|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

*
* -Phoenix
* (That witness's strange

*
* -Phoenix
* (And the way that lawyer
* refused to help out Maya...)
*
* -Phoenix

-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

* Now's my chance to

* -Phoenix

*
* -Phoenix
* What do we have here!
*
* -Phoenix
* A... wiretap?
* Hmm!

* What would a woman like her

*
* Wiretap added to

********************************************
-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!)

|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"!
-Gumshoe
That's how I got there
before the killer got away!
-Edgeworth
Indeed!
-Edgeworth
So, tell us who the two
people you found on the
scene were.
-Gumshoe
Yes sir!
(3)
-Gumshoe
The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,
and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix
Wright.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you absolutely
sure it was us?
-Gumshoe
Listen pal, your dumb act
will only get you so far!
-Gumshoe
With her funky hippie clothes
and your spiky hair?
-Gumshoe
You two stand out like...
like suspicious people
at a crime scene!
-Phoenix
(Well... he does have
a point about her.)
-Phoenix
(She is pretty unmistakable.)
-Phoenix
(I should pick my points
to press with a little
more care...)
(4)
-Gumshoe
I immediately arrested
Ms. Maya Fey!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why's that?
What's your reason?
(5)
-Gumshoe
Why? We had a witness
account describing her!
END CROSS-EXAMINATION
(6)
-Gumshoe
The witness saw Ms. Maya
Fey at the very moment of
the murder!
END CROSS-EXAMINATION
-Phoenix
(I can't see a single
contradiction in there!)
-Phoenix
(I'll just have to take
Maya's advice and press
him on anything suspicious!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Hold on just one second!
-Gumshoe
Y-yeah?
-Phoenix
If I heard correctly...
-Phoenix
You said you arrested her
because you had "hard
evidence" she did it, correct?
-Gumshoe
Huh?
-Gumshoe
Did... did I say that? Me?
-Phoenix
I heard you say it!
-Judge
You did say it.
-Edgeworth
You said it.
-Phoenix
Exactly what about this
suspicious woman in pink's
claim was "hard evidence"!?
-Gumshoe
Wh-what!?
-Gumshoe
Miss May isn't suspicious,
and she sure isn't pink, pal!
-Gumshoe
W-well, I guess she
is pink...
-Judge
That's enough,
Detective Gumshoe.
-Judge
Do you have any more
solid proof other than
her claims, Detective?
-Gumshoe
Umm...
-Phoenix
(Hmm! I guess pressing
can have its advantages!)
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
Yes.
-Phoenix
(Gah!)
-Gumshoe
Sorry, I got the order
of things mixed up in my
testimony, Your Honor Sir!
-Gumshoe
There was something I
should have told you
about first, Your Honor!
-Judge
Very well, Detective. Let's
hear your testimony again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Hard Evidence --
(1)
-Gumshoe
After securing the suspect,
I examined the scene of
the crime with my own eyes.
(2)
-Gumshoe
I found a memo written on
a piece of paper next to
the victim's body!
(3)
-Gumshoe
On it, the word "Maya"
was written clearly in blood!
(4)
-Gumshoe
Lab test results showed that
the blood was the victim's!
(5)
-Gumshoe
Also, there was blood found
on the victim's finger!
(6)
-Gumshoe
Before she died, the victim
wrote the killer's name!
-Gumshoe
How you like that?
That's my "hard evidence"!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Before we begin cross-
examination, I have a
question for you, Detective.
-Gumshoe
Y-Your Honor?
-Judge
Why didn't you testify about
this vital piece of evidence
the first time!?
-Gumshoe
Ah... eh... I know. I'm real
embarrassed I forgot about
it, Your Honor Sir.
-Judge
Try to be more careful!
-Judge
Very well, the defense may
begin its cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Hard Evidence --
(1)
-Gumshoe
After securing the suspect,
I examined the scene of
the crime with my own eyes.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
And did you find
any evidence?
-Gumshoe
Now, now, don't jump
the gun on me, pal.
-Gumshoe
Just listen. I'm getting
to the good part!
-Phoenix
(I got a bad feeling
about this...)
(2)
-Gumshoe
I found a memo written on
a piece of paper next to
the victim's body!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Just because you found it
next to the body doesn't
mean the victim wrote it!
-Gumshoe
Ho hoh!
Then who did write
it, smarty-pants?
-Phoenix
Wh-who? Um...
***The killer*******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Th-the killer!
* Anyone can see that!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hoh.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You're saying the killer
* wrote her OWN name!?
* Buddy, please!
*
* -Phoenix
* She was framed!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hold on.
*
* -Edgeworth
* If that's the case,
* where's your evidence?
*
* -Phoenix
* Ah...
* (Urk!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah! I guess that was
* a bit of a tall order
* for you.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Those without evidence
* shouldn't open their
* mouths, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, pal!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Argh...!)
*
********************************************
***Miss May*********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well... it could have been
* the witness, Miss May!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hold on.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The witness was in her
* hotel room, not the office.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Try pulling the other leg,
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, and while you're at
* it, pull mine too, pal!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Argh...!)
*
********************************************
***I did************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* It... it could have been me!
*
* -Gumshoe
* What! S-so it was you!
*
* -Phoenix
* No, no, no, I'm just saying
* it COULD have been me!
*
* -Phoenix
* Can you prove it wasn't?
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hold on.
*
* -Edgeworth
* So, you admit to this?
*
* -Edgeworth
* You admit that you
* wrote the note?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Listen to me, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Edgeworth
* This is a court of law, and
* I expect you to refrain from
* making thoughtless statements!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Amateur!
*
* -Phoenix
* (...!)
*
********************************************
-Edgeworth
Well, Detective?
Tell us what was written
on that memo you found.
(3)
-Gumshoe
On it, the word "Maya"
was written clearly in blood!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Do you have proof it
was Mia who wrote that!?
-Gumshoe
Of course I do, pal!
-Phoenix
(Uh oh... he sounded pretty
confident. This might
not be good...)
(4)
-Gumshoe
Lab test results showed that
the blood was the victim's!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What kind of "tests"
were these again?
-Gumshoe
Huh? What kind?
Umm... well...
-Gumshoe
I hear they take the, um,
little bits in the blood,
the... er... hemo... hemogl...
-Gumshoe
Hermo... goblins... hobgob...
Er...? Herma-goblin bobbin...
-Gumshoe
I-I refuse to testify
on this matter, sir!
-Gumshoe
I'm no expert on blood tests!
-Judge
Yes, that was quite clear.
You may continue with
your testimony.
-Gumshoe
Th-thanks, pal.
I mean Your Honor Sir.
-Edgeworth
Detective Gumshoe.
-Gumshoe
Y-yeah?
-Edgeworth
I think you can expect
a pleasant bonus in your
next pay check.
-Gumshoe
Oh? Oh hoh hoh.
-Phoenix
(That was a mess...)
-Gumshoe
Right! Where was I?
(5)
-Gumshoe
Also, there was blood found
on the victim's finger!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
On which hand was the
bloody finger, Detective?
-Gumshoe
The right hand!
-Phoenix
(Hmm... she WAS right
handed...)
-Gumshoe
Hah hah hah!
Nice try!
-Phoenix
(Uh oh... I guess it wasn't
too hard to see what I
was getting at there.)
(6)
-Gumshoe
Before she died, the victim
wrote the killer's name!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Detective Gumshoe!
-Phoenix
Do you get a lot of cases
where the victim actually
writes the killer's name?
-Gumshoe
Sure! It happens all the
time in books and the movies!
-Phoenix
This isn't a movie, Detective.
-Gumshoe
Oof!
-Phoenix
Let's talk about
reality, shall we?
-Gumshoe
Umm... I guess, I haven't
heard of many cases... no.
-Phoenix
Don't you find it a little
odd that the victim would
write down a name?
-Phoenix
Especially the name
of her own sister?
-Gumshoe
Ah, yeah, actually,
you got a point, pal.
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Stop right there.
-Edgeworth
The witness's opinion
on the matter is irrelevant!
-Edgeworth
The facts are clear: the
victim wrote down the
name of the accused...
-Edgeworth
The victim told us
the name of her killer!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Phoenix
(That didn't go so well...)
-Gumshoe
Th-that's right!
What he said!
-Phoenix
(That's his whole
testimony...)
-Phoenix
(Okay, there has to be
a contradiction in there
somewhere. Let's find it!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Detective Gumshoe!
-Phoenix
There's one thing I
want you to clarify
for me here.
-Phoenix
You say that the victim,
Mia Fey, wrote this note.
-Phoenix
That she was accusing
the defendant, Maya Fey?
-Phoenix
That's really what
you're saying?
-Gumshoe
Wh-what? This isn't one
of those lawyer tricks,
now, is it?
-Gumshoe
Of course she wrote it!
Who else could have!?
-Phoenix
You have it backwards,
Detective.
-Gumshoe
B-backwards?
-Phoenix
The victim is the only
person who absolutely
could NOT have written t!
-Phoenix
This is a report from
your department, Detective.
-Phoenix
"Immediate death due to a blow
from a blunt object."
-Phoenix
She died immediately!
-Gumshoe
But...!
-Phoenix
No "but"-ing your way
out of this one, Detective!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Judge
The defense has a point.
-Judge
Someone who died immediately
wouldn't have the time to
write anything down.
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright.
-Edgeworth
I beg your pardon, but when
exactly did you obtain that
autopsy report?
-Phoenix
Wh-when...!?
***The day of the murder********************
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I'm pretty sure it
* was the day of the murder.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You're wrong there, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* We didn't write an autopsy
* report 'til the day after!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh. Right.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***The day after the murder*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* It was the day

***I forget*********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm... sorry, I forgot.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah!
* Forgot, you say?
*
* -Gumshoe
* It was the day after the
* murder, Your Honor Sir.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I was the one who handed
* it to him myself! Personally!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh. R-right.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Judge
The prosecution's point
being...?
-Edgeworth
That autopsy report
is outdated, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
Wh-what!?
-Edgeworth
A second autopsy was
performed yesterday,
at my request!
-Edgeworth
"Death was almost immediate
due to a blow from a
blunt object..."
-Edgeworth
"But there is a possibility
the victim lived for several
minutes after the blow."
-Edgeworth
I received these results
this morning.
-Phoenix
N-no way!
-Edgeworth
Your Honor!
-Edgeworth
It's quite easy to imagine
that the victim did have
time to write "Maya"!
-Edgeworth
That is all.
-Judge
I see!
-Phoenix
(Damn you, Edgeworth!)
-Phoenix
(I should have known
you'd have something
up your sleeve!)
-Edgeworth
Why, Mr. Wright,
you look shocked!
-Edgeworth
Something you want to say?
***You're a sham, Edgeworth!****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Edgeworth...
*
* -Phoenix
* I've heard there's nothing
* you won't do to get
* your verdict...
*
* -Phoenix
* What reason could you possibly
* have had to request a second
* autopsy report?
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! The defense will
* refrain from personal attacks
* on the prosecution!
*
* -Edgeworth
* No matter, Your Honor...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mr. Wright.

Your Honor, I submit this

-Judge
U-understood. The court
accepts the evidence.
Autopsy Report updated

-Edgeworth
Well, Your Honor?
-Edgeworth
The evidence strongly suggests
the victim was identifying
the killer.
-Judge
I suppose that's the
obvious conclusion, yes.
-Phoenix
(Darn! This isn't good!)
-Edgeworth
The prosecution would like
to call its next witness.

This poor, innocent girl saw

-April
Aww...
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
(This is not good...)
-Phoenix
(She's already captured
the heart of every man
in the court!)
-Edgeworth
Tell us, where were you on
the night of September 5,
when the murder occurred?
-April
Um... gee... I was, like,
in my hotel room? Tee hee.
-April
I checked in right
after lunch.
-Edgeworth
And this hotel is directly
across from the Fey & Co.
Law Offices?
-April
Mmm... that's right, big boy.
-Judge
Please testify to the court
about what you saw.

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
It was, like, 9:00
at night. I looked out
the window, y'know!
(2)
-April
And then, oooh! I saw a woman
with long hair being attacked!
(3)
-April
The one attacking her was
the mousey girl sitting
in the defendant's chair!
(4)
-April
Then the woman, like,
dodged to one side and
ran away!
(5)
-April
But that girl, she caught
up to her and... and...
She hit her!
-April
Then the woman
with long hair...
-April
She kinda... slumped.
-April
The end. That's all I saw.
Every little bitsy witsy!
*wink*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Edgeworth
Well, Your Honor?
-Judge
I see. It is a remarkably
solid testimony.
-Judge
I don't see a need to
trouble the witness any...
-Phoenix
W-wait, Your Honor!
-Judge
Yes, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
What about my cross-
examination!?
-Judge
I thought the witness's
testimony just now was
quite... firm. Didn't you?
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright... I understand
you were Ms. Mia Fey's
understudy, were you not?
-Edgeworth
You must know her
techniques well.
-Edgeworth
Her cowardly way of finding
tiny faults in perfectly
good testimonies...
-Phoenix
H-hey! How dare you!
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
Will you cross-examine
the witness?
***Yes, I'm doing it************************

* -Phoenix
* I'll gladly proceed with
* the cross-examination.

***No thanks********************************

*
* -Judge
* Very well.
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait! Hold on!
*
* -Judge
* Yes, Mr. Wright?
* Changed your mind? Will you

* -Phoenix
* Yes yes yes!

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
It was, like, 9:00
at night. I looked out
the window, y'know!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why did you do that?
-April
Huh? "Why"?
Like, why what?
-Phoenix
Why did you look out the
window? Were you expecting
to see something?
-April
Oh, well, um... gee!
-Phoenix
(What? That's it? She can't
get out of this question
that easily!)
-April
I sort of, y'know.
-April
I had a feeling!
-Phoenix
(Well, I have a feeling
she's trying to avoid
the question!)
-Phoenix
(Maybe I should press a
little harder on this one?)
***Go for it********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Let's see how far I can
* run with this...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Surely, you must have had
* a reason to look out your

*
* -April
* I... oooh!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mr. Wright! I will not have
* you badgering my witness!
*
* -Phoenix
* B-badgering?
*
* -Edgeworth
* You insist on needling her
* with these trivial questions.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I really don't think it
* should be allowed.
*
* (Yeah! Yeah! Stop him!)
*
* (The poor girl!)
*

-Edgeworth
You looked out the window.
What did you see next?
(2)
-April
And then, oooh! I saw a woman
with long hair being attacked!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
The woman with long hair...
that was Mia Fey?
-April
Um-hmm! Slender, sort of,
well, some people might say
pretty, if that's your thing.
-Phoenix
(Your... thing?)
-Edgeworth
And the person attacking her?
(3)
-April
The one attacking her was
the mousey girl sitting
in the defendant's chair!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How do you know she
was the defendant?
-April
Huh? Well... y'know!
-April
S-she had a girlish physique.
Women know these things.
-April
Look... I-I just know, okay?
-Edgeworth
There was only one person at
the scene of the crime with
a short, girlish figure.
-Edgeworth
The testimony is bulletproof,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
(He's right...)
***Yep, he's right**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Her testimony certainly

* -Phoenix

Then the woman, like,

She "dodged"? Dodged what!?
-April
Well... the attack!
-Edgeworth
Please, continue your
testimony.
(5)
-April
But that girl, she caught
up to her and... and...
She hit her!
-Phoenix
How did you know it
was my client!?
-April
Huh? Well, I... gee!
-April
First of all, she had
a girl's physique!
-April
And, and secondly,
she was... she was small!
-April
Who else could it
be but her!

(She has a point...)

-April
Urp!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What's the meaning of this?
-April
Yes, what is the meaning!
Somebody tell me because I'm
clueless! About this, I mean!
-Phoenix
Okay...
-Phoenix
If you had really witnessed
my client, Maya Fey...
-Phoenix
You would have noticed her
clothes before noticing her
physique!
-April
...!
-Phoenix
No one wears clothes
like this on a daily
basis! Except her!
-Phoenix
And I'm no expert on fashion,
but her hairdo looks far from
normal to me!
-Phoenix
However, the witness's
testimony mentions neither
of these things!
-Phoenix
The testimony is bogus!
-April
But... but!
-Judge
Still, we don't know if
she was dressed that way
the night of the murder...
-Phoenix
She was, Your Honor!
-Phoenix
I saw her.
-Phoenix
And so did Detective Gumshoe!
-Phoenix
What do you say to that,
Miss May?
-April
Rowr!
What are you trying to say,
you mean lawyer!
-April
I-I saw what I saw.
-April
I... just didn't think all
the trifling little details
were necessary, darling.
-Judge
Miss May.
-Judge
The court would like to remind
you to please omit nothing
in your testimony.
-April
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I'll be a good girl.
I promise. *wink*
-Judge
Your testimony again,
if you would.

(Damn, I almost had her!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
I did see everything!
I did!
(2)
-April
The victim--the woman--dodged
the first attack and ran off
to the right.
(3)
-April
Then the girl in the hippie
clothes ran after her...
(4)
-April
And she hit her with that
weapon! I saw it! I did!
(5)
-April
That... that clock! Um...
the kinda statue-y clock?
"The Thinker," I think?
-April
Well? Does the accuracy of
my report not startle you?
Tee hee!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
I... see.
-Judge
I only wish you had been se
detailed from the beginning.
-Judge
Please begin the
cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
I did see everything!
I did!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So, you saw me then, too?
-April
Of course!
-April
I'd remember that
spiky hair anywhere!
-Phoenix
(Spiky...?)
-Judge
The witness will refrain
from personal attacks on
the defense attorney.
-April
Aww, was I a bad girl?
I'm sowwy.
-Judge
Very well... continue.
(2)
-April
The victim--the woman--dodged
the first attack and ran off
to the right.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Is that "right" as in your
right, as you looked from
the hotel?
-April
Um... which hand do I
hold my knife in again...?
-April
Right! It was my right
hand! Right?
-Edgeworth
Satisfied, Mr. Wright?
Please continue.
(3)
-April
Then the girl in the hippie
clothes ran after her...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How convenient for you
to remember her "hippie"
clothes!
-April
That's what you--I mean,
that's what she was wearing!
-April
Oh, and her hair was all
done up like a bun!
-Phoenix
(*sigh*...)
-Judge
What happened then?
(4)
-April
And she hit her with that
weapon! I saw it! I did!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Where did this weapon
come from?
-April
She picked it up from the desk!
-Judge
I see. What sort
of weapon was it?
(5)
-April
That... that clock! Um...
the kinda statue-y clock?
"The Thinker," I think?
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A... clock?
-Phoenix
(Didn't this come up
in another testimony
recently...?)
-April
W-well? Don't look so sour,
Mr. Lawyer. You can't win
them all.
-Phoenix
(No... but I have a feeling
I'm on to something now!)
-Phoenix
Her previous testimony must
have been what Edgeworth
wanted her to say...)
-Phoenix
(So this was the testimony
in her own words...?)
-Phoenix
(Time to press and squeeze
the truth out of her!
Figuratively, of course.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Miss May.
-Phoenix
What you said just now
was quite... revealing.
-April
Revealing? Oooh, you'd
like that, wouldn't you.
Naughty Mr. Lawyer...
-Phoenix
You just said that this
statue of "The Thinker"
was a clock.
-Phoenix
But there's no way of
knowing that just by
looking at it!
-April
Urp!
-Phoenix
Another person in much the
same position as you recently
called this a "clock," too...
-Phoenix
And he was found
guilty... of murder!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Phoenix
Miss May. Can you explain
how you know this was a clock?
-April
Oooh... urp!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The witness saw the murder
with her own eyes! That's
all that's important here!
-Edgeworth
The defense is trying to
confuse the issue with
trivial concerns!
-Judge
Yes... yes, of course.
You will withdraw your
question, Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
But questions are all
I have, Your Honor!
-Phoenix
And as you may recall,
I've caught murderers with
these questions before!
-Phoenix
(Well, only once...)
-Judge
...
-Judge
...
-Judge
Objection sustained.
You may continue to question
the witness.
-Phoenix
(Whew, that was close.)
-Phoenix
(If he stopped me there,
the trial would be over!)
-April
Huh? What?
So... what happens now?
-Phoenix
What happens now is you
answer my question! How
did you know it was a clock?
-April
What...! Th-that's...
-April
...Because... I heard it?
-April
Yes! I heard
it say the time!
-Phoenix
So, you've been to the
law offices of Fey & Co.!
-April
N-n-no! Hey, I didn't say
that! Why would I go there!
-April
I heard from my hotel room.
Hee hee!
-Edgeworth
The law offices of Fey & Co.,
where the murder took place,
are very close to the hotel.
-Edgeworth
She could easily have
heard the clock!
-Judge
Hmm. Well, Mr. Wright?
Are you satisfied?
-Phoenix
No, Your Honor!
-Phoenix
(I can't give up now!)
-Phoenix
I'm not satisfied because...
***She couldn't have heard it***************
*
* -Phoenix
* You were at the hotel!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's no way you could have
* heard a clock go off in the
* building next door!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* You have proof that
* she could not?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Amateurs, amateurs.
* Listen to me, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In the courtroom, proof is
* everything. Without it, you
* have nothing. You ARE nothing.
*
* -Phoenix
* Then I would like to propose
* a test to see if she really
* could have heard...
*
* -Edgeworth
* The prosecution denies
* your request!
*
* -Phoenix
* Wh-what!? On what grounds?
*
* -Edgeworth
* This is a trivial matter
* with no direct bearing
* on the case at hand!
*
* -Judge
* Indeed.
* Objection sustained.

This clock is missing

It's quite empty!

Mr. Wright!
-Judge
Would you care to explain

of this?
-Phoenix
It is as you can see.
-Phoenix
The "clock" was empty.
It couldn't have rung!
-Phoenix
Therefore, this
witness...
-Phoenix
is a big, fat liar!
-April
F-fat!?
-Phoenix
Well, Miss May?
-Edgeworth
Tsk tsk.
-Phoenix
?
-Edgeworth
Quite a show you've
put on for us, Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
(He knew the clock was empty!
Somehow... he knew!)
-Edgeworth
I'm afraid you've forgotten
one thing, however.
-Edgeworth
Indeed, the clock is empty.
As you say... it can't ring.
-Edgeworth
However, we must ask: when
was the clockwork removed?
-Edgeworth
If it was after the witness
heard the clock, then there
is no contradiction!
-Judge
!
-Judge
Hmm! That's true. That
is a possibility.
-Judge
The clock might have been
emptied after she heard it.
-Edgeworth
And that is exactly what
happened, Your Honor!
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
-Judge
Can you prove when
the clockwork was removed?
-Edgeworth
Ho hoh!
Impossible, of course...
-Phoenix
I have proof.
-Edgeworth
W-what!?
-Phoenix
Wasn't it you who told
me "proof is everything"?
-Phoenix
Well, I was listening.
-Phoenix
And now I'll show you the
"proof" you like so much!

