II. PHOENIX WRIGHT OVERVIEW [0201]
_______________________________________________________________________________
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a point and click text adventure for Nintendo
DS. The game depicts about the legal system in a fictional world where the
golden rule of their criminal code is: "Guilty until proven innocent" (instead
of innocent until proven guilty). The burden of proof lies in the defense's
shoulder (instead of the prosecutor) to prove that his client is innocent.
In this game, we are playing as a young man by the name of Phoenix Wright, a
defense attorney who seems to always get involve in interesting cases
throughout his career. His confidence bluffing during the trial has helped him
a lot in prolonging the trial, preventing the judge from declaring his client
to be GUILTY, so he can have more time to find more evidence to help his
client. He also carries out investigation in the crime scene and its
surrounding by himself (and his ONE assistant!) in order to build a strong case
for his client.
Most of the prosecutors Phoenix faced in the game are obsessed with a
"perfect" record, i.e. they have a 100% record that the defendant would always
get a GUILTY verdict in their case (they even forge the evidence in order to
accomplish this!). Well, that's before they have to deal with Phoenix Wright.
Somehow, Phoenix managed to win his case in almost every trial, even
though the situation in the first hearing looks almost impossible to turn
around. That's why all the episodes have the word "Turnabout" in their titles
and Phoenix Wright is called an ACE ATTORNEY!! (and we have a game to play...)
The episodes and scripts in Phoenix Wright games are nothing short of wonderful
and entertaining! They were really well-done and easy to understand. Even the
localisation and the translation of the scripts (which are originally Japanese)
are excellent. Although there are multitude of spelling mistakes and grammar
errors in this third game, most of the humour and the meaning of the texts are
not lost and can be easily understood by the Western society.
One might say this game is like a live interactive crime-fiction book with
beautiful graphics. And that's true! If you enjoy thinking logically and
reading mystery or crime-fiction/detective book, this game is for you. I
guarantee you will love it!

| The Purpose of This Guide | [0311]
o---------------------------o
Ever wonder what you will get if you chose that other choices? Oh, you forgot
to save and you didn't have enough life bar; also you were too thrilled to stop
and try the other option because you wanted to finish the case asap!
Or do you ever wonder what all those fast texts are actually saying? Like when
your conservation was cut, there was fast action, etc
Or see what funny things will ensue when you present some random stuff to
various people during investigation...
Or you want to reference and find the exact quote of some memorable or silly
stuff that being said throughout the game...
Or you just want to read the case again like a book!
Whatever your need is, this game script should be able to help you, because as
has been said above, Phoenix Wright game is a text adventure game, which means
the text IS the game! It is just like an interactive book (with beautiful
graphics of course!), so if you have played the game and want to have some more
nostalgia with it, this script is for you!

| Formatting | [0321]
o------------o
Game script can look a bit like a text dump, aka wall of (meaningless) text in
random order. Therefore, some formatting needs to be done in order for these
texts to appear in a meaningful sequence and easily searchable.
There are two distinct parts in this game, the investigation part and the
trial. The formatting for each part is quite different, but there are a few
things that remain the same for both parts:
1. Basic formatting
<Name tag>:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
--> The lines were cut off as they were in the game, for authenticity.
--> If there isn't any <Name tag>, it means the game also did not have it.
2. A full ---- line
--> Indicates a change of scene.
3. A halfway ---- line
--> Indicates a minor change of situation, usually a flashback or a black
screen (when thinking) or a person going out.
4. xxx three-sided box
--> You will lose some of your life bar if you choose to do this.
5. *** three-sided box
--> Choice. At the end of this box, there is usually an indication for you to
CONTINUE or RETURN TO QUESTION.
6. RETURN TO THE QUESTION BEFORE IT
--> Going back up to the original question (to prevent dead-end loop).
7. All misspells and grammar mistakes from the game were put in here as is.
The following sections will specify the formatting of this document in greater
details for investigation part and trial part:
-------------
Investigation [0322]
-------------
1. A full ---- line
--> Moving from one place to another.
--> Using Maya's Magatama to unlock Psyche-Locks.
2. A halfway ---- line
--> When you can start examine the background and talk to the person.
--> After talking to the person, if there is something else happening.
3. +++ three-sided box
--> Examine (labelled). Note: The labelled names may not be official.
4. >>> three-sided box
--> Talk (labelled).
5. *** three-sided box
--> Present (labelled). Evidence first, then profile, then anything else.
6. MOVE TO: "<name of place>"
--> This shows where you need to go next. This excludes any middle room.
7. In any episode, when you examine the same stuff or present the same thing to
the same person, and the text appears to be the same, I will only write it at
the place where the text showed up for the first time. Therefore, if there is
something missing in the second part of the investigation, it probably has been
done in the first investigation part.
-----
Trial [0323]
-----
1. A full ---- line
--> Start and end of cross-examination.
2. A halfway ---- line
--> The additional comment after Witness Testimony.
--> The additional comment after cycling through all Witness statement during
the Cross Examination.
3. Each statement of Witness Testimony will be labelled (1), (2), etc.
4. Indentation during Cross Examination.
--> What you get if you PRESS in that statement.

Argh!
How did I get into this mess?
Why...? Why did I do that...?

That girl...
You shouldn't see her anymore.
Hey!
It's none of your business!
I'm telling you for your sake.
If you continue to see her,
it's going to be bad news.
Y-You're lying!
Just listen to me.
There's something you need

Stop it!

