Von Karma is perfect in every way! The evidence is here in perfect condition! von Karma: Don't worry about Scruffy. He's fine, and his injuries are minor. von Karma: All of the items are inside this. Judge: What a filthy, old coat this is... Phoenix: (That's Gumshoe's... I can spot his tattered rags anywhere...) von Karma: I apologize for its ugliness, but there was nothing else to wrap the items in. Phoenix: (I've fought long and hard this whole trial...) Phoenix: (All for what is inside that raggedy coat...) Phoenix: (I'm sure that inside that coat, lies a crucial piece of evidence!) Phoenix: Your Honor! Inside that filthy coat... Phoenix: Are the defense's final pieces of evidence! Judge: Your final... evidence!? Judge: ... Judge: This trial is already over. All that remains is for me to hand down my verdict. Judge: I do not believe that any evidence presented now, Judge: would change the outcome of this trial. Phoenix: (Wh-What!?) Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: Your Honor. It is our duty to examine every piece of evidence, down to the last. Edgeworth: I request that Ms. von Karma be allowed to present these pieces of evidence! Judge: Hmm... Judge: I suppose you are right, Mr. Edgeworth. I grant permission to do so. Judge: However, this one obvious rule applies here; Judge: If these items do not bring up any new points, then they will not be accepted by this court. Phoenix: ...! Judge: Now, Ms. von Karma. If you please. von Karma: These pieces of evidence are items left by De Killer during his escape from the police. Judge: Hmm... He must have been in quite a rush. von Karma: Yes, Your Honor. De Killer left three pieces of evidence. Phoenix: (Somewhere among the evidence we're about to see...) Phoenix: (There will be something that will turn this whole situation around... like a miracle.) Phoenix: (I'm sure of it!) Mia: That is all we can hope for. -------------------------------------------- von Karma: The first item is a pistol. Phoenix: (Does De Killer's pistol have anything to do with this case...?) *** Question for more details ************** * * Phoenix: * Does that pistol have any * relation to this case? * * von Karma: * We have yet to perform a * ballistics test, so I can't * say anything for certain... * * von Karma: * However, I believe it has * something to do with this * case... At least, to me. * * Phoenix: * ...? * * Edgeworth: * That's the pistol that he used * to shoot you, isn't it? * * von Karma: * That's what I believe, yes. * * Phoenix: * Oh... * * von Karma: * I kept the bullet they removed * from my shoulder as a sort of * memento... * * von Karma: * I'm sure it will be an * excellent sample for the test. * * Phoenix: * (So that's the pistol that was * used to shoot Franziska...) * * Phoenix: * (It's probably not going to * help us very much...) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** More details are not needed ************ * * Phoenix: * (I'm pretty sure there was no * gun involved in this case.) * * Phoenix: * (There's no real benefit to * hearing about it...) * * Phoenix: * Please present the next piece * of evidence. * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *Pistol added to the Court Record.* von Karma: The second piece of evidence is this video tape. Phoenix: (I bet De Killer took that from Engarde Mansion...) *** Question for more details ************** * * Phoenix: * Have you checked the contents * of that tape? * * von Karma: * Unfortunately, there was no * time to. * * Phoenix: * Oh yeah... * * von Karma: * But I would speculate that * this tape is very important. * * Judge: * Why would you say that? * * von Karma: * Because he came back to his * hideout for it. * * Phoenix: * De... De Killer went back for * it...? * * von Karma: * That's right. * It looks like he was trying to * recover it. * * von Karma: * He injured three of the * officers at the site. * * Judge: * Hmm... * * von Karma: * But somehow, it looks like * they managed to protect it * from De Killer. * * von Karma: * Shelly de Killer is no * ordinary man. * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** More details are not needed ************ * * Phoenix: * (Right now, we don't need to * establish De Killer's role in * this case...) * * Phoenix: * (I should be listening to * information about a different * piece of evidence.) * * Phoenix: * That's fine. Please present * the next piece of evidence! * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *Video Tape added to the Court Record.