|INTRODUCTION & FORMATTING RULES|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, well this is a script FAQ for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for the
Nintendo DS, which you should already know. Let me start by saying that this
took a really long time to type. A REEEEEEEEALLY long time. I guess I just
really like this game. Actually, I don't guess. I can safely say I really like
this game.
The formatting of my script FAQ is an issue that must be addressed prior to
the viewing of it. Firstly, the text is in the format shown below.
-Name Tag
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
I cut off the lines exactly where the game cut them off, for authenticity.
A full line of hyphens can indicate a few things.
1. A change of scene
2. A point where the screen fades to black
3. In the investigation chapters, separating the part where characters talk
amongst each other from the parts where you choose what to do (Examine,
present, talk)
A three-sided box of stars (*) around text can serve four different purposes.
1. At points in the game where several options are given, there will be one
box for each option. At the end of the box it will indicate whether you
CONTINUE or RETURN TO QUESTION.
2. When you are asked to present something (not cross-examination), a box
will show what will happen if you present something wrong. Below that
box will be what happens if you present something correctly, not boxed.
3. When you are asked to point out a spot on a photo, map, etc. the same
thing will happen as in point 2. There will be a separate box for what
happens if you show the wrong spot.
4. Perhaps the most common use, during the investigation chapters, will be
to separate text that appears from certain actions. For example, if you
examine a signpost, the text that appears from the examination to the
return to the menu will be inside a box labelled "Examine signpost."
New in Case 4 Chapter 3 is a mini row of hyphens. It didn't occur before this
point, but I will likely use it in the future. It'll show up when the screen
fades, but the characters don't actually go anywhere. (i.e., a flashback.) I'm
not going to go back into previous chapters and change what I've already done
there, but just know that for the chapters ahead.
The cross-examination scene (between two hyphen lines) contains several unique
features. There will be numbers above all the sections of text. Below each
section, tabbed in a few spaces, is what occurs when you press on that point.
At the end of the cross-examination, before the hyphens, there are a few lines
that are not tabbed in, which is what is said after you cycle through all of
the testimony. What is after that scene will be what happens immediately after
the cross-examination music stops. That is usually after an objection, but in
some cases it is not. In those non-objection cases, the requirements for
ending the cross-examination and continuing are at the appropriate point in
the scene.
In cases where a part of a testimony is changed, that part will be numbered #b
(Example: 8b). In the example, 8a will indicate when to change to 8b, and 8b
then follows the rules of a normal piece of testimony, with the press text
below it.
At any point in the game, in the case that a block of text is changed after
you perform a certain task, or go through another block of text, it will be
indicated rather clearly, however there is no fixed format. There is a good
chance that I missed text branches due to the way the game sometimes does
this, so any help would be appreciated.
Lastly, and least importantly because you probably could figure it out, if a
line is missing a name tag, that means there wasn't one. So without further
ado, continue reading to Case 1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*gasp*...gasp*...
Dammit! ...Why me?
I can't get caught...
Not like this!
I-I've gotta find someone
to pin this on...
Someone like... him!
I'll make it look like
HE did it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 3, 9:47 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2
-Phoenix
(Boy am I nervous!)
-Mia
Wright!
-Phoenix
Oh, h-hiya, Chief.
-Mia
Whew,
I'm glad I made it on time.
-Mia
Well, I have to say Phoenix,
I'm impressed!
-Mia
Not everyone takes on a
murder trial right off
the bat like this.
-Mia
It says a lot about
you... and your client as well.
-Phoenix
Um... thanks.
-Phoenix
Actually, it's because
I owe him a favor.
-Mia
A favor?
-Mia
You mean, you knew the
defendant before this case?
-Phoenix
Yes.
-Phoenix
Actually, I kind of owe
my current job to him.
-Phoenix
He's one of the reasons
I became an attorney.
-Mia
Well, that's news to me!
-Phoenix
I want to help him out
any way I can!
-Phoenix
I just... really want to help
him, I owe him that much.
-???
(It's over!)
-???
(My life, everything,
it's all over!)
-Mia
...
-Mia
Isn't that your client
screaming over there?
-Phoenix
Yeah... that's him.
-???
(Death! Despair! Ohhhh!)
-???
(I'm gonna do it,
I'm gonna die!!!)
-Mia
It sounds like
he wants to die...
-Phoenix
Um, yeah. *sigh*
-Butz
Nick!!!
-Phoenix
Hey.
Hey there, Larry.
-Butz
Dude, I'm so guilty!!
Tell them I'm guilty!!!
-Butz
Gimme the death sentence!
I ain't afraid to die!
-Phoenix
What!?
What's wrong, Larry?
-Butz
Oh, it's all over...
I... I'm finished. Finished!
-Butz
I can't live in a world
without her! I can't!
-Butz
Who... who took her away
from me, Nick? Who did this!?
-Butz
Aww, Nick, ya gotta tell me!
Who took my baby away!?
-Phoenix
(Hmm... The person responsible
for your girlfriend's death?)
-Phoenix
(The newspapers say
it was you...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
My name is Phoenix Wright.
-Phoenix
Here's the story:
-Phoenix
My first case is
a fairly simple one.
-Phoenix
A young woman was killed
in her apartment.
-Phoenix
The guy they arrested was
the unlucky sap dating her:
-Phoenix
Larry Butz... my best
friend since grade school.
-Phoenix
Our school had a saying:
"When something smells,
it's usually the Butz."
-Phoenix
In the 23 years I've known
him, it's usually been true.
-Phoenix
He has a knack for getting
himself in trouble.
-Phoenix
One thing I can say though:
It's usually not his fault.
He just has terrible luck.
-Phoenix
But I know better than anyone,
that he's a good guy at heart.
-Phoenix
That and I owe him one.
Which is why I took the
case... to clear his name.
-Phoenix
And that's just what I'm
going to do!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 3, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2
-Judge
The court is now in session for
the trial of Mr. Larry Butz.
-Payne
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The, um, defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Ahem.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Judge
This is your first trial,
is it not?
-Phoenix
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
I'm, um, a little nervous.
-Judge
Your conduct during this
trial will decide the fate
of your client.
-Judge
Murder is a serious charge.
For your client's sake, I hope
you can control your nerves.
-Phoenix
Thank... thank you, Your Honor.
-Judge
...
-Judge
Mr. Wright, given the
circumstances...
-Judge
I think we should have a test
to ascertain your readiness.
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
(Gulp... Hands shaking...
Eyesight... fading...)
-Judge
This test will consist of a
few simple questions. Answer
them clearly and concisely.
-Judge
Please state the name of
the defendant in this case.

I'm drawing a total blank

Phoenix! Are you absolutely

You don't even know the
victim's name!?
-Phoenix
Oh, the victim! O-Of course
I know the victim's name!

I, um, just forgot.

I think I feel a migraine
coming on.

Just touch the Court Record

Remember to check it often.
Do it for me, please.