Mia Fey
2nd Trial
April 11, 9:40 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3
Mia:
(Whew, it's finally time...
I'm kind of nervous...)
? ? ?:
*Ah-HHHHEM!*
Mia:
Oh! Mr. Grossberg!
Good morning!
Grossberg:
Ah, Mia.
Please calm yourself down!
Grossberg:
You're going to get yourself
arrested for suspicious
behavior, you know.
Mia:
What are you talking about!!
I am relaxed, Mr. Grossberg!!
Look at me, I'm relaxed!!
Grossberg:
*Grrrmmphh*
L-Let go of my lapels!
Grossberg:
Hmph... You obviously
haven't got the temperament
to be a lawyer.
Mia:
I, err... I'm so sorry!
It's just that I'm so
nervous today...
Grossberg:
Oh, that's right.
This is your first time in the
big leagues, isn't it?
Grossberg:
Well, never you fear my dear.
I, Marvin Grossberg, am
at your service!
Mia:
Umm, actually this is my
second time in court...
Grossberg:
Still, you surprised me...
What, with your earnest
request last night...
Grossberg:
"Let me handle this case!"
you suddenly said. And quite
forcefully, too!
Mia:
I just found out yesterday.
About the case, I mean.
Grossberg:
What?
And you've already learned all
the relevant facts?
Mia:
Well about that... You see...
I mean, of course I have!
I think.
Grossberg:
Oh dear...
Grossberg:
In any case, don't let our
client see you're so nervous.
Grossberg:
You see the poor young man in
the pink sweater over there?
That's our client.
Phoenix:
*cough* *sniffle*
Good morning there everybody!
Mia:
Good morning...
(Try to keep smiling, Mia!)
Phoenix:
I, err, I just want to say...
I'll give it all I've got!
Phoenix:
Yup, it'll be fine!
No prob!
*cough* *achoo* *achoo*
Mia:
Oh, what's wrong?
Do you have a cold or
something... Mr. Wry?
Phoenix:
Actually, it's Wright... Like
the flying brothers... People
screw it up all the time.
Phoenix:
And yes I have a cold.
That's what this mask is for.
Phoenix:
My doc says this way, I won't
give it to anyone else...
Be kind to others, he says...
Mia:
Right, Mr. Wright!
You have nothing to fear
in court today!
Mia:
If you are truly innocent...
I promise I will save you!
Phoenix:
Nnnnggghh... P-Please
l-let go of my shirt...
*cough*
Mia:
(That's right, he's the one
on trial, not you! He's the
one who should be nervous!)
Mia:
(You need to stay strong for
your client, Mia!)
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
My name is Mia Fey.
I'm still pretty new at this
lawyer thing...
Mia:
The first time I appeared in
court was a year ago.
Mia:
But that trial traumatized me
so badly, I thought I'd never
set foot in another courtroom.
Mia:
It's been one year since then,
and well, here I am again.
Mia:
But this time...
This time I'll win.
Mia:
For my client...
And for myself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 11, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2
Judge:
Court is now in session for
the trial of Phoenix Wright.
Mia:
The defense is
ready, Your Honor!
Payne:
The prosecution is
ready, Your Honor.
Judge:
The defense today is...
Ms... Ms... Mia Fey, was it?
Mia:
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
Is there a problem?
Judge:
I was under the impression
that Marvin Grossberg was
to be leading the defense.
Mia:
Yes! Well, you see...
Mia:
Mr. Grossberg had...
A-A bit of an emergency...
Judge:
Emergency?
But isn't that him standing
there right next to you?
Mia:
Yes, well...
Judge:
You... You're just a rookie.
Are you sure you can really
handle this?
Mia:
(Don't let him scare you, Mia!
Give him your toughest look!)
Mia:
Of course, Your Honor!
...
I think.
Judge:
Hmm...
Judge:
Well, Mr. Payne.
Your opening statement,
please.
Payne:
Well, well, well...
Payne:
I can't believe a veteran like
me has to spend his time baby-
sitting a new defense lawyer.
Mia:
...!
Payne:
Don't worry little girl.
It will all be over soon.
Mia:
(What was that all about?
Was he trying to trash-talk
me?)
Payne:
Now then, I'd like to proceed
with a summary of events
on the day in question.
Payne:
The incident occurred on
the campus of Ivy University.
Payne:
The murder victim was a
student named Doug Swallow.
Payne:
He was a fourth year student
studying Pharmacology.
Judge:
Hmm... It sounds like he was
a very bright young man.
Payne:
Yes, well, next we have a
photo taken at the scene of
the crime.
Payne:
Students discovered the scene
shortly after the murder. They
found the victim's body...
Payne:
...and the defendant, who had
obviously bungled his getaway.
They then called the police.
Judge:
Hmm... That certainly makes
the defendant look very
suspicious indeed.
Judge:
Very well.
The court accepts this photo
into the record as evidence.
*Crime Photo 1 added to
the Court Record.*
Judge:
By the way...
Judge:
I can't quite tell the cause
of death from this photo.
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee...
Payne:
Your reputation for sagacity
is well-earned, Your Honor.
Payne:
The truth is that this victim
died a rather unusual death.
Mia:
An unusual death...!?
Judge:
What do you mean, Mr. Payne!?
Payne:
Well...
Perhaps the defense would
like to take this question.
Mia:
Huh...!?
Payne:
A simple question. I thought
I might loosen you up a bit.
Payne:
I am a genteel-man, if you
will.
Mia:
Um, a what?
Mia:
(Stand up to him, Mia!
Show him what you're made of!)
Grossberg:
Ah, a perfect opportunity!
Well, what was it? The cause!
Go on!
Grossberg:
...
Grossberg:
...Please say you know at
least this much.
Mia:
I-I'm so sorry...
I-I didn't get a chance to
read through the whole file.
Grossberg:
*groan*
My hemorrhoids are beginning
to act up...
Grossberg:
Now see here!
Grossberg:
The details of the case are
filed under the Court Record.
Grossberg:
But you knew that already,
didn't you?
Mia:
(Ah! The Court Record! I think
I can see that by touching the
Court Record Button...)
Grossberg:
All of the weapons we need can
be found in the Court Record.
Grossberg:
Take a good, hard look at the
data there and think carefully
before you answer, m'dear!
Mia:
Y-Yes, sir!
I'll do just that!
Mia:
(I've got to stay calm!
I can't let that prosecutor
get the better of me!)
Mia:
(The Court Record... OK, let's
take a look! I just touch the
Court Record Button here...)
Judge:
Now then, would the attorney
for the defense please answer
the question?
Judge:
What was the cause of death?
*** Asphyxiation ***************************
*
* Mia:
* Well... I think you'll find
* it was a case of asphyxiation.
*
* Judge:
* Hmm...
* Asphyxiation, huh?
*
* Grossberg:
* M-Mia!
* What are you saying!?
*
* Mia:
* Well it's stuffy in here!
* I can hardly breathe.
*
* Grossberg:
* No one's asking how you feel!
* Please, make sure to properly
* read the Court Record!
*
* Mia:
* I-I'm so sorry!
* I'll take a better look!
*
* Mia:
* (Hang in there, Mia! Open
* the Court Record with the
* Court Record Button...)
*
* Judge:
* Hmm...
* I'll ask you once again.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
*** Electrocution **************************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
*** Hypothermia ****************************
*
* Mia:
* Err... Hypothermia, I believe.
*
* ...
* ...
* ......
*
* Mia:
* Umm, Mr. Grossberg?
*
* Mia:
* Does it suddenly feel very
* cold in here to you?
*
* Grossberg:
* That's because your absurd
* reply has brought a chill
* to the courtroom!
*
* Mia:
* I-I'm so sorry...
*
* Grossberg:
* Look at the Court Record more
* carefully, would you!
*
* Grossberg:
* How can you expect to win
* a case this way!?
*
* Mia:
* (Hang in there, Mia! Open
* the Court Record with the
* Court Record Button...)
*
* Judge:
* Hmm...
* I'll ask you once again.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
Mia:
According to the Court Record,
it was a fatal electric shock.
In other words, electrocution.
Judge:
Electrocution? Hmm...
But how could such a thing
happen?
Judge:
Did the murderer use some
type of new, super-powerful
stun-gun, perhaps?
Payne:
The answer to that will become
crystal clear as this trial
proceeds, Your Honor.
Payne:
But before that, there is one
more vital issue.
Mia:
Wh-What's that?
Payne:
Why, motive of course.
Payne:
Apparently there was some
bad blood between the victim
and the defendant.
Judge:
Bad blood...?
Mia:
Wh-What do you mean...?
Payne:
Oopsie! I'm terribly sorry.
Payne:
You're the defense attorney,
so you must know all about it.
Payne:
I shouldn't be stealing your
spotlight like this.
Mia:
(I really don't like this
guy's smug attitude...)
Grossberg:
That's Winston Payne for you.
He is one smooth operator,
if you catch my drift.
Grossberg:
They don't call him the
"Rookie Killer" for nothing,
you know.
Judge:
Now then, let's hear from
the defense.
Judge:
What was the source of the
bad blood between the victim
and the defendant?
Judge:
And this time, I would like to
see some supporting evidence!
Mia:
Ev-Evidence...?
Grossberg:
Ah, no need to get all worked
up over this.
Grossberg:
As I said, all our weapons can
be found in the Court Record.
Grossberg:
Find the evidence you need
and then shove it into Ol'
Graybeard's face!
Mia:
Y-Yes, sir!
Into Ol' Graybeard's face!
Judge:
Err, Mr. Grossberg.
Judge:
Try to set a better example
for the young lady!
Grossberg:
Mia, evidence isn't the only
thing in the Court Record.
People's profiles are as well.
Grossberg:
You can toggle between
Profiles and Evidence, so be
sure to go over it all!
Judge:
Now then, let's see what
you've got.
Judge:
What was the cause of the
bad blood between Phoenix
Wright and the victim?
*** Present something wrong ****************
*
* Mia:
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* Judge:
* Mr. Grossberg...
*
* Judge:
* I honestly think it would be
* best for the defense if you
* were in charge.
*
* Judge:
* I'm afraid Ms. Fey might stir
* up some bad blood with this
* court if she were to continue.