* von Karma: The last piece of evidence is this bellboy's uniform. Phoenix: (Is that a uniform from the Gatewater Hotel...?) *** Question for more details ************** * * Phoenix: * Was that used during the * crime? * * von Karma: * I am almost certain it was. * * von Karma: * There's even a pair of black * leather gloves in one of the * pockets. * * Phoenix: * (There's no doubt about it! * De Killer was wearing this on * the night of the murder!) * * von Karma: * There is one thing I found * interesting about this * uniform. * * Edgeworth: * And what is that? * * von Karma: * There is a button missing on * this uniform. * * Edgeworth: * A button...? * * von Karma: * It's a very unique button. * I'm sure if we were to * recover it... * * von Karma: * It would provide us with an * interesting clue. * * Judge: * Hmm... * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** More details are not needed ************ * * Phoenix: * (I don't think this is going * to help us much at all...) * * Phoenix: * Thank you very much, Ms. von * Karma. I think that's enough. * * von Karma: * ...Hmph. * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *Bellboy's Uniform added to the Court Record.* von Karma: That is all I have to present, Your Honor. Judge: Hmm... Judge: It's just as I thought. Phoenix: And... what is that, Your Honor..? Judge: I'm sure, were we under normal circumstances, Judge: these items from Shelly de Killer's hideout would be very important clues. Judge: However... Judge: Our question is not "Who did the killing?" Edgeworth: It is, "Who is the client?"... Judge: Yes, that is correct. Judge: And these three items do not tell us anything about that! Judge: Thank you for your hard work, Ms. von Karma. You may step down now. Phoenix: *HOLD IT!* Phoenix: Wait, Your Honor! Phoenix: Please allow me to examine this new evidence! Judge: Overruled. Judge: This court already has all the evidence it needs to hand down a verdict! Engarde: Wonderful... Absolutely splendid. This judge is such a brilliant man, isn't he? Phoenix: (Is this the end...?) Mia: Phoenix. Phoenix: I knew it... There's no such thing as a "miracle" in this world, is there? Mia: I think you're wrong. I think they do exist. Mia: But you have to make that "miracle" happen. Mia: You've come this far! You can't give up now! Phoenix: But... But... No matter how you think about it... It's... It's... Mia: Try... For my sake. Just think about it for a second. Mia: There are two ways out of this situation for us. Phoenix: (T-Two!?) Mia: The first... Mia: Make Engarde wish from the bottom of his soul for a guilty verdict. Phoenix: Huh? Mia: De Killer will always place his client's wishes first. Mia: If Engarde himself wished to be convicted, then he will let his hostage go. Phoenix: Th-That may be true, but... Phoenix: That's asking me to do the impossible! Mia: The second way... Mia: Force De Killer to end his contract with Engarde. Mia: If De Killer were to no longer think of Engarde as his "client"... Mia: Then he would let Maya go. Phoenix: Mia! That's even more impossible! Phoenix: He is a man who values his duty towards his clients above all else! Mia: ... Mia: I know both of these seem like impossible feats at first. Mia: But if you could make either one happen, it would truly be a "miracle". Phoenix: The bigger problem is, Phoenix: the judge has already said he doesn't need any more evidence! Phoenix: The pieces he was just shown; he's not accepting them! Mia: Phoenix. Mia: Think things through from the other side. Isn't that what has always worked for us? Phoenix: ...! Phoenix: (The "other side"...? Wait, does she mean...) Phoenix: You mean... to turn things around? Mia: Phoenix. The judge says he doesn't need the evidence. Mia: If that's the case, then who does need it? Phoenix: ("The person who needs the evidence"...) Mia: The defense, prosecution, and the judge... We have seen all the pieces of evidence. Mia: And that is how we have come to know the "truth". Mia: But there are people who have not seen them all. Mia: And those people do not know the "truth". Mia: That truth... It may be what will bring about the miracle in the end. Judge: There are no objections this time, correct? Judge: Now then, I will pronounce my verdict! Engarde: Why don't we all respectfully sit back and listen, kids. Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Judge: I have already told you, Mr. Wright. Judge: This court does not need any more evidence. Phoenix: I am not saying it is us that needs the evidence, Your Honor! Edgeworth: ...! Judge: Then... you want to show the evidence to... that person...? Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor. Judge: ... Phoenix: Please, Your Honor! Judge: Mr. Wright. For you to ask with such passion... Judge: I will grant you one chance. Phoenix: (O...One chance...) Judge: Please show your evidence to who you think is the right person. Edgeworth: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: That's impossible! To turn this situation around in one try... Judge: One try. That is all I will permit. Phoenix: (I have to try to remember...) Phoenix: (Everything that has happened up to this point...) Phoenix: (Think, Phoenix! Think!) Phoenix: (There must be a way to save Maya while taking Engarde down at the same time!) Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright. Let's not waste any more time. Phoenix: ... Judge: Who would you like to show evidence to? *Present anything* Phoenix: *TAKE THAT!* Judge: I see. Judge: And now...