********************************************
***Hit with a blunt object******************
*
* -Phoenix
* She was struck once,
* by a blunt object.
*
* -Judge
* Correct.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Judge
You've answered all my
questions. I see no reason
why we shouldn't proceed.
-Judge
You seem much more relaxed,
Mr. Wright. Good for you.
-Phoenix
Thank you, Your Honor.
(Because I don't FEEL
relaxed, that's for sure.)
-Judge
Well, then...
-Judge
First, a question for the
prosecution. Mr. Payne?
-Payne
Yes, Your Honor?
-Judge
As Mr. Wright just told us,
the victim was struck with
a blunt object.
-Judge
Would you explain to the court
just what that "object" was?
-Payne
The murder weapon was this
statue of "The Thinker."
-Payne
It was found lying on the
floor, next to the victim.
-Judge
I see... the court accepts
it into evidence.
Statue added to
the Court Record.
-Mia
Wright...
-Mia
Be sure to pay attention to
any evidence added during
the trial.
-Mia
That evidence is the only
ammunition you have in court.
-Mia
Touch the Court Record
button to check the Court
Record frequently.
-Judge
Mr. Payne, the prosecution
may call its first witness.
-Payne
The prosecution calls the
defendant, Mr. Butz, to the
stand.
-Phoenix
Um, Chief, what do I do now?
-Mia
Pay attention. You don't want
to miss any information that
might help your client's case.
-Mia
You'll get your chance to
respond to the prosecution
later, so be ready!
-Mia
Let's just hope he doesn't
say anything... unfortunate.
-Phoenix
(Uh oh, Larry gets excited
easily... this could be bad.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Payne
Ahem.
-Payne
Mr. Butz. Is it not true that
the victim had recently
dumped you?
-Butz
Hey, watch it buddy!
-Butz
We were great together!
We were Romeo and Juliet,
Cleopatra and Mark Anthony!
-Phoenix
(Um... didn't they all die?)
-Butz
I wasn't dumped! She just
wasn't taking my phone calls.
Or seeing me... Ever.
-Butz
WHAT'S IT TO YOU, ANYWAY!?
-Payne
Mr. Butz, what you describe
is generally what we mean
by "dumped."
-Payne
In fact, she had completely
abandoned you... and was
seeing other men!
-Payne
She had just returned from
overseas with one of them
the day before the murder!
-Butz
Whaddya mean, "one of them"!?
-Butz
Lies! All of it, lies!
I don't believe a word of it!
-Payne
Your Honor, the
victim's passport.
-Payne
According to this, she was
in Paris until the day before
she died.
Passport added to
the Court Record.
-Judge
Hmm... Indeed, she appears
to have returned the day
before the murder.
-Butz
Dude... no way...
-Payne
The victim was a model, but
did not have a large income.
-Payne
It appears that she had
several "Sugar Daddies."
-Butz
Daddies?
Sugar?
-Payne
Yes. Older men, who gave
her money and gifts.
-Payne
She took their money and used
it to support her lifestyle.
-Butz
Duuude!
-Payne
We can clearly see what kind
of woman this Ms. Stone was.
-Payne
Tell me, Mr. Butz, what do
you think of her now?
-Mia
Wright...
-Mia
I don't think you want
him to answer that question.
-Phoenix
(Yeah... Larry has a way of
running his mouth in all
the wrong directions.)
-Phoenix
(Should I...?)
***Wait and see what happens****************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Might be better not to
* get involved in this one...
*
* -Payne
* Well, Mr. Butz?
*
* -Butz
* Dude, no way!
* That cheatin' she-dog!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Stop him from answering******************
*
* -Phoenix
* My client had no idea the
* victim was seeing other men!
*
* -Phoenix
* That question is
* irrelevant to this case!
*
* -Payne
* Oof! *wince*
*
* -Butz
* Dude! Nick!
* Whaddya mean, "irrelevant"!?
*
* -Butz
* That cheatin' she-dog!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Butz
I'm gonna die.
I'm just gonna drop dead!
-Butz
Yeah, and when I meet her in
the afterlife...
-Butz
I'm going to get to the bottom
of this!
-Judge
Let's continue with the trial,
shall we?
-Payne
I believe the accused's
motive is clear to everyone.
-Judge
Yes, quite.
-Phoenix
(Oh boy. This is so not
looking good.)
-Payne
Next question!
-Payne
You went to the victim's
apartment on the day of
the murder, did you not?
-Butz
Gulp!
-Payne
Well, did you, or did you not?
-Butz
Heh? Heh heh. Well, maybe
I did, and maybe I didn't!
-Phoenix
(Uh oh. He went.)
-Phoenix
(What do I do?)
***Have him answer honestly*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I know! I'll send him
* a signal...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (TELL THE TRUTH)
*
* -Butz
* Er... Yeah! Yeah!
* I was there! I went!
*
* -Judge
* Order!
*
* -Judge
* Well, Mr. Butz?
*
* -Butz
* Dude, chill!
*
* -Butz
* She wasn't home, man...
* So, like, I didn't see her.
*
* -Payne
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Payne
* Your Honor, the defendant
* is lying.
*
* -Judge
* Lying?
* -Payne
* The prosecution would like
* to call a witness who can
* prove Mr. Butz is lying.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Stop him from answering******************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'll send him a signal...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (LIE LIKE A DOG)
*
* -Butz
* Um, well, see, it's like this:
* I don't remember.
*
* -Payne
* You "don't remember"?
*
* -Payne
* Well then, we'll just
* have to remind you!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I got a bad feeling
* about this...)
*
* -Payne
* We have a witness that can
* prove he DID go to the
* victim's apartment that day!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Judge
Well, that simplifies matters.
Who is your witness?
-Payne
The man who found
the victim's body.
-Payne
Just before making the
gruesome discovery...
-Payne
He saw the defendant fleeing
the scene of the crime!
-Judge
Order! Order in the court!
-Judge
Mr. Payne, the prosecution
may call its witness.
-Payne
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
(This is bad...)
-Payne
On the day of the murder, my
witness was selling newspapers
at the victim's building.
-Payne
Please bring Mr. Frank Sahwit
to the stand!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Payne
Mr. Sahwit, you sell newspaper
subscriptions, is this correct?
-Sahwit
Oh, oh yes!
Newspapers, yes!
-Judge
Mr. Sahwit, you may
proceed with your testimony.
-Judge
Please tell the court what
you saw on the day of the
murder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Sahwit
I was going door-to-door,
selling subscriptions when I saw
a man fleeing an apartment.
(2)
-Sahwit
I thought he must be in a
hurry because he left the
door half-open behind him.
(3)
-Sahwit
Thinking it strange, I looked
inside the apartment.
(4)
-Sahwit
Then I saw her lying there...
A woman... not moving... dead!
(5)
-Sahwit
I quailed in fright and found
myself unable to go inside.
(6)
-Sahwit
I thought to call the police
immediately!
(7)
-Sahwit
However, the phone in her
apartment wasn't working.
(8)
-Sahwit
I went to a nearby park and
found a public phone.
(9)
-Sahwit
I remember the time exactly:
It was 1:00 PM.
(10)
-Sahwit
The man who ran was, without
a doubt, the defendant sitting
right over there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Phoenix
(Larry! Why didn't you
tell the truth?)
-Phoenix
(I can't defend you against
a testimony like that!)
-Judge
Incidentally, why wasn't
the phone in the victim's
apartment working?
-Payne
Your Honor, at the time of
the murder, there was a
blackout in the building.
-Judge
Aren't phones supposed to
work during a blackout?
-Payne
Yes, Your Honor...
-Payne
However, some cordless phones
do not function normally.
-Payne
The phone that Mr. Sahwit
used was one of those.
-Payne
Your Honor...
-Payne
I have a record of the
blackout, for your perusal.
Blackout Record added
to the Court Record.
-Judge
Now, Mr. Wright...
-Phoenix
Yes!
Er... yes, Your Honor?
-Judge
You may begin your
cross-examination.
-Phoenix
C-Cross-examination,
Your Honor?
-Mia
Alright, Wright, this is it.
The real deal!
-Phoenix
Uh... what exactly am I
supposed to do?
-Mia
Why, you expose the lies in
the testimony the witness
just gave!
-Phoenix
Lies! What?! He was lying!?
-Mia
Your client is innocent,
right?
-Mia
Then that witness must have
lied in his testimony!
-Mia
Or is your client really...
guilty?
-Phoenix
!!! How do I prove he's not?
-Mia
You hold the key!
It's in the evidence!
-Mia
Compare the witness's
testimony to the
evidence at hand.
-Mia
There's bound to be a
contradiction in there!
-Mia
First find contradictions
between the Court Record
and the witness's testimony.
-Mia
Then, once you've found the
contradicting evidence...
-Mia
present it and rub
it in the witness's face!
-Phoenix
Um... okay.
-Mia
Touch the Court Record button
and point out contradictions
in the testimony!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Sahwit
I was going door-to-door,
selling subscriptions when I saw
a man fleeing an apartment.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Isn't a man leaving an
apartment a common sight?
-Phoenix
I find it odd you would
take notice of him...
-Sahwit
Er... heh.
-Sahwit
I don't know. He just seemed
strange to me, that's all.
-Sahwit
Like he was mad, and yet
frightened at the same time.
-Sahwit
Just like... a criminal fleeing
the scene of a crime!
-Phoenix
The defense requests that
the witness refrain from
conjecture!
-Payne
Of course. What the witness
means is that the man he saw
looked suspicious.
-Payne
So, what happened next?
(2)
-Sahwit
I thought he must be in a
hurry because he left the
door half-open behind him.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Half-open... you say?
-Sahwit
Yes, yes, the door was
open halfway. Yes.
-Sahwit
I watched for a moment, but
no one came to close the door.
-Sahwit
"That's odd, in a big city
like this," I thought...
-Payne
I see.
And what happened next?
(3)
-Sahwit
Thinking it strange, I looked
inside the apartment.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What gave you the
idea to do that?
-Sahwit
Well, the door was half-open,
you see.
-Sahwit
Isn't it only human
to want to... peek?
-Sahwit
We climb mountains because
they are there!
It's the same thing.
-Payne
Truer words have never
been spoken!
Anyone would look inside!
-Phoenix
(Hmm... why did Payne cut
him off so quickly?)
-Payne
So you looked into the
apartment.
What happened then?
(4)
-Sahwit
Then I saw her lying there...
A woman... not moving... dead!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure she was dead?
-Sahwit
W-Well, no, I guess I wasn't.
-Sahwit
But, she wasn't moving at
all, and there was blood
everywhere.
-Phoenix
(I guess that would look
fatal to anyone...)
-Phoenix
Very well, what happened next?
(5)
-Sahwit
I quailed in fright and found
myself unable to go inside.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So, you didn't touch
ANYTHING in the apartment?
-Sahwit
Um, yes. I mean no! Nothing.
-Phoenix
Okay.
What happened next?
(6)
-Sahwit
I thought to call the police
immediately!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You "thought" to call the
police? Does that mean you
didn't actually call them!?
-Payne
Please, please... Listen to
the rest of the testimony.
-Payne
You thought to call the
police... What happened next?
(7)
-Sahwit
However, the phone in her
apartment wasn't working.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
The phone in her apartment
wasn't working?
-Sahwit
Yes. I mean, no,
no it wasn't. Right.
-Phoenix
But you said you didn't
go into the apartment...
or did you!?
-Sahwit
Oh, oh, that? I can explain
that!
-Sahwit
There was a cordless phone
on a shelf in the entranceway.
-Sahwit
I reached inside and tried
using that to call...
-Payne
And the phone wasn't
working, correct?
-Payne
What happened next?
(8)
-Sahwit
I went to a nearby park and
found a public phone.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why use a public phone?
-Sahwit
Well, you see, I don't
have a cell phone.
-Sahwit
And, being the middle of the
afternoon, there was no answer
at the nearby apartments.
-Phoenix
Ah, right... what time
did you call again?
(9)
-Sahwit
I remember the time exactly:
It was 1:00 PM.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
1:00 PM!
Are you certain?
-Sahwit
Yes.
Absolutely.
-Phoenix
(Hmm... He seems really
confident.)
-Mia
1:00 PM?
-Mia
Wright. Doesn't that
seem strange to you?
-Mia
Present some evidence
to contradict him!
(10)
-Sahwit
The man who ran was, without
a doubt, the defendant sitting
right over there.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you absolutely,
100% positive?
-Sahwit
Yes, it was him.
No mistake about it.
-Payne
The witness says he's certain!
-Mia
That's all of it.
-Mia
There must be a contradiction
in there somewhere.
-Mia
Examine the Court Record button
if something strikes you as
being suspicious.
-Mia
Then, find the evidence that
contradicts his testimony,
and present it to him!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
You found the body at 1:00 PM.
You're sure?
-Sahwit
Yes.
It was 1:00 PM, for certain.
-Phoenix
Frankly, I find that
hard to believe!
-Phoenix
Your statement directly
contradicts the autopsy report.
-Phoenix
The autopsy notes the time
of death at sometime after
4PM.
-Phoenix
There was nobody to... er...
no "body" to find at 1:00 PM!
-Phoenix
How do you explain this
three-hour gap?
-Sahwit
!!!
-Sahwit
Oh, that! Oh, er...
-Payne
*OBJECTION!*
-Payne
This is trivial! The witness
merely forgot the time!
-Judge
After his testimony, I find
that hard to believe.
-Judge
Mr. Sahwit...
-Judge
Why were you so certain
that you found the body
at 1:00 PM?
-Sahwit
I.. er... well, I...
Gee, that's a really good
question!
-Mia
Great job, Wright!
Way to put him on the spot!
-Mia
That's all you have to do:
point out contradictions!
-Mia
Lies always beget more lies!
-Mia
See through one, and their
whole story falls apart!
-Sahwit
Wait!
I remember now!
-Judge
Would you care to give
your testimony again?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Time of Discovery --
(1)
-Sahwit
You see, when I found the
body, I heard the time.
(2)
-Sahwit
There was a voice saying the
time... It was probably
coming from the television.
(3)
-Sahwit
Oh, but it was three hours
off, wasn't it?
(4)
-Sahwit
I guess the victim must
have been watching a video
of a taped program!
(5)
-Sahwit
That's why I thought
it was 1:00 PM!
(6)
-Sahwit
Terribly sorry about
the misunderstanding...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm... I see.
You heard a voice saying
the time on a taped program.
-Judge
Mr. Wright, you may cross-
examine the witness.
-Mia
Wright!
-Mia
You know what to do!
-Phoenix
I've got this one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Time of Discovery --
(1)
-Sahwit
You see, when I found the
body, I heard the time.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You said "heard"...
Not "saw"?
-Sahwit
Yes, heard.
-Sahwit
All I saw was the body
lying there...
-Sahwit
I didn't think to look at
anything else, least of all
my watch.
-Phoenix
Hmm...
Isn't that a little strange?
-Phoenix
So you're saying you
"heard" something.
-Phoenix
But if you were so shocked by
the body, you wouldn't hear
anything at all!
-Payne
*OBJECTION!*
-Payne
The witness did say he
actually heard the time.
-Payne
It's ludicrous to suggest
he "wouldn't hear anything"!
-Judge
Hmm...
I have to agree with
the prosecution.
-Judge
Witness, continue
your testimony.
(2)
-Sahwit
There was a voice saying the
time... It was probably
coming from the television.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure it was a
television and not... a radio?
-Sahwit
Well, no, I guess it
might have been a radio.
-Payne
Incidentally, there was
no radio on the premises.
-Payne
There was only one
large television.
-Mia
Wright!
-Mia
I can't put my finger on it,
but something about this seems
fishy.
-Mia
Something about "hearing"
the television...
-Payne
The witness has testified.
He heard the time.
(3)
-Sahwit
Oh, but it was three hours
off, wasn't it?
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How do you explain the gap!
-Judge
Well, witness?
Can you explain this?
(4)
-Sahwit
I guess the victim must
have been watching a video
of a taped program!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A.. video?
-Sahwit
Yes, that would explain
why the time was wrong!
-Phoenix
True, true...
-Mia
Wright!
-Mia
I think the problem lies
someplace else...
-Judge
We're agreed that you heard
the time at the scene, then.
(5)
-Sahwit
That's why I thought
it was 1:00 PM!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure the voice you
heard said it was 1:00 PM?
-Sahwit
Yes, I can practically hear
it now. It was quite clear.
-Judge
Mr. Payne, has the prosecution
verified this testimony?
-Payne
My apologies, Your Honor.
-Payne
I, too, have only just learned
that the witness "heard"
the time.
-Sahwit
Oh, I'm really sorry. I only
remembered it just now.
(6)
-Sahwit
Terribly sorry about
the misunderstanding...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Well, you just watch it!
-Phoenix
(Hmm... Not much point
pressing him on that one,
was there?)
-Mia
Notice anything suspicious?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Hold it right there!
-Phoenix
The prosecution has said there
was a blackout at the time of
the discovery!
-Phoenix
And this record proves it!
-Sahwit
...!
-Phoenix
You couldn't have heard
a television... or a video!
-Sahwit
Gah!!!
-Sahwit
I... well... urk!
-Judge
The defense has a point.
-Judge
Do you have an explanation
for this, Mr. Sahwit?
-Sahwit
No, I... I find it quite
puzzling myself! Quite!
-Sahwit
...
-Sahwit
Aah!
-Sahwit
W-wait!
I remember now!
-Judge
Mr. Sahwit?
-Judge
The court would prefer to hear
an accurate testimony from the
very beginning.
-Judge
These constant corrections
are harming your credibility.
-Judge
That, and you seem
rather... distraught.
-Sahwit
...!
-Sahwit
M-my apologies, Your Honor!
-Sahwit
It... er, it must have
been the shock of finding
the body!
-Judge
Very well, Mr. Sahwit.
-Judge
Let's hear your testimony
once more please.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Hearing the Time --
(1)
-Sahwit
Actually, I didn't "hear"
the time... I "saw" it!
(2)
-Sahwit
There was a table clock in
the apartment, wasn't there!
(3)
-Sahwit
Yeah, the murder weapon!
The killer used it to
hit the victim!
(4)
-Sahwit
That must have
been what I saw.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
You saw a clock?
I guess that would explain it.
-Judge
The defense may cross-
examine the witness.
-Phoenix
Gladly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Hearing the Time --
(1)
-Sahwit
Actually, I didn't "hear"
the time... I "saw" it!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
That strikes me as a very
suspicious mistake.
-Sahwit
Yes, I can see how you'd
be a little doubtful...
-Sahwit
I'm really sorry. I only
just remembered that
table clock!
-Judge
A "table clock"?
(2)
-Sahwit
There was a table clock in
the apartment, wasn't there!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A "table clock"?
Was there a clock
at the scene?
-Judge
This is the first
I've heard of it!
(3)
-Sahwit
Yeah, the murder weapon!
The killer used it to
hit the victim!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
The... murder weapon?
-Sahwit
Yes, the table clock that
was used as a weapon!
-Sahwit
That's what I just said. Did
you doze off in the middle
of my testimony or something?
-Phoenix
(Something's fishy here...)
(4)
-Sahwit
That must have
been what I saw.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why didn't you tell us
that in the first place?
-Sahwit
I guess it just
slipped my mind!
-Sahwit
I'm not really sure how it
happened myself...
-Payne
The witness says he saw the
table clock. End of story.
-Mia
Now, find the contradiction!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Wait just a moment!
-Phoenix
The murder weapon wasn't
a clock.
It was this statue!
-Phoenix
Now how is this supposed
to be a clock?
-Sahwit
Whaa!?
-Sahwit
Y-you with your "objections,"
and your "evidence"... Just
who do you think you are!?
-Phoenix
Just answer the question,
Mr. Sahwit.
-Sahwit
Hey, I... I saw it there, okay!
That's a clock!
-Payne
Your Honor!
If I may...
-Judge
Yes, Mr. Payne?
-Payne
As the witness stated, this
statue is indeed a clock.
-Payne
The neck is a switch. You just
tilt it, and it says the time
out loud.
-Payne
As it doesn't look like a
clock, I submitted it as a
statue. My apologies.
-Judge
I see.
-Judge
So the murder weapon was a
table clock after all.
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
-Judge
It appears that the witness's
testimony was correct.
This is a clock.
-Judge
Do you have any problems
with his testimony now?
***No***************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess not.
*
* -Phoenix
* There was a clock on the
* scene, so, no problem.
*
* -Mia
* Wright! Are you out
* of your mind!?
*
* -Mia
* That clock doesn't look
* like a clock at all!
*
* -Mia
* The witness couldn't have
* possibly known it was a clock
* just by seeing it!
*
* -Mia
* He said himself, he never
* entered the apartment!
*
* -Mia
* It was in his testimony!
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey!
* You're right!
*
* -Judge
* Is something the matter?
* Does the defense have anything
* to add?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes...
* Yes I do!
*