*
* Grossberg:
* Or simply put, you are quite
* mistaken, m'dear.
*
* Mia:
* Oh no...
* I'm so sorry...
*
* Judge:
* Even if you are new, your
* lack of preparation is
* inexcusable.
*
* Judge:
* Now take a moment and think it
* over again.
*
* Mia:
* Y-Yes, Your Honor!
* (It's OK! You've got another
* chance, Mia!)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
*Present Dahlia Hawthorne profile*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
The reason for the bad blood
between the two of them was...
this woman here.
Judge:
Dahlia Hawthorne, is it?
Payne:
Very good, Ms. Fey.
You seem to have picked up
on at least this much.
Payne:
This woman is the girlfriend
of the defendant, Phoenix
Wright.
Payne:
But up until about eight
months ago, she was with
the victim, Mr. Swallow.
Payne:
Clearly she has some part
to play in this story.
Judge:
Hmm...
Grossberg:
Ah, he's done it again.
Grossberg:
Before the cross-examination
starts, he's already got the
judge thinking like he wants.
Judge:
Very well, Mr. Payne.
Please call your first
witness!
Payne:
If it pleases the court, the
prosecution would like to
call Mr. Phoenix Wright.
Judge:
What? The defendant himself?
Well, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
(It's fine! After all,
Mr. Wright is innocent, right?)
Mia:
The defense has no objection.
Judge:
Very well.
Judge:
The court calls Mr. Phoenix
Wright to the witness stand!
--------------------------------------------
Payne:
Witness, please state your
name and occupation.
Phoenix:
Oh, ah, yes...
My name is Phoenix Wright.
Phoenix:
My job is, um... Well, right
now, I guess I'm a suspect.
Judge:
No, no. He means what did
you do before you were
arrested?
Phoenix:
Oh...
*achoo* *achoo* *achoo*
I was a university student.
Payne:
Mr. Wright.
Payne:
You understand that you are
suspected in the death of your
fellow student, Doug Swa--
Phoenix:
But! But I didn't do it!
I'm innocent I tell you!
Phoenix:
I'm telling you I was...
*achoo* *achoo* *cough*
*cough* *achoo* *cough*
Judge:
Would the defendant please
refrain from passing on his
cold to the rest of us!
Payne:
It seems the witness has
something he wants to say.
Judge:
Hmm...
Well then, Mr. Wright.
Judge:
Please tell us about your
relation to the victim.
Phoenix:
Right away, Your Honor!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Victim and I --
(1)
Phoenix:
Um, I...
I admit I was there...
(2)
Phoenix:
But I'm not a killer!
All I did was find his body!
(3)
Phoenix:
I hardly knew the guy to begin
with...
(4)
Phoenix:
I never even talked to that
stuck-up British wannabe!
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm... I see.
So you hardly knew the victim?
Phoenix:
Right!
Like I said, I'm not a killer!
Mia:
Whew... It looks like the
judge understands.
Grossberg:
Mmfph...
You're being naïve, you know.
Too naïve.
Mia:
Huh...?
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.
Payne:
It seems that you've forgotten
one small thing, young lady.
Mia:
And that would be...?
Payne:
This witness still has to
undergo something called
cross-examination.
Mia:
Cross-examination...?
Grossberg:
He's right. And it's the
defense's duty to carry out
the cross-examination.
Grossberg:
The purpose is to determine if
a witness's testimony contains
any contradictions.
Mia:
Contradictions...?
Grossberg:
If a witness is lying, their
statements will conflict with
the Court Record.
Mia:
But... Mr. Wright is my
client!
Grossberg:
Even if he is your client, in
court, all lies must be struck
down.
Grossberg:
As a lawyer, that is
your duty, you see.
Mia:
(What does he mean by that?
Is he saying that testimony
just now...)
Mia:
(That there was a lie --
a contradiction?)
Judge:
Now then, your cross-
examination, if you please,
Ms. Fey.
Mia:
(Please, Mr. Wright... Tell me
you haven't been lying!)
Mia:
(You wouldn't do that to me...
would you...?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Victim and I --
(1)
Phoenix:
Um, I...
I admit I was there...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
When you say "there", you
mean the place where the
victim was murdered?
Phoenix:
Y-Yeah, sort of.
The place where SOMETHING
happened anyway.
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
"Something"? You can't hide
what happened. We have
photographic evidence.
Phoenix:
*achoo*
*achoo* *achoo* *achoo*
Mia:
A-Anyway, Mr. Wright...
Mia:
What were you doing at the
scene of the crime?
Mia:
I thought you said you didn't
know the victim, Mr. Swallow.
Phoenix:
It was just a coincidence!
We bumped into each other
by accident.
Judge:
A coincidence, huh...?
(2)
Phoenix:
But I'm not a killer!
All I did was find his body!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You say you found the body?
So who called the police?
Phoenix:
Huh!? Um...
*achoo* *cough* *achoo*
*cough* *achoo* *cough*
Payne:
Unfortunately it was some
other students that notified
the police.
Judge:
"Other students"...?
Payne:
That's correct.
They were witnesses.
Payne:
Witnesses who saw the
defendant standing there,
next to the body, in shock!
Judge:
W-What!
Is this true, Mr. Wright!?
Phoenix:
*achoo*
*achoo* *achoo*
*achoo* *achoo* *achoo*
Mia:
(Could you stop sneezing every
time you're in a bind...?)
Phoenix:
W-Well, it's true that I was
pretty shocked when I found
the body.
Phoenix:
But, but I...
(3)
Phoenix:
I hardly knew the guy to begin
with...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So, you didn't know his face,
or even his name, right?
Phoenix:
Right!
Um, well, no...
That is... I mean...
Mia:
So... Which is it?
Did you know him or not?
Phoenix:
*achoo*
*achoo* *achoo*
Judge:
Now, see here! You can't avoid
answering the question by
sneezing all day!
Phoenix:
Err... Umm, well...
I guess I did know his name.
Mia:
(N-News to me! Why didn't he
tell me that before...?)
Phoenix:
Um... I heard he used to
date Dollie.
Judge:
Who is this "Dollie" person?
Payne:
Ah yes, that would be the
defendant's lover, Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne.
Judge:
Oh, I see.
Ah, young love...
So bittersweet...
Phoenix:
But that's all I knew
about him!
(4)
Phoenix:
I never even talked to that
stuck-up British wannabe!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Mr. Wright, you stated the
following in your testimony:
Mia:
"I hardly knew the guy to
begin with..."
Phoenix:
Th-That's right! I mean why
would I even--
Mia:
But that doesn't sound right.
Mia:
If you hardly knew him...
Mia:
...then why would you say that
the victim was a "stuck-up
British wannabe"!?
Phoenix:
...
Mia:
...
Phoenix:
...
*achoo*
Mia:
Well, Mr. Wright!?
Phoenix:
Ah! No! It wasn't me!
I'm not a killer, I swear!
Judge:
Mr. Wright. I will give you an
opportunity to revise your
testimony.
Judge:
How is it that you knew the
victim was, as you put it,
a "British wannabe"...?
Phoenix:
Y-Yes, well...
ADD STATEMENT (4b)
(4b)
Phoenix:
He was always walking around
with a huge Union Jack on the
back of his shirt.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Did you see it at the
crime scene?
The Union Jack, I mean.
Phoenix:
Y-Yes, that's right!
I saw it at the crime scene!
Phoenix:
That's why... That's why I
figured he must love British
stuff, see?
Phoenix:
It's true! Cross my heart!
I swear I didn't do it...
Mia:
(He's acting fishier than the
salmon I ate last night...)
Judge:
May I ask you something,
Ms. Fey?
Mia:
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
(What is it now?)
Judge:
Who is this person anyway?
This "Union Jack" fellow...
Mia:
...
Payne:
The Union Jack is the name
of the flag of England.
Judge:
Oh, I see...
So you mean like the
"Stars and Stripes", right?
Payne:
As usual, Your Honor, your
insight astounds me.
Mia:
(Hey, something just
occurred to me...)
Mia:
(Isn't there something
strange about this bit
just now?)
Grossberg:
Mia...
There is a contradiction here!
Mia:
M-Mr. Grossberg!
Grossberg:
Quickly now! Show that
boy you mean business!
With evidence, I mean!
Mia:
(OK, Mia, check the
Court Record carefully!)
--------------------------------------------
Grossberg:
Well m'dear, do you think you
can manage on your own from
this point?
*** I can handle it myself. ****************
*
* Mia:
* (One year ago... I was in a
* courtroom just like this.)
*
* Mia:
* (I can do it.
* I can handle this myself!)
*
* Grossberg:
* Mmrgh... You mustn't try to
* bite off more than you can
* chew, Mia.
*
* Mia:
* I-I'll be fine!
* I know what I have to do!
*
* Grossberg:
* Remember, you can always press
* him to get more information.
* Oh, and one more thing.
*
* Grossberg:
* When you're going to state a
* contradiction, make sure you
* present some definitive proof.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
*** I need some help. **********************
*
* Mia:
* Umm, Mr. Grossberg...
* I could use a little help...
*
* Grossberg:
* Ah, please don't look so sad.
* It brings a tear to my eye
* when you do.
*
* Grossberg:
* Alright, listen carefully. By
* comparing the testimony
* to the Court Record...
*
* Grossberg:
* ...you should be able to
* discover any contradictions,
* if there are any.
*
* Grossberg:
* And when you've found one...
*
* Mia:
* I present the piece of
* evidence that contradicts
* the witness's testimony...?
*
* Grossberg:
* Yes. That's the ticket!
*
* Mia:
* But still... I don't see any
* contradictions in Mr. Wright's
* testimony!
*
* Grossberg:
* Hmm... Maybe you don't have
* enough information yet.
*
* Mia:
* Information...?
*
* Grossberg:
* You can press for more
* information by leaning on
* a witness.
*
* Mia:
* Even if they're my own client?
*
* Grossberg:
* It doesn't matter who it is,
* if you think they're lying,
* press them like a cheap suit!
*
* Grossberg:
* That is the obligation of
* an attorney.