Phoenix: Yes. One is all I need. Phoenix: I have here a video tape. It was found at your hideout. de Killer: ... Phoenix: I heard you injured three officers in your attempt to get this back. de Killer: That was most regrettable. de Killer: However, it was an order from my client. de Killer: I was told to protect that video tape. Phoenix: (I thought so...) de Killer: I'm afraid I seem to have failed in that regard. Phoenix: Do you know the contents of this tape? de Killer: I was sternly told by my client to not watch it. de Killer: So I have absolutely no idea. Phoenix: Actually, you are on this tape. de Killer: Me? Phoenix: There was a video camera hidden at the crime scene. Phoenix: Your actions were being recorded. de Killer: Wh-What!? Judge: Is that true!? Mr. Wright!? de Killer: Who... Who was it that planted a camera...!? Phoenix: Well, the only person who could have placed a camera at the scene of the crime... Phoenix: would be your "client" naturally. de Killer: ...! Judge: Th-That was... Adrian Andrews... Edgeworth: Be quiet and listen... Your Honor. Judge: Yes, sir. Phoenix: Your "client" specified a place and time for you, isn't that right? de Killer: Y-Yes... Phoenix: That was so they could film you. de Killer: ... I had no idea. de Killer: ... de Killer: Mr. Wright. de Killer: Why would my client do such a thing? Phoenix: ... de Killer: I would like to know why...

Engarde: Oh, come now, Mr. Wright. Assassins aren't above blackmail. Engarde: Yes, that's where the video comes in. Engarde: With that, I can keep him at bay, and even blackmail him if I want. -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: Your "client" didn't trust you at all. Phoenix: They were thinking of using this video to blackmail you! Phoenix: What do you have to say to that, Shelly de Killer!? de Killer: Gnnn...nnnngh... de Killer: Ohoooooo! de Killer: ... de Killer: It looks like... de Killer: It looks like I was being deceived from the very beginning... Phoenix: Yes... By a natural... Phoenix: That is the kind of person they are. Phoenix: Your "client" is a person who only thinks and plots of how to use the people around them Phoenix: to protect themselves from any and all dangers that may arise. Phoenix: That is the true nature of your "client". de Killer: ... Edgeworth: I have one question for the witness. de Killer: Yes? Edgeworth: You told us one thing numerous times during your testimony. Edgeworth: You said that you detest traitors most of all. de Killer: Yes, that's right. Edgeworth: But what if that traitor was your own client...? Edgeworth: What would you do then!? de Killer: ... de Killer: That's obvious. de Killer: I would break our contract in that case. de Killer: And then... de Killer: That client would become my next target. de Killer: For the honor of the De Killer name, even if it takes an eternity... de Killer: I would follow that person to the ends of the earth to exact my punishment. Edgeworth: I see. Edgeworth: That's all I wanted to know. Phoenix: (So the traitor becomes De Killer's next target...) Phoenix: (Ah! I get it...) Phoenix: (This is how we'll turn this case around!) de Killer: Mr. Wright. Phoenix: Yes...? de Killer: My contract with my client is over as of now. de Killer: I seem to have a new job on my hands. de Killer: I will now return to you, your precious item. Maya: ...What the!?

Edgeworth: She always has you in her sights. Edgeworth: Now! I do believe it's time to finally hand down a verdict! -------------------------------------------- Phoenix: Mr. Engarde. Phoenix: It looks like somehow, you got what you wanted. Phoenix: You will finally receive the acquittal you wanted so badly. You should be happy. Edgeworth: But before that, I would like to make one final statement. Edgeworth: Sometime in the near future, one very betrayed assassin may appear before you. Engarde: ...! Edgeworth: Needless to say, that man is very good at what he does. Edgeworth: I'm sure you would understand what I mean, if you watch this video. Engarde: ...H-- Engarde: Help me... Edgeworth: Now then, Your Honor! The verdict, if you please. Judge: I-Is this alright with you, Mr. Wright? Phoenix: ...! Mia: We have finally reached the end of a very long battle. Mia: Whether he's convicted or acquitted, there is no escape for him now. Mia: Go on, Phoenix. Plead whichever way your heart tells you. Phoenix: Right, Chief. *** Plead not guilty *********************** * * Phoenix: * Congratulations, Mr. Matt * Engarde. * * Engarde: * ...! * * Phoenix: * Please make sure to savor * every moment of what little * time you have left. * * Phoenix: * Your Honor! * * Phoenix: * As always, the defense pleads * not guilty. * * Judge: * Very well. * * Judge: * This court finds the * defendant, Matt Engarde... * * *HOLD IT!* * * Engarde: * P-Please wait... * * Judge: * What's the matter? * * Engarde: * If...