********************************************
***Yes**************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Your Honor, there is
* a gaping hole in the
* witness's testimony!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
The only way he could have
known the weapon was a clock
is to hold it in his hand.
-Phoenix
Yet the witness testified
that he never entered the
apartment!
-Phoenix
Clearly, a contradiction!
-Judge
Hmm... indeed!
-Phoenix
The witness knew it was
a clock, because he...
***Knew the victim**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me, isn't it true that
* you knew the victim?
*
* -Phoenix
* In fact, you were one of her
* "sugar daddies"! Be frank
* with us, Mr. Sahwit!
*
* -Sahwit
* Hmph.
*
* -Sahwit
* "Frank"? I'm always "Frank"!
*
* -Payne
* Your Honor.
*
* -Payne
* We have complete records of
* the victim's relationships.
*
* -Payne
* Mr. Frank Sahwit does
* not appear anywhere.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
* Oh, really?
*
* -Judge
* Please, Mr. Wright...
* Is "Huh" the best response
* you can muster up?
*
* -Judge
* Try to refrain from making
* off-the-cuff accusations
* in the future.
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor.
* Let me think this over.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
***Went into the apartment******************
*
* -Phoenix
* You're lying!
*
* -Phoenix
* You were inside the apartment
* on the day of the murder!
*
* -Sahwit
* Oh yeah? Prove it!
* Prove I went in there!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'll do better than that!
* I can prove you were the one
* who killed her!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
You struck her with the clock,
and the shock of the blow
triggered the clock's voice!
-Phoenix
That was the sound you heard!
-Judge
Order in the court!
-Judge
Intriguing.
Please continue, Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
Mr. Sahwit.
-Phoenix
The sound must have left
quite an impression on you.
-Phoenix
Understandable, since the
murder weapon spoke just as
you hit the victim!
-Phoenix
That voice was burned
into your mind.
-Phoenix
That's why you were so
certain about the time!
-Payne
*OBJECTION!*
-Payne
W-w-what's the meaning
of this?
-Payne
This is all baseless
conjecture!
-Phoenix
Baseless...?
-Phoenix
Just look at the
witness's face!
-Sahwit
Ngh... grrrah!
-Judge
Would the witness
care to elaborate?
-Judge
Did you strike the
victim with the clock?
-Sahwit
I... I...!
That... that day...
I... I never!
-Sahwit
Look... I... the clock...
I heard, no!
I mean, I saw...Saw... nggg!
-Sahwit
Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
-Sahwit
Shutupshutupshutup!
I hate you!
-Sahwit
I-it was him, I tell you!
I saw him!
-Sahwit
H-he killed her and he
should burn! Burn!
Give him death!
-Judge
Order!
Order in the court I say!
-Payne
Your Honor,
a-a moment please!
-Payne
There isn't a shred of
evidence supporting the
defense's claims!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
-Phoenix
Your Honor?
-Judge
You claim the sound the
witness heard came from
the clock...
-Judge
Do you have any evidence?
-Phoenix
(The whole case is riding
on this! I'd better think
it through carefully!)
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The sound Mr. Sahwit heard
was definitely this clock.
-Phoenix
A fact which is clear
if you simply...
***Examine the clock's batteries************
*
* -Phoenix
* All you have to do
* is examine the batteries!
*
* -Judge
* Indeed? The batteries are...
* in the right way. The clock
* seems to be working fine.
*
* -Judge
* What exactly did
* you mean, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes, the clock was
* working fine!
*
* -Payne
* Yes, and...?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm, I'm sorry, I think
* I got confused back there
* with all those testimonies.
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* I expect more from a lawyer
* in this court. Even if it
* is your first day.
*
* -Judge
* I'm afraid I have to
* penalize you! Try to think