* CONTINUE

Mia:
(OK, Mia. One more time, from
the very beginning of his
testimony!)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Present Crime Photo 1* at (4b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Are you certain you saw the
"Union Jack"?
Phoenix:
Y-Yeah, I'm sure. It was
right there on his back.
Judge:
Ms. Fey, is there some point
to this line of questioning?
Mia:
Your Honor, please take
another look at the crime
scene photo.
Mia:
As you can see, there's
absolutely nothing written on
the victim's back.
Phoenix:
Hey! Wait a minute!
He's wearing a leather jacket!
Phoenix:
The Union Jack was on the
back of the t-shirt he
was wearing...
Mia:
I was under the impression
that you accidentally came
across the body.
Mia:
But, if that was really
the case, then you wouldn't
know that, would you?
Mia:
You'd have no idea at all
what he was wearing
underneath that jacket!
Mia:
Mr. Wright...
You've been lying to me!
Phoenix:
...
P-P-P-Please forgive me!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Grossberg:
Mia!
You've made our client cry!
Mia:
Let him! That "P" on his
chest doesn't stand for
Phoenix anyways!
Mia:
I can't believe I trusted him!
Mr. Wright was all wrong!
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee.
That was an impressive bit
of cross-examination.
Mia:
...!
Payne:
Thank you for uncovering
the defendant's lies for me.
Payne:
It's quite clear that this man
did not simply "stumble upon"
the scene of the crime!
Phoenix:
Uggghhh...
Mia:
(Uh oh...
Did I go too far?)
Payne:
By the way, Mr. Wright.
Payne:
You seem to have a rather bad
cold. Have you taken any
medicine for it?
Phoenix:
I, err, umm...
Yeah, I took some but...
Payne:
Was the medicine that you
took an over-the-counter brand
called "Coldkiller X"?
Phoenix:
Yeah, that's right!
It kills colds good!
Phoenix:
Hey, wait a second...
Phoenix:
How did you know I'm a big
fan of Coldkiller X...?
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Would you happen to have that
medicine with you right now?
Phoenix:
Well...
Actually, I seem to have
lost it somewhere...
Mia:
(He lost it?
Does this even have anything
to do with the case...?)
Payne:
Mr. Wright...
Payne:
Shall I tell you where your
cold medicine is right now?
Phoenix:
Huh...?
Payne:
Your Honor! I'd like you to
take a look at another photo
from the crime scene!
Judge:
Wh-What's this!
In the victim's hand, it's...
Judge:
It's Coldkiller X...!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Y-Yes, but even I've got a
bottle of Coldkiller X in my
apartment!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that
argument won't work.
Payne:
There's no doubt as to who
this bottle of Coldkiller X
belonged to.
Payne:
Especially since Mr. Wright's
fingerprints were all over it!
Mia:
Wh-What!?
Payne:
Sensing his murderous intent,
Mr. Swallow must have picked
up the bottle of medicine...
Payne:
...dropped by Mr. Wright and
hid it in his hand.
Payne:
His purpose in doing so can
only have been to identify his
killer as Phoenix Wright!
Judge:
Order! Order in the court!
Payne:
Your Honor!
I'd like to present this photo
and bottle as evidence!
Judge:
Very well.
The court will accept them
into the record.
*Crime Photo 2 added to
the Court Record.*
*Coldkiller X added to
the Court Record.*
Payne:
Also, the victim's
wristwatch was broken.
Judge:
Broken...?
Payne:
Yes, it ceased functioning
when a large wave of
electricity passed through it.
Payne:
Well, Mr. Wright!
Do you have some kind of
explanation for all of this!?
Phoenix:
Uggghhh...
Mia:
(This is really bad...)
Grossberg:
Oh, my buttocks...
My poor, poor hemorrhoids...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What Really Happened --
(1)
Phoenix:
The truth is...
I went because he called me.
(2)
Phoenix:
He was in the Pharmacology
Dept., so we agreed to meet at
2:45 behind that building...
(3)
Phoenix:
We talked for a bit, and then
at around 3:00, we split up.
(4)
Phoenix:
Then later when I went back,
I found him lying there.
(5)
Phoenix:
I'd been taking Coldkiller X for
the last 2 or 3 days...
(6)
Phoenix:
But I lost my bottle of it
around lunchtime on the day
of the accident.
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Mr. Wright! That's completely
different than the testimony
you gave previously!
Phoenix:
*achoo* *achoo* *achoo*
Phoenix:
I-I'm sorry, Your Honor!
I was afraid you wouldn't
believe the truth!
Payne:
You'll forgive me if I say
I hardly find your current
testimony any more credible.
Judge:
Hmm...
Ms. Fey, please begin your
cross-examination.
Mia:
(Oh please, Mr. Wright...
Don't tell any more lies.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What Really Happened --
(1)
Phoenix:
The truth is...
I went because he called me.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Had you ever met the victim
before then?
Phoenix:
No! Never!
...
But...
Phoenix:
That day, he called me up and
told me he wanted to talk
about Dollie.
Judge:
And this "Dollie" person
is...?
Phoenix:
My um...
It's kind of embarrassing.
She's my, umm, sweetheart...
Grossberg:
Oomph...!
Wh-What...
What was that for, Mia!?
Mia:
Oh! I'm so sorry! I just felt
like slapping something all
of a sudden!
Payne:
Dahlia Hawthorne was also
the lover of the murder
victim, Doug Swallow.
Payne:
...Before she met
Mr. Wright, that is.
Judge:
Hmm...
So it was one of those nasty
love triangles, I see...
(2)
Phoenix:
He was in the Pharmacology
Dept., so we agreed to meet at
2:45 behind that building...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Was it Mr. Swallow who
indicated you should meet at
2:45?
Phoenix:
Yeah. And we were both there
right on time.
Judge:
Hmm...
You said the victim was in the
Pharmacology Dept., correct?
Phoenix:
Yeah, he was studying how to
manufacture and improve
pharmaceuticals.
Phoenix:
Everyone called him the
"Alchemist of Ivy U".
Judge:
An "alchemist"... I see...
Phoenix:
I gotta admit it was a little
suspicious. He had a whole
laboratory and everything!
Phoenix:
It was filled with chemicals
and strange machines that run
on high-voltage electricity.
Judge:
Ho ho. How fascinating.
He sounds like he was quite
an ambitious young man.
Mia:
(What do I do!?
Maybe I should ask him for
some more details?)
*** About timing of the meeting ************
*
* Mia:
* So you are absolutely
* certain that you met at 2:45?
*
* Phoenix:
* Yeah, pretty sure.
* That's the time class ends.
*
* Phoenix:
* But they're always doing
* experiments, so it doesn't
* matter much.
*
* Mia:
* Experiments...?
*
* Phoenix:
* Yeah. Those pharmacology
* guys are always in the lab
* whipping up something.
*
* Mia:
* (Well, it looks like he's
* right about the time anyway.)
*
* Payne:
* Witness, let's go on with
* your testimony.
*
********************************************
*** About Pharmacology Dept. ***************
*
* Mia:
* I was wondering if you could
* tell us a bit more about the
* Pharmacology Department.
*
* Phoenix:
* Well OK, sure.
* I don't know all that much
* though.
*
* Mia:
* A little bit earlier in your
* testimony, you said something
* interesting.
*
* Mia:
* You said the department uses
* strange machines that run on
* high-voltage electricity.
*
* Phoenix:
* That's right.
* And they sure look dangerous.
*
* Phoenix:
* They use non-standard
* voltages, so there are high-
* voltage cables everywhere.
*
* Mia:
* "High-voltage cables"...
*
* Phoenix:
* Yeah, there were electrical
* poles set up all around the
* building.
*
* Phoenix:
* The high-voltage cables run
* overhead around the roof.
*
* Mia:
* (Finally I think we're
* getting somewhere...!)
*
********************************************
*** Forget about it ************************
*
* Mia:
* (I've gotten everything I need
* from this statement. It's time
* to move on.)
*
* Payne:
* In any case, let's continue
* with your testimony.
*
********************************************
(3)
Phoenix:
We talked for a bit, and then
at around 3:00, we split up.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So what was it you were
talking about?
Phoenix:
You know... *achoo* *cough*
That maybe we should hang out
again sometime.
Mia:
("Hang out again sometime"?
I wish that were true.)
(4)
Phoenix:
Then later when I went back,
I found him lying there.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So you say you went back...
Phoenix:
Umm, yeah.
That's when I found the body.
Mia:
Yes, but why did you go back
in the first place?
Weren't you angry with him?
Phoenix:
Well, th-that's right, I was.
Phoenix:
...
Mia:
Then why, Mr. Wright?
Why did you go back there?
Phoenix:
...
Phoenix:
Umm...
I thought maybe we could
make up.
Mia:
...
Payne:
...
Judge:
...
Phoenix:
...
*achoo* *achoo*
Mia:
(Judging by the atmosphere...
I'm pretty sure no one is
buying this.)
(5)
Phoenix:
I'd been taking Coldkiller X for
the last 2 or 3 days...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
It's rather unusual to catch a
cold this time of the year,
isn't it?
Phoenix:
Yeah, I always get a little
careless when the weather
starts to warm up.
Phoenix:
I guess I shouldn't sleep
with the window open
this early in spring, huh?
Mia:
(I suppose common sense
is not always common...)
Mia:
So...
Did anyone else know that you
were taking cold medicine?
Phoenix:
Well, I always took one
after meals...
Phoenix:
So I'm pretty sure all my
friends knew about it.
(6)
Phoenix:
But I lost my bottle of it
around lunchtime on the day
of the accident.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
On the day of the incident,
what did you do for lunch...?
Phoenix:
Huh? What does that have
to do with anything?
Mia:
You can never be too sure...
Phoenix:
I always eat with Dollie...
Just the two of us.
Phoenix:
Dollie's homemade lunches are
just the greatest!
Phoenix:
Mmm! Her mini-omelettes are
magically delicious!
Eheh heh heh.
Grossberg:
Yeowch!!
Wh-Why did you punch me in
the jaw!?
Mia:
Oh! I-I'm so sorry...!
I just felt like hurting
someone all of a sudden!
--------------------------------------------
Grossberg:
Well, Mia?
Mia:
I don't know...
Mia:
I can't seem to find any
contradictions.
Grossberg:
The boy isn't exactly what
I'd call a natural-born liar,
you know.
Grossberg:
But still, we can't have him
continue to spout nonsense.
Mia:
I know... But what can I do!?
Grossberg:
Well, I'm certain he must
still be hiding something.
Grossberg:
Information! Right now it's
information we need more
than anything else!
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*After pressing at (2) [+ second choice] and (6)*
Judge:
I think that's enough for now.
Judge:
So the defendant and the
victim met at approximately
the time of his death.
Judge:
And then the defendant
returned to the scene for some
unknown reason.
Payne:
I'm not entirely convinced by
his explanation about the
medicine bottle either.
Judge:
Let me be frank here,
Mr. Wright.
Judge:
Your testimony cannot be
trusted.
Phoenix:
Wh-What do you mean!?
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Payne:
I knew it was too much work
for a little girl.
Mia:
Hmph...!
Judge:
However, there is one
mystery that still remains.
Payne:
There is, Your Honor?
Judge:
How the murder was
carried out, of course.
Judge:
Just how was the victim
electrocuted?
Judge:
I don't believe the murder
weapon has been produced yet,
correct?
Payne:
Well, that is... I...
You are correct, Your Honor.
Mia:
(So how exactly was
Mr. Swallow killed...?)
Mia:
(If I could somehow establish
how it was done...)
Mia:
(Maybe I could still come out
of this mess smelling like a
rose!)

Mia:
Your Honor!
Judge:
Y-Yes, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
I believe that if we were to
piece together everything
we've heard up until now...
Mia:
...we should be able to solve
the mystery of how
Mr. Swallow died.
Judge:
Th-That would be most
impressive!
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Quite the brash statement
coming from a rookie!
Payne:
But even a beginner like you
must understand the basic
rules of the court, yes?
Payne:
An attorney must be able to
substantiate their arguments
with evidence!
Mia:
Hmph! Of course I know that!
(Actually, I had totally
forgotten about that...)
Judge:
Now then, Ms. Fey.
Let me see what you've got.
Judge:
Show me how you believe
the victim was electrocuted!
*** Present something wrong ****************

*
* Grossberg:
* To be honest, I'm a bit

Mia:
As for the cause of
death...
Mia:
...I'd say this picture
captures it quite well!
Judge:
Wh-What!?
Judge:
But there is nothing that
even remotely resembles
a murder weapon here...
Judge:
Hmm, I'm afraid the defense is
going to have to explain this
in a bit more detail.
Judge:
Ms. Fey, where exactly in this
photo is the murder weapon?
*** Present anywhere else ******************
*
* Mia:
* Well naturally...