The evidence that proves
when the clockwork was
removed is...

Hmm. That's a very
cute cell phone.
-April
Oooh hoo!
You have a girlie phone!
-Phoenix
W-wait! Wait! This
isn't my phone!
-Phoenix
Listen!
-Phoenix
This is the defendant's
cell phone, and it contains
a recording...
-Phoenix
A recording of a conversation
she had with the victim on
the day of the murder!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Edgeworth
The defendant's cell phone!?
Th-this wasn't brought
to my attention!

Perhaps Detective Gumshoe
overlooked it?

*grumble* (The good detective
better remember he's up for
evaluation soon...)

(My heart goes out
to you, Edgeworth. Not.)

[So you just want me to
hold on to "The Thinker"
for you, then?]
-Mia
[If you could.]
-Mia
[Ah... I should probably tell
you, the clock isn't talking
right now.]

[Huh? It's not working?
That's lame!]
-Mia
[I had to take the
clockwork out, sorry.]
...
[September 5, 9:27 AM]

-Phoenix
Your Honor,
-Phoenix
I think this recording
makes it clear that the
clockwork was already gone...
-Phoenix
and this was recorded in the
morning, before the witness
even arrived at her hotel!
-April
Muh... muh... muh!?

Well, Miss May?
Would you care to explain

Just how did you know
that weapon was a clock!?

Only two exist in the world.

Tell me, how did you know

Hmm... oh dear.

Does the defense have an

Yes, Your Honor.

* Miss May held that very
* clock in her hands!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* When was this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* When she used it to strike
* the victim! When else?
*
* -Judge
* Order! Order!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! What is
* the meaning of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* April May, you killed
* Mia Fey, I say!
*
* -Phoenix
* And when you struck, the
* force of the impact
* made "The Thinker" ring!
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when you heard it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk tsk.
*
* -Edgeworth
* You truly are a work
* of art, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what's that supposed
* to mean!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was you who just proved
* that "The Thinker" was
* empty!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh...
* (Urk! Of course it
* wouldn't ring!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* What's more, the witness
* has a rock-solid alibi.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Miss May?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Perhaps you could explain
* to the poor, misguided
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Edgeworth
* You were in the hotel
* at the time of the murder.
*
* -Phoenix
* (S-she can't prove it!
* She did it!)
*
* -April
* It would be MY pleasure!
*
* -Phoenix
* N-no way!
*
* -April
* Yes way, Mr. Lawyer.
*
* -April
* Tee hee? Didn't the murder
* take place at 9:00 at night?
*
* -April
* Gee, that's the exact time
* I ordered some room service
* from the hotel bellboy!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Incidentally, the bellboy
* corroborates the witness's
* story.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ergo, she was not at the
* crime scene! Rock solid!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! You've just made
* a serious accusation to a
* perfectly innocent woman!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
* (That... didn't go so well.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But, if that's the case...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Then how did she know
* "The Thinker" was a clock!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait!)
*
* -Phoenix
* Your Honor, I figured it out!
*
* -Phoenix
* There is one other way
* Miss April May could have
* known it was a clock!
*
* -Phoenix
* One way alone!
* And I have proof!
*
* -Judge
* Well...
* proof, you say?
*
* -Judge
* Then, the court will
* examine your proof,
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* How did the witness know
* "The Thinker" was a clock?
*
* CONTINUE

********************************************
***You had heard about it*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* The witness had never
* held the clock in her hand!
*
* -Phoenix
* However, she had heard
* that it was a clock!
*
* -Judge
* She "heard"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* That is correct, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* There is no other way
* she could have known
* "The Thinker" was a clock!
*
* -Phoenix
* And I can show you the proof!
*
* -Judge
* Well, this is interesting.
*
* -Judge
* Let's see it, then.
*
* -Judge
* Show me evidence proving

* the murder weapon was a clock.

*
* -Phoenix
* Um... "where"? Well,

*
* -Edgeworth
* Come to the end of your

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Have a look at this.
-April
Ah! Oooh!
Th-that!? Eh heh...
-Phoenix
I found this in
Miss May's room.
-Judge
Mr. Wright! Please explain
to the court what this is!
-Phoenix
Miss April May?
-Phoenix
You were tapping the victim,
Ms. Mia Fey's phone, were
you not?
-April
Oooh. Oooooh!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Your Honor,
This is irrelevant!
-Judge
I'm not entirely sure that
it is. Objection overruled.
-Judge
It troubles me that our
witness was in possession
of a wiretap.
-Edgeworth
This is outrageous! Does the
defense truly claim that the
witness was tapping her phone?
-Phoenix
Absolutely!
-Edgeworth
Even if that was the case,
(which it's not) you still
have to prove one thing!
-Edgeworth
Did the victim ever say that
the weapon was a clock on
the phone?
-Edgeworth
Can you prove that?
I THINK NOT!
-Phoenix
Oh yeah? I THINK I CAN!
It's simple!
-Edgeworth
WHAAAAT!?
-Phoenix
Here's my proof.
-Phoenix
The proof that the victim
said, on the phone, that the
weapon was a clock is...
***Present something wrong******************

*
* -Phoenix
* This!

*
* -Judge
* I think...
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait! That was
* just a warm up!
*
* -Judge
* Hmm! Okay, once again.
* And I expect real proof
* this time!
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
I present the defendant's
cell phone.
-Judge
Yes, we've seen that.
-Phoenix
Listen once more to the
conversation between the
defendant and the victim.
-Cellular
*beep*
...
-Maya
[Mia! What's up? You haven't
called in a while.]
-Mia
[Well, actually there's
something I want you to
hold on to for me.]
-Maya
[Again?
What's it this time?]
-Mia
[It's... a clock.]
-Mia
[It's made to look like
that statue, "The Thinker."
And it tells you the time!]
...
-Phoenix
Miss April May!
-Phoenix
You used a wiretap to
listen to this conversation!
-Phoenix
That's how you knew
"The Thinker" was a clock!
-Phoenix
Am I wrong!?
-April
I... I...
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Your Honor, this
is ridiculous!
-Phoenix
Your Honor, look at the
witness's face? Does
she seem amused to you!?
-Phoenix
The defense demands
an answer.
-April
La... laaa... lrrrrgf!
-Judge
Witness, answer the question.
Did you tap her phone?
-April
...
-Judge
Miss May!
-April
Shut up, all of you!
What gives you the right
to talk to ME like that!
-April
You... you LAWYER!
......
-April
I-it's no fair!
All of you g-ganging
up on me like that...
-April
Oh, so I'm the bad girl,
is that it? Is that it!?
-April
Uh... uh... uwaaaaaaah!
-Phoenix
(That did it! The court's seen
the real Miss April May now!)
-Phoenix
(Now to deal the final blow!)
***You did it, didn't you*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May!
*
* -April
* What is it you little shrimp!
* Talk to me in that tone of
* voice will you!?
*
* -Phoenix
* You killed her, didn't you!
*
* -Judge
* Order!
* There will be order!
*
* -April
* What? How can you possibly
* say that!? Are you mad?
*
* -April
* A-all I did was
* a little wiretap...
*
* -April
* Oops!
*
* -Phoenix
* So you admit you
* tapped her phone!
*
* -April
* Heh... heh... hrrah!

* -April
* B-but wait!
*
* -April
* I didn't do ANYTHING bad

*
* -Phoenix
* (No way can she prove it!)

*

* But I can prove it!
* And I will!

********************************************
***Why the wiretap?*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Why did you tap her phone?
*
* -April

*
* -Phoenix
* Answer the question!
*
* -April
* Do I have to?
*
* -April
* Isn't this a murder trial?
* Isn't tippity-tapping er...
* irrelevant?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Gah! She's saying exactly
* what Edgeworth wants her
* to say.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May.
*
* -Phoenix
* You were tapping the
* victim's phone!
*
* -Phoenix
* I hardly call that
* "irrelevant"!
*
* -Judge
* While this court does not
* condone the defense's tone
* of speech, he has a point.
*
* -Judge
* Well, Miss May?
* Do you have an explanation
* for the court?
*
* -Judge
* Can you prove you had nothing
* to do with this murder, even
* though you tapped her phone?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hah! I'd like to see her

*
* -April
* Mr. Lawyer, I saw that

********************************************
-Phoenix
You can't be serious!
No way!
-April
Way, I say! Way!
Oh, and I assure you
I'm serious, Mr. Lawyer!
-April
Hmph!
-April
Okay? So, the killing happened
around 9:00 at night?
-April
Why, that's just when I was
getting room service from
that sweet bellboy...
-Phoenix
R-room service!?
-April
Ice coffee, I believe it was?
-April
Ice coffee? You know?
Like normal coffee, but COLD.
-April
If you don't drink it quick,
the ice melts and then you
have... regular cold coffee.
-Phoenix
I-ice coffee...!?
-April
Think I'm making this up?
Ask the bellboy! *wink*
-Edgeworth
Ergo, the witness was not
on the scene at the time
of the murder!
-Phoenix
!
-Judge
So, where does
that leave us...?
-Edgeworth
It is my great displeasure
to inform you...
-Edgeworth
That the witness appears to
have been tapping the victim's
telephone.
-Edgeworth
However! That is a separate
crime, with no bearing on
the current case whatsoever!
-Edgeworth
Her testimony stands! She saw
the defendant, Maya Fey,
commit murder!
-Phoenix
(No! They're going to
let her just walk away!)
-Phoenix
(There's no way I can win
this unless I tie Miss May
to the murder somehow...)
-Judge
Well, does the defense
have anything to say?
-Phoenix
Um, well...
(Come on, think of something!)
***Call the bellboy as a witness************
*
* -Phoenix
* The defense would like to
* call the hotel bellboy as
* a witness!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's something suspicious
* there, and I'm going to get
* to the bottom of it!
*
* -April
* I think you've sunken
* quite low enough already.
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* I object to calling
* the bellboy!
*
* -Phoenix
* W-why?
* What's your reason?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Because I hold that the
* wiretapping had nothing to
* do with the killing!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Edgeworth
* However...
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you agree to one condition,
* I'll consent to calling this
* witness.
*
* -Phoenix
* Condition...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* If Miss April May's alibi is
* not called into question after
* you examine the bellboy...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Then you will recognize that
* Miss April May was not the
* killer, thus she is innocent!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Therefore you must accept
* the verdict of "guilty"
* for Ms. Maya Fey!
*
* -Edgeworth
* That is my condition.
*
* -Phoenix
* (What...!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better find something
* suspicious in that bellboy's
* testimony...)
*
* -Phoenix

* *
* * -Judge
* * I see. You may continue your

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Right. On with the

********************************************
***Continue examining Miss May**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. On with the
* cross-examination.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What exactly do you
* have left to examine,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Miss April May has admitted
* to the wiretap, yes.
*
* -Edgeworth
* But that bears no relevance
* to the case at hand: murder!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There's no way you can
* prove any connection!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Uh oh! Think! This can't
* be the end... but I'm out
* of evidence!)
*
* -Judge
* Then I believe the cross-
* examination is over.
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Edgeworth,
* does the prosecution have
* any other witnesses to call?
*
* -Edgeworth
* None, Your Honor.
* She's the last.
*
* -Phoenix
* (What!? B-but that means...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maya's guilty...!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait! Your Honor!
*
* -Judge
* Yes, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* The defense would like to
* call the bellboy after all!
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk tsk tsk...
*
* -Edgeworth
* As I thought!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* May I remind you, dear
* Mr. Wright. Should you
* question the bellboy...
*
* -Edgeworth
* and Miss April May's
* alibi prove to be solid...
*
* -Edgeworth
* then, by default, your client
* Ms. Maya Fey will be

*
* -Edgeworth
* Are you prepared to

*
* -Phoenix
* (Edgeworth...)
*
* -Phoenix

Very well!

The court calls the hotel
bellboy to the stand!

-Edgeworth
I believe we're ready
for the witness to testify.
-Edgeworth
He certainly does look
like a bellboy.
-Bellboy
Yes, sir.
-Bellboy
I received your summons in
the middle of work, sir.
I'm happy to be of service.
-Judge
That tea set looks rather
heavy, so without further ado,
-Judge
the witness may begin

Very good, sir!

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Miss May's Room Service --
(1)
-Bellboy
I am the head bellboy at the
fine Gatewater Hotel, in
business for four generations!
(2)
-Bellboy
I believe I received a call
after 8:00 in the evening
from our guest, Miss May.
(3)
-Bellboy
She asked for an ice coffee
to be brought to her at
9:00, on the dot, sir.
(4)
-Bellboy
I brought it to her at
precisely the requested
time, of course.
(5)
-Bellboy
And I delivered the ice
coffee to our guest Miss
May, herself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
I see.
The defense may begin
its cross-examination.
-Phoenix
R-right!
I'm ready. (I hope...)

was involved with the
murder now...)

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Miss May's Room Service --
(1)
-Bellboy
I am the head bellboy at the
fine Gatewater Hotel, in
business for four generations!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What exactly is it you
do at the hotel?
-Bellboy
Why, anything required
of me, sir.
-Bellboy
I check in guests,
I check out guests.
-Bellboy
I clean rooms,
I make beds.
-Bellboy
I even deliver room
service, sir.
-Bellboy
I checked Miss May in
personally.
-Phoenix
Are you always
so... so prim?
-Judge
Mr. Wright.
-Judge
You will refrain from asking
frivolous questions...
(2)
-Bellboy
I believe I received a call
after 8:00 in the evening
from our guest, Miss May.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure it was
Miss May on the phone?
-Bellboy
Absolutely, sir.
-Phoenix
H-how can you be so certain!?
-Bellboy
I checked Miss May in
personally, sir.
-Bellboy
Not only did I see her in
all her stunning radiance,
but I also heard her voice.
-Bellboy
And then I saw THEM,
and I...
-Bellboy
Ahem. Er... ahem!
-Bellboy
The point being, I remembered
her quite well, sir.
-Judge
Yes, what then?
(3)
-Bellboy
She asked for an ice coffee
to be brought to her at
9:00, on the dot, sir.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
9:00 "on the dot,"
you say?
-Bellboy
Yes. I confirmed that
detail several times.
-Bellboy
She was watching a program
on the TV, and wished to
drink after she finished, sir.
-Phoenix
(9:00... the time
of the murder!)
(4)
-Bellboy
I brought it to her at
precisely the requested
time, of course.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Precisely" 9:00, then?
-Bellboy
Precisely, exactly, and
most definitely, sir,
9:00 PM.
-Phoenix
How can you be so sure!?
-Bellboy
Miss May was quite
insistent that it
be brought then.
-Bellboy
"Oh, bellboy? Tee hee!
I'd like, like, ice coffee
at exactly 9:00!"
-Bellboy
Something like that, sir.
-Bellboy
Therefore, I knocked on
her door at the crack
of 9:00, sir.
-Phoenix
(Why would she be so
particular about the time?)
(5)
-Bellboy
And I delivered the ice
coffee to our guest Miss
May, herself.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You are sure it was
Miss April May herself?
-Bellboy
Ab-SO-lutely, sir.
-Phoenix
"Ab-SO-lutely"...?
-Bellboy
Yes, sir. As n, "so very
absolutely," sir. It's an
endearing mannerism of mine.
-Phoenix
How come you're
so very certain!?
-Bellboy
Well, when I brought
the room service, sir...
-Bellboy
S-she... the guest, sir,
favored me w-with a, um,
an "embrasser," sir.
-Phoenix
"Embrasser"!? Is that
French for "embrace"?
-Bellboy
It's French for "kiss," sir.
But not a french kiss, sir!
More of a peck on the cheek.
-Phoenix
Wh-why would she
have done that...?
-Bellboy
I believe, perhaps, she
was momentarily swayed by
my prim demeanor, sir.
-Bellboy
It was a moment I shall
never, ever forget, sir.
-Phoenix
(Sounds pretty fishy to me...)
-Phoenix
(I think our Miss May was up
to something and wanted the
bellboy to remember her!)
-Phoenix
(This bellboy wouldn't
have any reason to lie...)
-Phoenix
(But I have to find
something to use in
his testimony!)
-Phoenix
(One more time. I'll press him
until he spills the beans...
or his tea!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER PRESSING EVERY DETAIL
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
It's no good!
(There's nothing there!)
-Phoenix
(Is... is that it!?)
-Edgeworth
Tsk tsk.
-Edgeworth
Finally, you understand.
-Edgeworth
This bellboy has absolutely
no reason to lie!
-Edgeworth
Now...
-Edgeworth
If you have any decency, you
will end this rather tedious
cross-examination here!
-Judge
Hmm. It was a bit tedious.
-Judge
The witness may leave
the stand.
-Phoenix
(I can't let this
happen... can I?)

* Bed... bed making!
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me about making

*
* -Edgeworth
* I was wondering what you

* bed making? A new low!
*
* -Judge
* Now, now, Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* -Judge
* The witness will answer
* the defense's question.
*
* -Bellboy
* Yes, well, it was quite like
* any other day's bed making.
*
* -Bellboy
* I changed the sheets, the
* pillowcases, and then I
* proceeded to make the bed.
*
* -Bellboy
* I had to bring pillows for
* two, of course, but they're
* quite light, you see.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see.
* Thank you.
*
* -Phoenix

* Bellboy! What did you

* Eh!? Ah, yes, pillows

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
I object! That was...
objectionable!
-Judge
...
-Judge
Objection overruled.
The witness will answer
the question.
-Bellboy
Er... yes, I see.
-Phoenix
Why did you not mention
this in your testimony!?
-Bellboy
W-well, sir, you er...
you didn't ask!
-Phoenix
(Nice try!)
-Phoenix
That's the sort of thing
you're normally supposed
to mention!
-Bellboy
Ah, yes, quite.
Indeed...
-Bellboy
It was the, er, good
barrister there,
Mr. Edgeworth, who...
-Phoenix
!
-Bellboy
He asked me not to mention
it if I wasn't specifically
asked, sir.
-Edgeworth
Oof!
-Edgeworth
Y-you fool!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
I've done it... I've won!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
Miss April May checked into
a twin room... with a man.
-Phoenix
Correct?
-Bellboy
Yes, sir.
-Phoenix
Then, when you brought
them room service,
-Phoenix
you didn't see that
man in the room...?
-Bellboy
That's right, sir.
-Judge
Hmm...
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
We have just learned of
another person involved who
may have been the murderer!
-Phoenix
In this new light, I hold
that it's impossible to judge
the defendant.
-Phoenix
You agree, Mr. Edgeworth?
-Edgeworth
Who! Who is this
"other person"!
-Phoenix
Simple, it was...
***Miss April May***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* None other than
* Miss April May!

* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Eh!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Have you heard nothing that
* has transpired so far!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* She has an alibi! She was
* in the hotel at the time

*

* Well, this comes as

*
* -Edgeworth
* Your Honor, Mr. Wright...
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was the bellboy who

* I do put it that way,

********************************************
-Phoenix
The man who checked in
with Miss May!
-Edgeworth
Oof!
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
As has been previously
revealed, Miss April May was
tapping the victim's phone.
-Phoenix
Yet Miss May herself has
an alibi at the time of
the murder.
-Phoenix
However, that does not
clear the man that was
with her!
-Phoenix
The bellboy saw no one
else in the room at the
time of the murder!!!
-Edgeworth
M-my, what a convenient
little setup... but it's
too late...
-Phoenix
"Too late"?
-Phoenix
I suppose you'd like it
if it was too late,
wouldn't you...
-Phoenix
After all, it was you who
hid the presence of the
other man from this court!
-Edgeworth
Oof!
-Edgeworth
Upstart... amateur...!
-Edgeworth
T-these accusations are...
ludicrous!
-Judge
Enough!
-Judge
The court acknowledges the
defense's argument.
-Judge
I expect the prosecution
and defense to look into
this matter fully!
-Judge
Am I understood?
-Edgeworth
Yes... *gasp*
Yes, Your Honor.
-Judge
That is all today for the
trial of Maya Fey.
-Judge
Court is adjourned!

-Maya
Mr. Wright!
-Maya
You were amazing in there!
-Phoenix
R-really?
-Maya
I think I might be
your newest fan!
-Phoenix
Oh, I was just "doing
my job" you know... heh heh.
-Maya
Then again, that other
attorney was pretty
cool, too...
-Phoenix
Huh?
-Maya
That face of his! With his
eyes wide, and trembling lips!
-Maya
It sent shivers
up my spine!
-Phoenix
Hmm... if you say so.
-Maya
So, what happens with me?
-Maya
Do I get to go home now?
-Phoenix
Well, no.
-Phoenix
I don't think so.
Not yet.
-Maya
Oh... I see.
-Phoenix
But I got a great lead
in today's trial!
-Maya
A "lead"?
-Phoenix
That man with Miss May!
He's the key!
-Maya
Oh! I get it.
-Maya
What happened to Miss May
after that, anyway?
-Phoenix
I heard they arrested her.
I guess she's learning her
charms won't work everywhere.
-Phoenix
She's probably at the
detention center now. I may
have to go down there later.
-Phoenix
Anyway.
-Phoenix
This case is far from closed.
-Maya
Yes sir!
-Phoenix
I'm going to find out
more about this man.
-Maya
Do you think he was
the one who...?
-Phoenix
Maybe so.
-Maya
Sis...
-Phoenix
Don't worry, I'll find
him by tomorrow. I promise.
-Maya
I'm counting on you!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
I asked for a full record of
April May's testimony.
-Phoenix
I thought it might come in
handy during the trial
tomorrow.
-Phoenix
But now that I have it,
I'm not so sure.
-Phoenix
Most of her testimony
was all lies...
-Phoenix
In fact, there's only
one part that got left
on the record.
May Testimony added
to the Court Record.
-Phoenix
I don't know how much
good this will do me
at all, now.
-Phoenix
Anyway, time to hit
the pavement and do
some investigating!
-Phoenix
Maya doesn't belong in that
detention center, and it's
up to me to get her free!