*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor.
* As I was saying...
*
* BACK TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
***Ask the neighbors************************
*
* -Phoenix
* All you have to do is talk
* to the victim's neighbors!
*
* -Judge
* Talk to the neighbors...?
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm sure one of them heard
* the clock tell the time when
* the incident occurred!
*
* -Judge
* I see...
*
* -Judge
* Does the prosecution have
* anything to say, Mr. Payne?
*
* -Payne
* We have already made all
* the necessary inquiries.
*
* -Payne
* Everyone living near the
* victim's apartment was out
* at the time of the murder.
*
* -Payne
* Furthermore, even if a
* neighbor had heard the clock,
*
* -Payne
* that would not prove that

*
* -Judge
* Hmm...

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

-Phoenix
I ask the court to
listen very carefully...
-Alarm clock
...*beep*...
-Alarm clock
[I think it's 8:25.]
-Judge
That certainly is a strange
way to announce the time.
-Phoenix
Well, he is "The Thinker,"
after all.
-Judge
So, we've heard the clock.
What are your conclusions,
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Mr. Payne... can you tell me
what time it is now?
-Payne
It's 11:25...
-Payne
Ack!
-Phoenix
As you can see, this clock
is exactly three hours slow!
-Phoenix
Precisely the discrepancy
between what Mr. Sahwit heard
and the actual time of death!
-Phoenix
So, Mr. Sahwit...
-Phoenix
Try to talk your
way out of this one!
-Sahwit
...
-Sahwit
...Hah! Hah hah!
-Sahwit
You forgot one thing!
-Phoenix
(Uh oh... what's he
talking about...?)
-Sahwit
While it may seem like
that clock IS running three
hours slow...
-Sahwit
It proves nothing!
-Sahwit
How do you know it was
running three days slow
on the day of the murder!?
-Sahwit
If you can't prove that,
you don't have a case!
-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
(He's right! How am I
going to prove that!?)
-Phoenix
(Dammit! I was so close!)
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Judge
It seems you lack the
critical evidence to
support your claim.
-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Judge
This means I cannot let
you indict the witness.
-Judge
Unfortunately...
-Judge
This ends the cross-examination
of Mr. Frank Sahwit.
-Sahwit
I come all the way down here
to testify, and look
what happens!
-Sahwit
They treat me like a
criminal! A criminal!
-Sahwit
You lawyers are all slime!
-Phoenix
(Grr! I almost had him!)
-Phoenix
(Sorry, Larry... I failed you.)
-Phoenix
(There's nothing I can
do about it now...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mia
Not so fast, Mr. Sahwit!
-Phoenix
Mia! I mean, Chief!
-Mia
Listen up, Wright!
-Mia
Don't throw this one away,
not like this! Think!
-Phoenix
But, Chief, it's over.
-Phoenix
I can't prove the clock was
slow the day of the murder!
-Phoenix
Nobody can prove that!
-Mia
Um... well, yes.
-Mia
But that doesn't mean you
can't still win! Try thinking
out of the box!
-Mia
Don't waste time doubting the
facts. Assume the clock was
three hours slow and...
-Mia
Think through it!
-Mia
Ask yourself, "Why was
the clock three hours slow"?
-Mia
Figure out the reason,
and you'll have your proof!
-Mia
Right, Wright?
-Mia
Can you think of a reason as
to why the clock would be
three hours slow?
***No***************************************

********************************************
-Judge
You say the clock was already
running slow on the day of
the murder...
-Judge
Have you found evidence
to support this claim?
-Phoenix
Of course.
-Phoenix
There is a piece of evidence
in the Court Record that can
prove my claim beyond a doubt!
-Sahwit
Hah! Tough words! Let's see
you pull this one off!
-Judge
Let's see this evidence that
proves why the clock was
running slow!
***Present something wrong******************

* One more chance...