********************************************
*Present severed electrical cable*
Mia:
Well, naturally...
it's right here!
Judge:
That's... That's...
What is that?
Mia:
A severed electrical cable,
I believe... Your Honor.
Mia:
Remember the testimony
we've heard.
Mia:
The machines the pharmacology
students use in their experi-
ments require high voltage...
Mia:
...and because of that, there
are special high-voltage
cables strung up everywhere!
Judge:
So then, the high-voltage
cable...!
Mia:
Yes, the high-voltage cable is
the cause of death. That is
the most likely explanation!
Judge:
Hmm...
That certainly sounds
plausible.
Judge:
Well, Mr. Payne? What do you
have to say about this?
Payne:
Well... I believe some praise
is in order.
Mia:
Don't toy with me, old man!
Payne:
Now, now. The victim's cause
of death may indeed have been
a high-voltage cable.
Payne:
However!
I want you to think about
what that really implies!
Payne:
The only one who had the
opportunity to use the cable
as a murder weapon was...
Payne:
The defendant!
Phoenix:
...
*achoo*
Judge:
Hmm...
That much is certainly true.
Payne:
Yes, and that's not all.
We have proof.
Payne:
Irrefutable proof that will
establish that Mr. Wright
was the murderer.
Judge:
Y-You do!? Well, what is it!?
Payne:
His fingerprints.
Judge:
Fingerprints...?
Judge:
You mean that the defendant's
fingerprints were on something
besides the medicine bottle?
Payne:
Let's take another look at the
crime scene photo.
Payne:
As you can see, the victim is
wearing a leather jacket.
Payne:
And as you may know, leather
holds fingerprints quite well.
Mia:
Ah!
Y-You mean...?
Payne:
Yes. It was quite clearly
imprinted on the chest
area of the victim's jacket.
Payne:
The palm print of the
defendant's very own hand!
Judge:
Wh-Whaaat!?
Payne:
I can only think of one way
Mr. Wright could have left
a print like that.
Payne:
Intent on murder, he squarely
pushed the victim towards the
severed electrical cable!
Judge:
Order! Order! Order!
That's enough!
Judge:
I think we can conclude that
there is no reason to continue
with this cross-examination.
Grossberg:
Stick a fork in us, we're
done.
Mia:
M-Mr. Grossberg!
Grossberg:
My hemorrhoids never lie.
The show is over, Mia.
Grossberg:
I knew that boy was guilty the
first time I saw him.
Mia:
N-No! You're wrong!
Mia:
Mr. Wright is innocent.
Judge:
No further evidence is
required to convince me of
this man's guilt!
Mia:
Y-Your Honor...!
Judge:
At this time, I am prepared to
render a verdict in this case!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Judge:
Do you have something
further to add, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
Is this what you want,
Mr. Wright!?
Phoenix:
...!
Mia:
You still haven't told us
the truth... the whole truth.
Mia:
If you don't say something
now, the judge is going to
hand down his verdict!
Phoenix:
B-But I... I can't!
I-I just can't say it!
Phoenix:
If I told you what really
happened, then I'd b-be...
Mia:
It's OK, Mr. Wright.
I'm your attorney.
You can trust me.
Phoenix:
M-Miss Fey...
Mia:
No matter what it is you have
to say...
Mia:
I believe in you and I'll
represent you to the very end.
Phoenix:
...!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
We've already established
the defendant's guilt.
Payne:
There's no further need for
him to say anything.
Phoenix:
*cough* *cough*
Phoenix:
W-Wait a minute!
Mia:
Mr. Wright...
Phoenix:
I...
I'll tell you what really
happened!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
But I've already told you,
Mr. Wright. There's no need
for further...
Phoenix:
*cough*
Phoenix:
I-I-I... I did it...
I admit it!
I pushed him!
Phoenix:
It's my fault...
My f-fault that D-Doug Swallow
is dead!
--------------------------------------------
That girl...
You shouldn't see her anymore.
Hey!
It's none of your business!
I'm telling you for your sake.
If you continue to see her,
it's going to be bad news.
Y-You're lying!
Just listen to me.
There's something you need
to know about that girl... ...
Stop it!
D-Don't talk about her like
that!
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
...
What you just said...
Was that the truth!?
Phoenix:
Y-Yes, I... I was afraid...
Afraid that if I told the
truth...
Phoenix:
...everyone would think I was
the murderer for sure!
Judge:
Well, as things currently
stand, we're all absolutely
convinced you are!
Phoenix:
P-Please...!
Phoenix:
Please give me one more
chance to explain!
Phoenix:
This time I swear...
I swear I'll tell the whole
truth!
Phoenix:
It'll be OK, won't it,
Miss Fey? I...
I believe in you!
Mia:
Oh! Um, th-thank you.
Mia:
(I still can't believe it...
He really did push the
victim...)
Grossberg:
Unnngh...
It feels like my hemorrhoids
are doing the Harlem Shake!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- When I Pushed The Victim --
(1)
Phoenix:
That guy... He was talking
bad about Dollie...
(2)
Phoenix:
I lost my temper and gave
him a shove!
(3)
Phoenix:
At that moment, I heard
some kind of loud noise...
(4)
Phoenix:
A little while after I left,
I started to get worried.
(5)
Phoenix:
So I went back. But h-he
was just laying there, d-dead!
--------------------------------------------
Payne:
Well, the explanation is
really quite simple.
Payne:
When you pushed him,
Mr. Swallow flew back and
touched the electrical cable.
Payne:
He died from the shock.
And that, as they say, is
that.
Judge:
Hmm... A simple explanation
indeed.
Payne:
At the time of the incident,
a light rain had been falling.
Payne:
Wet from the rain, the victim
was more easily electrocuted.
Phoenix:
B-But!
Phoenix:
When I pushed him, there
weren't any electrical cables
nearby!
Phoenix:
If there had been something
like that, even I would've
noticed it!
Mia:
(That's true...
Even a dufus like him couldn't
miss that!)
Judge:
Hmm...
Ms. Fey.
Judge:
Let me warn you right now that
if your cross-examination
doesn't yield any new facts...
Judge:
...I intend to deliver my
verdict without further delay.
Are we clear on that?
Mia:
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
Mia:
(Don't give up, Mia!)
Mia:
(If he is innocent, there must
be some kind of evidence
somewhere that will prove it!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- When I Pushed The Victim --
(1)
Phoenix:
That guy... He was talking
bad about Dollie...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So what kinds of things did
Mr. Swallow say to you?
Phoenix:
He said all sorts of terrible
things about Dollie!
Phoenix:
He said that she was a
bad girl!
Payne:
...
Mia:
...
Judge:
...
Umm...
Is that all?
Phoenix:
Yup!
Judge:
Well, Ms. Fey, you
heard him yourself.
Mia:
(Oh boy! You're not doing
yourself any favors here,
Mr. Wright!)
Mia:
(Please don't make this harder
for me than it already is!)
Phoenix:
Anyway... After he said that,
I just, I just...
(2)
Phoenix:
I lost my temper and gave
him a shove!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Can you tell me about what
happened in a little more
detail?
Phoenix:
That guy... He just said what
he wanted to say to me...
Phoenix:
And then he put on the jacket
he was holding and started
to leave.
Phoenix:
That's when... That's when I
lost my temper and flew into
a furious frenzy!
Phoenix:
I just gave him a... light,
gentle shove to the chest.
Mia:
And when you did that, there
was no severed cable anywhere
to be seen?
Phoenix:
Right! There was nothing
like that at all!
Payne:
But is it possible that you
merely overlooked it?
Phoenix:
...
Well, I guess it's possible.
Mia:
(What are you doing!? Don't
let that guy steamroll over
you like cheap asphalt!)
Judge:
I believe what's important
here is the moment the
push occurred.
Judge:
Let's continue on with the
testimony, witness.
(3)
Phoenix:
At that moment, I heard some
kind of loud noise...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
A "loud noise"?
And what would you say that
loud noise was, Mr. Wright?
Phoenix:
I'm not sure...
But it was really loud!
Phoenix:
It was like, "SNAP!"...
You know, come to think of it,
I wonder what that was...
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Payne:
Clearly, Your Honor, it was
the sound of the victim being
electrocuted.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Y-You're not qualified to
decide that!
Mia:
(What should I do?
I'm treading on some
dangerous ground here...)
*** Ask for more details *******************
*
* Mia:
* Mr. Wright, that "loud noise"

*
* Mia:
* So try to remember what it

* Phoenix:
* Umm, how do I put it...
* It was like a sharp crack.
*
* Phoenix:
* Aha! Could it...
* Could it have been...?
*
* Mia:
* Yes?
* Could it have been?
* Hurry up and tell us!
*
* Phoenix:
* When I pushed him, he dropped

*
* Phoenix:
* He fell right on top of it,

* Phoenix:
* That was probably the noise

*
* Phoenix:
* Yeah, it was a plastic

*
* Phoenix:
* Then again, I wish I had any

* *
* * Mia:
* * I want to officially have it

(3b)
Phoenix:
After I shoved him, he...
He fell down on top of his
cheap umbrella.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So Mr. Swallow fell on top of
his umbrella?
And you are certain of this?
Phoenix:
Yeah.
It was right there under him.
Phoenix:
Actually, if it hadn't been
under him, I was planning on
borrowing it for myself.
Mia:
The umbrella, you mean?
Phoenix:
Well yeah, you see I was
wearing this sweater here...
Phoenix:
Dollie stayed up late for
nights at a time knitting
it for me...
Phoenix:
I didn't want the rain to
dampen the handmade symbol
of her love...
Grossberg:
Oomph! My stomach is not
to be used as your personal
soccer ball, Mia!
Mia:
Ah! I-I'm so sorry!
Judge:
Continue on with your
testimony, witness.
(4)
Phoenix:
A little while after I left,
I started to get worried.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
After you shoved the victim,
did you leave the scene right
away?
Phoenix:
Yes, I did! I admit it!
I-I was furious!
Payne:
You left without even checking
Mr. Swallow's condition?
Phoenix:
Well, um, yeah...
But like I said, I got worried
about him later.
(5)
Phoenix:
So I went back. But h-he
was just laying there, d-dead!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
At that time, did you see
anyone else at the scene of
the crime?
Phoenix:
*cough* *cough*...
*cough* *cough* *cough*
Um, nope. Nobody...
Mia:
(Geez. Could that stupid
cough possibly sound any
phonier?)
Judge:
Hmm...
Judge:
In that case, it's very hard
to believe someone else could
have been the murderer...
--------------------------------------------
Grossberg:
Unless we can find something
that shows his innocence from
that testimony, m'dear...
Grossberg:
I'm afraid the judge will make
his final decision with
no remorse whatsoever!
Mia:
Y-Yes, sir!
Mia:
(Right now I need more info;
info that will help me turn
up some contradictions!)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Present Crime Photo 1* at (3b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Why didn't you testify about
the umbrella from the very
beginning?
Phoenix:
Come on...
If I had mentioned that...
Mia:
I would've been able to
counter the prosecution's
arguments earlier!
Payne:
Wh-What do you mean by that?
Mia:
Take another look at the crime
scene photo!
Mia:
According to Mr. Wright, the
victim fell on top of his
umbrella.
Mia:
However, if you look
closely...
Mia:
...the umbrella is nowhere
near the victim. Actually,
it's by the electrical pole!
Judge:
Y-You're absolutely right!
Mia:
The conclusion here is
obvious.
Mia:
After the defendant left, the
victim moved from where he
fell. In other words...
Mia:
After he was pushed by
the defendant, Mr. Swallow
was still alive!
Payne:
Nnnnooooo!!
Judge:
Order! Order! Order!
The victim... He moved...!?
Judge:
Mr. Payne!
The umbrella in this photo...
Where is it now?
Payne:
W-Well, it was collected by
the police at the crime
scene...
Judge:
I want it presented as
evidence immediately!
*Umbrella added to the
Court Record.*
Payne:
B-But the umbrella could
have simply been blown
there by the wind!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
According to the testimony,
the victim fell on top of the
umbrella.
Mia:
There's simply no way it
could have been blown there
by the wind!
Payne:
Nnn... Gggg... Hrrmph!
B-B-But...!
Judge:
I know this matter of the
umbrella seems relatively
trivial...
Judge:
But as long as the smallest
doubt remains, I cannot
render final judgment!
Payne:
N-N-N...
Payne:
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
However, I still find it hard
to believe that a huge hole
has been blown in the...
Judge:
...prosecution's case by the
defendant's testimony.
*Phoenix's Testimony added
to the Court Record.*
Grossberg:
Well done, Mia!
Payne:
......Hee hee.
Hee hee hee hee hee...
Judge:
Mr. Payne!
What are you chuckling about?
Payne:
Pardon me, Your Honor.
It seems I was expecting too
much of a free ride.
Payne:
It was foolish to think I
could establish guilt through
cross-examination alone.
Judge:
I'm afraid I don't follow what
you're saying!
Mia:
...
Mia:
Let me guess.
You have another witness.
Payne:
Exactly!
And this witness's testimony
will be incontrovertible!
Judge:
Well!? Who is this witness!?
Payne:
Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne.
Judge:
Dahlia Hawthorne?
You don't mean...
"Dollie"?
Payne:
I do, Your Honor.
Payne:
The defendant's very own
lover is a witness to the
whole thing!
Payne:
That's right. She was at the
scene of the crime when
the murder took place!
Judge:
Whaaaat!?
Payne:
I'm sorry to break the bad
news to you, my dear.
Mia:
...
Mia:
"Bad news"?
You couldn't be more wrong.
Mia:
Actually...
I've been waiting for this.
Payne:
You can't be serious...
Grossberg:
Mia!
What do you mean by that...?
Judge:
I think this is a good point
for us to stop at. Court will
now enter a 20 minute recess.
Judge:
Afterwards, we will listen to
the testimony of Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 11, 11:52 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3
Phoenix:
Miss Fey... I-I'm sorry
about what happened back
there... I... I...
Mia:
It's alright. At least you
told us the truth in the end,
Mr. Wright.
Phoenix:
Yeah...
So I guess I can start to
relax then, huh?
Grossberg:
Relax, my boy? You can't be
serious! After hiding such
important facts...
Phoenix:
B-But...!
But the next witness is my
Dollie, right?
Phoenix:
She'll save me!
I just know she will!
Mia:
Why do you think that?
Phoenix:
Huh!? What do you mean!?
She... She's the love of
my life, that's why!
Mia:
The love of your life, huh...
Mia:
Would you mind telling me more
about you and... Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne?
Phoenix:
Sure! No problem!
Phoenix:
Dollie and I... We first met
about eight months ago right
here in this very courthouse.
Phoenix:
Actually, I'm studying to be a
lawyer, on the side...
Anyway!
Phoenix:
One day, she and I just bumped
into each other in the reading
room downstairs.
Phoenix:
That's why I really think it
was fate that brought us
together.
Phoenix:
As soon as I first set eyes
on her, I knew she was the
one for me.
Phoenix:
Oh, here! Take a look at this!
Mia:
...!
Phoenix:
She gave this to me the day
we met as a symbol of our
love!
Phoenix:
She had been wearing it
around her neck that day,
but then...
Phoenix:
...she took it off, but before
she gave it to me she said,
"I want you to carry this."
Grossberg:
So she gave it to you as a
present, I see.
Phoenix:
This darling little bottle is
filled with memories of my
darling little Dollie!
Mia:
It certainly is a little
bottle alright.
Phoenix:
It makes me so happy, I
show it to everyone I meet!
Phoenix:
I want to share my happiness
with the whole world!
*Dahlia's Present borrowed
from Phoenix Wright.*
Mia:
Um, anyway...
Mia:
So after that, you and
Ms. Hawthorne started dating?
Phoenix:
Yeah, but she's so shy. Every
time I see her, she always
says the same thing to me.
Phoenix:
"Please give it back now."
Grossberg:
What a strange girl, asking
for a present back like
that...
Mia:
By the way, Mr. Wright.
Mia:
The day you first met Dahlia
Hawthorne, eight months ago...
Mia:
It wouldn't happen to have
been on August 27th, would it?
Phoenix:
Huh...?
Y-Yeah, it was...
But how did you...?
Mia:
This happened on August 27th,
right here in this courthouse.
Phoenix:
What's this?
A newspaper clipping?
Phoenix:
Let's see...
"Murder in the Courthouse?"
M-Murder?
Grossberg:
What are you reading there!?
Let me see that!
Grossberg:
.........!
Oh, I see.
Grossberg:
Mia... I think I understand
what you're trying to say.
Grossberg:
And I think I understand why
you suddenly took such a
keen interest in this case.
Grossberg:
You believe there is some
relationship between these
two cases. Am I correct?
*Newspaper Clipping added
to the Court Record.*
Mia:
I hope you don't mind,
Mr. Grossberg...
Mia:
I... I need to finish this
myself.
Grossberg:
Ah, yes, but... I'm afraid
what you have will not be
enough, m'dear.
Grossberg:
I'll go and have a look at the
downstairs reading room and
see what else I can find.
Mia:
Th-Thank you!
Grossberg:
I want to do whatever I can to
be of help to you, Mia!
Grossberg:
Well, it looks like recess is
about over. We'd better all
get moving!
Mia:
(I guess so...)
Mia:
(That recess sure seemed
longer than 20 minutes
though...)
To be continued.