Yes, laugh at the fallen

No, not really, there's

Oh, um, thanks.

Sorry for putting you

No, no, not at all, sir!
-Bellboy
Your efforts today can only

-Phoenix
Huh? "Rep"?
-Bellboy
Yes! Our reputation will
swell as the hotel where the
murderer used a wiretap!
-Bellboy
We can charge a premium for
the room, of course. It will
be great for business, sir!

Whoa, whoa! Miss May hasn't
been charged with murder.
-Bellboy
I, too, will become famous!

*
* -April
* No! No, that's not right.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Nice try, Miss Cooperative.)
*
* -April
* D-do you have proof
* that was him? Hmm?
*
* -April
* Y-yeah! Proof! Show me proof!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'm so close!)

***Present Bellboy's Affidavit**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you have
* a look at this?
*
* -April
* What's that?
*
* -Phoenix
* The bellboy's affidavit!
* He told us everything he saw.
*
* -Phoenix
* He told us about the man
* you checked in with.
*
* -Phoenix
* He told us who he was.
*
* -April
* ...!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Now I'm getting somewhere!)
*
* ***Ease her fears***************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Okay, okay... she's vulnerable
* * now. I should be gentle.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Miss May...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * It would be easy for me to
* * hand this affidavit to the
* * police.
* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * If they get involved, wouldn't
* * your boss be even more...
* * er... inconvenienced?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * All I want to do is have
* * a little chat with him.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * You won't tell me?
* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -April
* * Is that all you have to say?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Yes.
* *
* * -April
* * It it's so easy for you to
* * "get the police involved,"
* * then why don't you?
* *
* * -April
* * Somehow I think you're
* * not up to it, hmm?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Show them a little kindness
* * and they jump all over you!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (That had the opposite
* * effect to what I hoped...)
* *
* * -April
* * Aww. *smirk*
* * Poor little lawyer...
* *
* * -April
* * And you were so close!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (This isn't working...)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I think I've worn out this

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Dammit!
* *
* * Discarded the
* * Bellboy's Affidavit.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (The man in this photo

* * know him!)
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***Push her hard****************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (This is it, all or nothing!
* * Time to do a little bluff.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * No use playing dumb!
* * (If, indeed, that's an act.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * If you don't talk, I'm taking
* * this photo to the press!
* *
* * -April
* * Whaaaaat!?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Even though he should be a
* * witness to murder, this man
* * is in hiding.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I'm sure the press would
* * have a field day with his

* *
* * -April
* * ...!
* *
* * -April
* * Ooooh!
* * Fine! I'll talk!
* *
* * -April
* * You... you win, Lawyer.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Yes!
* * Man, that felt good!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (It's great to be alive!)
* *
* * -April
* * Why are you pumping your

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * *cough*
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Now, tell me about the

* *
* * -April
* * That man...
* * He's my boss.
* *
* * -April
* * Redd White, the president
* * of the information gathering

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Redd... White?)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * "Information gathering?"
* *
* * -April
* * Well... I suppose you could

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Hmm...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * So this is the man that

* * of the murder?
* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -April
* * I'm...
* * I'm scared to talk.
* *
* * -April
* * I don't want to

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (...!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * It's okay, I'll just
* * ask Mr. White himself.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Can you tell me where

* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Mr. Redd White, at last!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Finally, a lead on this guy!)
* *
* * -Phoenix

Hmm. The bellboy

Huh? The sound of water

-Bellboy
"La-dee-da! Money-Makin'...
Money-Makin'... I got the
Money-Makin' bluuuues..."
-Phoenix
Someone seems to enjoy
washing the showers.

MOVE TO: Grossberg Law Offices
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
(Alright, this is getting
ridiculous. Where the heck
is that loafer?)
-Grossberg
*Ah-HHHHEM!*
-Phoenix
(Ah, that old familiar
clearing of the throat...)
-Grossberg
Ah hah! You again.
-Phoenix
Um, hello, Mr. Grossberg.
-Grossberg
...
-Grossberg
Well, well.
-Grossberg
You were quite the
thing, my boy.
-Phoenix
Excuse me...?
-Grossberg
The trial! The trial!
-Phoenix
(He was there...?)
-Grossberg
Reminded me of myself
when I was a youth!
-Phoenix
(I guess something got passed
down through Mia... maybe?)
-Grossberg
It brings back
memories, it does!
-Grossberg
"Ah... the days of my youth...
like the scent of fresh
lemon..." you see.
-Grossberg
...
-Grossberg
I apologize.
-Phoenix
?
-Grossberg
I... It was all a bit
too much for me, my boy.
-Grossberg
Seeing you today,
I... well, I...
-Grossberg
...
-Phoenix
(I appreciate the reminiscing,
but I'd much rather you gave
me some information!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "Today's trial"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* So you came to
* see the trial?
*
* -Grossberg
* Yes, yes I did.
*
* -Grossberg
* Something was bothering me
* all last night, you see. I
* couldn't get a wink of sleep.
*
* -Phoenix
* Really? What was that?
*
* -Grossberg
* Well, you see, it's just...
* Mia's sister, that poor girl.
*
* -Grossberg
* My boy, I owe you
* my thanks, truly.
*
* -Grossberg
* I don't know what I would
* have done if things had
* gone poorly for the girl.
*
* -Phoenix
* (If you were that worried
* about it, why didn't you
* offer to defend her!?)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Your refusal"****************
*
* -Phoenix
* I asked before, but, why
* did you refuse her request
* for defense?
*
* -Phoenix
* I think I have
* a right to know.
*
* -Grossberg
* A right, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Grossberg
* No, no, I'm sorry. It's just,
* I need more time to think
* about it, my boy.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (He does seem troubled
* about something...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maybe I can find something
* that will inspire him to
* talk.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "That painting"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* The other day I'm sure there
* was a big, pretentious-looking
* painting on that wall...
*
* -Grossberg
* "Pretentious-looking"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well... you know
* the one I mean.
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, where did it go?
*
* -Grossberg
* Ah, yes, well...
*
* -Grossberg
* I... got rid of it. Got quite
* tired of the thing, really.
*
* -Grossberg
* I, er, sold it, you see.
* Yes, that's right.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Sold it!?
* I'm not sure I buy that...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Wasn't that painting rather
* important to you, sir?
*
* -Phoenix
* Did something happen?
*
* -Grossberg
* I don't see how it's
* any of your business!
*
* -Grossberg
* Please, speak no more
* of that accursed painting.
*
* -Grossberg
* I didn't...
* I...

*
* ***If you "pushed April hard"***************
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Where did you get that!?
* * Give it back at once!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I'm sorry to have taken
* * it without your knowledge.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * But... I have to know.
* * Who is this man?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * He was most likely in
* * April May's room the
* * night of the murder.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * !
* * What's that you say!?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * A-are you QUITE sure?
* * My boy?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (What has him so flustered
* * I wonder...?)
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * I... I beg your pardon, but
* * I must ask you to leave.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * I need to be alone.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (...!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (He's fallen silent
* * as a stone. A rather
* * large stone.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I guess I should
* * return that photo.)
* *
* * Returned photograph to
* * Mr. Grossberg.

*
* ***If you "eased April's fears"*************
* *

* * -Phoenix
* * I borrowed it.

* * -Grossberg
* * Well, give it back at once!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Mr. Grossberg.
* * Tell me about the man
* * in this photo.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * He may have been in that hotel
* * room with April May on the
* * night of the murder.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Do you know something
* * about him... anything?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * ...!
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Hmm. Ahem!
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Very well.
* * I'll tell you what I know.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * However...
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * You didn't hear it
* * from me, if you follow.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I follow.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * That man is Mr. Redd White.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * He's the President of Bluecorp.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Redd White... Hmm.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Bluecorp... they're something
* * like a detective agency, right?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * They're information pros.
* * They sell information, you see.
* * Sensitive information.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Despite his name, Mr. White
* * has the blackest reputation
* * of any man in this country.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Should you run across him,
* * watch what you say.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * You wouldn't want him digging

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Hmm... selling information.
* * Sounds like blackmail.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Can you tell me where
* * Bluecorp is located?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Hmm...
* * I suppose.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Mr. Redd White, at last!)

Bluecorp Inc.
CEO's Office
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
(What's with the surreal
décor...?)
-???
Welcome! Please furnish
me with the title of your
personage!
-Phoenix
(What the...?)
-White
Your name!
What's your name?
-White
I was just inquirably asking
the title that you go by.
-Phoenix
Uh... Wright. Phoenix Wright.
("Inquirably"...?)
-White
Mr. Wright, is it?
Right, I see...
-White
Splendiferous.
-White
Perhaps I have intimidated
you with my giantesque
vocabulary...?
-Phoenix
(What is this guy's problem!)
-White
I'm Redd White, CEO of
Bluecorp. You know,
Corporate Expansion Official?
-White
My business dealings
bring me into contact with
the elite of the elite.
White
So I'm afraid I am not
used to conversing with the
wordily-challenged.
-Phoenix
(What a fruitcake!)
-White
Hmmm, let me guess...
-White
You are an attorney fresh out
of law school, are you not?
-White
That's the only explanation
for why you would come to
meet me like this!
-Phoenix
(What does he mean by that?)
-White
No matter.
-White
So, what business does a
"mighty" lawyer have with
a man such as myself?
-Phoenix
(Yipes! This guy's arrogance
meter is off the scale!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Is this a replica?

* Ridiculosity! I have no

* Well? Does its sleek

* "Judges Special Runner-up"
* "Best Participation"
*
* -Phoenix
* "Judges Cooperation Award"
* "Special Good Try Prize"

*
* -White
* Bad, bad girl.

* Miss May is an employee of
* Bluecorp, is she not?
*

* What a shock it was to
* hear what she has done!
*
* -Phoenix
* "What she has done"...
* You mean the wiretap?
*
* -White
* Indeed! She is paid to
* answer phones. Tapping them

*
* -White
* She does gather information
* for us as part of her duties.
*
* -White
* But, I assure you, we do
* not condone illegal methods!
*
* -White
* It is ineffable that

********************************************
***Talk about "Night of the murder"*********
*
* -Phoenix
* On the night of the murder
* were you in April May's
* hotel room?
*
* -White
* Who can say? I seldom pay
* attention to mundane details
* such as time and place.
*
* -White
* My motto is:
* "Don't worry, be happy!"
*
* -Phoenix
* Still, Mr. White...
*
* -Phoenix
* The hotel bellboy has stated
* on the record that he does
* remember you very clearly.
*
* -White
* ...
*
* -White
* No matter! The bellboy
* can say what he pleases.
* I still won't talk to you.
*

* If you want me to speak,
* put me on the witness stand!
*
* -White
* Although I doubt you'd be
* capable of doing that.
*
* -Phoenix

* question, actually...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Why didn't prosecution
* call him as a witness?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (He should have "seen" the
* same thing as April May!)
*
* -White
* Oh hoh hoh.
*
* -White
* The police... the courts...
*
* -White
* To me they are mere toys.
* Playthings for my amusement!

***Talk about "Bluecorp"********************
*
* -Phoenix
* What kind of company
* is Bluecorp, anyway?
*
* -White
* Ah, excellent question!
*
* -White
* We buy and sell various
* kinds of information.
*
* -White
* We are the company of the
* future! You might say,
* we ARE the future!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Sell... information?)
*
* -White
* In just 10 years, I've built
* this business up into the
* grand office you see now.
*
* -White
* Ah, in case you were
* wondering, Bluecorp was
* named after the color "blue"!
*
* -White
* I, Redd White of Bluecorp,
* as founder and CEO, named
* it so!
*
* -White
* And why, you ask? Because I
* like the color blue of course!
*
* -White
* Fantabulistic, is it not?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "That painting"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh... there's something

* No, my feeble friend.

Aaa-HHHEM!

Jumping Jehosephats!

Oh! You!

Hmm? I'm not senile yet!

* She had been investigating

* (This is what Maya was
* talking about the other day!)
*
* -Grossberg
* I did all I could for her,
* and in the end, cleared her

* He offered me riches...
* It is an embarrassment
* to me now.

* Because I talked, the police

* for the one who sold them out.

* -Grossberg
* Of course White heard about
* it, and he came to me.
*

* Only this time, the offer
* was blackmail.

***Present Newspaper Clipping***************
*

* I found this in

* So she was investigating

*
* -Grossberg
* Well, if you wanted to

MOVE TO: Bluecorp

-White
Well, aren't you persistent.
-Phoenix
Sorry, but there's something
I have to ask you.
-White
Mr. Lawyer,
-White
I really hate having to
repeat myself...
-White
But it seems the message has
not yet penetrated your thick
skull... Stop bothering me!
-White
If you try my patience
further, I fear a nasty
accident may occur.
-White
Do I make myself clear?
-Phoenix
(Transparent...)

***Talk about "Miss May"********************

*
* -White
* Why yes! There's my eyes,

* But of course I jest.

* -Phoenix
* Mr. White... see this?
*
* -Phoenix
* It's an article describing

*
* -White
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* He was embezzling secret
* government funds.
*
* -Phoenix
* Then, one day, word got

*
* -Phoenix
* The very next day he took

* -White
* Miss Mia...?

* -Phoenix
* She had a file filled with

*
* -Phoenix
* Every one of them was labeled

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * You snooped on him, and found
* * out about the embezzlement.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Then, when you revealed
* * it, he was driven to suicide!
* *
* * -White
* * Mr. Lawyer.
* *
* * -White
* * I know nothing of this.
* *
* * -White
* * And, even in the highly
* * unlikely event that I did
* * do such a thing...
* *
* * -White
* * All I would have done is

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * This company is built

* * I'm right, aren't I?

* * -White
* * Mr. Wrong...

* * What is it that you should be

* * For this reason you had April
* * May tapping her phone.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Then, Mia was murdered,

September 8, 3:37 PM
Detention Center
Visitor's Room
-Phoenix
I can't believe it's only
been a day since the first
trial.
-Phoenix
My trial begins tomorrow.
-Phoenix
White's going to
set a trap for me.
-Phoenix
And the prosecution will
be in on it, of course.
Edgeworth, included.
-Phoenix
An attorney was assigned to
me by the state, yesterday.
-Phoenix
I refused.
I had an idea.
-Maya
...
-Maya
Wright!
-Maya
Mr. Wright!
-Phoenix
Oh, Maya!
-Phoenix
Great, they let you
out of detention.
-Maya
Just now, yes.
It's all thanks to you!
-Phoenix
Hah. Now I'm afraid we've
switched places.
-Maya
What? You mean, you...?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
I explained what had
happened to Maya.
-Phoenix
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
I don't believe it!
-Maya
How many people does that man
need to destroy before he's
satisfied!? My mother...
-Maya
My sister...
-Maya
And now you!
-Maya
This has gone too far!
Maya
Mr. Wright, please tell me,
is there anything I can do?
-Phoenix
Um... well...
***Defend me in court***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Alright, you can be my
* defense lawyer tomorrow!
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* Leave it to me! I am Mia's
* sister, after all! Lawyership
* runs in our blood!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wasn't it E.S.P. that
* ran in your blood...?)
*
* -Maya
* I'd better run to the
* bookstore and pick up a copy
* of "Law for Rookies."
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Cheer me on in court*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, you could cheer
* for me in court.
*
* -Maya
* Cheer for you?
* You mean... like a
* cheerleader?
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? Um, yeah, like that.
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
* Leave it to me!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* I'd better go get a uniform
* and some pom-poms...!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Help me break out of here****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. Okay, listen up.
* I want you to help me break
* out of here!
*
* -Maya
* You mean... a jail break?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. Tonight's our
* only chance!
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* Oh, I'd better go get a
* hacksaw while the stores
* are still open.
*
* -Maya
* Oh, oh! And a rope ladder,
* and a getaway car!
* Can you drive?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
W-wait. Wait wait wait.
-Maya
What what what?
-Phoenix
I'm kidding! It was a joke!
-Maya
No way!
-Phoenix
No really, I was kidding.
But thanks. It's good to know
you're on my side.
-Phoenix
(And there really isn't
anything you can do
for me anyway...)
-Maya
But... but I can't just sit
here and do nothing!
-Maya
I've got to give that
man a piece of my mind!
-Phoenix
(Just a piece...?)
-Phoenix
Okay.
-Phoenix
Then, come to the
court tomorrow.
-Maya
O-okay! I'll be there!
-Maya
I'll show them
a thing or two!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
It's the beginning of a new
century, yet with crime it's
the same old story.
-Phoenix
In fact, it's gotten worse.
Lengthy court proceedings
are no longer realistic.
-Phoenix
Beginning a few years ago,
a limit of three days was put
on initial court trials.
-Phoenix
Almost all finish in a day.
Most with a guilty verdict.
-Phoenix
I never thought I would
end up in the defendant's
chair myself.
-Phoenix
Tomorrow the true
culprit will appear
as a witness.
-Phoenix
This is it!
It's me or him!

District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1
-Maya
Well... I guess
this is it!
-Phoenix
Yeah.
-Phoenix
One way or another, this
case gets decided today.
-Maya
Aaa!
Ph-Phoenix! Look!
-Phoenix
(...!)
-Phoenix
(Prosecutor... Edgeworth.)
-Edgeworth
I received a call from the
public prosecutor's office
yesterday.
-Phoenix
?
-Edgeworth
He told me that whatever
Mr. White says today, it will
be the "absolute truth."
-Edgeworth
No matter how you try to
attack his testimony...
-Edgeworth
If I raise an objection,
I have it on good faith that
the judge will listen to me.
-Phoenix
(What, does White have the
judge in his pocket, too!?)
-Phoenix
So... you're saying I'm going
to be guilty. End of story?
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
I will do anything to get my
verdict, Mr. Wright. Anything.
-Maya
Why...
Why!?
-Maya
How can you torment an
innocent person like this!?
-Edgeworth
"Innocent"...?
-Edgeworth
How can we know that?
-Edgeworth
The guilty will always lie,
to avoid being found out.
-Edgeworth
There's no way to tell
who is guilty and who
is innocent!
-Edgeworth
All that I can hope to do
is get every defendant
declared "guilty"!
-Edgeworth
So I make that my policy.
-Phoenix
Edgeworth...
-Phoenix
You've changed.
-Maya
Hmm?
-Maya
Phoenix!
You know him!?
-Edgeworth
Don't expect any special
treatment, Phoenix Wright.
-Maya
Ph-Phoenix...?
-Phoenix
Well... court will be opening
for session soon.
-Maya
What? But wait!
-Maya
Your defense attorney isn't
even here yet! He's not...
-Phoenix
I'll be defending myself.
-Maya
Whaaaat!?
-Phoenix
Okay, let's do this.

September 9, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1
-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Phoenix Wright.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Mr. Wright...
Are you sure you're
up to doing this?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
I will be defending myself.
-Judge
Understood.
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.
-Edgeworth
As the details of the event
are already quite clear to
the court,
-Edgeworth
today we will hear the
testimony of another witness
to the defendant's crime.
-Judge
I see.
-Judge
The prosecution may call
its witness.
-Phoenix
(That went far too smoothly!)
-Phoenix
(Why didn't the judge ask
Edgeworth why his witness
didn't testify before!?)
-Phoenix
(It's like... it's like
he already knows why!)
-Phoenix
(Hmm. If anyone's going to
raise an objection about
this, I suppose it's me...)
***Objection********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Edgeworth, you owe an
* explanation to the court!
*
* -Phoenix
* Why didn't this witness
* testify in the trial against
* Ms. Maya Fey!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hmph.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'm ever so sorry!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mr. White is a busy man,
* and besides...
*
* -Edgeworth
* at the time, I thought that
* Ms. May's opinion was all
* that would be needed.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Again, my sincerest
* apologies to the court.
*
* -Judge
* Excellent, Mr. Edgeworth.
* I appreciate your demeanor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Great. He gets to show
* off and I get nowhere.)