*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
The victim had just returned
home from abroad the day
before the murder.
-Phoenix
As we all know, the time
difference between here and
Paris is nine hours!
-Phoenix
When it's 4:00 PM here,
it's 1:00 AM the next day
there.
-Phoenix
The clock wasn't three hours
slow, it was nine hours fast!
-Phoenix
The victim hadn't reset her
clock since returning home!
-Phoenix
That's why the time you heard
when you struck her dead in
her apartment was wrong!
-Phoenix
Proof enough for you,
Mr. Sahwit? Or should
I say... Mr. Did It!
-Sahwit
Ngh! ...!
-Judge
O-order! Order, I say!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Well...
-Judge
This case has certainly
turned out differently
than we all expected.
-Judge
Mr. Payne... your client?
-Payne
He... er... he was arrested
and has been taken away,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Very well.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Judge
I have to say, I'm impressed.
-Judge
I don't think I've ever seen
someone complete a defense
so quickly...
-Judge
and find the true culprit
at the same time!
-Phoenix
Thank you, Your Honor.
-Judge
At this point, this is
only a formality, but...
-Judge
This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Larry Butz...
* N O T G U I L T Y *
-Judge
And with that...
The court is adjourned.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
It turns out that Frank
Sahwit was a common burglar!
-Phoenix
He posed as a newspaper sales-
man to check and see when
people were out of the house!
-Phoenix
That day...
-Phoenix
When Larry went to her
apartment, the victim
wasn't home.
-Phoenix
After he left, Mr. Sahwit
let himself in to do his
dirty work!
-Phoenix
While he was searching her
place, the victim returned!
-Phoenix
Flustered, Mr. Sahwit grabbed
the nearest blunt object he
could find...

August 3, 2:32 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2
-Phoenix
(Whew... I still can't
believe we won!)
-Mia
Wright!
Good job in there!
-Mia
Congratulations!
-Phoenix
Th-thanks, Chief.
I owe it all to you.
-Mia
Not at all, not at all!
You fought your own battles
in there.
-Mia
It's been a while since I've
seen a trial end on such a
satisfying note!
-Phoenix
(I've never seen the chief
looking this happy...)
-Phoenix
(If she's this glad, imagine
how Larry must feel!)
-Butz
My life is over...
-Phoenix
Larry! You're supposed to
be happy! What's wrong now!?
-Butz
Aww, Nick...
-Butz
Don't worry 'bout me!
I'll be dead and gone soon!
-Phoenix
Good! Wait, no! I mean...
Bad! Bad bad bad!
-Phoenix
Larry, you're innocent!
The case is closed.
-Butz
...
-Butz
But... but my Cindy-windy's
gone, man! Gone forever!
-Phoenix
(Larry, she was a...
Nah... Never mind.)
-Mia
Congratulations, Harry!
-Butz
H-Harry...?
-Mia
Yes, you! I can practically
see the headlines now:
"Harry Butz, Innocent!"
-Butz
Heh... um... thanks!
I really owe you one.
-Butz
I won't forget this, ever!
Let's celebrate! Dinner?
Movie? My treat!
-Mia
Oh, no, I couldn't.
-Phoenix
(Hey, I was the one who
got you off the hook!)
-Butz
Oh, hey!
-Butz
H-here, take this!
It's a present!
-Mia
A present? For me?
-Mia
Wait...
Wasn't this the evidence
that...
-Butz
Actually, I made this
clock for her!
-Butz
I made one for her
and one for me.
-Mia
R-really? You? You made this?
-Mia
...
-Mia
Well, thank you.
I'll keep it as a memento.
-Butz
Yo, Nick...
-Butz
Can you believe it?
I was so into that chick...
-Butz
And... and she was just
playing me for a fool!
-Butz
Don't that make you
wanna just cry? *sob*
-Phoenix
Larry...
-Mia
...
-Mia
Are you so sure?
-Butz
Ex-squeeze me?
-Mia
I think she thought quite a
lot of you, in her own way.
-Butz
Nah, you don't gotta
sympathize with me, 'sokay.
-Mia
Oh, I'm not just
sympathizing, really.
-Mia
Isn't that right, Wright?
Don't you have something
to show your friend?
-Mia
Something that proves how
she felt about him?
-Phoenix
H-huh?
Oh, yeah, right!
-Phoenix
(What the heck is
she talking about?)
***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* Here you go, Larry.
* Proof.
*
* -Butz
* ...
*
* -Butz
* Eh... heh heh?
* It's okay, Nick.
* Don't worry about me.
*
* -Butz
* I'll forget about
* her soon enough.
*
* -Butz
* Look, I'm gonna head
* home. Thanks a ton, eh?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Guess that wasn't the
* right thing to show him...)
*
* SKIP TO NEXT SCENE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Check this out, Larry.
Proof Positive you weren't
just some chump to her.
-Butz
Huh...?
Where'd you get that clock?
-Phoenix
This is the clock you
made for her, Larry!
-Phoenix
She took it with her
when she traveled.
-Butz
Hmm, she probably just
needed a clock, that's all.
-Phoenix
You think so? It's a pretty
heavy clock to take traveling.
-Butz
...
-Phoenix
Well, make of it
what you will.
-Butz
...
-Butz
Hey, Nick.
-Butz
I'm glad I asked you
to be my lawyer.
-Butz
Really, I am.
Thanks.
-Phoenix
(Hope that made him feel
a little better...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mia
Wright?
-Mia
I hope you see the importance
of evidence now.
-Mia
Also, hopefully you realize,
things change depending on
how you look at them.
-Mia
People, too.
-Mia
We never really know if
our clients are guilty
or innocent.
-Mia
All we can do is
believe in them.
-Mia
And in order to believe in
them, you have to believe
in yourself.
-Mia
Wright...
-Mia
Listen. Learn. Grow strong.
-Mia
Never let go of what
you believe in. Never.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mia
Well, I think our work here
is done! Shall we be off?
-Phoenix
Yeah, I guess so!
-Mia
Say, how about dinner.
On me?
-Mia
We'll drink a toast
to innocent Butz!
-Phoenix
Yeah!
-Mia
Oh, speaking of Harry...
-Mia
You were saying part of why
you became a lawyer was
because of him.
-Phoenix
Er, yeah. Part, at least.
-Mia
You'll have to tell me
more about it sometime!
Maybe... over drinks?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
And so, my first
trial came to a close.
-Phoenix
Larry slapped me on the back
and said, "Gee, Nick, it's good
to have friends!"
-Phoenix
But I'm pretty sure he's not
going to pay me. Unless you
count the clock he gave Mia.
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
I didn't know it then...
-Phoenix
but that clock was soon
going to be at the center
of another incident.
-Phoenix
And my promise to tell the
chief about me and Larry...
-Phoenix
would be one promise that
I wouldn't be able to keep.

