PHOENIX WRIGHT OVERVIEW [0201] _______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 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! _______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ III.

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! _______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 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 : Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 --> The lines were cut off as they were in the game, for authenticity. --> If there isn't any , 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: "" --> 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. _______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 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, "Exposé 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. When you're listening to * testimony, you can compare * it with the Court Record. * * Byrde: * If you do that, you're sure to * find contradictions in the * witness's statements! * * Phoenix: * C-Contradictions? * * Byrde: * Well, there are many reasons * why a testimony might * contradict the evidence. * * Byrde: * The witness might be lying, * or maybe they're just * mistaken. * * Phoenix: * Uh huh. * And? * * Byrde: * You still have no idea what * I'm talking about?? * * Byrde: * When you find a contradiction, * open the Court Record to the * item you need... * * Phoenix: * And then I present that * evidence, right!? * * Byrde: * You got it! * * Byrde: * You can also present people's * profiles as evidence! * * Byrde: * With so many items, make sure * you present the right thing! * * Phoenix: * Hmm... Sounds complicated, * but I'll give it a try. * You're pretty good at this. * * Byrde: * Wow, being praised by a pro! * I don't know what to say! * * RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION * ******************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Present Maggey Byrde profile* at (3) or (4) Phoenix: *OBJECTION!* Phoenix: ... 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] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 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! How did * you know what time it was!? * * Wellington: * Tsk, tsk. * I can't believe I have to * deal with a worm like you. * * Wellington: * You're just a shallow man * who can only slam on desks * and point at people for fun. * * Wellington: * Hmph, I guess I don't have * a choice. * * Wellington: * I'll try to explain it so that * even a third-rate simpleton * like you can understand. * * Wellington: * There was this little thing * they call a "clock" at the * park. * * Wellington: * Did you get that?

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?

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. Phoenix: The culprit knew that he had to find his glasses, and searched frantically for them. Phoenix: What he didn't realize was that they were under the victim's body! Phoenix: And that is why it took him 15 minutes to make that call! Judge: M-Mr. Wright! Are you...? Judge: Are you indicting the witness as the real murderer!? Phoenix: Of course!

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. Judge: So basically, you are saying that in order to make the defendant look guilty, Judge: the real criminal used the victim's right hand to write her name on the ground? Wellington: B-But... 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"!? Judge: That is a good point. Judge: The witness didn't even know of Ms. Byrde before this trial. Phoenix: (Ah, I forgot!) Phoenix: (Hmm, was there any way this creep could've known Maggey's name beforehand?) *** There was no way *********************** * * Phoenix: * (No matter how I look at it, * it's no good!) * * Phoenix: * (There is no way he could * have known Maggey or her * name!) * * Maya: * Nick!

Phoenix: You didn't have your cell phone with you on the day of the murder, correct? Wellington: So what if I didn't? Phoenix: When you realized you had lost it, what did you do? Wellington: What did I do? Phoenix: Didn't you try to find it by calling it? Wellington: Why you...! How did you...!? Payne: *OBJECTION!* Payne: Your Honor! These questions have nothing to do with... Judge: Overruled. Judge: Mr. Wright, where are you going with this line of questioning? Judge: Do you think there is some relation between this witness' cell phone and the murder? 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!

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: 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!

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: 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...

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?

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: (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.)

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...) Phoenix: (that is how I ended up visiting Maya's hometown with the doctor...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 19, 1:25 PM Kurain Village Phoenix: (So this is Kurain Village; Maya's hometown.) ? ? ?: ... Phoenix: W-Why, hello there. ? ? ?: ... Phoenix: Hmm... What an odd little girl. ? ? ?: Hey! Wait up, Pearly!! Phoenix: (Hm? Someone else is coming this way...) ? ? ?: Niiiiiiiick! Phoenix: M-Maya. 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: Please take this. I'm sure it will be helpful. Phoenix: ...What do you mean? Pearl: It will let you see people's secrets. Phoenix: See people's... secrets...? Pearl: Yes. Pearl: ...If it's alright with you, I would like to accompany you for a little while. Pearl: I can explain the Magatama's power to you when we meet someone hiding a secret.

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! I'd better think this through all the way!) *** Plead justified self-defense *********** * * Phoenix: * (If Maya is convicted, then * it's all over.) * * Phoenix: * (I really should play it safe, * and try to soften the blow...) * * Phoenix: * Your Honor. * * Phoenix: * The defense would like to * change its plea to "justified * self-defense"... * * von Karma: * Hah. * * Judge: * Understood.

Judge: Eek! von Karma: ... Judge: Oh, yes, of course. Go ahead Detective and give your testimony... von Karma: I think the court would like to hear about the other piece of incriminating evidence! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Incriminating Evidence -- (1) Gumshoe: Sorry, pal but there's an even more incriminating piece of evidence. (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! Phoenix: (Please stop calling me by my full name. 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: (Concentrate and think!) xxx It makes sense. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x Phoenix: x (Ack, it's no good.

Phoenix: (There has to be a snag in her explanation somewhere!) Phoenix: ("She put some distance between them before rushing to make the final blow.")