********************************************
***Let it go********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Forget it.
* I smell a trap.)
*
* CONTINUE

********************************************
-Edgeworth
I would like to call
Mr. Redd White to the stand!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Please state your full name.
-White
You wish to know the
title of my personage?
-Edgeworth
Er... your name?
-White
Yes! That is what I said!
-White
Oh dear, do my
locutions confuse?
-Edgeworth
Name!
-Phoenix
(These two are great
together...)
-White
My name is Redd White.
But my friends call me
Blanco Nino.
-White
I am the CEO, or to use a more
common term, the President,
of Bluecorp.
-Edgeworth
Did you know the victim,
Ms. Mia Fey?
-White
That would be a negatory!
No, I did not.
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
You were at the Gatewater
Hotel the night of the
murder?
-White
Correct.
-Edgeworth
And you witnessed the
murder from there?
-White
Ahem. Why tell you what
you already know?
-Judge
Very well, Mr. White. You
may begin your testimony.
-Phoenix
(If I can't rip this guy's
testimony apart, I'm
done for.)
-Phoenix
(Why do I always feel like
it's the end of the world and
I'm the last man standing?)
-White
Ho hoh hoh.
-White
I hope you have made your
peace with God, Mr. Lawyer!
-Phoenix
...!
-Maya
Let him have it, Phoenix!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-White
Let's see, it was about
9:00, I believe.
(2)
-White
I was quietly perusifying...
er, that's "reading" to you,
some papers by the window.
(3)
-White
Then I heard a bedlam
coming from outside!
(4)
-White
Surprised, I turned to
look at the building
across the way.
(5)
-White
It was then I saw him:
a spiky-haired man attacking
a woman with long hair!
(6)
-White
Needless to say that man was
none other than you,
Mr. Lawyer!
(7)
-White
I called Miss May over
at once. She, too, was
flabbergasted of course.
(8)
-White
The victim, she... she ran
away, but you gave chase!
(9)
-White
Finally there was a
terrible impaction!
Then it was all over...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
If things occurred as you
testify, then I'm afraid the
defendant is guilty.
-Judge
Very well, defendant... er,
I mean, Mr. Wright.
-Judge
Your cross-examination...
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-White
Let's see, it was about
9:00, I believe.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How do you know what time
it was?
-White
Because I am always
abso-posi-lutely perfect,
you know?
-Phoenix
No no no, you're not getting
away with that!
-White
You are so mistrusting,
Mr. Lawyer!
-White
So... what was the proper
term for "secretary" again...?
-White
Anyway, Miss May ordered
room service for 9:00.
-White
It happened soon after the
room service arrived.
-Phoenix
(Hmm. That's what Miss May
said, too.)
***Press further****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* True, the bellboy who brought
* the coffee saw Miss May.
*
* -Phoenix
* But he testified that he
* did not see you at the time!
*
* -White
* Ahem. This is your concern?
*
* -White
* Silly Lawyer! Miss May
* received the coffee outside
* the room!
*
* -White
* Of course he could not see me.
* He would need X-ray vision to
* pull off something like that!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tell us, what were you
* doing at the time?
*
********************************************
***Hold back********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I don't see anything to gain
* by attacking him on this
* point any further.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Okay, what were you
* doing at the time?
*
********************************************
(2)
-White
I was quietly perusifying...
er, that's "reading" to you,
some papers by the window.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
By window, you mean the one
directly across from the
Fey & Co. Law Office?
-White
Correct! That is the only
window, you see.
-Phoenix
And there you were
reading... papers?
-White
Correct!
-White
The Gatewater is a business-
man's hotel, and I am a busy
man who had business to do!
(3)
-White
Then I heard a bedlam
coming from outside!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A "bedlam"?
-White
It must have been when
you attacked, I assume.
-Edgeworth
We see. Continue.
(4)
-White
Surprised, I turned to
look at the building
across the way.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you were reading your
papers until you heard
that sound?
-White
But of course. I am
no snoop, peeping out of
windows at night.
-Phoenix
(No snoop? Yeah, right!
You've made a career
out of snooping!)
(5)
-White
It was then I saw him:
a spiky-haired man attacking
a woman with long hair!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
S-spiky-haired!?
(6)
-White
Needless to say that man was
none other than you,
Mr. Lawyer!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What you just said directly
conflicts with Miss May's
testimony!
-Phoenix
Miss May clearly stated that
the assailant looked like
a "girl"!
-White
I've always been proud
of my eyesight, Mr. Lawyer.
-Phoenix
Just what is your eyesight?
-White
Counting both eyes... 40!
-Phoenix
40!? Don't add them together!
-Judge
I think the witness is trying
to say his eyesight is good.
-Phoenix
(Hey, whose side is the
judge on, anyway?)
-Edgeworth
And what did you do then?
(7)
-White
I called Miss May over
at once. She, too, was
flabbergasted of course.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What was Miss May doing
at that time?
-White
She had just finished
watching a soap opera on the
TV, and was weeping openly.
-Phoenix
Did you know she had been
tapping the Fey office phone?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Irrelevant! That has nothing
to do with the case at hand.
-White
I care not. I will answer the
lawyer's bold inquiry.
-White
Miss May was acting alone
when she tapped the phone
of this Fey woman.
-Phoenix
You'd make a good politician,
Mr. White.
-White
Ho hoh! After all, I am
"El Presidente."
-Judge
Please continue.
(8)
-White
The victim, she... she ran
away, but you gave chase!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Can you be a little more
detailed about that?
-Phoenix
I think it's worth knowing
exactly what happened.
-White
Of course! Comprende!
I understand!
-White
The victim was attacked,
by you, and ran to the left.
-White
You gave chase, and struck
her down!
-Edgeworth
Are you sure?
-White
As you know, I am always
abso-posi-lutely perfect!
-Judge
Perhaps you could change
your testimony to reflect
this new detail.
CHANGE TO 8b
(8b)
-White
The victim ran to the left,
and you gave chase!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure about that?
-White
How many times must I say it?
-White
I am abso-posi-lutely perfect!
End of story!
-Phoenix
(How many times must
I hear that?)
-Maya
Psst! Phoenix!
-Maya
Doesn't something about
that strike you as a
little odd?
(9)
-White
Finally there was a
terrible impaction!
Then it was all over...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Um... "impaction"?
Don't you mean just "impact"?
-White
Ridiculosity! I think you need
to brush up on your language
skills!
-Phoenix
(On second thought, perhaps
I'd better leave the whole
language thing alone...)
-Phoenix
(Did Edgeworth "prep" this guy,
too, I wonder?)
-Phoenix
(Anyway, I'd better find
a weakness in there...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Wait right there!
-Phoenix
Mr. White, you've
dug your own grave!
-White
What is this!?
-Phoenix
You said the victim ran
to the "left."
-Phoenix
But that directly contradicts
Miss May's testimony!
-Phoenix
She clearly stated that the
victim ran "right"!
-White
...!
-White
Oh hoh hoh. It is simple.
You have misheard her.
-Phoenix
I think not.
-Phoenix
Look at the floor plans...
-Phoenix
The killer was here.
-Phoenix
And the victim, here.
-Phoenix
If the victim ran to the
left, as you claim she did...
-Phoenix
She would have been running
directly away from the door!
-Phoenix
She would have been running
into a dead end!
-Phoenix
Don't you find that odd?
-White
!
-White
Very strange...
-White
I did see her run to the
left... I did.
-Maya
Phoenix... look at his face.
I don't think he's lying
about this one.
-Phoenix
True.
-Phoenix
(Maybe he really did see
the victim run left...?)
-Phoenix
(So he did witness the
killing...?)
-Phoenix
(Wait a second!)
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?
-Judge
Miss May says "right," and
Mr. White says "left."
-Judge
Can you explain this
contradiction to the court?
***Mr. White is right***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* As Mr. White testified,
* Mia ran to the left.
*
* -Judge
* But...
* But if that's the case...
*
* -Judge
* Why would she run in the
* opposite direction from
* the door?
*
* -Phoenix
* She did not. She was running
* towards the door, Your Honor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Bwah!
* Now you're the one making
* a contradiction, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Not at all.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Miss May is right************************
*
* -Phoenix
* As Miss May has stated, Mia
* ran to the right after she
* was attacked.
*
* -White
* What is this?
* I am not fashioning
* fabrications, I assure you!
*
* -White
* That lady ran to the left!
* I am sure of it!
*
* -Phoenix
* Then there can be
* only one explanation.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Eh...? And that is?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Both are right***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Both witnesses are
* telling the truth.
* (For once...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah! I doubt it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Er, rather, that does not
* clear up the contradiction!
*
* -Phoenix
* There is one scenario that
* would explain their
* conflicting accounts.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What!?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
Obviously, the witness was not
viewing the crime from the
hotel!
-Judge
Mr. Wright! What do you mean?
-Edgeworth
Yes, what do you mean,
he was not "viewing the crime
from the hotel"!?
-Edgeworth
If he was not in the hotel,
where could he have been!?
-Phoenix
In the law offices of
Fey & Co., of course!
-Phoenix
More specifically, he
was standing here!
-Phoenix
(Show the court where
Mr. White was standing!)
***Present location of victim***************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* That's where he was!
*
* -Edgeworth
* M-Mr. Wright!
* We are not fools!
*
* -Edgeworth
* How could he have been
* exactly where the victim
* was standing!?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Oh... oh, right!)
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* What is the meaning of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry, Your Honor! Sorry!
* Let me try that again...
*
* RETURN TO FLOOR PLANS
*
********************************************
***Present anywhere*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* That's where he was!
*
* -Judge
* Hold it right there,
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* If he was there during
* the very act of murder...
*
* -Judge
* That would make him
* an accomplice!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Impossible!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There was no one other than
* the criminal and victim in
* the room!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There is no evidence, no
* proof to the contrary! None!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry! Er... let me
* try that again!
*
* RETURN TO FLOOR PLANS
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
This is where he was!
-Phoenix
Look!
-Phoenix
When the victim ran for
the door...
-Phoenix
If he was watching from this
point, to him it would appear
that she ran to the "left."
-Edgeworth
Please! This is no time for
jokes in ill taste!
-Edgeworth
That is where the
killer was standing!
-Judge
Order! I will have order!
-Judge
Anyone disturbing the order
of this courtroom will be
held in contempt!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What are you suggesting!?
-White
R-r-rapscallion!!!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The postulations of the
defense are a distortion
of the truth, Your Honor!
-Judge
Indeed.
They do seem a bit
far-fetched...
-White
...
-White
Ho hoh hoh!
-White
You provide us with so
much entertainment,
Mr. Lawyer!
-Phoenix
(What now!?
He's... laughing!?)
-White
The hilarity of the moment
made me remember something...
-White
It appears I have been
unclear, and for this,
I apologize.
-White
Mr. Your Honor...
-White
Might I be allowed to
testify once more?
-Judge
Very well, let's hear
your revised testimony.
-Phoenix
(Good luck. You can't fix
a broken testimony, buddy!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- She Ran to the "Left" --
(1)
-White
Miss May's testimony was
correct... as was mine!
(2)
-White
When you assaulted the girl,
she first ran to the left.
(3)
-White
And then you hit her,
savagely! That is what I saw.
(4)
-White
Next, with the last
of her strength, she
ran to the right.
(5)
-White
You chased her, and delivered
the final blow.
(6)
-White
That is what Miss May saw.
(7)
-White
You see?
You hit her twice!
-White
Don't you remember,
Mr. Lawyer?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
That does seem to make sense.
-Judge
Will you be cross-examining
the witness's testimony?
-Phoenix
You bet I will!
I mean, yes, Your Honor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- She Ran to the "Left" --
(1)
-White
Miss May's testimony was
correct... as was mine!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What do you mean by that!
-White
That is what I am
about to explain!
-White
You Americans, always so
impatient! It does not
become you.
-Phoenix
(Hey buddy, you're an
American, too!)
(2)
-White
When you assaulted the girl,
she first ran to the left.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What do you mean "first"?
-White
"First"? That is what comes
before what happens "next."
You do speak English, right?
-White
Please, sit back, relax.
I will try to use simple
words for your benefit.
-White
First, she ran to the left,
and then...
(3)
-White
And then you hit her,
savagely! That is what I saw.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
I didn't hit anyone!
-White
Now, now, Mr. Wright.
There is no point hiding
things from this court.
-Phoenix
I'm not hiding anything!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The prosecution requests that
the defense refrain from
interrupting the testimony!
-Judge
Mr. Wright, you have
been warned.
-Phoenix
(Why's he mad at me!?)
(4)
-White
Next, with the last
of her strength, she
ran to the right.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What do you mean "next"!?
-White
"Next" is what comes
after "first."
-Phoenix
I know that!
-White
Then that is all you need
to know, Mr. Lawyer.
-White
As I said, she turned and
made a desperate dash to
the right.
(5)
-White
You chased her, and delivered
the final blow.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Stop saying it was me!
-White
But, it was you.
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright! If you claim
that it was NOT you, then
show us proof!
-Phoenix
(Argh! Can I do nothing
right? Nothing!?)
-White
May I continue?
(6)
-White
That is what Miss May saw.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So each of you saw
different parts...?
-White
Abso-posi-lutely!
That's right, of course!
-Phoenix
(Where did he pick up
that annoying phrase...?)
-White
Anyway, moving along!
(7)
-White
You see?
You hit her twice!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So were you watching
both times?
-White
I suppose I was.
-White
And please excuse me for not
testifying to this sooner!
-Maya
What do you think Phoenix?
-Phoenix
I think we've got him
right where we want him!
He slipped!
-Phoenix
Let him laugh for now.
I'll soon wipe that smile
off his face!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Mr. White!
-Phoenix
The victim died from
a "single" blow!
-White
...!
-Phoenix
What do you have
to say to that?
-White
Er... Erp!
-Phoenix
(Now's my chance to
hit him where it counts!)
-Phoenix
Mr. White. Wasn't it you who
told this court you were
"abso-posi-lutely perfect"?
-White
Mmph.
-White
I will refrain from using
this phrase from now on.
-Phoenix
Your Honor, if you could ask
the witness for a new
testimony...
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The witness is obviously
confused, Your Honor!
-Edgeworth
I would like to request
a 10 minute break!
-Judge
Yes... yes, quite.
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
The witness is confused
because he's lying!
-Phoenix
I emphatically request that
there be no break, Your Honor!
(Yeah! We want justice...!)
(Don't let him get away!)
-Judge
Very well.
-Judge
If the witness would care to
revise his testimony...
-Phoenix
(The crowd's on my side!
No slipping out of this
now, White!)
-Judge
Mr. White?
-White
O... okay...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Two Accounts --
(1)
-White
Umm, well, see--I looked at
the other window when I heard
that thing fall.
(2)
-White
Then, the next moment, I saw
Miss Mia run to the left!
(3)
-White
The killer, you, attacked
her... but she dodged.
-White
Umm... and then...
(4)
-White
She turned, and ran
for the door!
(5)
-White
Then you did her in with
a single blow! Thwap!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm. "Thwap" indeed.
-Judge
Very well, you may begin
the cross-examination.
-White
Mr. Your Honor...
-White
My stomach, you see,
it is hurting...
-Phoenix
Deal with it.
-Phoenix
This is almost over.
-White
...!

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Two Accounts --
(1)
-White
Umm, well, see--I looked at
the other window when I heard
that thing fall.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You heard "that thing fall"?
What exactly was "that thing"?
-White
Huh? Oh... oh, that?
Umm... the glass light stand!
-Phoenix
(Right... the one that had
fallen over at the scene.)
-Maya
Phoenix!
-Maya
Doesn't something about
that strike you as odd?
***Yeah, very odd***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Yeah, that is odd.
* I'll press further.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. White
*
* -White
* Huh? W-what?
*
* -Phoenix
* You're saying you saw
* the glass light stand?
*
* -White
* Y-yes.
*
* -Phoenix
* Then change your testimony

*
* -White
* S-sorry.

*

* No, not really.

* Please continue your

*
********************************************
(1b)
-White
A light stand was lying on
the floor when I looked.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
The "glass stand was lying
on the floor"? That's the
first I've heard of this.
-Phoenix
Why didn't you tell us
about the stand before?
-White
W-why? Me?
-White
W-well... I was instructed
not to... wait!
-White
One moment!
Give me a minute to gather
my thoughts.
-White
I am so... so confused.
-Phoenix
(White's falling apart.)
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Your Honor! Please, I ask that
you do not allow the witness
to be badgered any further!
-Judge
M-Mr. Wright.
-Judge
Please refrain from badgering
the witness...
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
(Edgeworth is on the ropes!)
-Judge
Very well. The witness
may continue his account.
(2)
-White
Then, the next moment, I saw
Miss Mia run to the left!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Miss Mia"...?
-Phoenix
Mr. White, did you know
the victim personally?
-White
No no no, triple no!
How would I? How could I!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
I see nothing odd about
the witness knowing
the name of the victim.
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright! I will not have
you harrying the witness!
-Phoenix
(You're looking a little
flustered, Edgeworth!)
(3)
-White
The killer, you, attacked
her... but she dodged.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Now before, you said that she
was hit before she ran.
-White
Y-yes, I must have
been confused.
-White
But don't worry!
We all know what happened now.
(4)
-White
She turned, and ran
for the door!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What did you do then?
-White
I gave chase, of course!
-White
...!
-White
No! No! Not me.
Th-the killer, I mean!
He gave chase!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Mr. White, please try
to remain calm.
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright here is only trying
to fluster you with baseless
accusations!
-White
Oh... oh right. Thank you,
Miles.
(5)
-White
Then you did her in with
a single blow! Thwap!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Thwap"...?
-Phoenix
That doesn't sound like the
"savage" attack from your
earlier testimony...
-White
Ho! Hoh hoh! Yes, well,
I am a man of peace, you see.
-Maya
Phoenix!
-Maya
He's getting a lot
less talkative.
-Phoenix
He's probably afraid I'll
catch him on something!
-Phoenix
(But it won't be easy!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Mr. White.
***If Glass Shards presented****************
*
* -Phoenix
* It was impossible for you
* to have seen the light stand!
*
* -White
* Whaaaat!?
*
* -Phoenix
* The stand broke into
* pieces when it fell!
*
* -White
* Ooof!
*
* -Phoenix
* Just by seeing the broken
* pieces you would have no

*
* -Phoenix
* So tell me, exactly when

*
* -Phoenix
* Answer the question!
*
* -White
* ...!
*
* -White
* I-isn't it obvious?
* I saw the stand before it

* (Hmm...)
*

* * Yeah, I guess so.

This is the area you
would be able to see!

Here!

Mr. White.
-Phoenix
If you were in the Gatewater
hotel as you claim,
-Phoenix
you could not have seen the
stand before it fell over!
-Phoenix
In fact, you wouldn't have
been able to see it after
it fell, either!
-Phoenix
There's no way you could have
recognized the broken shards
as a glass light stand!
-Phoenix
So, when did you see
the stand, Mr. White?
-Phoenix
It must have been the
moment that it fell!
-Phoenix
And the only place you could
have seen that from... is
inside the Fey Law Offices!
-Phoenix
In other words, you were
at the scene of the crime,
when the murder took place!
-White
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Mr... White?
-White
...
-Phoenix
Mr. White.
-White
...
-Phoenix
You did it, didn't you?
-White
...
-White
Mr. Your Honor.
-White
I... I...
Miss Mia...
-White
...
-Phoenix
(Heh. Looks like we're about
to get our verdict!)
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
That's far enough,
Phoenix Wright!
-Phoenix
W-what!?
(Urk! I forgot about
Edgeworth!)
-Edgeworth
Mr. White...
-White
...
-Edgeworth
I think the time has come.
-Edgeworth
Shouldn't you confess
your crime now, hmm?
-White
W... what?
-Edgeworth
I said, you should confess
your crime.
-Edgeworth
Ergo,
-Edgeworth
confess that you placed
the wiretap!
-Phoenix
The w-wiretap!?
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth! Explain to the
court what you mean by this!
-Edgeworth
Distinguished members of
of the court...
-Edgeworth
Mr. White is slightly
confused.
-Edgeworth
Allow me to explain.
-Phoenix
(I really don't like the
way this is headed...)
-Edgeworth
As you know, Mr. White is
the CEO of Bluecorp.
-Edgeworth
He ordered his secretary,
Miss April May, to tap the
law offices of Ms. Fey.
-Judge
What does that have to do...?
-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
The question is: when was the
wiretap placed in the office,
and by who?
-Phoenix
No! You wouldn't!
-Edgeworth
Mr. White.
-Edgeworth
In order to place the
wiretap, you entered
Ms. Fey's office.
-Edgeworth
Am I correct...?
-White
...
-White
!
-White
C-correct! You are
most correct, Miles!
-Phoenix
Give me a break!
-White
Yes... in order to place the
wiretap, I breached the
Fey & Co. Law Offices!
-White
That is when I saw that
accursed light stand!
-Judge
Now I'm confused. Please
explain to the court what
all this means, Mr. Edgeworth!
-Edgeworth
Gladly, Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
Mr. Phoenix Wright has made
his position quite clear.
-Edgeworth
He has determined that
Mr. White knew the glass
stand was in the office.
-Edgeworth
He has shown that there was
only one time Mr. White
could have seen the stand:
-Edgeworth
At the very moment of
the murder!
-Edgeworth
Thus, Mr. Wright would like
you to believe that Mr. White
was the murderer!
-Judge
I see.
-Edgeworth
However!
-Edgeworth
It is a fact that Mr. White
had been to that office well
before the murder took place!
-Edgeworth
He went to place the wiretap!
-Edgeworth
He could have seen the
glass light stand then.
-Edgeworth
Ergo, Mr. Phoenix Wright's
theory is revealed for the
baseless conjecture it is!
-Judge
Mr. White!
-Judge
You will testify to the
court about this wiretap!
-White
Ahem.
Leave it to me!
-Phoenix
(I... I feel faint.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Wiretapping --
(1)
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.
(2)
-White
I had entered the
Fey & Co. Law Offices.
(3)
-White
Of course, I had done so
to place the wiretap.
(4)
-White
That is when I saw this
glass light stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
So, you saw the stand
before the night of
the incident...
-Judge
And this is how you were able
to identify what had fallen
over. By the sound?
-White
Correct!
That is right.
-Judge
I see.
Very well, Mr. Wright, you
may cross-examine.
-Phoenix
(Gah! What am I supposed
to do now...!?)
-Maya
Good luck, Phoenix...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Wiretapping --
(1)
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
D-do you have proof!?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Miss April May knew the
details of Ms. Fey's
phone conversation!
-Edgeworth
This proves that the wiretap
was placed before the murder!
-Phoenix
Huh... right.
(2)
-White
I had entered the
Fey & Co. Law Offices.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Was it really you that
went into the office?
-Phoenix
Or was it Miss May?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Unidentified fingerprints
several days old were found
in the Fey & Co. Law Offices.
-Edgeworth
Those were obviously
Mr. White's.
-Phoenix
(And if I know Edgeworth, he's
already run a check on those
prints...)
-Edgeworth
Now, Mr. White. Tell us why
you went to the Fey & Co.
Law Offices.
(3)
-White
Of course, I had done so
to place the wiretap.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why did you tap Mia's
phone!?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
That has no bearing on
the current case, Your Honor.
-White
Bluecorp is a detective
agency of sorts.
-White
We have a responsibility to
protect client
confidentiality!
(4)
-White
That is when I saw this
glass light stand.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why did you notice something
as innocuous as a light
stand!?
-White
The light stand was made
entirely out of glass.
-White
It was quite stylish, so
I guess it made a lasting
impression on me.
-White
Such a beautacious thing
deserves attention,
does it not?
-White
That is all.
-Phoenix
(Dammit! There's nothing
there for me to press him on!)
-Phoenix
(Oh well... maybe he's rattled
enough that I can bluff
something out of him!)
CONTINUE AFTER PRESSING FOR A SHORT WHILE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
(Uh oh! Don't tell me
I've run out of ammo!)
-Edgeworth
Tsk tsk.
I'm afraid that's as
far as you go, Mr. Wright.
-Edgeworth
The time has come for you
to admit your defeat!
-Edgeworth
You fought... honorably.
-Phoenix
(No more...)
-Phoenix
(I can't take this anymore...)
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Judge
Are you giving up?
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
Y-yes, Your Honor.
-???
(Phoenix!)
-Phoenix
...?
-???
(Phoenix! Over here!)
-Phoenix
(I know that voice!)
-Phoenix
(...)
-Phoenix
(M-Mia!?)
-Mia
Never give up, Phoenix!
-Phoenix
...!!!!
-Phoenix
M-M-Mia...!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
Where...
Where am I?
-Phoenix
The waiting lobby...?
-Phoenix
What happened?
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
Oh, right...
-Phoenix
I lost the trial.
-Phoenix
I was... hallucinating.
-Phoenix
...
-Mia
Ah, you're finally awake.
-Phoenix
Gak!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mia
H-hey!
Phoenix!
-Mia
...
-Mia
"Gak"? That's no way
to greet an old friend!
-Mia
Phoenix, I want you
to look at me.
-Phoenix
Y-You're...
-Phoenix
M-Maya...?
-Mia
Didn't you know the Fey
women have strong psychic
powers...?
-Mia
When you accepted your
defeat in court...
-Mia
It appears that was enough
of a shock to awaken
Maya's true powers.
-Phoenix
So... Maya is channeling
you, Mia?
-Mia
That's right. I am Maya,
but I'm also Mia.
-Mia
Now, I want you to listen
to me, Phoenix.
-Mia
Maya never gave up.
You can't either!
-Mia
That's what I came here
to tell you.
-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
B-but!
-Mia
We don't have much time,
Phoenix. Now listen.
-Mia
You've already won.
-Phoenix
Huh...?
-Mia
You have that Receipt in
the court record, right?
-Phoenix
Um... oh, yeah! The one you
wrote "Maya" on...?
-Mia
Phoenix! White wrote that,
not me!
-Phoenix
So... so what do I do with it?
-Mia
Look at the front of
the receipt!
-Phoenix
The... front?
-Phoenix
(It's a regular receipt...)
-Phoenix
(Looks like it's from a
famous department store.)
-Phoenix
("$1,000.00"... wow, big
spender!)
-Phoenix
("Item"...
"glass light stand"...!)
-Phoenix
("Date of purchase"...
"September 4"...)
-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
September 4!
-Mia
That's right, Phoenix.
-Mia
I bought that stand the
day before I was killed!
-Phoenix
Whoa!
-Mia
Now, what did Mr. White
say in his testimony?
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.
-Phoenix
He said he saw the stand
the week before the murder!
-Mia
There you go!
-Mia
I think the court is
about to reconvene!
-Mia
Go do it, Phoenix!
You know you're innocent,
now you just have to prove it!
-Phoenix
Right!
Receipt updated in
the Court Record.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 9, 1:16 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1
-Judge
The court will now reconvene
for the trial of Mr. Phoenix
Wright.
-Judge
Is the defendant... rather,
are you alright, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes.
Sorry, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
I'm fine now.
-Judge
Then, let's start where
we left off.
-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
There is nothing to
go back to!
-Edgeworth
The cross-examination of
Mr. White is finished!
-Edgeworth
All that is required now is
for you to pass judgment on
the defendant Phoenix Wright!
-Judge
Hmm...
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
Please, give me
one more chance.
-Phoenix
I promise you, this is the
last time I'll ask you!
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
But, as Mr. Edgeworth has
noted, the trial is more or
less finished.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, do you have an
opinion on this matter?
-Edgeworth
I say... let us give
Mr. Phoenix Wright his
"last chance."
-Judge
Very well!
-Judge
You may begin your
cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Wiretapping --
(1)
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Do you have proof!?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Miss April May knew the
details of Ms. Fey's
phone conversation!
-Edgeworth
This proves that the wiretap
was placed before the murder!
-Phoenix
Huh... right.
-Phoenix
(Gah! I have to show him the
evidence Mia gave me!)
(2)
-White
I had entered the
Fey & Co. Law Offices.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Was it really you that
went into the office?
-Phoenix
Or was it Miss May?