Hello? This is Maya.
-Mia
Hey Maya, it's me.
-???
Mia!
What's up? You haven't
called in a while.
-Mia
Sorry, I've been so busy.
How you been?
-???
Well, LONELY.
And it's all YOUR fault.
-???
Nah, I'm just teasing.
-???
I've been great! I'm finally
getting used to having my
own place.
-Mia
That's good to hear.
-Mia
Actually, I'm calling because
I have a favor to ask.
-???
I know, I know. You want me
to hold evidence for you?
-Mia
Sharp as always!
-Mia
There's a lot of buzz about
the upcoming trial...
-Mia
I just don't feel safe
keeping the evidence here.
-???
I gotcha.
So, what is it this time?
-Mia
It's... a clock.
-???
A clock?
-Mia
Yeah, it's made to look like
that statue, "The Thinker."
And it tells you the time!
-Mia
I thought you might like it.
You always liked toys.
-???
Hey! I'm not a little
girl anymore, Sis!
-Mia
Now, now. You know
I'm only teasing.
-Mia
Ah, I should probably tell
you, the clock isn't talking
right now.
-???
Huh? It's not working?
That's lame!
-Mia
I had to take the
clockwork out. Sorry.
-Mia
I put some papers
inside it instead.
-???
Papers? Is that
the evidence, then?
-???
Hmm, well... there's a
possibility that it might
turn out that way, yes.
-Mia
Can you come by the office
tonight, say 9:00, to pick
it up?
-Mia
I'll be in a pretrial
meeting until then.
-???
Okay, Sis, but I expect
dinner! Something good!
-???
Like... burgers! I could
really go for a good burger.
-Mia
Okay, okay.
We'll hit the usual joint.
-???
Alright! It's a deal!
-???
Okay, Sis, see you soon!
-Mia
Yep.
I'll be waiting, Maya.

Fey & Co. Law Offices
-???
Now, Miss Fey, I'll take
what's mine... the papers.
-Mia
I'm sorry, but I can't
give you what I don't have.
-???
Miss Fey,
you are a poor liar.
-???
Why, I see it right
over there...
-???
That must be "The Thinker"
that swallowed those papers.
-Mia
How could you know...?
-???
Ho hoh. You are not
cogniferous of my
background?
-???
Gathering information is
my business, you see.
-Mia
I... I should have been more
careful.
-???
Ho hoh.
-???
My dear Miss Fey...
I am so very sorry.
-???
But I am afraid I must ask
you for one more thing.

Your eternal silence...
Farewell, Miss Fey.

September 5, 9:08 PM
Fey & Co. Law Offices
-Phoenix
Uh oh, I'm late.
-Phoenix
Huh, that's strange.
The chief must have
gone home already.
-Phoenix
She said her sister was
coming over so we should
all go out for dinner...
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
What's that smell...?
-Phoenix
Blood...?
-Phoenix
Mia!
(Maybe she's in her office!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine Anything*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I smell blood...
* and that can't be good!
*
* -Phoenix
* I have to check and see if
* Mia... the Chief's okay!
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: Office

That smell... Blood!

Sis...
-Phoenix
(Someone's there!)
-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
Chief? Chief...?
-Phoenix
Chief!!!
-Phoenix
Who are you?
-???
...
-Phoenix
(The strange girl dropped out
cold. I left her lying on
the office sofa.)
-Phoenix
(I went back to the chief
where she lay under the
window.)
-Phoenix
(Her body was still warm...)
-Phoenix
(I could feel it when
held her shoulder.)
-Phoenix
(Then, all too quickly,
it began to fade...)
-Phoenix
(Until finally she was cold.)
-Phoenix
Chief...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine window***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a large building
* right across from the office.
*
* -Phoenix
* The "Gatewater Hotel."
* A nice, luxurious place.
*
********************************************
***Examine the thinker**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* It's encrusted with

*
* -Phoenix
* How ironic that this became
* the murder weapon... again.
*
********************************************
***Examine shards of glass******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Some shards of glass are

*
* -Phoenix
* They seem to be the remains

*
********************************************
***Examine office chair*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The chief's chair.
*
* -Phoenix
* A simple, functional design.

*
********************************************
***Examine Mia******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Chief...
*
* -Phoenix
* It's hard seeing her like
* this, but if there are any
* clues here...
*
* -Phoenix
* She was struck on the head
* with a blunt object.
*
* -Phoenix
* She probably died instantly.
*
* -Phoenix
* "The Thinker" lying next
* to her must have been
* the murder weapon.
*
* The Thinker added
* to the Court Record.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm... there are some glass
* shards near the chief's body.
*
* -Phoenix
* Must be pieces of the glass
* light stand lying broken in
* the back of the room.
*
* Glass Shards added
* to the Court Record.
*
* -Phoenix
* Nothing else that seems
* like a clue here...
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm...?
*
* -Phoenix
* A piece of paper! It must
* have fallen from Mia's hand!
*
* -Phoenix
* What could it be?
*
********************************************
***Examine Mia again************************
*
* -Phoenix
* It's painful to look... but
* I have to, for Mia's sake.
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like she was hit
* in the head with a blunt
* weapon.
*
* -Phoenix
* She probably died
* instantly.
*
********************************************
***Examine paper before meeting Maya********
*
* -Phoenix
* !
*
* -Phoenix
* A word is written in blood
* on this scrap of paper!
*
* -Phoenix
* "Maya"...?
* Did Mia write this?
*
* -Phoenix
* This piece of paper is a
* receipt from a department
* store, dated yesterday.
*
* Receipt added to
* the Court Record.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think that's enough
* snooping around for now.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better call the police...)

* ("Maya"...!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Was Mia trying to tell us
* something about that girl?)
*
* -Phoenix

* The Fey & Co. ledger book.
*
* -Phoenix
* Everything is written in

* handwriting.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's a small office, but
* it makes a good bit of money.
*
********************************************
***Examine desk*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A perfectly normal office
* desk.
*
* -Phoenix
* The chief had a very
* particular policy about
* office décor:
*
* -Phoenix
* "Spend big on stuff the
* clients use, but keep your
* own stuff simple."
*
********************************************
***Examine computer*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Surprisingly, the chief
* was never good with machines.
*
* -Phoenix
* About all she used this
* PC for was e-mail.
*
* -Phoenix
* She picked up this ancient
* model at some garage sale
* for practically nothing.
*
********************************************
***Examine right bookcase*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* All the chief's important
* documents are packed in here.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is where she filed

* recent rulings.
*
********************************************
***Examine telephone************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right!
* I'd better call the police!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...?
*
* -Phoenix
* That's funny...
*
* -Phoenix
* A few of the screws on the
* receiver are missing...
*
* -Phoenix
* It looks like someone was
* halfway through taking
* it apart.
*
* -???
* Police!?
*
* -???
* Please, come quick!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wh-what was that!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Someone screaming from
* outside the window!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Phoenix
* She's staring right at me!
*
* -Phoenix
* She's holding a phone
* in her hand...
*
********************************************
***Examine phone again**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The phone receiver is missing
* a few screws.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'd better not use it.

-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
(That girl just now...
where'd she go!?)
-Phoenix
(I put her right there

-Phoenix
(Uh oh... I hope she

-Phoenix
Yipes!

Umm...

Excuse me but, who are you?

It's okay. I work here.

Maya...

Maya Fey.

Maya... Fey?
CONTINUE IF RECEIPT IS IN COURT RECORD, JUMP TO NEXT SCENE BREAK IF NOT.
-Phoenix
("Maya"...?)
-Phoenix
(So Mia was writing
this girl's name!)
-Phoenix
(Maybe I should show
her the receipt?)
-Phoenix
(I never thought there'd be a
use for evidence like this
outside the courtroom!)

***Talk about "What happened"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* (She seems to be in shock.
* I don't want to disturb her,

* -Phoenix
* Um... excuse me?
*
* -Phoenix
* Can you tell me
* what happened?
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I came in...

********************************************
***Talk about "You and the Chief"***********

* -Maya
* Sister. I'm her

* And you were here... visiting?

* Yes. She said she wanted me

* Evidence...?

* -Maya
* Yes...
* I-it was that clock...

* weapon...)
*
********************************************
***Present Glass Shards*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* This was lying next
* to the chief.
*
* -Maya
* I know. I saw it there too.
*
* -Maya
* I thought they might be
* pieces of the light stand.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm. Maybe.

* -Phoenix
* (Never heard of a glass
* light stand before...)
*
********************************************
***Present Receipt**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Before Mia died, she wrote

*
* -Phoenix
* She wrote it on the

*
* -Maya
* Th-th-that's MY name!
*
* -Maya
* W-why!?
* Why would she write my name?
*
* -Phoenix
* Please, just calm down.
*
* -Maya
* W-why would
* Sis write my name?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Uh-oh. Now I've done it...)
*
* CONTINUE IF TELEPHONE NOT EXAMINED
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better hurry up
* and call the police!)
*
********************************************
***Examine door*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The door to the chief's
* office. It's slightly open.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'd better not touch
* the door knob.
*
********************************************
***Examine bookshelf************************
*
* -Phoenix
* You couldn't cram more legal

* wanted to.
*
* -Phoenix
* Few can gaze upon the shelves
* without feeling insignificant.
*
********************************************

*
* -Phoenix
* A small writing desk cluttered

***Examine reception desk*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* The reception desk.
* I usually sit here.
*
********************************************
***Examine painting*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A large painting.
* I guess you'd call
* this "modern art."
*
* -Phoenix
* I, on the other hand,
* call it a mistake.
*
********************************************
***Examine sofa*****************************

* -Phoenix
* This sofa is for clients.