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... Judge: I believe it has now been proven that Judge: the defendant was standing a ways from the victim when she was shot at. Judge: But do you think this has changed the defendant's situation...? *** It doesn't change anything. ************ * * Phoenix: * (Hmm, even with that * explanation, it feels like * nothing has changed...) * * Phoenix: * (But I can't give up * just yet!) * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** *** It changes everything. ***************** * * CONTINUE * ******************************************** Phoenix: Honestly, Your Honor! This changes everything! Phoenix: The prosecution has claimed that the defendant was aiming to kill by stabbing. Phoenix: If that were true, delivering the final strike with the knife would be ideal. 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! Gumshoe: Oof... Phoenix: (Alright! With this, the rest of the trial should be in the b--) von Karma: ... Phoenix: (...blast radius of disaster.) von Karma: You are such a smart man, Mr. Phoenix Wright. von Karma: To think that you've been able to take a completely hopeless case to this point... von Karma: Now I know why papa had a tough time with you. Mmm, you amuse me... Phoenix: (Uuugh. Of all the things to inherit, why did it have to be that smarmy smile!?) von Karma: Detective. von Karma: How dare you damage my perfect logic!? Gumshoe: H-Huh!?... How is it all my fault?? von Karma: You can start repairing your standing by first removing that three-strand "goatee". von Karma: Oh, and rest assured your punishment will come later. Gumshoe: ...P-Punishment... von Karma: Well then, Your Honor, I think I've had all I can take of this Detective's face. von Karma: I think it's time to call in the next witness. 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] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ June 21, 11:37 AM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3 Phoenix: Phew, that was a close one.

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.

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.

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!...

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: 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!?

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. Judge: ... Phoenix: (I... I don't have even a single witty line...) Mia: It looks like we've been had. Judge: I don't claim to understand this, and I still cannot believe it...

Judge: ...T-To the sleeve? Judge: But... But there isn't anything odd about it... Phoenix: And that is exactly what is so odd. Phoenix: Something that should be there is suddenly missing. von Karma: "Should be there"...? von Karma: Aaaaah! Phoenix: There was a bullet hole in the sleeve of the defendant's costume! Phoenix: If that's the case, then it should be in this picture as well! Judge: Ms. von Karma!! Y-You... Judge: You intended to hide this valuable piece of evidence!? von Karma: ... Judge: You will most certainly be assigned a penalty for this! Phoenix: (Alright. This should do some major damage to her argument...) Mia: Don't celebrate yet. Phoenix: You like to bring down the mood, don't you? Mia: Take a look at Ms. von Karma's face. Phoenix: (Argh! She's got that condescending grin plastered all over her face again.) von Karma: ...Tsk, tsk, jumping the gun again, I see. 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: 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.

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.)

Mia: You mean, it's from Maya's costume that she was wearing at the time of the murder? Phoenix: Yes. Mia: But when Maya was arrested, she was wearing her costume. Phoenix: That just means someone changed her clothes. Mia: Changed her clothes? But why...? Phoenix: I don't know why. Phoenix: But... There is only one person who could've done that. Mia: The one person who was taking care of Maya... My aunt. Mia: ... Phoenix: What's that look mean? Mia: Your argument is too flimsy. Phoenix: Huh?

Phoenix: And yet, somehow, it magically ended up in the incinerator in the center garden. Mia: ...You're right. 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. Phoenix: There is only one person who could've done that. Mia: The one person who was taking care of Maya... My aunt. Phoenix: Exactly! *1 LOCK BROKEN* Mia: You did very well, Phoenix. Phoenix: Thank you. Mia: As long as you have those two pieces of evidence, you can cast suspicion on my aunt. Mia: However. Phoenix: H-However? Mia: Like I said in the beginning, my aunt has an alibi. Phoenix: Yeah... She was with us the whole time... Mia: Here's my final question. You don't have to present solid proof of this for me. Mia: But I want to know. If my aunt is the culprit, then how did she commit the murder? Phoenix: How she did it, huh...? Mia: I want to hear your thoughts.

Mia: Looks like we've gathered everything we could. Mia: All we have to do is win tomorrow! Everything will become apparent then. Phoenix: R-Right, Chief! We won't lose!

Nick... Phoenix: Yeah? Maya: Did you know that Von Karma's daughter is only 18... Just like me...? Phoenix: Um, yeah. ...Why? Maya: I was just thinking about how strong she is... 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! Morning, Pearly! Pearl: You'll be safe today, Mystic Maya! Maya: Huh? What do you mean? Pearl: My mother is coming today to show her support! Maya: Y-Yeah... Yeah! That's right, Pearly! Phoenix: Hey, Pearls... Pearl: ...? Yes, Mr. Nick? Phoenix: Um, do you think you could do me a big favor? Could you channel Mia today too? Pearl: Huh? ...I was sort of hoping to sit in the audience today and watch... Phoenix: ...Please. It's very important to me. I don't feel confident enough without her help... Pearl: Mr. Nick! That's enough! Pearl: You can't show weakness in front of the person you love! Maya: P-Pearly! N-Not this again... Phoenix: Please, can you do this for us, Pearls? Pearl: Um... Alright. I'll do it. I'll do it for Mystic Maya's sake. Pearl: See you later, then! I'll leave you two to your alone time! Phoenix: ...Phew, thank goodness. Maya: Nick? Phoenix: This way, Pearls won't be able to see today's trial... Maya: ...Wh-What do you mean...? What's going on...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 22, 10:00 AM District Court Courtroom No. 2 Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Maya Fey. Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor. von Karma: Let's start already. von Karma: Mr. Phoenix Wright. 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...

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...

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. * * * *