*OBJECTION!*

in the Fey & Co. Law Offices.
-Edgeworth
Those were obviously
Mr. White's.
-Phoenix
(Gah! I have to show him the

Now, Mr. White. Tell us why
you went to the Fey & Co.
Law Offices
(3)
-White
Of course, I had done so
to place the wiretap.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why did you tap Mia's
phone!?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
This has no bearing on
the current case, Your Honor.
-Judge
Objection sustained.
Mr. Wright...
-Judge
I don't see how asking the
same questions again will
make any difference.
-Phoenix
(Right! I have to show him the
evidence Mia gave me!)
(4)
-White
That is when I saw this
glass light stand.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why did you notice something
as innocuous as a light
stand!?
-White
The light stand was made
entirely out of glass.
-White
It was quite stylish, so
I guess it made a lasting
impression on me.
-Phoenix
(Now I've just got to show
him the proof Mia gave me!)
-Phoenix
(Now I've just got to show
him the proof Mia gave me!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Look closely at this.
-Phoenix
See the word "Maya" written
in blood...?
-Edgeworth
Bwah hah!
You're grasping!
-Phoenix
I think not. Look at the
other side of the receipt.
-Edgeworth
Th-the other side?
-Phoenix
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
Would you tell the court
what is written on the other
side of that receipt?
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Well!
-Judge
A "glass light stand"!
-Judge
And the date of purchase...
-Judge
Why, that's the day
before the murder!
-Phoenix
You see!
-Phoenix
Mr. White.
-Phoenix
When you allegedly entered
Fey & Co. Law Offices at the
beginning of September...
-Phoenix
The stand could not
have been there!
-White
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
-White
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaahh!?
-Phoenix
Well, Mr. White?
-Phoenix
Can't get out of this
one, can you?
-White
No...
It's impossachievable...
-Phoenix
(Uh oh... he's losing it.)
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
Well, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
I understand there must be
quite a bit of PRESSURE
on you.
-Phoenix
But I think you'll agree you
can't judge me "guilty" under
these circumstances.
-Judge
!
-Judge
......
-Judge
Very well.
-Judge
Then, that is all for
the trial of...
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Not so fast, Phoenix Wright!
-Phoenix
Eh?
-Phoenix
(What! No way he can worm
his way out of this one!)
-Phoenix
(Oh wait... I forgot.
It's Edgeworth.)
-Edgeworth
There is a certain thread
of logic to the defendant's
claims.
-Edgeworth
However!
-Edgeworth
There is no concrete proof
that Phoenix Wright is
innocent!
-Phoenix
(...!)
-Edgeworth
Ergo!
-Edgeworth
I would like to request one
more day before Phoenix Wright
is granted his freedom.
-Edgeworth
I need time to make one more
inquiry into this matter.
-Judge
Hmm...!
-Phoenix
(Another inquiry...!?)
-Phoenix
(This isn't going to be
another one of those
"updated autopsy reports"!)
-Phoenix
(This guy just makes up
evidence as he pleases!)
-Phoenix
(This is bad...!)
***Object***********************************

with--or just make up--
something!)
-Phoenix
(And after Mia showed up
to help me and all...)

Mr. Your Honor!
-White
May I go home?
-Judge
Of course.
Thank you for your time.
-Phoenix
(Gah!)
-Mia
The witness will stay!
-Phoenix
(M-Mia...!)
-Mia
Phoenix!
-Mia
Read this note out loud.
-Phoenix
Mia? What's this...?
Memo received from Mia.
-Phoenix
Your Honor.
If I may...?
-Judge
You're quite persistent today,
Mr. Wright!
-Phoenix
(You bet I am! My life is
riding on this one!)

I have something I would

*TAKE THAT!*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
The memo Mia had given me
was a list of names.
-Phoenix
Many of them sounded
strangely familiar.
-Phoenix
People in finance, famous
celebrities...
-Phoenix
That's when it happened.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-White
S-s-stop! Desist! Halt!
-White
P-please, stop!
Make him stop!
-White
How... how did you
get that list!?
-Mia
Mr. White.
-Mia
Admit your guilt, right
here, right now.
-Mia
Or else this list will
be released to the press!
-White
!!!
-White
...
-White
I... I confess.
-White
I confess.
-White
I... I did it.
I hit her.
-White
I hit Miss Mia with
"The Thinker"!
-White
...
-Mia
Case closed, Your Honor.
-Judge
Well, I see no reason to
continue this trial.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Judge
You've done it again!
That was quite a spirited
defense!
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
I guess you could say that.
(If only you knew how
"spirit"-ed it was!)
-Judge
Hmm. Well!
-Judge
This court finds the
defense...
-Judge
Ahem! Rather, the defendant,
Mr. Phoenix Wright...

I'm lucky I had both
you and Maya on my side.
-Mia
I'm glad you made it.

-Mia
Thank you, Phoenix.
-Mia
You risked a lot to help
me... and Maya.

I won't forget it as

(As long as you "live"...?)

...
-Mia
My time here's running out.
-Phoenix
Huh?
-Mia
Maya's powers are still weak.
-Mia
I can't stay here that long.
-Phoenix
W-what!? No!
There's still so much to say!
-Mia
Don't worry.
-Mia
I'm sure we'll meet again.

Ch-Chief!

Hee hee.
I'm not the "Chief" anymore.

Phoenix?

Can you come to the office

I'll see you later.

(Being here, it's hard not
to think about that night...)
-???
You came!
-Phoenix
Mia...
-???
I was kinda worried
you might not.
-Phoenix
Huh? Of course I came...
-???
Well then!
-???
I'm pretty hungry.
How about a burger?
-Phoenix
M-Mia...?
-???
...

Bwah hah hah!
You should see your face!

Mia!

What are you talking about?
It's me! Maya!
-Phoenix
M-Maya...?
-Maya
What, did I look like
my sister?
-Phoenix
(Look like... you WERE her!)
-Maya
Hmm! I might be able to
use that.
-Maya
"Oh, Phoenix! Go to the store
and buy me lunch, would you?"
-Phoenix
Uhm, Maya...
Why are you here?
-Maya
Because of this!
-Maya
See? Mia wrote me a letter.
-Maya
"Take care of Phoenix for me."
-Phoenix
Take care of... huh?
-Maya
She means the office!
This office!
-Maya
Someone has to help with the
new Wright & Co. Law Offices,
right?
-Maya
And who better but me!
Maya Fey, reporting for duty!
-Maya
Wait, no, on second thought,
let's make this casual!
-Maya
Yo, Nick! Maya here, ready
to get down to business!
-Maya
You... don't mind me calling
you "Nick," do you?
-Maya
It's a great name! Mia said
that's what your friend
Larry calls you.
-Phoenix
("Nick"...?)
-Maya
You know what this means?
We're partners!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
You know, when I think
about it...
-Phoenix
It is Maya's fault
I'm here now.
-Phoenix
But...
-Phoenix
If it wasn't for her
I'd probably be in jail!
-Phoenix
"Wright & Co. Law Offices."
It's got a good ring to it.
-Phoenix
Yeah!
-Phoenix
Thanks, Maya!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mia
(Good luck, Phoenix.)
-Mia
(I'll always be here...
watching.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
Right! Okay, Nick, let's do it!
-Phoenix
Huh? Do... what?
-Maya
Burgers, dummy! Burgers!
-Maya
There's a great burger
joint just down the street.
-Maya
C'mon! Time's a wasting!
-Phoenix
O-okay! Wait up!

Grrah!
You have disgraced me for the
last time, Steel Samurai!
The pale moon in the sky
cries for your blood!
The moon? No, it is you who
should gaze upon the moon...
For it will be the last moon
you ever see!
See you in hell,
Evil Magistrate!
Whoooooooaaaaaaa!
Grrrrrraaaaaaaah!
The warriors' swords gleam

One has fallen... but who?
Only the moon knows!
Don't miss next week's

That rocked!
-Maya
"See you in Hell,
Evil Magistrate!!!"
-Phoenix
Whoa!
Stop waving that broom
around!
-Maya
Oh, Nick!
I didn't know you were here!
-Phoenix
Of course I'm here!
-Phoenix
What was that surreal
show you were watching?
-Maya
What!?
Nick, you mean, you don't
know the Steel Samurai!?
-Maya
He's only the most popular
TV hero for young people!
-Phoenix
Young...?
Like, how young?
-Maya
Umm... 10 years old?
-Phoenix
Then what the heck are YOU
doing getting all excited!?
-Maya
Hey! I'm only 17!
-Maya
That's seven-"teen." See?
I'm a teen! Not like you,
Nick.
-Phoenix
Hey! Don't talk to me like I'm
your grandpa or something.
I'm only 24 myself.
-Maya
Then watch it with me!
He's really cool!
And... it's really popular!
-Maya
When they asked grade school
kids what they wanted to be,
"Steel Samurai" was no.1!
-Phoenix
I really worry about kids
these days.
-Maya
Gramps!
-Maya
Well, the Steel Samurai's
over. I guess it's time to
close up the office.
-Phoenix
I guess...
-Phoenix
Wish we had some clients!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
A month has passed
since my trial.
-Phoenix
Mia's murder was the talk of
the town for some time...
-Phoenix
But no one paid any attention
to the Wright & Co. Law
Offices...
-Phoenix
How am I going to
pay the rent this month?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
It'll be okay.
-Maya
I'm sure some big client
is just around the corner!

Hmph.

Isn't that what he's
supposed to do?

Yeah, on TV!
-Phoenix
Yeah, on TV.
-Maya
No! I mean, he actually
did it! In real life!

He skewered a villain
with his Samurai Spear!

(Maya's here...
watching television.)

Now for the morning news.

The actor Will Powers
was arrested yesterday.
Powers plays the lead role

in the popular kid's show
"The Steel Samurai: Warrior
of Neo Olde Tokyo."
-TV
He was arrested on
suspicion of murder.

The victim was Jack Hammer,
who plays the villain known
as the "Evil Magistrate."
-TV
His body was found still
inside the Evil Magistrate
costume.
-TV
The "Samurai Spear" was also
found stuck through the body.
-TV
Police believe this was the
murder weapon, and are
investigating further.
-Phoenix

This has to be a joke.

No, no, no! It's a nightmare!
The Steel Samurai is over!

Of course it's him!
-Phoenix
Will Powers, our client!
That's him.

Um, maybe I shouldn't

But he definitely did it.
Murder. At least once.

D-disappointed!? Oh, no.
Oh no.

No, it's okay.
This is the real me.

When I got the part of
the Steel Samurai, with

-Will
I decided I would never show

job was over.
-Will
It's the kids, you know.
I didn't want to wreck

-Maya
Oh...

I guess it didn't matter.

So much for dreams.

I wonder what they think

*
* -Will
* He had been expertly skewered

* The "Samurai Spear"...?

* -Will
* Yes, it's a long spear

* Hey! Who's "new to this"!?
*
* -Will
* No, it's alright, really.
*
* -Will
* The Steel Samurai is the lead
* character in a popular kid's
* show.
*
* -Will
* He walks the streets of
* Neo Olde Tokyo...
*
* -Will
* Fighting battle after battle
* against the Evil Magistrate
* and his minions.
*
* -Will
* Of course, he never really
* defeats the Evil Magistrate.
*
* -Will
* Although...
*
* -Will

* Now, where were you on
* the day of the murder?
*
* -Will
* Well, that morning I came
* to studios at 9:00.
*
* -Will
* We worked through some
* action scenes until noon.
*
* -Will
* Rehearsal was to begin at
* 5:00, but I was a little
* tired.
*
* -Will
* So after lunch, I took a nap
* in my dressing room.
*
* -Will
* When I woke up, it was
* after 5:00! I was late
* for the rehearsal!
*
* -Will
* I hurried to the studio...
* and found everyone looking
* shocked.
*
* -Will
* They arrested me on the
* spot, and brought me here.
*
* -Phoenix
* (So he was sleeping the entire
* afternoon of the murder?)

Hey! You there!

You want in, you gotta

O-oh... s-sorry!

W-we're, um, lawyers.

Oh yeah? Well that's great.
I'm security!

And it's my job to make
sure that gawkers like
you stay OUT.
-Maya
G-gawkers?
-Oldbag
Gawkers! Sightseers!
Tourists!!!
-Oldbag
I know the type. You heard
about the incident and came
to snoop around.
-Oldbag
Youths today! Something
horrible happens and all you
can think of is sightseeing.
-Oldbag
Wasting your time
at a place like this.
-Oldbag
Don't you have jobs
you should be doing?
-Oldbag
Or do lawyers not work like
the rest of us? Maybe I should
become a lawyer too. Sounds

like a life of ease to me no

I was young things were a mite

* Can you tell me about
* Mr. Will Powers?

* -Oldbag
* He's not a bad kid, but
* don't be fooled by his mask!
*
* -Oldbag
* You wouldn't want him on
* the silver screen without
* it, believe me.
*
* -Oldbag
* Little old ladies watching
* would lose their lunch!
*
* -Oldbag
* That's probably why he thought
* that the Steel Samurai was
* his "big chance."
*
* -Oldbag
* No one thought he was
* capable of doing what he
* did to poor Jack Hammer...

* -Oldbag
* What "kind of person"?
* Oh... if you only knew!
*
* -Oldbag
* Jack Hammer will live on
* in many hearts as the
* ultimate action hero!
*
* -Oldbag
* He was simply dashing
* in the Dynamite Samurai
* series!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Should I have heard
* of that...?)
*
* -Oldbag
* But... there was an accident
* during filming five years ago.
*
* -Oldbag
* He got an unlucky break
* after that.
*
* -Oldbag
* Reduced to playing the villain
* on a children's program!
*
* -Oldbag
* What's more, I heard they
* were paying him peanuts.
* It's enough to make you cry.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -Phoenix
* Why are you so certain
* Mr. Powers is the killer?
*
* -Oldbag
* I was standing right
* here yesterday, I was.
*
* -Oldbag
* I was here from 1:00 in
* the afternoon, to 5:00,
* when they found the body!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now the studio where the
* murder took place is to
* the left here.
*
* -Oldbag
* So if you want to go to
* the studio, you have to
* pass by me!
*
* -Oldbag
* Only one person went by here
* between 1:00 and 2:30, when
* the murder took place!
*
* -Phoenix
* And... that person
* was Mr. Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* Yes.
* I saw him!
*
* -Phoenix
* But Mr. Powers says he was
* sleeping in his dressing room.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, I'm sure he would
* say that. He's no fool!
*
* -Oldbag
* But he was the only
* one that walked by.
*
* -Oldbag
* He's the killer, you can

-Gumshoe
Huh!? Hey! You can't
just go saying "pal"
like that!
-Gumshoe
That's MY endearing
character trait!
-Maya
I'd say he's a character
alright...

***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Maya
* There's a big welcome
* sign above the path.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, apparently the studio's
* fallen on tough times.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They've started letting
* people in on days they
* aren't filming.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They make a bit of extra
* money by charging for
* admission.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
* You sure know a lot about
* this place, Detective.
*
* -Maya
* You know, you could always
* quit being a detective
* and work here?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah! And what perfect
* timing, with the monkey's
* neck broken and all.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? Just what's that
* supposed to mean, pal!?
*
********************************************
***Examine bench****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm a little bushed.
* Maybe I'll take a short
* rest here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, good idea, pal!
*
* -Maya
* Detective!
* Aren't you on the case?
*
* -Gumshoe
* W-well, yeah, but...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, us detectives get
* tired of standing around
* too, pal!
*
********************************************
***Examine path to the left*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective Gumshoe, what's
* down the path to the left?
*
* -Phoenix
* It looks like a tree
* fell down over the path...?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, yeah. That way's kind
* of dangerous. You should
* stay out, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* There's nothing down
* there, anyway.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's where Studio Two
* used to be, they tell me.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They don't use it now, though.
*
********************************************
***Examine mascot***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The studio mascot.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess it's a monkey
* of some kind.
*
* -Phoenix
* But what kind of monkey has
* a nose like that?
*
* -Phoenix
* He's holding a sign
* in his hand.
*
* -Phoenix
* [Right: To Studio One
* Left: To Studio Two]
*
* -Maya
* What's up with that
* thing!? It looks
* kind of... busted.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, the wind was pretty
* strong yesterday, and
* the head broke off.
*
* -Gumshoe
* It took that tree down
* with it, too.
*
********************************************
***Examine camera***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, there's a
* camera here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's the security camera.
* It takes photos of people
* going to the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* All you have to do is look
* at the data and you can see
* who went where!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a number plate
* on the camera... [ST1-307].
*
* -Phoenix
* That must be the
* camera ID number.
*
********************************************
***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -Phoenix
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the studio where they
* found Jack Hammer's body.
*
* -Maya
* Let's go in and check
* it out, Nick!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Hey! It's locked!
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like you need a
* cardkey to get in.
*
* -Phoenx
* It makes sense that they
* would want to keep the
* non-employees out.
*
********************************************
***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective, see this?
* This is my attorney's badge.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Uh huh?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Don'tcha think it's a little
* sad when you have to explain
* what your badge means, pal?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Real men show their P.D.
* badge and that's that!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'll admit the design of
* my badge leaves a lot to
* be desired...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe it should just be
* a big "L" for "Lawyer"?
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm... I'm not so
* sure about that.
*
********************************************
***Present other****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, Detective.
* Any ideas about this?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Look, I don't got time to
* look at every little trinket
* you got, okay pal?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* So, how is your investigation
* going, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, it's... Hey! I can't
* tell you that, pal.
*
* -Maya
* Nick...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe you need to be a little
* more indirect with your
* questions?
*
* -Phoenix
* Right.
* So, Detective, mind if I take
* a look at what you got?
*
* -Gumshoe
* What I got?
*
* -Phoenix
* The autopsy report!
* The latest version, if
* you please...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm... right, right.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry about what happened
* last time, pal.
*
* Autopsy Report added to
* the Court Record.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation" again*****
*
* -Phoenix
* So, how is your investigation
* going, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm not at liberty to give
* you any more information, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You'll hear all you
* need to know in court!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Oh well, it was
* worth a try.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for arrest"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* Why was Mr. Powers arrested?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Simple, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* The murder took place right
* over there in Studio One.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Now, the victim entered
* Studio One at approximately
* 1:00 PM.
*
* -Gumshoe
* At that time, there was no
* one other than the victim
* in the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* According to the autopsy report,
* the time of death was 2:30 PM.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Only one person went to the
* studio between 1:00 and 2:30!
*
* -Gumshoe
* And that person was none
* other than Will Powers!
*
* -Gumshoe
* No one else, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* If you think I'm lying,
* ask the security lady
* at the main gate.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! If that's true...!
*
* -Maya
* Anyone would think that
* Powers did it with that
* kind of evidence!
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks for cheering me up...
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The Security Lady"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* About the security lady...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, that sweet old lady.
* What a charmer!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
* A-are we talking about
* the same person?
*
* -Gumshoe
* When I showed her my badge
* she gave me a donut and
* some coffee!
*
* -Maya
* Remember what Powers said.
* She's a sucker for authority.
*
* -Gumshoe
* She even gave me a piece
* of valuable evidence!
*
* -Maya
* Whaat!?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Decisive evidence"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* What kind of evidence!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, that, er, photo.
*
* -Gumshoe
* The photo of the Steel Samurai
* heading toward the scene
* of the crime!
*
* -Maya
* What!
* Who took that!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* See the camera up
* on that gate, pal?
*
* -Maya
* The gate? You mean the
* one with the welcome sign?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah. Whenever someone walks
* by, that camera automatically
* snaps a photo of them!
*
* -Maya
* Oh no!
*
* -Maya
* Nick, he has evidence!
* We're finished!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Funny, for someone with
* hard proof he doesn't look
* too happy.)
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Gumshoe
What's wrong, pal?
You seem down.
-Phoenix
Don't look so happy
when you say that.
-Gumshoe
Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!
-Maya
Umm...
-Maya
We'd like to ask the employees
here some questions...
-Gumshoe
Sure thing, pal.
-Gumshoe
Go wherever you like.
-Gumshoe
Of course, you're not going
to find any clues I haven't
already found! Hah hah hah!
-Phoenix
(I'm glad someone around
here seems to be enjoying
themselves.)
-Maya
Nick, let's go!
-Maya
We've got a free pass to
the place. Now's our chance
to check things out!
MOVE TO: Studio - Main Gate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
Nick! Look!
-Maya
That security lady is in the
guard station stuffing her
face with donuts!
-Maya
I guess all cops like
their donuts!
-Phoenix
Yeah, and they're soft
enough she doesn't need
teeth to chew them...
-Oldbag
Hey, you!
-Oldbag
Well? Are you satisfied
Powers is guilty yet?
-Phoenix
(Urk!)
-Phoenix
(She had to make my life
harder by giving that photo
to Detective Gumshoe...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********
*
* -Phoenix
* Why didn't you tell
* us about the security
* photo, ma'am?
*
* -Oldbag
* Hmm? Oh, that?
*
* -Oldbag
* I just thought it would be
* more thrilling to talk
* with the detective himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* These things are important,
* you know.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, just to the left from
* here is the gate with the
* camera that took that photo.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's my job to check the
* photos every day, you see.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -Oldbag
* This guard station is in a
* central position.
*
* -Oldbag
* No matter where you go here,
* you pass by my station first!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now poor Hammer, he went to
* the studio just before 1:00.
*
* -Oldbag
* The murder happened right
* around 2:30, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* The only one I seen go through
* here between 1:00 and 2:30
* was Powers himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* The security camera got
* a good look at him too.
*
* -Oldbag
* If he's not the one what
* did it, I don't know who is!
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe... it was you?
*
* -Oldbag
* Gyah hah ha hah!
* Good one, sonny.
*
* -Phoenix
* (She thinks I was joking.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Was the victim, Mr. Hammer,
* a popular actor?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, he was the biggest
* star in the studio!
*
* -Phoenix
* ("Was"? Past tense?)
*
* -Maya
* Oh yes! He was great as
* the "Bearded Samurai"!
*
* -Oldbag
* That too, yes.
*
* -Oldbag
* He shone the brightest!
* Back in the day.
*
* -Oldbag
* Making a star like him play
* the "Evil Magistrate"...
* It's a disgrace, I tell you!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer took it pretty hard,
* and who can blame him?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Automatic camera"************
*
* -Phoenix
* About the security camera...
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh yes, the camera.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's automatic. It can tell
* when someone walks through
* that gate, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* Then it snaps a photo!
*
* -Oldbag
* Apparently, it records the
* time when it takes a picture
* too.
*
* -Oldbag
* But I don't bother myself
* with those details.
*
* -Oldbag
* I just view all the photos
* on the computer over in the
* security guard station.
*
* -Oldbag
* I check 'em every day before
* going home, I do.