Freeze! Police!
-Gumshoe
Alright, I'm Detective
Dick Gumshoe, see?
-Phoenix
(Gumshoe...?
What an odd name.)
-Gumshoe
We received a report from the
building across the way, see.
-Gumshoe
Got a person saying
they saw a murder.
-Phoenix
(It must have been
that woman I saw.)
-Gumshoe
Anyway, I don't want either

WHAAAAT!?

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

With her dying breath, she
wrote down the killer's name!
-Maya
K-killer...? I'm not--
-Gumshoe
Case closed! You're coming
down to the precinct, ma'am.
-Maya
W-what?

-Phoenix
Mia's younger sister, Maya,
was arrested on the spot.
-Phoenix
I was taken in for questioning
and didn't get out until the
next morning.
-Phoenix
My eyes were heavy...
but I couldn't sleep.
-Phoenix
I sat around, waiting for
visiting hours to begin at

G-good morning.
-Phoenix
Good morning!
-Phoenix
(She looks so tired...)
-Maya
Um...
-Maya
Are you going to
be my attorney?
-Phoenix
Well, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about...
***It's up to you***************************

-Phoenix
* (I'd better give it

*
* -Phoenix
* It's up to you.
*
* -Maya
* Up... to me?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes. I don't think this is
* something I should decide.
*
* -Phoenix
* After all, you're the one
* in trouble here.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* They're never going to
* believe me... are they?

* -Maya
* Even you, when you found me
* in the office. You looked at

No, no! I never thought...

I-it's okay.
I understand.
-Maya
...
-Maya
And.. I've also heard
about you.
-Phoenix
Heard...? Heard what
about me?
-Maya
I... was talking to my sister
on the phone the other day...
-Mia
"Today was my junior partner's
first time in court."
-Maya
Wow! Really?
How'd that go?
-Mia
"It was quite the scene!"
-Mia
"Honestly, I was on edge
the whole time. It's
been a while..."
-Maya
Hah! So, he crashed and
burned?
-Mia
"...He's a genius."
-Mia
"One of those 'strike fear
into the hearts of evil'
types..."
-Mia
"The only thing he's lacking
is... experience."
-Maya
Huh, sounds like it was fun!
-Maya
Well, I know who to go to if
I ever get into trouble now!
-Mia
"I don't know, Maya."
-Mia
"I think you might want
to wait... give him three
more years."
-Mia
"That is, unless you want
to be found guilty."
-Maya
That's what she said!
-Phoenix
...
-Maya
I-I'm sorry!
-Maya
I didn't mean to
trouble you...
-Phoenix
No, it's okay.
It's true, I guess.
-Phoenix
But... at the same time,
I can't just sit and watch!
-Phoenix
When I think of the person
who did this to Mia...
-Maya
...
-Maya
I know...

* Oh, this?

* This is what all acolytes

* A-acolytes? Like people in

*
* -Maya
* Oh! It's nothing

* I'm a spirit medium.

*
* -Maya
* She wanted me to hold onto
* a piece of evidence for an

*
* -Phoenix
* Evidence?
*
* -Maya
* Yes. That clock shaped like
* "The Thinker."
*
* -Phoenix
* (The one Larry made...)
*
* -Phoenix
* How could that have been
* evidence in a case?
*
* -Maya
* Um, right, she said

*
* -Maya

* Do you want to hear it

* Right!
*
* -Maya
* Oh!
*

* I just remembered: that

*
* -Maya
* Sorry.
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, right.

* Sorry... I know

*
* -Maya
* No, it's okay.
*
* -Maya
* All I've been doing the

*
* -Maya
* I've kind of gotten

*
* -Maya
* Let's see... that morning,
* I got a call from my sister.
*
* -Maya
* She wanted me to hold onto
* a piece of evidence for an
* upcoming trial.
*
* -Phoenix
* (That's "The Thinker" clock

*
* -Phoenix
* (It practically qualifies

*
* -Phoenix
* So then, when did you
* arrive at the office?
*
* -Maya
* It was right around 9:00.
*
* -Maya
* The lights were off and...
* I could smell blood.
*
* -Maya

* -Phoenix
* Thanks, Maya.

***Talk about "Spirit mediums"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* So you're an acolyte.
* A, er, medium-in-training.
*
* -Maya
* That's right.
*
* -Maya
* The Fey family, especially the
* women, have always been very
* sensitive to the spirit world.
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait a second, you said
* the "Fey Family"?
*
* -Phoenix
* So, Mia was into
* this stuff too?
*
* -Maya
* Of course!
*
* -Maya
* She left the mountain to
* "follow her career," she said.
*
* -Maya
* Her powers were first-

*
* -Phoenix
* (I... I had no idea.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm...
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait...!
*
* -Maya
* What?
*
* -Phoenix
* So, you're a real, honest-
* to-goodness spirit medium?
* With E.S.P. and all that?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
* ...In training.
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, can't you contact
* Mia's spirit, then?
*
* -Phoenix
* We can just ask
* her who killed her!
*
* -Maya
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* I-I'm sorry...
*
* -Maya
* I'm still in training.
*
* -Maya
* I couldn't do something

*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm... I thought that
* would be too easy.)

Um...!

Huh? Something the matter?

Um... I was wondering,

...?
-Maya
This is the address of
a famous lawyer.
-Maya
My sister gave me
this a long time ago.
-Maya
She said if I was ever in
trouble, I should call him.
-Maya
And, well, I'm in trouble.
-Maya
Do you think you could go
ask him to represent me?
-Phoenix
(Hmm...)
***Accept***********************************

* -Maya
* ...You're right.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Something wrong?
*
* -Maya
* Actually, I asked the police
* to contact him, and they
* tried calling a few times.
*
* -Maya
* Nobody could get

*
* -Phoenix
* They couldn't find him?

They told me that if I don't

Ah, guess I got the

Sorry 'bout that.

* * -Gumshoe
* * Aww, don't talk about him

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

* *

Um, yes, thank you.

Oh, wait.

One more thing I wanted

I don't suppose you're

Anyway, you'd better not!
-Gumshoe
No influencing the witness

-Phoenix
The... witness?
-Gumshoe
Yeah, Miss April May.
-Gumshoe
I'm sorry 'bout this...
-Gumshoe
But I can't tell you

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

-Gumshoe
Ahah! You're trying your

-Gumshoe
She's not to go outside her
room until the trial!
-Phoenix
(So... she's still in the
hotel across the way.)
-Phoenix
I guess I should no better

You got that right, pal!

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

* I only had my sister.

* My father died when

***Talk about "Your mother"*****************
*
* -Maya
* The women in my family have
* been mediums for generations.
*
* -Maya
* They say that E.S.P.
* runs in our blood.
*
* -Maya
* About fifteen years ago,
*
* -Maya
* our family was involved
* in an... incident.
*
* -Maya
* There was a man,
* and he... he...
*
* -Maya
* He ruined our mother's life.
*
* -Phoenix
* ("Ruined"...?)
*
* -Maya
* After that, she disappeared.
*
* -Maya
* Several years after that,
*
* -Maya
* my sister announced she would
* "become a lawyer" and she
* left the mountain.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* So, you live by yourself?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
* I've gotten used to it.
*
* -Maya
* Oh, also...
*
* -Maya
* I had to become independent,
* or I would lose my E.S.P.!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I feel bad for her,
* all by herself up
* on that mountain...)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Your mother's enemy"*********
*
* -Phoenix
* So, who was this man
* who, um, "ruined" your mother?
*
* -Maya
* About 15 years ago...
* there was an unusual
* murder case.
*
* -Maya
* It made quite a stir,
* everyone was talking
* about it, apparently.
*
* -Maya
* The police were running out
* of leads, and they were
* getting desperate...
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait... they didn't use
* a spirit medium, did they?
*
* -Maya
* The police convinced my mother
* to try to contact the victim.
*
* -Phoenix
* Wow...
* So, what happened?
*
* -Maya
* The case was solved...
* we thought.
*
* -Phoenix
* You "thought"...?
*
* -Maya
* The man my mother helped
* the police capture was
* innocent.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* The police's consultation with
* a medium had all been carried
* out in secret, of course.
*
* -Maya
* But...
*
* -Maya
* A man found out about it
* and leaked it to the press.
*
* -Maya
* He told all the papers that
* my mother was a fraud, and the
* media jumped on it big time.
*
* -Maya
* She... my mother... became
* the laughing stock of the
* nation.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* White...
*
* -Phoenix
* Excuse me? White?
*
* -Maya
* That was his name.
* My sister told me.
*
* -Phoenix
* White? Hmm...