April 11, 12:13 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2
Judge:
Court will now reconvene.
Mr. Payne, please call your
witness.
Payne:
This next person is someone
who witnessed the crime as
it happened.
Payne:
The prosecution calls
Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne
to the stand!
--------------------------------------------
Payne:
...
Judge:
...
Mia:
(Wh-What's with this stiff
silence...?)
Judge:
In my long career as a judge,
I have been deceived by many
witnesses.
Judge:
It's my job to doubt;
to take no one at
their word...
Judge:
But in your case, I must
admit that you radiate a
glow of complete sincerity.
Mia:
(I can't believe he actually
said that!)
Payne:
Oh! Um, now then, witness.
Could you please state your
full name?
Dahlia:
...
I, umm...
Judge:
Don't worry, sweetie.
There's no need to be nervous!
Payne:
If anyone says anything rude,
you can be sure, I'll cut them
right down to size!
Judge:
And I will bash them
with my gavel!
Mia:
(I love how they look straight
at me when they say that...)
Dahlia:
Um, thank you... for calming
my nerves.
Dahlia:
You are all so nice...
I almost feel right at home.
Payne:
Not at all!
Judge:
It was nothing!
Mia:
If we may move on now...
What is your full name
and occupation?
Dahlia:
My name is Dahlia Hawthorne.
Dahlia:
I'm a junior in Literature
at Ivy University.
Dahlia:
I just want to say...
It's an honor for me to be
here in your noble presence.
Payne:
The honor is all mine!
Judge:
No... The honor is all mine.
Mia:
(Well, we know whose
milkshake brings all the
boys to the yard...)
Dahlia:
...Umm. Sir?
Payne:
Is there something I can
help you with?
Judge:
You just go on and say
whatever is on your mind!
Dahlia:
I'm sure that there must be
some kind of mistake.
Dahlia:
Feenie wouldn't kill anyone.
I just know it!
Judge:
Yes, yes...
I can see why you'd say that.
Mia:
(She's going to be a tough
witness, alright...)
Mia:
(It only took her 12 seconds
to wrap them all around
her little finger.)
Judge:
Now then, please proceed
with your testimony.
Judge:
Let's hear about what you
witnessed on the day of the
incident, if you please.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I Witnessed --
(1)
Dahlia:
I had been planning to go
back to Feenie's place after
class was over.
(2)
Dahlia:
Feenie and Dougie...
They were talking
behind the building.
(3)
Dahlia:
Then suddenly... Dougie got
all wobbly and just collapsed.
(4)
Dahlia:
That's when Feenie noticed
that I was there.
(5)
Dahlia:
I went to go and find some
other students and they
called the authorities.
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
I-I don't know what to say!
According to you,
Ms. Hawthorne...
Judge:
...the defendant didn't do
anything wrong!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Young lady.
Payne:
As old as I am, even I recall
how hot the flames of young
passion can burn.
Payne:
Nevertheless... It is my job
to discover the truth.
Payne:
Please, tell us the truth...
Dahlia:
But... But, I...
I would never...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
That's more than enough,
witness. I won't allow this
to continue.
Judge:
Wh-What do you mean by that?
Mia:
Please, just let me proceed
with my cross-examination,
Your Honor.
Mia:
I, for one, don't plan to win
my case on a bunch of
paper-thin lies!
Dahlia:
...Tee hee.
You haven't changed a bit...
Dahlia:
Mia Fey.
Mia:
...
Payne:
What's this?
So, you two are... acquainted?
Mia:
Yes.
We've met before... Once.
Dahlia:
...
Judge:
In any case, Ms. Fey,
the floor is all yours.
Dahlia:
It's good to see you again,
Madame Fey!
Mia:
"Madame"!?
(I'm no one's grandma yet,
girlie!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What I Witnessed --
(1)
Dahlia:
I had been planning to go
back to Feenie's place after
class was over.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Now, unless I'm mistaken,
Feenie -- I mean, Mr. Wright
is in the Art Department.
Mia:
If that's the case, then
what were you doing by
the Pharmacology building?
Dahlia:
Well... I'm in the Literature
Department. I'm studying
Japanese Senryu poetry.
Judge:
Oho hoh! How wonderful!
It's that humorous, yet
satirical style of haiku, yes?
Dahlia:
"Nothing left to do...
When a man reaches this age,
sleep is his best friend."
Mia:
(That's supposed to be poetry?
Sounds more like a mid-life
crisis!)
Dahlia:
For me to get to the Art
Department, I have to walk
through that back area.
Judge:
Ah, yes I see.
That makes sense.
Judge:
When I want to enter the
courthouse, I always walk
through the front doors.
Mia:
(How else would you enter?
Teleportation!?)
(2)
Dahlia:
Feenie and Dougie...
They were talking
behind the building.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So who is this "Dougie"
person?
Dahlia:
Oh, I'm sorry. Doug Swallow.
We were dating until about
eight months ago...
Mia:
So what were Dougie-- *ahem*
Mr. Swallow and Mr. Wright
talking about anyway?
Dahlia:
...
Dahlia:
H-How can you be so mean?
Dahlia:
I would never...
I would never eavesdrop...
Dahlia:
I wasn't raised to be so rude
and unrefined!
Payne:
That's right, Ms. Fey!
Judge:
Don't drag the witness down
to your level!
Mia:
(Why am I being demonized
here?)
Judge:
Please, go on.
What did you see next?
(3)
Dahlia:
Then suddenly... Dougie got
all wobbly and just collapsed.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Are you saying that the
victim just collapsed on
his own?
Dahlia:
Y-Yes.
Mia:
In other words, the defendant
never touched the victim.
Is that right?
Dahlia:
I was watching the whole time.
Feenie never did a thing to
Dougie!
Mia:
(If I press her for no good
reason, I just know the judge
will get angry with me...)
Mia:
(Hmm, so what should I do
about her testimony just now?)
*** Leave it alone *************************
*
* Mia:
* (Hmm... I suppose her
* statement works in
* our favor, for now.)
*
* Mia:
* (I'll hold off on looking
* into it any deeper until
* it's necessary.)
*
* Judge:
* Very well, young lady, please
* go on with your testimony.
*
********************************************
*** Show contradiction *********************
*
* Mia:
* Feeble lies are not very
* becoming, Ms. Hawthorne,
* so let's drop them, shall we?
*
* Dahlia:
* Wh-What...! I...!
* I would never...!
*
* Payne:
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* Payne:
* Ms. Fey! I will not allow
* you to badger this witness!
*
* Mia:
* ...
*
* Payne:
* I-I believe the defense is
* engaged in a-a... fishing
* expedition.
*
* Mia:
* ...
*
* Payne:
* That is... Err... She has no
* supporting...
*
* Mia:
* ...
*
* Payne:
* P-Please don't glare at
* me like that...!
* I-I'm just doing my job!
*
* Mia:
* Now then, Ms. Hawthorne.
*
* Mia:
* The defendant's palmprint
* was found on Mr. Swallow's
* leather jacket.
*
* Mia:
* It has already been shown that
* Mr. Wright did, in fact, push
* the victim.
*
* Dahlia:
* What...?
*
* Mia:
* There's no need to try to
* cover for the defendant.
*
* Mia:
* It would be much better if you
* came out and told us the whole
* truth.
*
* Judge:
* Hmm...
*
* Judge:
* There's nothing to worry
* about, young lady. Just tell
* us everything that you saw.
*
* Dahlia:
* Y-Yes, Your Honor... I-I will.
* If you don't mind, I-I'd like
* to revise my testimony.
*
* Mia:
* (Looks like we're finally
* getting somewhere...)
*
* CHANGE (3) TO (3b)
* CHANGE (4) TO (4b)
*
********************************************
(3b)
Dahlia:
Um, actually, I didn't see the
moment he pushed Dougie.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You didn't see it!?
Dahlia:
Well, I saw the moment when
Dougie fell to the ground...
Payne:
And at that time, there was
only the two of them at the
scene?
Payne:
The defendant, Phoenix Wright,
and the victim, Doug Swallow?
Dahlia:
Yes... that's right.
(4)
Dahlia:
That's when Feenie noticed
that I was there.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
And what did Mr. Wright say
when he saw you?
Dahlia:
I-I'm sorry.
I-I was so flustered that I...
Dahlia:
I really don't remember.
P-Please forgive me.
Mia:
You don't remember...?
Judge:
Well, that's common enough.
Judge:
Sometimes I can't recall a
sentence I passed only
minutes prior!
Mia:
(Please... Someone, anyone...
Stop him before he gets
hurt... by me.)
(4b)
Dahlia:
It didn't look like they were
fighting, and I didn't hear
any noise either.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So then, what did it look
like they were doing to you?
Dahlia:
I thought they were having a
nice, friendly afternoon
conversation.
Mia:
(Oh, give me a break!)
Dahlia:
That's why I really wasn't
watching them all that
closely.
Judge:
Did you notice anything out
of the ordinary at all?
Dahlia:
No, nothing at all...
Mr. Judge.
Judge:
Oh, I like the sound of that!
"Mr. Judge"...
Judge:
Now then, please proceed with
your testimony.
(5)
Dahlia:
I went to go and find some
other students and they
called the authorities.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
When you say "students"
do you mean students from the
Pharmacology Department?
Dahlia:
Yes. They're all very fond of
their drugs...
Mia:
Please try to stay on topic!
Mia:
So to find some Pharmacology
students, you went to the
labs, correct?
Dahlia:
That's what I was planning
to do... But in the end, I
wound up not going.
Dahlia:
A group of about 10 research
students came running
out of the building entrance.
Dahlia:
Somehow they all seemed to
know what was going on...
Mia:
(The students knew what
was going on...?)
*** Leave it alone *************************
*
* Mia:
* (The Pharmacology students...
* They have nothing to do with
* the incident.)
*
* Mia:
* (I think what I need is more
* information about Dahlia
* herself.)
*
********************************************
*** Press for more details *****************
*
* Mia:
* But how could the students
* have known what was going on?
*
* Dahlia:
* Well... I don't know for sure
* that they knew what had
* happened.
*
* Dahlia:
* It's just, they all seemed
* kind of excited about
* something.
*
* Mia:
* (Hmm... It doesn't look like
* I'm going to get any more
* info about the students.)
*
* Payne:
* So did the students call the
* police?
*
* Dahlia:
* Y-Yes. I-I was just so...
* I was so panicked...
*
* Judge:
* Hmm. Yes, well anyone would
* have been, my dear.
*