GuiLTy!!guIIIltYY!!Guil-- guilty!guilty!GUilTY!GUILTY! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge: As always, it looks like we have uncovered the real truth. Phoenix: (We? I don't remember you helping out much in this...) Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. How is Matt Engarde? Edgeworth: I have left Ms. von Karma in charge of his incarceration. Edgeworth: I'm sure he's getting a full- course meal of whip leather right about now. Judge: Very good. Judge: That was a close one, wasn't it, witness? Andrews: Yes... Andrews: I plan to pay my debt to society for my own crime, Your Honor. Andrews: ... Andrews: This trial was the first time I had stood on the witness stand, and when I did... Andrews: I really felt hopeless. Phoenix: (She must be talking about the time Edgeworth really went after her...) Phoenix: (I guess she's trying to forgive him for what he did...) -------------------------------------------- Edgeworth: This witness... How should I put this... She has an illness. Edgeworth: If you're going to say you would "choose death", that is of no concern to me. -------------------------------------------- Andrews: But... after that, when I was alone at the detention center... Andrews: That's the first time I really saw myself and who I am. Edgeworth: ... Andrews: And today... Andrews: When the two of you used your combined strength to convict Matt... Andrews: I... I felt like I had finally been saved. Phoenix: (Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen her smile.) Andrews: I am really happy that you two were in charge of this case. Andrews: I really don't know how to express how I feel at this moment... Andrews: This is... This is the first time I've felt comfortable with myself; with who I am. Andrews: Thank you so much, everyone! -------------------------------------------- Judge: It looks like we have resolved everything at last. Judge: As for myself, there are still a few things I'm confused about... Judge: But everyone seems to be in good spirits, Judge: and that is good enough for me. Judge: That is all. This court is adjourned! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 5:14 PM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Mia: You were great out there, Phoenix! Phoenix: What I did out there was right... wasn't it? Mia: ... This is the first time you've not gotten your client off. Mia: You got them a "guilty" verdict this time. Mia: But... You have to look past all of that, to what's really important. Mia: You now realize that there is something more than just getting a "not guilty", right? Phoenix: Yes, I understand now. Mia: Phoenix, think back for a second. Mia: Think to the moments before Ms. von Karma arrived with the final pieces of evidence. Mia: Think about the incredible decision you had to make... -------------------------------------------- Judge: Now then, Mr. Wright. Judge: Let's hear the defense's final statements on this matter. Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (I can't count on the evidence to help me anymore. I have to listen to my heart!) Phoenix: (Should I side with justice? Or should I save Maya's life?) Phoenix: My client... Matt Engarde is... -------------------------------------------- Mia: Is he "guilty"... or is he "not guilty"...? Mia: Those were your choices then. And your answer... Mia: Your answer spoke to what being a "lawyer" means to you... Edgeworth: Wright! Phoenix: E-Edgeworth... Edgeworth: I have good news. Edgeworth: Maya is now safe in police custody! Pearl: Really!? Phoenix: P-Pearls-- Pearl: You're telling us the truth, right Mr. Edgeworth!? Edgeworth: Y-Yes... She's quite safe. Edgeworth: She is on her way here as we speak in a patrol car. Pearl: Aaaaaaaaah! Mystic Maya! Mystic Maya's safe!! Pearl: You did it! You really did it, Mr. Nick! Phoenix: (Oww... She punches deceptively hard for a kid...) Pearl: I... I believed in you. Pearl: I kept saying to myself: Mr. Nick will save her... Mr. Nick will save her... Pearl: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Phoenix: Ah, um... Thanks. Pearl: Oh... Phoenix: What's wrong? Pearl: Ms. von Karma... von Karma: ... Phoenix: Um... About earlier... Uh... Thanks... Phoenix: OWW!! von Karma: Why are you still smiling... Mr. Phoenix Wright!? von Karma: You... You lost!! von Karma: Your perfect win record has now been crushed! von Karma: And yet... You are still happy!? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: I don't think you'll ever understand... Ms. von Karma. von Karma: How dare you!? Edgeworth: Don't worry. She may in time. After all, I was like that myself, until a year ago... Phoenix: E-Edgeworth...? Edgeworth: For my own personal victories... and for guilty verdicts... Edgeworth: I used every dirty trick in the book. And so my win record remained spotless. Edgeworth: But... Edgeworth: A man appeared and stood fast against that selfish me. Edgeworth: I fought him in my usual manner, and tasted my first defeat. Edgeworth: I felt like I had lost everything because of that. Edgeworth: And then... Edgeworth: It was my turn to sit in the defendant's chair. Edgeworth: And I was saved... by that person I called my "enemy"... Edgeworth: I couldn't forgive myself for all that had happened. So I left the Prosecutor's Office. Edgeworth: And I left that note... "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death"... von Karma: Hmph, as well you should have. von Karma: A prosecutor who has shamed himself with defeat should crawl into a hole and die! Edgeworth: ...But that was not what happened. Edgeworth: After I left the Prosecutor's Office, I finally came to realize something. Edgeworth: And it was in that moment of clarity that everything began to change. von Karma: Wh-What foolish nonsense... Edgeworth: We prosecutors use anything we can to attack the defendant. Edgeworth: But every time we did so... Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Edgeworth: No matter how desperate the situation... instead of giving up like most people, Edgeworth: that man would hold strong with his undying faith. Edgeworth: And then, before I knew it... I began to trust in that man as well. von Karma: Wh-What!? You trusted your enemy!? Edgeworth: It doesn't matter how many underhanded tricks a person uses... Edgeworth: The truth will always find a way to make itself known. Edgeworth: The only thing we can do is to fight with the knowledge we hold and everything we have. Edgeworth: Erasing the paradoxes one by one... Edgeworth: It's never easy... We claw and scratch for every inch. Edgeworth: But we will always eventually reach that one single truth. This I promise you. Pearl: The "truth"... Edgeworth: Yes. That's the reason why prosecutors and defense lawyers exist. Edgeworth: But I'm sure you knew that already, didn't you Wright? Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: That's why you couldn't forgive me; this man who went into hiding. Isn't that right? Edgeworth: This man who only had his sights set on "victory", who ran away into the night... Pearl: Ah! Pearl: Is... Is Mr. Edgeworth right, Mr. Nick...!? Phoenix: (You really let me down...) Phoenix: When you disappeared, I felt... betrayed. Phoenix: The reason I decided to become a lawyer to begin with... Phoenix: Was because I believed in the things you said to me, all those years ago... Phoenix: And you... You betrayed your own words. Phoenix: That's why... one year ago, I made up my mind. Phoenix: I decided that the Miles Edgeworth I knew had died... Phoenix: ...At least, that's what I told myself. von Karma: You pathetic fool! Pearl: M-Ms. von Karma... von Karma: I don't want to hear the wretched whimpering of a disgraced loser! von Karma: A Von Karma is someone who is destined to be perfect! von Karma: Miles Edgeworth... You are no longer worthy! von Karma: You are no longer worthy of being a Von Karma! von Karma: And neither am I! von Karma: It's over... It's all over! Phoenix: (Franziska threw something on the ground just now...) Edgeworth: This is... an electromagnetic receiver. Phoenix: Isn't that the thing she used to track Detective Gumshoe...? Edgeworth: I'll return this to the precinct later. Edgeworth: There's something else... Pearl: Ah! Isn't that Ms. von Karma's whip!? Edgeworth: "I'll never set foot in another courtroom again"... Edgeworth: I'm sure that's what she's saying by this action... Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: You should keep this, Wright. Phoenix: ... Phoenix: Umm... OK. -------------------------------------------- ? ? ?: Nick!! Phoenix: ......! Phoenix: M-M-M... Phoenix: MAYA! Pearl: Mystic Maya! Pearl: Mystic Mayaaaaaaaa! Maya: Oh, Nick! I knew you would come through! Maya: You got Engarde convicted, like I knew you would... Maya: And on top of that, you even rescued me! Phoenix: Well, of course I did! You know I would never desert you! Phoenix: But we sure pressed our luck this trial... You're really lucky to be standing here! Maya: Whatever, whatever. Look, it's over, OK? Besides, if I did croak, Maya: I would just come back and haunt you like a bad ghost through Pearly! Phoenix: ... Phoenix: (Is it really that easy to do something like that...?) Maya: ... Maya: Th-Thanks a lot... Nick. Phoenix: Um... Don't mention it. Edgeworth: Maya... Maya: Oh, Mr. Edgeworth. Edgeworth: Um... I'm relieved you're alright. Maya: Hey... It looks like you've made some real progress, Mr. Edgeworth! Edgeworth: Umm... Edgeworth: Well, I suppose I'm a little different from who I was a year ago. Maya: Heh... *growwwwl...grrrrr...urrrr...* Maya: Alright! I think it's time we got out of this depressing place! Phoenix: Huh? Where are we going!? Maya: Food, Nick! FOOD! Grub! Chow! I'm starved! Maya: I'm so hungry even you look like a nice, juicy burger on a bun to me, Nick! Phoenix: Y-You think I look like a burger...? I'm a Prime Rib at least! Pearl: Come with us, Mr. Edgeworth! Please!! Edgeworth: Uh, um... If you insist... Phoenix: Alright... So how about we hit up our usual burger joint...? Maya: Don't be silly, Nick. Phoenix: Huh? Maya: This case messed up that awesome evening, and got in the way of my gourmet food. Maya: So I've decided that we have to make it up by having another feast! Phoenix: A-Another feast...? Maya: C'mon, Nick! FOOOOOOD! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 23, 7:38 PM Gatewater Hotel Hotel Lobby Gumshoe: Hey, pal! Sorry to keep you guys waiting! Phoenix: Gumshoe! Are you alright!? Gumshoe: Yeah, but I'm really embarrassed. Gumshoe: I didn't think I would hit a telephone pole, of all things. Phoenix: A telephone pole...? (Then, it wasn't a red light that got him...?) Lotta: Ya did it again, City Boy. Lotta: I felt like my dear ol' heart was gonna give out on me! And I ain't jokin'! Powers: Yeah! It was more exciting than the very last episode of the Steel Samurai! Phoenix: Th-Thanks... Lotta: Now lookie here, mister snooty prosecutor! Don't ya reckon ya bullied Mr. Wright too hard!? Lotta: If ya don't start bein' a lot nicer to him, he might just kick it... Tonight, even! Edgeworth: Umm... I'll keep that in mind. Lotta: Well, come on now! Everyone gather 'round! Lotta: Y'all are gonna get yer picture taken by a genuine professional photographer! Phoenix: (Looks like Lotta bought herself a new camera...) Gumshoe: Well, pal... At least we can put this messy case behind us now. Gumshoe: Come on! Tonight's all about eating, so let's go chow down, pal! Maya: Amen to that, pal! Amen! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Powers: You know, when you think about it, you were the one who saved the day, Detective! Gumshoe: Huh? Me? ...You really think so? Edgeworth: He's right. Edgeworth: If it wasn't for the three items you took... Edgeworth: I think this trial would have had a very different ending. Gumshoe: Ah, well, you know... It's... Ho ho. Ho ho ho ho. Ho ho ho ho ho. Gumshoe: ...Huh? Wait. Gumshoe: That's odd... Gumshoe: When I ran off with the things from De Killer's hideout... Gumshoe: I was sure I took 4 things total, sir. Maya: What? Pearl: Four? Gumshoe: Yeah, I'm sure I put one of the items in my coat pocket... Phoenix: (There was a fourth item...?) Lotta: Aw, come on y'all. It's over! Lotta: But whoo boy, I tell ya! You really are somethin' else! Lotta: Between getting' accused of murder and getting' kidnapped... Lotta: Never a dull moment with you, huh? Maya: Hahaha, you think? Phoenix: (Why does she look so happy about that...?) Pearl: But being shut away for two whole days... Pearl: Weren't you scared...? Maya: Yeah, it was really scary. I felt so hopeless. Maya: So to keep my mind off of things, I drew a picture! Lotta: Sounds like ya had it rough, gal! So where's this picture of yers? Pearl: Yeah! I want to see it! I want to see Mystic Maya's picture! Maya: ... Maya: Hmm... You know, I don't know where it went... Pearl: Aww... That's too bad... Maya: W-Well, it's alright! It wasn't anything important anyway. Phoenix: (Ah...) Phoenix: (It sure is nice to finally see them both smiling again.) ...