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

Gee! This is all like

* (But there's something
* about this whole thing
* that smells... fishy.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (That witness's strange
* behavior... was that
* all an act?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (And the way that lawyer
* refused to help out Maya...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But more than all that,
* she has no one left
* to help her!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Nothing is more sad,
* or more lonely than that.)

-Phoenix
(I know... I've been there.
A long time ago.)
-Phoenix
(Why did I become a lawyer
in the first place...?)
-Phoenix
(Because someone has to look
out for the people who have
no one on their side.)
-Phoenix
Maya...
-Phoenix
I won't abandon you.
You can count on me.
-Maya
...
-Maya
That's so kind of you...
-Maya
*sniff*...
-Maya
...
-Phoenix
Well!
-Phoenix
Let's fight this one
and get you out of here!
-Maya
R-right!
Thank you!
-Phoenix
(Whew, she smiled at last.
She looks like an entirely
different person!)
-Phoenix
One last question...
You are innocent, right?
-Maya
Yes!
-Maya
And I trust you...
-Maya
So you trust me,
too, okay?
-Phoenix
It's a deal.
-Phoenix
(So, what next...)
-Phoenix
(There's something that's
been bugging me...)
-Phoenix
(Just what was inside
that strange woman's
drawer?)
-Phoenix
(It was when I tried to
look into the drawer that
she got all defensive.)
-Phoenix
(There has to be
something in there!)
MOVE TO: Gatewater Hotel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Bellboy
Good afternoon, sir!
-Phoenix
Excuse me, you are...?
-Bellboy
Ah, I beg your pardon, sir!
-Bellboy
I am the bellboy of
this establishment,
at your service, sir.
-Phoenix
Oh, right.
-Bellboy
I've just come up to
deliver room service, sir.
-Phoenix
Um... do you know where
Miss May might be?
-Bellboy
Ah. I believe our guest
Miss May is currently using
the, er, facilities...?
-Bellboy
If you've no need of
anything, I'll be
taking my leave.
-Bellboy
Please, stay as long as you
like. Enjoy...
-Phoenix
Yeah...
-Phoenix
Wait... no! Hey!
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
(Why does it seem like every
time I come here, I end up
embarrassing myself?)
-Phoenix
(Wait... now's my chance
to snoop around a bit!)
-Bellboy
Ah, I almost forgot!
-Phoenix
Gah!
Y-you came back quick!
-Bellboy
Might I ask you to inform
Miss May that there is a
message for her?
-Bellboy
Please tell her that
Mr. White, of Bluecorp phoned.
-Phoenix
Oh, right. Sure.
-Phoenix
(Mr. White... of Bluecorp?
Where have I heard that name?)
-Maya
White...
-Maya
That was his name.
My sister told me.
-Phoenix
("White" was the name of the
guy who ruined Mia and
Maya's mother!)
-Phoenix
(Could it be a coincidence?)
***Examine open drawer**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a screwdriver sticking
* out of that half-open drawer.
*
* -Phoenix
* Now's my chance to
* see what's inside!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Phoenix
* What do we have here!
*
* -Phoenix
* A... wiretap?
* Hmm!
*
* -Phoenix
* What would a woman like her
* be doing with a thing like this?
*
* Wiretap added to
* the Court Record.

********************************************
-Phoenix
There is definitely
something suspicious
about this "Miss May"!
-Phoenix
Why would she have something
like this in her hotel room?
-Phoenix
There's a story behind all
this, I know it!
-Phoenix
Alright...
-Phoenix
I'll be using this bit of
evidence in tomorrow's
trial, that's for sure.
-Phoenix
For Maya's sake...
-Phoenix
I'll get to this woman's
bottom! Wait... I mean
... you know what I mean.
-April
Oh, bellboy...?
Still there?
-Phoenix
(Uh oh, time to scram!)
-Phoenix
(I look forward to tangoing
with you tomorrow, Miss May!)
-Phoenix
(In court!)

|EPISODE 2 - TURNABOUT SISTERS|
|DAY 2 - TRIAL |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 7, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1
-Judge
The court is now in session
for the trial of Ms. Maya Fey.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is
ready, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense
is ready, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
(Miles Edgeworth...)
-Phoenix
(I'd better not show any signs
of weakness today, or he'll
be on me in an instant.)
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth.
Please give the court
your opening statement.
-Edgeworth
Thank you, Your Honor.
The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,
was at the scene of the crime.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution has evidence
she committed this murder...
-Edgeworth
and we have a witness
who saw her do it.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution sees no
reason to doubt the facts
of this case, Your Honor.
-Judge
I see.
-Judge
Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.
Let's begin then.
-Edgeworth
You may call your
first witness.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls the
chief officer at the scene,
Detective Gumshoe!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Witness, please state your
name and profession to
the court.
-Gumshoe
Sir!
-Gumshoe
My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir!
-Gumshoe
I'm the detective in
charge of homicides
down at the precinct, sir!
-Edgeworth
Detective Gumshoe.
-Edgeworth
Please, describe for us
the details of this murder.
-Gumshoe
Very well, sir!
Let me use this floor map
of the office to explain.
-Gumshoe
The body was found by
this window, here.
-Edgeworth
And the cause of death?
-Gumshoe
Loss of blood due to being
struck by a blunt object, sir!
-Gumshoe
The murder weapon was a statue
of "The Thinker" found next
to the body, sir!
-Gumshoe
It was heavy enough to
be a deadly weapon, even
in a girl's hands, sir!
-Judge
The court accepts the
statue as evidence.
-Phoenix
(They're still calling
it a "statue"...)
Floor plans added to
the Court Record.
-Edgeworth
Now, Detective...
-Gumshoe
Y-yes sir!
-Edgeworth
You immediately arrested
Ms. Maya Fey, who was found
at the scene, correct?
-Edgeworth
Can you tell me why?
-Gumshoe
Yes sir!
I had hard evidence
she did it, sir!
-Judge
Hmm.
Detective Gumshoe,
-Judge
Please testify to the court
about this "hard evidence."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Maya Fey's Arrest --
(1)
-Gumshoe
As soon as the phone call came
in, I rushed to the scene!
(2)
-Gumshoe
There were two people
there already:
(3)
-Gumshoe
The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,
and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix
Wright.
(4)
-Gumshoe
I immediately arrested
Ms. Maya Fey!
(5)
-Gumshoe
Why? We had a witness
account describing her!
(6)
-Gumshoe
The witness saw Ms. Maya
Fey at the very moment of
the murder!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
The very moment, you say.
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright,
you may begin your
cross-examination.
-Phoenix
Y-yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
(Cross-examine what...?)
-Phoenix
(I couldn't see a single
contradiction in that
testimony...)
...whoosh...
SMACK!
-Phoenix
(Hey! Maya just threw
something at me...)
-Phoenix
(What's this?)
-Phoenix
("When my sister couldn't
find any contradictions
in a witness's testimony")
-Phoenix
("she would bluff it and
press the witness on
every detail!")
-Phoenix
("The witness always slips
up and says something
wrong...")
-Phoenix
("It worked lots of times!")
-Phoenix
(Heh... I should have expected
Maya would know some of
her sister's tricks!)
-Phoenix
(Alright.
Let's give this a try!)
-Judge
Something the matter?
-Phoenix
No, Your Honor.
I'd like to begin my
cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Maya Fey's Arrest --
(1)
-Gumshoe
As soon as the phone call came
in, I rushed to the scene!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Who did you say you
got a call from?
-Gumshoe
Hey pal, don't play
dumb! You know who!
-Gumshoe
The call was from a customer
at the Gatewater Hotel, right
across from the crime scene!
-Phoenix
(Hmm... okay, I pressed.
Not sure it did much, though.)
-Phoenix
Right.
Please continue.
(2)
-Gumshoe
There were two people
there already:
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Detective Gumshoe, how
long would you say it took,
-Phoenix
between you receiving
the call, and your arrival
at the scene of the crime?
-Gumshoe
Hmm, right... I'd say
it was about 3 minutes!
-Phoenix
Th-that's pretty fast!
-Gumshoe
Our motto this month
is "quick response"!