But now there's a photo

Don't look at me!
How should I know?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "What to do"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you think?
*
* -Maya
* That photo the detective was
* talking about is the problem
* here.
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, that's hard to say,
* without seeing the actual
* photo ourselves.
*
* -Phoenix
* But if it is Powers in that
* photo, his alibi is shot.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********
*
* -Phoenix
* Only one person went to the

* the murder took place.
*
* -Phoenix
* And there's a photograph
* to prove it.
*
* -Maya
* I guess it makes sense
* that that person is the

*
* -Maya
* What do we do, Nick?
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe there was someone else
* who could have gone to the
* scene other than Powers?
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's take a look.
*

* -Maya
* Not Olde Tokyo, Nick!
* "Neo" Olde Tokyo!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh.
* Right.
*
********************************************
***Examine white board**********************
*
* -Maya
* What's this?
*
* -Pheonix
* That's for reflecting light.
* They call it a reflecting
* screen or something like that.
*
* -Phoenix
* The assistant holds it
* during filming.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
*
* -Phoenix
* What? Where's your
* enthusiasm for all
* things entertainment?
*
* -Maya
* Well, lighting is fine, but
* I'd want to be the director.
* Or maybe the Steel Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think she's being
* serious...!)
*
********************************************
***Examine director's chair*****************
*
* -Maya
* Hey! Look! That's the chair
* the director sits in!
*
* -Maya
* I've always wanted to
* sit in one of these.
*
* -Maya
* Hey Nick, take a
* look at that.
*
* -Maya
* One of those black-and-white
* boards they clap at the start
* of filming!
*
* -Maya
* And look! A megaphone!
* A real live megaphone!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Ready, Nick?
* Action!
*
* -Phoenix
* (This girl is more
* troubled than I thought...)
*
********************************************
***Examine ladder***************************
*
* -Maya
* Look, a ladder!
*
* -Phoenix
* That's a "step"-ladder.
*
* -Maya
* So? What's the difference?
*
* -Maya
* You need to stop judging
* things based on narrow-minded
* cultural assumptions, Nick!
*
* -Phoenix
* R-right... sorry.
* (This girl is OUT there!)
*
********************************************
***Examine body outline*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* They outlined where Jack
* Hammer's body lay with tape.
*
* -Phoenix
* His body was found still
* inside the Evil Magistrate
* costume.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess that's why the head
* part looks like a helmet.
*
* -Phoenix
* Funny, I expected a spear
* stabbing would leave at
* least a few bloodstains.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess the costume must
* have absorbed most of it...
*
********************************************
***Examine cameras**************************
*
* -Maya
* Wow, look at that camera!
* That must cost a ton!
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah! So don't touch it!
*
* -Maya
* Whoa! It's heavier
* than I thought...
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -???
* Hey! You!
* No touching that!
*
* -Phoenix
* Ah, um, sorry, my partner
* is kind of, y'know...
*
* -Maya
* "Y'know"!? No I don't know!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... who are you?
*
* -Penny
* Who me? I'm an assistant here.
*
* -Penny
* I help with props and stuff.
* Moving them around, ordering
* new ones, et cetera.
*
* -Maya
* We're lawyers representing
* Mr. Will Powers.
*
* -Penny
* Oh, you're WP's people.
*
* -Maya
* "WP"...? Oh, Will Powers.
* W.P., I get it.
*
* -Penny
* I don't envy you guys one bit!
*
* -Penny
* But... do what you can for
* WP, okay?
*
* -Penny
* He'd never hurt a fly!
* He has to be innocent.
*
* -Maya
* Don't worry, leave it to us!
*
********************************************
***Present anything*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, any thoughts about this?
*
* -Penny
* Sorry...
*
* -Penny
* I... don't really want
* to think too much about
* what happened just yet.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The day of the crime"********
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell me anything
* about the day of the murder?
*
* -Penny
* Yes. I was in the studio
* the whole day.
*
* -Penny
* I was the only assistant
* on staff that day, you see.
*
* -Maya
* Only one assistant!?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, well, the studios aren't
* doing so well right now.
*
* -Penny
* And yesterday was only
* rehearsal for our action
* sequences.
*
* -Maya
* I see. Neat!
*
* -Penny
* In the morning we went through
* the action sequences in the
* employee area.
*
* -Penny
* WP and Hammer were there,
* along with everyone else.
*
* -Phoenix
* The employee area--that's
* where Powers's dressing
* room is, right?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, that's the place.
*
* -Penny
* After eating lunch there,
* Mr. Hammer went to Studio One.
*
* -Penny
* Then I saw WP go into
* his dressing room.
*
* -Penny
* But I didn't see either
* of them after that.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Will Powers******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Did you know that Mr. Powers
* was sleeping in his room?
*
* -Penny
* No! I wouldn't go in there
* unless I had some urgent
* message for him...
*
* -Penny
* I mean, it's his private...
* What kind of a girl do
* you think I am!?
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what kind...? No, no, I'm
* sure you're a fine girl.
* Um, sorry.
*
* -Phoenix
* (So much for getting a
* confirmation of Powers's
* alibi.)
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Maya
What do we do, Nick?
We haven't found anything.
-Maya
If WP was the only one
who came to the studio...
-Maya
Then he has to be the
killer! They even have
a photograph...
-Phoenix
Hmm...
-Penny
Umm...
-Penny
Sorry... I know
you're busy.
-Phoenix
Not really.
-Penny
Actually, there's been
something bothering me.
-Maya
Ah hah!
-Maya
That's what I'm talking about!
A clue! A lead!
-Penny
Well, I don't know about that,
but that day, just after noon,
I sensed someone was here...
-Phoenix
You "sensed"?
-Penny
Yes, several times.
-Phoenix
Some other studio employees,
maybe?
-Penny
No, I don't think so.
-Penny
The only thing we had
scheduled was an action
scene run-through.
-Penny
I was the only assistant
here that day.
-Penny
I have a feeling it was
someone from... outside.
-Phoenix
R-really!?
-Maya
But wait, if someone
had come in here...
-Maya
Wouldn't that security
lady have noticed them?
-Phoenix
Yeah, you're right.
-Penny
I'm sorry I don't have
any better information
than that.
-Maya
No, thanks! That helps
us a lot. Anything helps.
-Maya
Let's go put that security
lady on the spot!
***Talk about "Sensing someone"*************
*
* -Phoenix
* So you sensed that someone
* other than the regular
* film crew was in the studio?
*
* -Penny
* Yes... I think.
*
* -Phoenix
* ("I think" doesn't cut it
* in a witness testimony.)
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
* What about that security lady!
*
* -Maya
* If someone else came into
* the studio, she must have
* seen them!

*
* -Phoenix
* I wanted to ask you again

*
* -Phoenix
* You came here at 1:00 PM,

*
* -Phoenix
* And the estimated time of
* Hammer's death was 2:30.
*
* -Phoenix
* Are you sure that Powers

*
* -Oldbag
* Sure as can be!

* Uh... um, we were just

* All you young'uns are like

Hey, hey, Nick!

Can't we use this photo

Yeah.

We'll put that security

-Phoenix
Right, we'll put her in her
place...
-Maya
Hey, that's what I said!
Anyway...
-Maya
Let's show her this photo
and see what she says!
-Phoenix
Wait. Let's not.
-Maya
Why not?
-Phoenix
It's never a good idea to
reveal your hand to the
enemy too soon.
-Maya
Nick! You're craftier than
I gave you credit for.
-Maya
Why, you could be the next...
Evil Magistrate!
-Phoenix
Hey! Why do I have
to be the villain.
-Maya
Relax, it was just a joke!
So, are we done for today?
-Phoenix
I think this photo is
what we needed for the
trial.
-Phoenix
Still, it'd be better if we
had some idea who the real
killer was!
-Phoenix
Maybe it really is
that security lady...?

|EPISODE 3 - TURNABOUT SAMURAI|
|DAY 2 - TRIAL |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 18, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Will Powers.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution will show the
court that at 2:30 PM
on October 15, the defendant,
-Edgeworth
Mr. Will Powers, killed
fellow actor Jack Hammer at
Studio One of Global Studios.
-Edgeworth
It is impossible for anyone
else to have committed this
heinous crime.
-Edgeworth
The evidence presented
during the trial will all
point to this fact.
-Judge
Hmm. I see.
-Judge
Very well, I would like to
move on to your testimony.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, the prosecution
may call its first witness.
-Edgeworth
First, I would like to call
a familiar face, Detective
Gumshoe, to the stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Detective, if you would
briefly describe this case
to the court?
-Gumshoe
Yes sir!
I'll explain with the
guidemap here.
RETURN HERE FROM BELOW
-Gumshoe
To understand this case, it's
important to grasp the layout
of the studios, see?
-Gumshoe
This here is the Employee
Area.
-Gumshoe
The actors did a run-through
of their action scenes during
the morning here.
-Gumshoe
This is the main gate to the
studios.
-Gumshoe
The security lady that works
at the studios was here at
1:00 PM on that day.
-Gumshoe
Past the security station
there is a gate, see?
-Gumshoe
Past that are the studios.
-Gumshoe
And here it is...
Studio One.
-Gumshoe
This is the scene of the
murder, where the body
was found!
-Gumshoe
Now, on the day of the
murder, October 15, there
were only three people here.
Gumshoe
The victim, Jack Hammer,
-Gumshoe
the defendant, Will Powers,
-Gumshoe
and a young woman, the
production assistant.
-Gumshoe
All the production staff
were in the Employee Area
until noon.
-Gumshoe
Then after lunch, the victim,
Jack Hammer, went to
Studio One.
-Gumshoe
Right after that, at 1:00 PM,
the security lady got to the
guard station.
-Gumshoe
Now, jump ahead to later
that day... 5:00 PM.
-Gumshoe
The production staff came
to Studio One to perform a
rehearsal.
-Gumshoe
Needless to say, the rehearsal
was cancelled...
-Gumshoe
The time of death was
2:30 PM.
-Gumshoe
The "Samurai Spear" found
lodged in the victim's chest
was the murder weapon.
-Gumshoe
That's the case, in brief.
-Gumshoe
Anyone like to hear
that again?
-Phoenix
(Hmm... should I listen to
that whole thing again...?)
***Skip it**********************************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Listen again*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm sorry, could you describe
* that one more time?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I shoulda known it would
* be you, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Fine. Once more for the
* mentally-challenged lawyer.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Yeah, yeah. Live it up
* while you can, Gumshoe.)
*
* RETURN TO RETURN POINT (LABELED ABOVE)
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
(I think I can probably
remember that...)
-Judge
So the murder weapon
was a "spear"?
-Judge
How... medieval!
Samurai Spear added
to the Court Record.
-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
This case is quite simple
if you ask one question:
-Edgeworth
And that question is:
-Edgeworth
"What did the security lady
at the guard station see?"
-Judge
Understood.
-Edgeworth
Let's call this security
officer to the stand!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Will the witness declare
her name?
-Oldbag
...
-Oldbag
Hmm?
-Oldbag
My, aren't you
a handsome fellow!
-Oldbag
I'm afraid I'm a bit
flustered!
-Edgeworth
Y-your name, please!
-Oldbag
Oh, dearie! No need for
you to be embarrassed!
Just call me "grandma."
-Edgeworth
YOUR NAME, PLEASE!
-Phoenix
(Seems Edgeworth has a bit of
trouble getting his witnesses
to say their names...)
-Oldbag
Wendy Oldbag, dearie.
-Oldbag
So just call me "grandma."
It's practically my name!
-Oldbag
So even when I was young I
was an Oldbag, but not really
that was just my name dearie.
-Oldbag
Still how the other children
would make fun of me and just
because of my name can you
-Oldbag
believe it? But there was this
boy, the captain of the chess
club in junior high, and when
-Oldbag
he called me an old bag well
I just cried and cried because
I had a crush on him you see--
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
O-objection! I... object to
the witness's talkativeness.
-Judge
Objection sustained!
-Judge
The witness will refrain
from rambling on the stand.
-Oldbag
I was just getting to
the good part, dearie!
-Edgeworth
Perhaps we can get to the
testimony?
-Judge
Now, the witness was stationed
at the main gate on the day
of the murder, correct?
-Oldbag
Yessey I was.
-Judge
And to get to the scene of
the murder, someone would
have to pass by you?
-Oldbag
You know your stuff, dearie!
-Judge
...
-Judge
You may begin your testimony.
-Phoenix
(She sure is one hell of
an Oldbag...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at 1:00 PM.
(2)
-Oldbag
Poor old Hammer and the rest
had been doing a run-through
there since the morning.
(3)
-Oldbag
I, well, I had some errands
to run that morning.
(4)
-Oldbag
Anyway, it was 1:00 when
I got to the guard station.
(5)
-Oldbag
I was at the main gate
from then until 5:00!
(6)
-Oldbag
Now, the murder happened
at 2:30 PM, right?
(7)
-Oldbag
Interesting to me, because a
certain man walked right by
me at 2:00 PM.
(8)
-Oldbag
It was Powers!
That man right there, and he
was heading toward the studio!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
You saw the defendant, then?
Hmm...
-Judge
Very well. Let's begin the
cross-examination. Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at 1:00 PM.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So up until that time,
anyone who wanted to
could go into the studio?
-Oldbag
Well, there wasn't a security
guard at the gate, no.
-Oldbag
But the main gate
was locked, dearie.
-Oldbag
You'd need an employee
cardkey to get in.
-Phoenix
(Right... the cardkey
that I have.)
-Phoenix
(So, what she's saying is
no one who wasn't supposed
to be there could get in.)
-Edgeworth
Was there anyone at the
studios when you arrived
at the guard station?
(2)
-Oldbag
Poor old Hammer and the rest
had been doing a run-through
there since the morning.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A "run-through"...?
-Oldbag
They were working out a scene
between the Steel Samurai
and the Evil Magistrate.
-Oldbag
They got the basics figured
out by noon, and were to use
the afternoon for practice.
-Oldbag
Rehearsal was supposed
to start at 5:00.
-Oldbag
That's why poor old Hammer
went to Studio One in the
afternoon.
-Phoenix
(So Powers was in his dressing
room sleeping... when he was
supposed to be practicing!)
-Phoenix
(Talk about a laid-back
hero...)
-Edgeworth
If there was a run-through in
the morning, why did you
only get there after noon?
(3)
-Oldbag
I, well, I had some errands
to run that morning.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What kind of "errands"?
-Oldbag
Oh, well, you know.
-Phoenix
Answer the question!
-Oldbag
Actually... I was watching
poor Hammer and Powers.
Observing, you know?
-Phoenix
O-observing?
Weren't you supposed to
be at the guard station?
-Oldbag
Whippersnapper! I told you
I locked the gate, didn't I?
I did my job!
-Phoenix
(I'm not sure your boss
would see it that way...)
-Oldbag
Anyway!
-Oldbag
I always watch Hammer's
run-throughts. Always!
-Oldbag
Never missed one
in all my years.
-Maya
Wow! I want to see a Steel
Samurai run-through too!
-Phoenix
You could quit being a spirit
medium and take up guard duty.
-Maya
Not a bad idea...
(4)
-Oldbag
Anyway, it was 1:00 when
I got to the guard station.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Did you see the victim then?
-Oldbag
Did I see poor old Hammer?
Nope.
-Oldbag
He'd already gone to the
studio before I got back
to the guard station.
-Edgeworth
Tell us what happened next.
(5)
-Oldbag
I was at the main gate
from then until 5:00!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you were watching there
the WHOLE time? No breaks?
Not even a second?
-Oldbag
O-of course!
I am a professional, you know!
-Oldbag
Our are you criticizing how
I do my job!? Whippersnapper!
-Phoenix
No, it's just, after seeing
you eating those donuts in
the guard station yesterday...
-Oldbag
I can watch the gate and eat
donuts at the same time!
-Oldbag
Snipperwhapper!
-Maya
"Snipperwhapper"...?
-Maya
Old windbag is losing
it, Nick.
-Phoenix
Why don't you raise an
objection?
-Judge
So, the witness was on duty
through the afternoon,
the whole time. Very well.
-Judge
What did you see?
(6)
-Oldbag
Now, the murder happened
at 2:30 PM, right?
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How did you know that?
-Oldbag
Oh hoh hoh. I have my ways!
That over-dressed young
detective told me.
-Oldbag
I fed him some donuts and
he talked and talked...
-Oldbag
If you ask me, that detective
isn't cut out for his job.
-Edgeworth
...
-Phoenix
(Poor Detective Gumshoe,
getting chewed out by a
security guard...)
(7)
-Oldbag
Interesting to me, because a
certain man walked right by
me at 2:00 PM.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
2:00? You're sure?
-Oldbag
Sure as spit!
-Judge
Well, who was the man!?
-Oldbag
Really, you should try not to
get so excited at your age.
You might strain something.
-Judge
...
-Oldbag
Now, now, don't get your
skivvies all in a bunch.
I'll tell you who it was!
(8)
-Oldbag
It was Powers!
That man right there, and he
was heading toward the studio!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you saw Mr. Powers?
-Oldbag
That's what I said!
Got wax in your ears, sonny?
-Maya
Nick, this is your chance!
-Phoenix
Yeah, time to pull out
the secret weapon...
-Oldbag
I'll say it again!
It was him!
-Maya
Nick...
-Maya
Doesn't she seem like she's
enjoying this a little too
much?
-Phoenix
Windbags love gossiping about
other people's misfortunes.
-Maya
Ugh. Can't she get her
kicks somewhere else?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Let me get this straight,
old bag! Er, Ms. Oldbag!
-Phoenix
You've been saying since
yesterday that you "saw
Mr. Powers," correct?
-Phoenix
But you're talking about
the man in this photo,
aren't you!
-Judge
J-just a moment,
Mr. Wright.
-Judge
Let me see that photo!
-Judge
...
-Judge
What is this, exactly?
-Phoenix
None other than the Steel
Samurai, defender of
Neo Olde Tokyo.
-Phoenix
Ms. Oldbag!
-Phoenix
Is this the "Mr. Powers"
that you saw!?
-Oldbag
Of course! Didn't your momma
teach you any sense, sonny?
-Oldbag
Anyone can plainly see
that's Powers! Right?
-Edgeworth
Um, yeah.
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
Umm... well.
I wonder?
-Phoenix
True, Mr. Powers does play
the role of the Steel Samurai!
-Phoenix
But that doesn't mean Mr.
Powers IS the Steel Samurai!
-Oldbag
...!
-Oldbag
I... I know that!
I wasn't born yesterday!
-Judge
No one in this court is
accusing you of that,
Ms... er, witness.
-Phoenix
(He's having trouble calling
her "Oldbag" apparently...)
-Judge
However, you do not have proof
that the person in this photo
is Mr. Will Powers, do you?
-Oldbag
Humph!
Nosy old man!
-Oldbag
Of course I have proof!
-Phoenix
What!?
-Edgeworth
Huh!?
-Phoenix
(Even Edgeworth is
surprised!?)
-Edgeworth
The prosecution would like
to ask the old... the witness.
-Edgeworth
Please make known all the
information in your
possession ahead of time!
-Oldbag
How was I to know everyone
would be so nosy! You should
be ashamed, all of you!
-Oldbag
Anyway, I showed that photo
to the young detective.
-Oldbag
He told me "this isn't any
good as evidence, pal."
-Oldbag
He didn't even give it
a second look!
-Edgeworth
...
-Phoenix
(Wow, old windbag has left
even Edgeworth speechless.
She's good!)
-Judge
Let's hear about your
proof, then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
--The Man in the Photo--
(1)
-Oldbag
I never say anything
I don't mean, mind you!
(2)
-Oldbag
That morning, during the
run-through of the action
scene...
(3)
-Oldbag
I saw Powers trip and fall!
(4)
-Oldbag
He broke one of the props,
it was a big mess.
(5)
-Oldbag
Apparently, he sprained
his ankle pretty bad.
-Oldbag
Now, look at that picture!
(6)
-Oldbag
You can see he's dragging
his leg! See? Clear as day!
(7)
-Oldbag
That's how I knew it
was Powers. Happy?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm. So he had sprained
his ankle...?
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright, you
may cross-examine the witness.
-Phoenix
(She's got to be hiding
something... I'll press
her until she squeals.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
--The Man in the Photo--
(1)
-Oldbag
I never say anything
I don't mean, mind you!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Umm...
-Oldbag
Whippersnapper!
-Phoenix
(Hey, I haven't said
anything yet!)
-Oldbag
I'll have you know I'm not
pointing fingers at anyone
behind their backs!
-Oldbag
Everything I've said is on
the straight and narrow!
The up and up!
-Oldbag
Youth today! Always whining
about each other, pointing
fingers this way and that!
-Oldbag
It's enough to make an old
lady want to cry...
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright!
-Edgeworth
Please, for all our sakes,
try not to upset the witness!
-Phoenix
(I think Edgeworth has
met his match...)
(2)
-Oldbag
That morning, during the
run-through of the action
scene...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Who was present at
the run-through?
-Oldbag
Well, let's see...
There was Powers, he's
the Steel Samurai...
-Oldbag
Then poor old Hammer,
the Evil Magistrate.
-Oldbag
And... me.
-Judge
And what exactly were you
doing?
-Oldbag
Observing! Just... observing.
-Phoenix
What about the assistant?
-Oldbag
Oh, she was off moving
backdrops around and such.
-Phoenix
(So she didn't see the
run-through, then...)
(3)
-Oldbag
I saw Powers trip and fall!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Trip and fall"...?
-Oldbag
Yes! And to think, he's
supposed to be the Steel
Samurai! What a laugh!
-Oldbag
So Powers sprained
his ankle.
-Oldbag
I helped make it better
for him, of course.
-Judge
You... helped make it better?
-Oldbag
I kissed it where it hurt.
-Judge
L-let's just skip over
that part, shall we?
-Phoenix
Where was the assistant then?
-Oldbag
Oh, her? She was cleaning
up backdrops, I think.
-Oldbag
She didn't know about
Powers's ankle.
-Phoenix
(Hmm...)
-Edgeworth
You may continue your
testimony.
(4)
-Oldbag
He broke one of the props,
it was a big mess.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
He broke a prop?
-Oldbag
Sure did!
His own Samurai Spear.
-Phoenix
(His Samurai Spear...
the murder weapon!?)
-Oldbag
Luckily I was there with
my duct tape to fix it.
-Phoenix
(This strikes me as a
significant detail...)
CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
-Phoenix
(I'd better write this
down in the Court Record.)
Samurai Spear updated
in the Court Record.
(5)
-Oldbag
Apparently, he sprained
his ankle pretty bad.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Was Mr. Power's ankle
badly sprained?
-Oldbag
Not so bad that he
couldn't walk around.
-Oldbag
He went to his dressing
room to rest up after
lunch.
-Phoenix
(Thus the nap...)
-Oldbag
Anyway, I saw him dragging
his foot when he walked.
-Phoenix
(Dragging his foot... okay.)
(6)
-Oldbag
You can see he's dragging
his leg! See? Clear as day!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you absolutely sure?
(Let's take a look at
that picture again...)
-Phoenix
(Hmm... so he was walking
strangely because he was
injured...)
-Judge
Hmm. It does look like
he was dragging his foot.
-Oldbag
See! And you didn't trust
me! Whippersnapper!
(7)
-Oldbag
That's how I knew it
was Powers. Happy?
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Still, you can't look at
this and say it's Mr. Powers!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Yes, but only Mr. Powers
would have been dragging
his leg!
-Judge
He has a point. It does seem
quite likely that it was
Powers.
-Phoenix
(There's got to be more to
this. I'd better keep
pressing her.)
-Maya
Well, Nick? Find any
glaring contradictions?
-Phoenix
Well, she seems pretty
sure that was Powers in
that photo...
-Phoenix
I guess I'll just press
her and see if I can
shake her conviction...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER PRESSING FOR A WHILE
-Edgeworth
I think we've heard enough!
-Edgeworth
Haven't we, Your Honor?
-Judge
Well, there is one thing
that bothers me.
-Edgeworth
Which is?
-Judge
Where is this "Steel Samurai"
costume now?
-Edgeworth
Umm... hmm.
-Edgeworth
Actually, well...
We couldn't find it.
-Edgeworth
We're looking, though.
-Judge
Hmm...
-Edgeworth
Anyway, that's not important!
-Edgeworth
The witness did see
the Steel Samurai, yes.
-Edgeworth
And it is clear that the
person in the Steel Samurai
suit was Mr. Will Powers!
-Judge
Hmm... I suppose that's right.
-Phoenix
(Are you sure you're
sure, Your Honor?)
***Object***********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Hold it right there!
*
* -Phoenix
* We keep talking possibilities,