*beep* *beep*... ...*beep* *beep*... ...*beep* *beep*... Edgeworth: ...Hm? Phoenix: What is it, Edgeworth? Edgeworth: This thing is picking something up. Gumshoe: Ah! That's! That's Ms. von Karma's receiver! Gumshoe: Ugh. Thanks to her, I had the most awful experience of my life, sir! Gumshoe: I can't believe she stuck a tracking device on me... Edgeworth: That's odd. Edgeworth: Even though you're standing right here... Edgeworth: The tracking device seems to be in a different location. Gumshoe: Oh... It's probably busted or something, sir. Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: ...Well, it doesn't matter. Edgeworth: I'm afraid it's about time for me to excuse myself. Edgeworth: I still have some work to do. Maya: Huh!? But Mr. Edgeworth! You haven't even eaten anything yet! Phoenix: (And you've eaten way too much, you glutton!) Edgeworth: I had fun tonight. Now, if you'll excuse me... Phoenix: Wait. Edgeworth: What? Phoenix: ... Phoenix: I just want to say... Thanks, Edgeworth. You really saved me out there. Edgeworth: ...Hmph. Edgeworth: If anyone should be saying thanks, it should be me, Wright. Phoenix: (I feel like words alone aren't enough here...) Phoenix: (I wonder if there's anything I can give him to express how I feel...?) *** Present Whip *************************** * * Phoenix: * *TAKE THAT!* * * Edgeworth: * What's this...? * * Phoenix: * Thank you... * It's all thanks to you two. * * Phoenix: * You... and her... * * Edgeworth: * ... * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** Present something wrong **************** * * Phoenix: * *TAKE THAT!* * * Edgeworth: * ... * What's this...? * * Phoenix: * Um...

Pearl: You and Mr. Nick, I mean... Maya: P-Pearly! Would you cut it out already!? You're embarrassing me! Powers: Um, anyway... Powers: So, who's paying for this lovely dinner party? Maya: As if you need to ask! Maya: Everyone say, "Thank you" to Nick! Phoenix: Huh? Gumshoe: Ah, yeah... I'm kinda at the point where I can't even buy instant noodles, pal. Gumshoe: So I kinda already put your name on the bill. Phoenix: Huh? Huh? Lotta: Yeah, I got me a situation just like that myself. Lotta: There's this camera shop in this hotel, see... Lotta: And I just bought myself this good ol' beauty here! It'd better be anyhow for $3,000! Phoenix: Huh? Huh? Huh? Lotta: Actually, I reckon ya bought it for me since it's on yer tab and all.

Edgeworth: Things like tracking devices in his coat, for example. von Karma: Hmph. That's just like you. von Karma: I only planted it there because he was always wearing it. von Karma: This... filthy, drab coat of his... von Karma: I don't know how it ended up in my luggage. von Karma: But it's going in the trash, I promise you that. Edgeworth: Oh, that's right... Speaking of that man...

Edgeworth: What are you going to do now? von Karma: ... von Karma: That's none of your business. Edgeworth: Are you running away? von Karma: Shut up! von Karma: You don't understand a thing! von Karma: You can't possibly understand what it means to be "Manfred von Karma's daughter"! Edgeworth: Franziska... von Karma: So many expectations from everyone around me... Expectations I must fulfill! von Karma: I'm expected to win no matter what. And failure? Such a thing is not an option for me! von Karma: My father was a genius. There's no doubt about that! But... von Karma: But me... I'm no genius. I've always known that. Edgeworth: ... von Karma: But I... I had to be one. I had to. Edgeworth: ... Edgeworth: You may not be a genius like your father... Edgeworth: But... Edgeworth: You are a prosecutor.

Finally, my chance to take my revenge on you arrived. von Karma: If I could win against that man...

Just like how Adrian Andrews did. von Karma: Adrian Andrews...? Edgeworth: You were going to use her during the trial, right? Edgeworth: But you... Edgeworth: You were "dependant" on your father by using his tactics. Isn't that right? von Karma: Hmph! Edgeworth: Today, you chased after me, after I had left you behind all these years.