--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(That girl... She's telling
a super obvious lie, and
she knows it.)
Mia:
(She's just pretending to
protect Mr. Wright...)
Mia:
(Yes, that's got to be it!
Way to go, Mia!)
Mia:
(OK, that means I'm going to
have to dig deep to find the
contradiction on this one!)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Present Phoenix's Testimony* at (4b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
You say you didn't hear any
noise. Is that correct?
Dahlia:
Yes. That's why I was very
relaxed, looking at the
scenery around me.
Mia:
That's nice, but I find that
just a little odd.
Mia:
I have here, the testimony of
your boyfriend, Mr. Phoenix
Wright.
Mia:
And he clearly testified to
the effect...
Mia:
...that when he pushed the
victim, he heard a sharp,
loud noise.
Dahlia:
H-He said that?
Mia:
If you were really that close
to the two of them, why didn't
you hear this noise as well?
Dahlia:
I...!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
W-Well, maybe the noise just
wasn't all that memorable.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
But according to Mr. Wright's
testimony, it was a sharp
noise like a "SNAP"!
Mia:
There's no way a noise like
that could fail to make an
impression!
Payne:
Ack!!
Dahlia:
Umm...
May I have a moment
to answer?
Judge:
B-By all means!
Dahlia:
I know the reason why I
didn't hear the noise.
Dahlia:
You see, the truth is...
Dahlia:
I had my headphones on, and
I was listening to music at
the time.
Payne:
H-H-Headphones...?
You mean that both of your
ears were covered?
Dahlia:
The rain was just beginning
to let up...
Dahlia:
But it seemed as though Thor
wasn't ready for his fun to
come to an end yet.
Dahlia:
So the sky continued to flash
and rumble.
Mia:
Thunder and lightning, huh...
Dahlia:
Yes, I'm afraid of the sound
of thunder.
Dahlia:
So I put my headphones on
to block it out...
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Well, Your Honor?
Payne:
As you can see, there
weren't any contradictions
in her testimony after all.
Judge:
Hmm...
Mia:
(Wait a sec, Mia!
That testimony just now...)
Mia:
(She said something that
could totally change this
whole case!)
*** She didn't hear anything. **************
*
* Mia:
* Your Honor! There is
* a problem with the
* witness's testimony!
*
* Judge:
* Wh-What do you mean!?
*
* Payne:
* Wh-What is this "problem"!?
*
* Mia:
* It's obvious. The problem is
* that the witness claims to
* have not heard the "SNAP!"
*
* Payne:
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* Payne:
* A-Are you deaf!? Did you pay
* attention to the testimony!?
*
* Payne:
* She said she didn't hear it
* because she was listening to
* music with her headphones!
*
* Judge:
* Ms. Fey! I'm surprised you're
* going senile before me!
*
* Mia:
* (I'm not THAT bad!
* ...I think.)
*
* Judge:
* Well, the testimony we've
* just heard seems to be very
* decisive.
*
* Judge:
* The only one that could have
* killed the victim was the
* defendant, Mr. Phoenix Wright!
*
* Dahlia:
* N-No! Please...!
* I-I never meant to
* incriminate him!
*
* Mia:
* (This is bad, Mia! If you
* don't do something, we're
* going to lose this!!)