*

*

*
* -Judge
* I also wonder if someone else

*
********************************************
***Wait and see what happens****************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think I'll wait and

*
* -Judge
* I suppose, since there weren't

*
* -Judge
* It's quite likely that it

*
* -Judge

* -Edgeworth

* -Phoenix

-Edgeworth
Will the witness continue
her testimony, please?
-Oldbag
No need to ask twice!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account, cont.--
(1)
-Oldbag
The time of poor Hammer's
death was 2:30 PM, true?
(2)
-Oldbag
The only person I saw go
to the studio before then
was Will Powers!
(3)
-Oldbag
No one else went there!
(4)
-Oldbag
If they had, I would have
seen them!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
So, if no one else went
to the studio...
-Judge
Then it would have to be this
"Steel Samurai" who did it.
-Judge
Mr. Wright, you may cross-
examine the witness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account, cont.--
(1)
-Oldbag
The time of poor Hammer's
death was 2:30 PM, true?
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How do you know that?
-Oldbag
Eh? Didn't I just
explain?
-Oldbag
I gave donuts to the
young detective.
-Oldbag
And the, after some rubbish
about it being a "secret, pal"
he told me everything.
-Phoenix
(I see Detective Gumshoe
shares his fellow officer's
fondness for donuts.)
(2)
-Oldbag
The only person I saw go
to the studio before then
was Will Powers!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you absolutely sure!?
-Oldbag
Oh, quite, quite, sonny.
Nobody suspicious lookin'
passed by at all.
-Phoenix
(Nobody suspicious lookin'...
Right.)
(3)
-Oldbag
No one else went there!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What about before you
got to the guard station?
-Oldbag
You mean before 1:00?
-Oldbag
Why, everyone was in the
Employee Area before then.
-Oldbag
And I locked the main gate
so no one could get in.
-Oldbag
Not to mention...
(4)
-Oldbag
If they had, I would have
seen them!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure!?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The witness has answered
the question!
-Edgeworth
Anyone going into the studio
had to pass by the witness!
-Oldbag
That's right, sonny!
-Oldbag
You let 'em have
it, Edgey-boy!
-Phoenix
(E-Edgey-boy...?)
-Edgeworth
...
-Maya
Old windbag sure has
balls! Or... well, you
know what I mean.
-Phoenix
Old windbags have a way of
skipping over important
details, after all...
-Phoenix
Or, for that matter,
entirely forgetting them.
-Maya
How convenient.
-Phoenix
(Something for you to
look forward to, perhaps?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Hold on!
-Phoenix
Look at this photograph
one more time.
-Phoenix
This photo was taken by
the camera at the gate
for the studios, correct?
-Oldbag
Yesiree, sonny.
-Phoenix
So, whenever anyone passes
by here, it automatically
takes a picture?
-Oldbag
And here I thought you didn't
know your head from a hole
in the ground.
-Phoenix
Right...
Anyway!
-Phoenix
It's also true that the
computer in the guard station
records all security cam data.
-Oldbag
Ooh! You know, if you wanted
to work at the studio, we
might have an opening.
-Phoenix
That very computer printed
out this photo.
-Phoenix
Note that on the back of the
photo are printed the words:
[Oct 15, 2:00 PM, Photo #2]
-Oldbag
Even I know that means it was
taken at 2:00 PM on October
the 15th! Really, sonny!
-Phoenix
Actually, I knew that too.
-Phoenix
The issure here is the bit
at the end where it says:
"Photo #2"...
-Oldbag
"Photo #2"...?
-Phoenix
The computer only held
data for one photo on
that day.
-Phoenix
Don't you think that's odd?
-Phoenix
Shouldn't this photo be
"Photo #1" if it really
was the ONLY photo!?
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Judge
Please tell the court what
you mean by this, Mr. Wright!
-Phoenix
Actually, that's what I
want to ask the witness.
-Phoenix
This evidence shows that
not one, but two people
went to the studio that day.
-Phoenix
Yet there is only
data for one of the photos!
-Phoenix
Who could have erased
the data for the other
photo?
-Phoenix
Only someone with access...
the security lady herself!
-Oldbag
Eh!?
-Oldbag
You watch your mouth,
whippersnapper!
-Oldbag
The only person I saw that
day was Will Powers!
-Phoenix
But the camera on the gate
fired twice! That means
two people went by!
-Oldbag
Umm... well, yes... that's
what it would seem to mean...
-Judge
Can the witness explain
this to the court?
-Oldbag
Umm... ahem.
I-I don't understand these
new-fangled computer things...
-Oldbag
Umm... E-Edgey-boy!
Help!
-Edgeworth
Huh!?
-Edgeworth
B-believe me, I want to,
but I don't know what
this means either.
-Oldbag
Humph!
Some help you are!
You're a whippersnapper too!
-Oldbag
...
-Oldbag
...
-Oldbag
Whippersnapper...?
-Judge
Something the matter,
Ms. Oldbag?
-Oldbag
Ah!
That's right!
-Oldbag
I...
I just remembered something!
-Judge
Let me guess...
-Judge
Someone else passed by
the gate... someone other
than the Steel Samurai?
-Oldbag
Er... well, yes, I suppose
you could put it that way.
-Judge
*sigh*
I see.
-Judge
Your testimony, please.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
--The Other Person--
(1)
-Oldbag
Every day, after I finish
my guard duties, I have one
other important job to do.
(2)
-Oldbag
I go through the photos
recorded on the security
computer and check them.
(3)
-Oldbag
I throw out any photos
that aren't suspicious
lookin', you see.
(4)
-Oldbag
Come to think of it, now
I remember throwing out
one photo that day!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
M-Ms. Oldbag!
This is the first I've
heard of this!
-Oldbag
Well, of course, sonny!
I've only just remembered it.
-Judge
Right... anyway,
Mr. Wright, please begin
the cross-examination.
-Maya
Well, I'd say this was a turn
for the unexpected, but I
kind of expected this...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
--The Other Person--
(1)
-Oldbag
Every day, after I finish
my guard duties, I have one
other important job to do.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Another "job"?
-Oldbag
T-that's right. I check all
the people that passed by
the main gate that day.
-Oldbag
I look closely at every one
of the photos that security
camera takes.
-Edgeworth
Do you backup all of the
security camera data?
-Oldbag
Well, they keep telling
me too, yes.
-Oldbag
But those computers are
just so frustrating.
(2)
-Oldbag
I go through the photos
recorded on the security
computer and check them.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How many photos are there,
usually?
-Oldbag
On a day when we're open to
the public, we get more than
500 people.
-Oldbag
But on filming days
or rehearsal days... well,
we don't have much money.
-Oldbag
We never get mroe than
50, and that's a big day.
-Edgeworth
Do you backup all of the
security camera data?
-Oldbag
Well, they keep telling
me too, yes.
-Oldbag
But those computers are
just so frustrating.
(3)
-Oldbag
I throw out any photos
that aren't suspicious
lookin', you see.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How exactly do you determine
what isn't "suspicious
lookin'"?
-Oldbag
Oh, you can tell by looking
at their faces. For the
most part.
-Phoenix
F-for the most part?
-Phoenix
This is a murder trial,
Ms. Oldbag!
-Oldbag
Well, I didn't touch that
suspicious lookin'
Will Powers's photo, did I?
-Phoenix
(I think she's missing
the point.)
(4)
-Oldbag
Come to think of it, now
I remember throwing out
one photo that day!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Well, who in the heck was
in that photo you erased!?
-Oldbag
Humph.
A fanboy.
-Phoenix
F-fanboy?
-Oldbag
Steel Samurai fanboys.
Real freaks, if you ask me.
-Oldbag
They get information about
the rehearsals from gosh-
knows-where.
-Oldbag
They're always hanging about.
One was there that day.
END CROSS-EXAMINATION
-Maya
"Come to think of it"?
Couldn't she think of that
a little earlier!?
-Phoenix
Classic old windbag
maneuver, Maya.
-Maya
Hmm...
-Maya
Might be a useful tactic
to remember for use in my
future career as a windbag.
-Phoenix
(Let's find out more about
this "erased" photo.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
W-wait a second!
Didn't you just say no one
else could get in!?
-Phoenix
"I locked the main gate
so no one could get in"...
Those were your words!
-Oldbag
Well!
-Oldbag
If you must know, there's
a drain that goes into the
Employee Area.
-Oldbag
The grate has been loose
for a while.
-Oldbag
It leads outside, and well,
that's where they come in.
-Phoenix
They come in through
the drain?
-Oldbag
I told you they were freaks.
-Oldbag
Oh, and...
-Phoenix
And...?
-Oldbag
They're kids.
Children.
Whippersnappers.
-Phoenix
K-kids!?
-Phoenix
So, on the photo that
you erased...?
-Oldbag
It was a boy.
Probably 2nd or 3rd grade.
-Phoenix
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?
-Judge
O-order! Order!
-Judge
Let me get this straight.
-Judge
You saw two people pass
by the gate on their way
to the studios that day?
-Judge
One was the Steel Samurai,
dragging his leg.
-Judge
The other was a boy who
looked to be in about
2nd or 3rd grade?
-Oldbag
Oh yes, well we see his
type there every day.
-Oldbag
Can't stop 'em.
Can't catch 'em.
-Edgeworth
A boy in 2nd or 3rd grade?
Hmm...
-Edgeworth
I assume it would be hard, if
not impossible for a young boy
to wield the Samurai Spear?
-Judge
Impossible, I'd think.
It's quite heavy.
-Oldbag
Right! As I said, I didn't
pay him much mind.
-Oldbag
That's why I erased the data.
-Maya
Um, Nick?
What's going on?
-Maya
I mean, the boy was there,
that makes him a suspect!
-Phoenix
Yeah, and they're already
trying to "un-suspect" him.
-Judge
I'd like to take a five minute
recess.
-Judge
I want the defense and the
prosecution to consider
this new information...
-Judge
And no forgetting vital
information this time!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 18, 11:08 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3
-Phoenix
Mr. WP?
-Wll
Y-yes?
-Phoenix
Tell me straight: were you
really in your dressing room?
You didn't go to the studio?
-Will
I-I didn't go to the studio!
I was s-sleeping, honest.
-Maya
So who was the "Steel
Samurai" in that security
photo?
-Will
How should I know?
-Will
The Steel Samurai costume
was off in the corner of
the dressing room.
-Will
Anyone could have walked
in and taken it, really.
-Maya
What!?
You should take better
care of that stuff!
-Will
I couldn't imagine anyone
would wnat to steal a
Steel Samurai costume!
-Will
So... where does this
leave me?
-Phoenix
It doesn't look good...
-Will
*sniff*
-Phoenix
You're the only likely
suspect, right now.
-Maya
Nick!
-Maya
W-what are we going to do!?
-Phoenix
First, we play for more time.
-Phoenix
We'll start targeting someone
else that could conceivably
have done this!
-Maya
Right!
-Maya
And it'll take them so long
to shoot us down that we
can get another day!
-Phoenix
Right... but if we pick
the wrong person, we
might lose on the spot.
-Will
You... don't sound very
optimistic.
-Phoenix
I'm not optimistic
at all, actually.
-Maya
Hey, Nick.
It's time.
-Phoenix
Okay. Let's go.
*sigh*
-Will
What does that mean...
Please don't sigh like that!
*sniff*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
The court will now reconvene
for the trial of Mr. Will
Powers.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, will you
present the prosecution's
thoughts on this matter?
-Edgeworth
The prosecution's thoughts
are simple.
-Edgeworth
Nothing has changed.
-Edgeworth
The other person who went
to the studios was a boy
of roughly 10 years of age.
-Edgeworth
The photo we do have may
not be hard evidence...
-Edgeworth
But there is still no one
else that could have committed
this crime!
-Edgeworth
I call for a verdict of
"guilty" for the defendant,
Mr. Will Powers!
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright,
your thoughts?
-Phoenix
The defense disagrees
with the prosecution's
claim.
-Phoenix
There IS another person
who could have committed
this crime!
-Judge
Order!
Interesting...
-Judge
Let us hear who you have
in mind!
However...
-Judge
Be aware that this court
does not look kindly on
accusing the innocent.
-Judge
If you accuse someone who
is obviously innocent, you
will be penalized.
-Phoenix
(Right. Great. As if the
stakes weren't high enough.)
-Judge
So, who was this person
other than Mr. Powers that
could have committed murder?
***The assistant girl***********************

* -Phoenix

* That's correct, Your Honor!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you're serious, you've

*
* -Edgeworth
* Remember the photo?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Wasn't the Steel Samurai
* a little lame!? He was
* dragging his foot!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh.
* (Uh oh. Bad feeling time.)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Remember the testimony
* concerning Powers's injury!!!
*
* -Oldbag
* Powers and poor Hammer
* were at the run-through.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, and me.
*
* -Phoenix
* What about the assistant?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, her? She was cleaning
* up backdrops, I think.
*
* -Oldbag
* She didn't know about
* Powers's ankle.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The assistant knew nothing

*
* -Edgeworth
* She could look the Steel
* Samurai look with that

*
* -Edgeworth
* But she couldn't walk the
* the Steel Samurai walk!
* She wouldn't have limped!
*
* -Phoenix
* Ungh!

*
* -Phoenix

* -Edgeworth
* "Grade-school boy kills

*
* -Edgeworth
* For one thing, it was

***The security lady************************

********************************************
-Phoenix
It was the security lady!
Wendy Oldbag!
-Oldbag
W-who!?
-Phoenix
The Steel Samurai is dragging
his leg in this picture.
-Phoenix
That means whoever was in
the suit knew about that
morning's injury.
-Phoenux
Maybe because... they
had been watching the
action scene run-through!
-Phoenix
There was only one person
other than Powers and Hammer
who knew about the injury.
-Phoenix
The security lady, Oldbag!
-Oldbag
W-what!? Whippersnapper!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Judge
I-is this true, Oldbag!?
-Oldbag
Oldbag!? That's Ms. Oldbag
to you!
-Phoenix
Ms. Oldbag was standing guard
alone at the main gate.
-Phoenix
She was by herself... in other
words, she has no alibi!
-Phoenix
She could have briefly left
her post to steal the
the Steel Samurai costume...
-Phoenix
Then slipped into Studio One,
the scene of the murder!
-Judge
W-why would she go through
the trouble of wearing
the Steel Samurai costume!?
-Phoenix
Simple, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
She knew the camera at the
gate would take her picture.
-Phoenix
If she was in his costume,
she could point the finger
at Mr. Powers!
-Judge
I see!
-Judge
Excellent deductive
reasoning, Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
(Ohhh yeah, right here!
Sherlock Holmes II, baby!)
-Phoenix
...?
-Phoenix
(That's odd.)
-Phoenix
(Isn't this the part where
Edgeworth pounces...?)
-Phoenix
(Doesn't he usually jump up
with an objection and some
new damning evidence...?)
-Judge
Well, Mr. Edgeworth?
Does the prosecution have an
opinion on this matter?
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
The prosecution has no
meaningful objections
at this time.
-Oldbag
W-w-what!?
What's that supposed to mean!?
-Oldbag
Oh, so you all think
I did it? Is that it!?
-Oldbag
Edgey-boy! Don't just sit
there, do something!
-Phoenix
(What's my move?
Maybe now's my chance to
take this the whole way?)
***Press further****************************

***Give granny a break**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I guess this does kind of

* -Phoenix
* (Funny, I feel bad for

*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
*
* -Judge
* It's true that the witness
* could conceivably have
* committed this crime.
*
* -Judge
* Yet we must not forget that
* the victim was an action hero.
*
* -Judge
* As formidable as her

* she'd be strong enough.
*
* -Poenix

********************************************
-Phoenix
The very same reasoning that
makes Mr. Powers a suspect
in this case...
-Phoenix
can be used to cast doubt
on Ms. Oldbag's actions on
that day!
-Oldbag
B-but why would I do something
so horrible to poor Hammer!?
-Phoenix
You forget that Mr. Powers
lacks a clear motive, too.
-Judge
Hmm...
Indeed.
-Phoenix
(That did it. Now windbag
is one of the suspects.)
-Phoenix
(No hard feelings...
I hope.)
-Oldbag
Wait just a minute!
-Oldbag
What about the other person
who went to the studio!?
-Oldbag
The boy! The one whose
photo I erased!
-Judge
He's only a grade schooler
though, as you said.
2nd or 3rd grade, was it?
-Oldbag
Th-that doesn't matter!
-Oldbag
When I was that age, I could
pin my old man in 10 seconds,
tops!
-Judge
Hmm...
Your thoughts, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
That boy is not the killer.
-Oldbag
What!?
How can you be so sure!
-Oldbag
Oh, or is it be nice to the
kids and mean to your elders
day? Whippersnapper!
-Phoenix
I have proof.
-Oldbag
P-proof!?
-Judge
Indeed? Then let's
see this proof, Mr. Wright.
-Judge
You have proof that shows
the boy could not have
committed this murder?
***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* This is my proof!
*
* -Judge
* ...
*
* -Judge
* I can't see how that has
* anything to do with this
* matter, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* There aren't that many
* pieces of evidence in
* the Court Record.
*
* -Judge
* Please try not to pick
* the wrong ones!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
*
* -Judge
* I'll ask again, Mr. Wright.
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
The murder weapon was
the Samurai Spear.
-Phoenix
That very spear is shown
here in this photo.
-Phoenix
How could the boy have taken
the spear? It's impossible!
-Judge
I see!
-Judge
Well, would the witness
care to comment on this?
-Oldbag
Mrph.
-Phoenix
(The windbag... speechless.
This has got to be a first.)
-Judge
Very well!
-Judge
This court will suspend
proceedings on the current
trial for today.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, please find out
more about your witness, Ms.
Windy... what was her name?
-Edgeworth
Something "Oldbag," Your
Honor.
-Judge
Then the prosecution will
look further into this
Oldbag before we continue!
-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Oldbag
W-wait a second!
-Oldbag
I'm not going to just sit
here while you run off barking
up the wrong tree... me!
-Oldbag
I'm talking!
-Maya
Oh, great, stop the presses!
The windbag wants to talk!
-Judge
Ms. Oldbag!
What is this all about?
-Judge
Have you omitted something
from your testimony?
-Oldbag
Actually, if you must know,
there's something I was told
not to talk about.
-Phoenix
N-not to talk about?
-Edgeworth
By whom!?
-Phoenix
(Huh? You mean it wasn't
Edgeworth who told her not
to talk...?)
-Judge
W-well, testify!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- My Lips Were Sealed --
(1)
-Oldbag
Global Studios wanted me to
keep quiet about something.
(2)
-Oldbag
There were... some other
people at the studios on
the day of the murder.
(3)
-Oldbag
They said they had "nothing
to do with it," see?
(4)
-Oldbag
So they told me to just
pretend they "hadn't been
at the studios that day."
(5)
-Oldbag
But if you're going to go
accusing me, I'm not letting
them get away scot free!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
M-Ms. Oldbag!
-Judge
This is crucial information!
Why did you keep this from
the court until now!?
-Oldbag
Ain't you been listening?
-Oldbag
They told me to shut my
trap, and I always do what
I'm told.
-Judge
...
-Phoenix
(No, this isn't a bad dream,
Your Honor. Witness the power
of the Oldbag...)
-Judge
Mr. Wright...
Your cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- My Lips Were Sealed --
(1)
-Oldbag
Global Studios wanted me to
keep quiet about something.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So, you were told
not to talk?
-Oldbag
That's right! By the studio
and TV bigwigs, no less!
-Edgeworth
Why didn't I hear about this!?
-Oldbag
Don't be too hard on yourself,
sonny. We were all in on it.
(2)
-Oldbag
There were... some other
people at the studios on
the day of the murder.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
W-who were these people!?
-Oldbag
Well, the director and
the producer, for starters...
-Phoenix
The... director?
-Edgeworth
We should have known
something was fishy!
-Edgeworth
How could they have done a
run-through of their action
scene without a director?
-Edgeworth
Of course!
-Oldbag
Yes, well, I was surprised
no one asked about it.
-Phoenix
So, where were these people?
-Oldbag
The director was in the
Employee Area all morning
for the run-through.
-Oldbag
He joined the producer around
lunchtime and they had a
meeting after that.
-Edgeworth
Where!
-Oldbag
Oh, in the Studio Two trailer.
-Phoenix
S-Studio Two...!?
(There was a Studio Two...?)
-Oldbag
Well, if you look at
the guidemap...
-Oldbag
Here it is.
-Oldbag
You go through the gate
and all the way to the left.
-Phoenix
(The path where the monkey's
head was fallen over.)
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright...
Would you like to continue
the cross-examination...?

all my questions, but...)

Ms. Oldbag!
This is a trial for murder!
-Oldbag
I know that, silly!
-Oldbag
Still, they were pretty
convincing about having
nothing to do with it.
-Oldbag
And... they gave me a little
bonus on the side.
-Phoenix
(So, you got your "bonus"
and you still talked...)
-Phoenix
(Hmm. I think I've asked
all the questions I have
to ask...)

-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So they were actually in the
studio!?
-Oldbag
Yes, the whole day.
-Oldbag
When they heard about
the murder, they beat it
before the cops came.
-Edgeworth
*grumble*
(I'll kill this woman,
I swear it...)
-Phoenix
(I feel sorry for Edgeworth,
almost. She really left
him hanging on this one.)

Nick! I guess pressing her
was the right thing to do!

For an old windbag, she sure

Let's get as much information
as we can!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
We have learned there were
others at Global Studios
on the day in question.
-Phoenix
The director and the
producer and, er, some
bigwigs, were all present.
-Phoenix
Yet, as we stand here, they
have not been questioned!
-Phoenix
I hold that it is impossible
to declare a verdict on the
defendant, Mr. Powers!
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
The corut acknowledges the
defense's point.
-Judge
The prosecution will gather
more information about the
witness, Ms. Oldbag...
-Judge
and more information
about these other people
we have just been told of!
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
I understand, Your Honor.

Oh, or should I...
*sniff*
-Phoenix
We'll be going down to the
studios to do some more
investigation.
-Phoenix
We have to find out more
about this director and
producer.
-Phoenix
They'll be turning up in the
next trial as witnesses
for certain.
-Phoenix
So now's my chance to get
material for the
cross-examination!
-Maya
So, Nick...
-Maya
Have we figured out just
who it was in that Steel
Samurai costume?
-Maya
Could it really have
been old windbag?
-Phoenix
What do you think,
Mr. Powers?
-Will
I don't think it
was her, really.
-Maya
Neither do I, Nick.
-Phoenix
Y-yeah, I know! Look, I was
just buying time back there.
-Phoenix
Someone had to be the bad
guy for a bit to take the
pressure off Mr. Powers.
-Maya
Poor old windbag...
I feel kinda sorry for her.
-Phoenix
Well, she wasn't winning any
points in there, with or
without my accusation.
-Phoenix
Okay, let's get down
to the studios.
-Maya
Right! We'll be back to
visit you soon...

Th-thanks.

No one's here.

Right, now that they have

-Phoenix
I guess they don't have anyone
else to replace her...
-Maya
H-hey! In the guard station!
Look! She left her donuts!
-Maya
...
-Maya
...
-Maya
What?
I wasn't going to eat them!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine guard station********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The security guard station.
*
* -Phoenix
* Ms. Oldbag must like junk

********************************************
***Examine computer*************************
*

* The computer that runs the

*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? It looks like it's
* been turned off for the day.
*
********************************************
***Examine main gate************************
*

-Maya
Hey, Nick.
-Maya
It looks like Detective
Gumshoe isn't here today.
-Phoenix
You're right.
-Phoenix
He's probably up to his neck
in paperwork after the
commotion at today's trial.
-Maya
So, Nick...
-Maya
Remember that "Studio Two"
we heard about at the trial
today?
-Maya
It was down that path
with the fallen tree, right?
-Phoenix
Yeah, I think that's
what they said.
-Maya
Maybe the director and
the rest of them are
there today?
-Maya
Now's our chance, Nick!
Let's check it out!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine bench****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm bushed.
* Maybe I'll sit down here
* for a bit.
*
* -Maya
* This is exactly why I don't
* want to get old, ever.
*
* -Phoenix
* H-hey! I'm still young!
* I'm just tired!
*
* -Maya
* Nick, when you start having
* to say "I'm still young,"
* you know it's all over.
*
* -Phoenix
* (But... but I AM still young!)
*
********************************************
***Examine camera***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* That's the security camera
* that automatically takes
* pictures of people here.
*
* -Phoenix
* It took two pictures on the
* day of the murder, before
* the actual time of death.
*
* -Phoenix
* One of them was the Steel
* Samurai. The other was
* a grade school boy.
*
* -Phoenix
* It doesn't seem to be switched
* on today.
*
********************************************
***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Maya
* It says "Welcome."
*
* -Phoenix
* They let people in here
* when they're not filming,
* right?
*
* -Maya
* Nick! Let's come here
* some day! Whaddya say?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure, if that security lady
* lets us in.
*
********************************************
***Examine mascot***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The studio mascot.
*
* -Phoenix
* Apparently it's a monkey
* of some kind.
*
* -Phoenix
* I've never seen a monkey
* with a nose like that before!
*
* -Maya
* Why don't they
* put his head back on?
*
* -Maya
* Maybe we should ask
* that assistant?
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm not sure we really
* want her fixing anything.
*
* -Phoenix
* And you'd probably need
* a crane to move that thing.
*
* -Maya
* Probably so.
*
********************************************
***Examine path to the left*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* In the trial, they said
* Studio Two was down this path.
*
* -Phoenix
* The monkey head is in the way,
* but we should be able to
* get by it without a problem.
*
* -Maya
* This monkey head
* is real heavy!
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, it did knock that tree
* over when it fell.
*
* -Maya
* Both of these, the monkey head
* and the tree, fell the day
* of the murder, didn't they.
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, that's what Detective
* Gumshoe said.
*
********************************************
***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -Phoenix
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the studio where they

-Maya
I... don't really want

-Phoenix
Yeah...
It is a murder scene.
-Maya
I want to go someplace else.
Nick?
-Phoenix
(*sigh*...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine backdrop*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like a backdrop
* for a stage.
*
* -Phoenix
* This must be used in
* the Steel Samurai show.
*
* -Maya
* Of course! That's the
* mountain, Neo Fujiyama!
*
* -Phoenix
* Doesn't the Steel Samurai take
* place in Olde Tokyo? Can you
* even see Mt. Fuji from there?
*
* -Maya
* Not Olde Tokyo, Nick!
* "Neo" Olde Tokyo!
*
********************************************
***Examine white board**********************
*
* -Pheonix
* That's for reflecting light.
* They call it a reflecting
* screen or something like that.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
*
* -Phoenix
* What? Where's your
* enthusiasm for all
* things entertainment?
*
* -Maya
* Well, lighting is fine, but
* I'd want to be the director.
* Or maybe the Steel Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think she's being
* serious...!)
*

***Examine cameras**************************
*

* Wow, look at that camera!

Studio Two Entrance
-Maya
This... is Studio Two?
-Phoenix
I thought so...
-Maya
It doesn't really look
much like a "studio,"
does it?
-Phoenix
No, that it does not.
-Maya
Hey...
There's a trailer over there.
-Phoenix
It looks pretty sturdy
for a movie set trailer.
-Maya
Are we sure this is
a studio?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine van******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A light van for moving
* staff and equipment around.
*
* -Phoenix
* They've kept it in pretty
* good shape. Looks like it'd
* run fine.
*
* -Maya
* Well, let's go for a drive!
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure... if I had a license.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! You don't have
* a driver's license!?
*
* -Phoenix
* But, look, I have this!
*
* -Maya
* Why are you showing me
* your attorney's badge, Nick?
*
********************************************
***Examine incinerator**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* An incinerator. Apparently
* they just put this one in.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's already covered in soot.
* They must not clean it much.
*
********************************************
***Examine "2"******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a big "2" painted
* here.
*
* -Maya
* Probably because this
* is Studio Two?
*
* -Phoenix
* Probably...
* Though it doesn't look
* anything like a studio.
*
********************************************
***Examine table****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like two people
* ate here.
*
* -Phoenix
* There's nothing left
* on the plates.
*
* -Maya
* Hey, so they ate t-bone
* steaks too.
*
* -Phoenix
* What is it with
* steaks around here?
*
* -Maya
* Hey! There's always room
* for steak!
*
* -Maya
* But... something does
* seem out of place...
*
* -Phoenix
* What?
*
* -Maya
* I... don't know. It just
* feels "odd."
*
********************************************
***Examine storage materials****************
*
* -Phoenix
* These look like materials
* for making a movie set.
*
* -Maya
* They've been sitting here
* for quite some time.
*
* -Maya
* This might as well
* be a junkyard.
*
********************************************
***Examine garden***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There're some flowers here.
*
* -Maya
* Wow, so pretty!
* They're taking good care
* of these.
*
* -Phoenix
* Don't get to close. That
* fence looks dangerous.
*
********************************************
***Examine trailer**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* On closer inspection, this

* here for a while.
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't think this is part

Hey!

Hi... WP's lawyers, right?

I heard about the trial!
Great job, guys!

Oh? Oh hoh hoh.
Don't mention it.

Is it true they caught

Oh! Oh... oh hoh hoh!

Actually, she just

She told me to cover

You mean that one?

(Wow, what a mess...)

I... I know...

I'm not so good with

Yeah, but you do work on

R-right.

Just... lots of times they

Oh? Oh! Well, I'm sure these

You're right!
I won't!

(Personally, I think she

Um, if you'll excuse me,

I'm supposed to fill

Right! See you later, then!

Good luck with your

* If that drain's covered,

* Also a few production guys.
*
* -Manella
* They piled into a limousine

*
* -Manella
* Major tension! *sweats*
*
* -Phoenix
* Were all of them with

*

Wright & Co. Law Offices
-Phoenix
Now what...
We're fresh out of clues.
-Phoenix
Everyone's alibi is water-
tight. We don't even have
any promising leads.
-Phoenix
Things are looking
pretty grim.
-???
It's a little early for
giving up, don't you think?
-Phoenix
Huh?
-???
You've got one lead...
-Phoenix
M-Mia! It's you!
-Phoenix
What took you so long!?
-Mia
Sorry, Phoenix.
-Mia
Maya has trouble calling me
unless she's really in
trouble.
-Phoenix
Right! Oh, wait. I guess
that means we're really
in trouble.
-Mia
I'd say so.
-Phoenix
What did you mean, we
have one lead...?
-Mia
The boy, of course.
-Cody
Yeah, I saw 'em.
I saw everything!
-Maya
What!?
-Cody
But...but no way am
I telling you losers!
-Phoenix
I dunno. He didn't sound
like he was going to help
us at all.
-Mia
I'm sure you can find
some way of bringing
him over to your side.
-Mia
Either way, we should
get back to the studios.
-Mia
That boy is our last
hope, Phoenix.
-Phoenix
(Thanks, now I'm more
worried than I was before...)

***Examine poster***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A poster of an old movie
* that Mia liked.
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, hey!
*
* -Phoenix
* Mia, what's the name
* of this movie?
*
* -Mia
* That movie...? Oh!
* I'd sure like to
* see that one again!
*
* -Mia
* It's, um...
* What was it, again?
*
* -Mia
* S-sorry, it's right

*
* -Phoenix

*
********************************************
***Examine plant****************************
*
* -Mia
* My poor plant! It looks
* so... so sluggish!
*
* -Mia
* Have you been watering
* it properly, Phoenix?
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, well, Maya
* has actually...
*
* -Phoenix
* I think maybe she's
* giving it too much.
*
* -Mia
* That child!
* Sorry, Charley.
*
* -Phoenix
* (The plant's name is...
* Charley?)
*
********************************************
***Present anything*************************
*
* -Mia
* Showing me that isn't
* going to do any good.
*
* -Mia
* You know what they say,
* "Dead men don't tell tales."
*
* -Phoenix
* (You sure are talking enough!)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "What to do"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* So, what's the best
* thing to do from here?
*
* -Mia
* We need to get to the studio
* and talk to that boy.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Any ideas"*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* So, do you have any
* ideas about who might
* have done this?
*
* -Mia
* We don't have enough
* information to make
* a case yet.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Where have I heard
* that phrase before?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (So THAT's where Maya
* got it from...)

W-what's wrong?

Huff... puff... huff... puff

-Phoenix
(She's been chasing that
boy this whole time.)
-Oldbag
Huff... puff... when... when
I ca... catch him... I... huff
-Phoenix
(Sounds like she hasn't had
any luck catching him.)
-Oldbag
Huff... puff... I... I got a

*
* -Oldbag
* I was his...

*
* -Phoenix
* You don't have your own

*
* -Oldbag
* Studio One isn't my turf.
* Huff... huff...
*
* -Oldbag
* You'll let me borrow...
* borrow it, then?
*
* -Phoenix
* (If I give her the cardkey,
* then I won't be able to
* get into Studio One...!)
*
* ***Keep the cardkey*************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Sorry, we have our own
* * investigating to do there.
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * Huff... huff... puff.
* * Poo.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Was that last bit a
* * breath, or a pout...?)
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***Lend her the cardkey*********************
* *
* * -Mia
* * Why don't you let
* * her borrow it, Phoenix?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I guess it can't hurt.
* * Here you go, Ms. Oldbag.
* *
* * Cardkey lent to Ms. Oldbag.
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * ...
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * Listen to me, sonny.
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * I don't like having

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * What's this...?
* * A Steel Samurai trading
* * card?
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * That sneaky kid dropped it!
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * I figure it's pretty
* * important to him, though.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Thank you, I may
* * have a use for this.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (This must be the "hostage"
* * she was talking about.)
* *
* * Steel Samurai Card added
* * to the Court Record.
* *
* * -Oldbag
* * Right.
* * I'm off.
* *
* * -Phoenix

***Present Powers's(?) Photo****************
*
* -Oldbag
* I... I told you

*
********************************************
***Present Trailer Key**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Ms. Oldbag? I'm borrowing

*
* -Oldbag
* Oh... o-okay... huff.
*
* -Oldbag

* Huff... huff... puff...
* ... huff... puff... haaah!
*
* -Oldbag

*
********************************************
***Talk about "The fanboy"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... what happened
* to the boy?
*
* -Oldbag

*
* -Phoenix
* (Is she okay!?)
*
* -Oldbag
* B-before I go, I'd like
* to v-visit the place where
* poor H-Hammer died...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Right... she was saying she
* wanted to visit the studio

*
********************************************
***Talk about "The "hostage""***************
*
* -Phoenix
* What's this about
* a "hostage"?
*
* -Oldbag

* ...he dropped this,
* a-and ran! Huff... huff...
*
* -Oldbag
* H-he'll come back... huff...
* huff... for this one!
*
* -Phoenix
* (It's kind of hard to
* understand her with all
* that huffing and puffing.)
*
* -Mia
* Phoenix!
* That "hostage" might
* be what we need!
*
* -Mia
* Cody might talk to us
* if we gave him that!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Good idea!)
* Ms. Oldbag! might I...
*
* -Oldbag
* No!
*
* -Oldbag
* I'm catching that brat if
* it's the last thing I do!
*
* -Mia
* Phoenix. Do you have anything
* you might trade with her?
*
* -Phoenix
* (A trade, hmm...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I wonder...?)
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: Outside Studio One

***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* "Welcome"...
*
* -Phoenix
* I wonder if the murder will
* make this place famous, too.
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: Inside Studio One
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine backdrop*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A stage backdrop.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is "Neo Fujiyama,"
* according to Maya.
*
* -Phoenix
* It looks incredibly fake,
* but I guess the kids
* don't mind.
*
********************************************
***Examine cameras**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A collection of expensive
* film equipment.
*
* -Phoenix
* I can't even begin to
* imagine how much just
* one of these costs.
*
* -Phoenix
* If we broke one, we'd go
* bankrupt for sure.
*
********************************************
***Examine ladder***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A perfectly normal stepladder.
*
* -Phoenix
* I've never actually used
* one. I don't like heights.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm a firm belever that
* humankind was made to keep
* both feet on the ground.
*
********************************************
***Examine director's chair*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* A classic director's chair.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm surprised they don't
* have an extra large one
* for Mr. Manella.
*
********************************************
***Examine white board**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* A panel for reflecting light.
*
* -Phoenix

* board" or something.
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: Outside Studio One
Outside Studio Two
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine van******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A light van for moving
* staff and equipment around.
*
* -Phoenix
* They've kept it in pretty
* good shape. Looks like it'd
* run fine.
*
********************************************
***Examine "2"******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a big "2" painted
* here.
*
* -Phoenix
* Probably because this
* is Studio Two?
*
* -Phoenix
* Probably...
* Though it doesn't look
* anything like a studio.
*
********************************************
***Examine table****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like two people
* ate here.
*
* -Phoenix
* There's nothing left
* on the plates.
*
********************************************
***Examine storage materials****************
*
* -Phoenix
* These look like materials
* for making a movie set.
*
* -Phoenix
* They've been sitting here
* for quite some time.
*
* -Phoenix
* This might as well
* be a junkyard.
*
********************************************
***Examine flowers**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Nameless flowers bloom
* in solitude.
*
* -Phoenix
* They probably have a proper
* name...
*
* -Phoenix
* But it is not for me to know.
* Not now, nor ever till the
* end of my days.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* I need a vacation.
*
********************************************
***Examine trailer door*********************
*

* just walk right in.
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: Trailer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine middle poster********************
*
* -Phoenix
* "'Samurai Summer'
* starring Jack Hammer."
*
* -Phoenix
* This poster looks like it's
* been hanging here for years.
*
* -Mia
* This is one of Maya's
* favorite movies.
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe we should replace
* the poster in the office
* with this one?
*
* -Mia
* That... would be
* kind of sad.
*
********************************************
***Examine left poster**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Another old movie poster.
* "'The Singing Samurai'
* starring Jack Hammer."
*
* -Phoenix
* What the hell do samurai
* sing about? Chopping off
* heads?
*
* -Mia
* It's a samurai musical
* set in ancient Japan.
*
* -Phoenix
* A s-samurai musical?
* Is that even a genre!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, I'm impressed.
* You know your stuff, Mia.
*
* -Mia
* Oh, Maya's the real fan.

* Huh. It's so... normal.

* Popcorn, at least!

* Look at this! "Spaghetti

* -Phoenix
* S-spaghetti?

* Looks like one of those

* I dunno about these.