********************************************
Mia:
Your Honor! There is
a problem with the
witness's testimony!
Judge:
Wh-What do you mean!?
Mia:
Didn't you notice?
She said there was lightning,
correct?
Judge:
Yes... What about it?
Mia:
Well, lightning is actually a
large discharge of electricity
in the atmosphere, am I right?
Judge:
Now's not the time for a
science lesson, Ms. Fey!
Mia:
Yes, Your Honor. Anyway,
since the cause of death
was electrocution...
Mia:
...isn't it possible that the
victim died from being hit
by a bolt of lightning!?
Judge:
Oh!
Payne:
Ah!
Dahlia:
...!
Judge:
Hmm... I must admit that
the thought had not
occurred to me!
Mia:
(Just what kind of thoughts
DO occur to this guy anyway?)
Mia:
This entire case is built on
the premise that Mr. Doug
Swallow was "murdered"...
Mia:
...but that very premise
itself is mistaken!
Mia:
The defense believes that
Mr. Swallow was, in fact, the
victim of a stray bolt!
Judge:
I-It appears the defense
may be on to something!
Judge:
Could it be that the death
was actually accidental?
Mia:
(Alright, you did it, Mia!)
Mia:
(I'll be taking that "Not
Guilty" now if you don't--)
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...
Payne:
I'm hurt that you have such a
low opinion of me, Ms. Fey.
Mia:
Huh...?
Payne:
I'm not a fool, you know.
The prosecution has done its
research, Your Honor.
Payne:
We found that there were
no lightning strikes on
that day at that location!
Mia:
Whaaa!?
Payne:
What's more...
Payne:
We have evidence that the
electrical cable is definitely
linked to this case.
Judge:
E-Evidence, Mr. Payne!?
Well, what is this evidence?
Payne:
This affidavit.
Judge:
And who is this affidavit
from?
Payne:
The Pharmacology students who
were conducting experiments in
their labs that day.
Payne:
Allow me to read out to the
court the testimony of the
Pharmacology students.
Payne:
"All equipment in the labs
lost power all of a sudden at
around 3:00 PM that day."
Judge:
Was it a blackout?
Payne:
All of the labs' equipment
runs of high-voltage, Your
Honor.
Mia:
So you're saying the equipment
lost power because...
Payne:
Precisely.
They lost power because of
the severed electrical cable.
Payne:
The power outage occurred
at approximately 3:00 PM...
Judge:
Which fits with the time of
death listed in the autopsy
report.
Payne:
Exactly! In other words...
Payne:
The victim died as a result of
touching the severed
electrical cable.
Payne:
According to the students,
the cables were very old.
Payne:
They were planning on having
them replaced in the near
future.
Judge:
Hmm, I see...
Payne:
Apparently the cables had
become so brittle...
Payne:
...that even the smallest bump
would've caused them to break.
*Students' Testimony added
to the Court Record.*
Judge:
However...
There is one thing
that troubles me.
Judge:
If the cable could have been
broken by any small bump...
Judge:
...then it wouldn't have
snapped if it hadn't been
bumped into, correct?
Payne:
W-Well... I suppose you could
say that.
Judge:
Hmm, Ms. Fey.
Judge:
Do you have any thoughts
regarding the cause of the
severed cable?
Mia:
Y-Your Honor...
Mia:
(I don't like how this is
looking one bit!)
Mia:
(I have to come up with
something to try to regain
some momentum!)
Mia:
If it pleases the court, the
defense would like to state
its opinion.
Judge:
Well then, let's hear it.
Judge:
Who or what was it that
caused the cable to break?
*** Present something wrong ****************
*
* Mia:
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* Mia:
* This is it!
* This is why the cable snapped.
*
* Payne:
* Well, Your Honor?
*
* Judge:
* I believe that the only thing
* that has snapped is the mind
* of the defense.
*
* Payne:
* Ah, that was one of your best
* lines yet, Your Honor.
*
* Mia:
* Nnnfff...!
* (Ouch, that was harsh...)
*
* Mia:
* Please, Your Honor!
* Give me one more chance!
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
*Present Phoenix Wright profile*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
Your Honor.
Please think back to
Mr. Wright's testimony.
Judge:
The defendant's testimony?
Mia:
He said that after he pushed
the victim, he heard a loud,
sharp noise.
Mia:
Now, this happened at around
3:00 PM, correct?
Judge:
Yes, that sounds right.
Wait! Are you saying that...
Mia:
The lab equipment lost power
at 2:55 PM... which fits right
in Mr. Wright's timeline.
Mia:
In other words, it was
Mr. Wright's shove that
caused the power outage.
Payne:
Yes!
The prosecution also came
to that same conclusion.
Payne:
And it was that very shove
that caused Mr. Swallow to be
electrocuted!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
I'm afraid I can't agree with
you there, Mr. Payne.
Payne:
Wh-What's that supposed
to mean?
Mia:
Take a good look at where
the victim landed after being
shoved.
Mia:
See the umbrella?
It's by the electrical pole.
Mia:
That's right. The victim
banged into that pole as a
result of being pushed.
Mia:
It was that impact that caused
the cable to break.
Judge:
Hmm... Well, that makes sense.
And then the victim was
electrocuted.
Mia:
I'm sorry Your Honor, but no.
It doesn't make sense at all.
Mia:
If the victim was shoved into
the far pole...
Mia:
...then he couldn't have been
electrocuted by this severed
cable in the foreground here!
Payne:
AAAAAAAAAAHH!!
Mia:
In other words...
Mia:
Someone other than my client
must have electrocuted the
victim!
Judge:
Order!
Order in the court!
Mia:
(Ah, the lamentations of
my enemy. How I've longed
to hear them!)
Judge:
It-It's true...
The defense is
absolutely correct!
Judge:
There doesn't seem to be any
way the defendant could have
done it--
Dahlia:
Umm...
Mr. Judge, sir?
May I say something?
Dahlia:
The madame attorney's
explanation...
Dahlia:
She said some things that are
a little different than I
remember them.
Judge:
Wh-Wh-
Payne:
Wh-Wh-
Mia:
What the...!?
Dahlia:
Please, just once more.
Dahlia:
May I please testify one
last time?
Please... Mr. Judge?
Judge:
Of course it's alright!
Judge:
Just go right ahead and give
your new testimony!
Mia:
(This is it...)
Mia:
(She's finally starting to
show her true colors!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I Witnessed, Part 2 --
(1)
Dahlia:
The truth is...
Feenie pushed him twice.
(2)
Dahlia:
The first time was into the
electrical pole.
That's when the cable broke.
(3)
Dahlia:
Then Dougie tried his best
to run away from him...
(4)
Dahlia:
But Feenie caught up and
crashed into him from behind.
(5)
Dahlia:
The cable snapping, and Dougie
being electrocuted -- it all
occured in less than a minute.
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm...
So after being shoved...
Judge:
...the victim got up and
tried to run away.
Payne:
And that is when the
defendant pushed him for the
second time.
Dahlia:
I'm so sorry, Feenie...
But I... I just have to tell
the truth.
Dahlia:
Am I doing the right thing?
Am I, Mr. Judge?
Dahlia:
Of course you are, my dear!
As painful as it may seem,
you are.
Judge:
Now then, Ms. Fey.
You may proceed with your
cross-examination!

Dahlia:
The truth is...
Feenie pushed him twice.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Ms. Hawthorne...
Previously in your testimony
you said the following...
Mia:
"Actually, I didn't see the
moment he pushed Dougie."
Dahlia:
I know... I-I'm sorry.
I wanted to protect Feenie.
Mia:
So that's why you basically
lied to the court?
Dahlia:
I was a bad girl... I know...
Um, Mr. Judge?
Judge:
Y-Yes?
Dahlia:
Would you please, please
forgive little old me?
Mia:
Of course he won't!
What you did is called
"perjury"...
Judge:
Oh, come now!
It was just a little old
white lie!
Judge:
We'll forget it this time!
But please be more careful
from now on, alright?
Dahlia:
Oh, thank you so much,
Mr. Judge.
Judge:
Not at all!
Ho ho ho...!
Mia:
(The judge had better be more
careful himself! A dark alley
is friendlier than that girl!)
(2)
Dahlia:
The first time was into the
electrical pole.
That's when the cable broke.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You're saying you actually saw
the victim get pushed into the
electrical pole?
Dahlia:
I know he doesn't look it, but
Feenie can be a bit of an imp
when he wants to be.
Mia:
(Oh, really...?)
Dahlia:
But I never imagined that he
would cause an electrical
cable to break...
Dahlia:
Feenie really is scary
when he gets mad...
Judge:
Yes, he sounds like a very
dangerous individual indeed.
(3)
Dahlia:
Then Dougie tried his best
to run away from him...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So let me get this straight.
Mia:
You were happily listening to
music on your headphones while
you watched this scene unfold?
Dahlia:
Waaaaah...
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Ms. Fey! I'll have to ask you
to stop badgering the witness!
Dahlia:
Umm... I wasn't happy...
I was so scared that I
couldn't even move.
Dahlia:
All I could do was stand there
and cheer them on...
Mia:
Ch-Cheer them on?
What do you mean by that?
Dahlia:
Well, I wished the best for
them both, and that they would
each give the fight their all.
Judge:
Hmm...
That's very sweet of you
to be so supportive.
Payne:
And what happened after that?
(4)
Dahlia:
But Feenie caught up and
crashed into him from behind.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
That doesn't sound quite
right...
Mia:
There were handprints found
on the chest of the victim's
leather jacket.
Mia:
Mr. Payne, were there also
prints found on the back of
his leather jacket?
Payne:
W-Well, um...
N-No, there weren't...
Dahlia:
Madame Fey, may I suggest
that you listen a little more
carefully?
Mia:
...!?
Dahlia:
I said that he "crashed" into
him from behind, right?
Dahlia:
My Feenie wouldn't leave any
prints behind in that case,
would he?
Mia:
Unngghh...
(5)
Dahlia:
The cable snapping, and Dougie
being electrocuted -- it all
occured in less than a minute.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Did you actually witness the
moment the victim was
electrocuted?
Dahlia:
I-I'm sorry.
I didn't actually see it.
Dahlia:
I... I turned my eyes away...
Payne:
That's understandable.
Judge:
Yes indeed. It would have
been a horrific sight for
anyone to behold.
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(If I don't figure out the
contradiction here...)
Mia:
(...it's all over!)
Mia:
(She didn't have much time
to come up with her lie, so
this is my best chance.)
Mia:
(There must be a hole in her
testimony somewhere!
Think, Mia!)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

*Present Crime Photo 2 or Students' Testimony* at (5)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
That's enough, witness.
Dahlia:
I'm afraid I don't
understand...
Mia:
You will in a minute.
Could you please take a look
at this picture?
Dahlia:
Oh. That medicine...
That's the one Feenie likes
to take for his cold.
Mia:
It's not the medicine I want
you to look at...
Mia:
It's the wristwatch.
Mia:
It stopped at the precise time
the victim was electrocuted.
Mia:
In other words... 3:05 PM.
Judge:
Yes, and your point is,
Ms. Fey...?
Mia:
My point is this!
Mia:
What time was it when the lab
suffered that power outage due
to the cable snapping?
Payne:
Well, according to the
students' testimony, the
answer is clear.
Payne:
It was 2:55 PM...
Yeeaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!
Mia:
Would you care to explain to
the court, Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne...
Mia:
...what exactly happened
during this 10 minute
interval!?
Dahlia:
...!
Mia:
The defense proposes that...
Mia:
...it was during this interval
that the real murderer killed
Mr. Doug Swallow!
Judge:
Or-Order! Order in the court!
What is this all ab--
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Th-This is nonsense!
The "real murderer"...!?
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Even you can't deny that the
time between the cable break-
ing and the electrocution...
Mia:
...are completely unaccounted
for!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Th-Then who was it!?
Who else are you saying
could've done it!?
Mia:
There's only one person
who could have murdered
Mr. Swallow.
Mia:
Only after my client
had left the scene...
Mia:
...was there a window of
opportunity for the real
killer!
Judge:
Ms. Fey.
Judge:
Is the defense ready to indict
someone as this "real killer"?
Mia:
(It's finally time.)
Mia:
(This is the moment I've
been waiting for.)
Mia:
Yes, Your Honor.
We are ready.
Judge:
Very well.
But remember!
Judge:
If you accuse the wrong
person, you will be penalized.
Judge:
Think very carefully before
you speak, Ms. Fey.
Judge:
Now then, Ms. Fey.
Let's have it.
Who is the "real killer"!?

*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
It could only have been you,
Dahlia Hawthorne!
Dahlia:
Waaaaah!
H-How... H-How can you...!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Th-The defense is grasping
at straws!
Mia:
Ten minutes passed between
the time the cable broke and
the time of the electrocution!
Mia:
What exactly were you
doing that whole time,
Ms. Hawthorne?
Mia:
Were you really listening to
some music while "cheering
them both on" as they fought?
Mia:
I find it hard to believe that
you didn't lift a finger to
stop the men "dearest" to you!
Judge:
Order! Order!
Ms. Fey!
Judge:
Wh-What... I mean, why...
That is to say...
Mia:
Ms. Hawthorne! I believe you
did witness the two men
fighting on that day. However!
Mia:
After Mr. Wright pushed the
victim, and subsequently left
the scene...
Mia:
...it was YOU who pushed
Mr. Swallow to his death
by your very own hands!
Dahlia:
AAAAAAAAHHH!!!
Dahlia:
H-How can you say something
so mean, Madame Fey...!
I... I didn't do anything...!
Judge:
Ms. Fey!
This is a very serious
charge you are--
Phoenix:
*HOLD IT!*
Phoenix:
Your Honor!
P-Please, I have something
I want to say!
Phoenix:
*achoo*
Judge:
Y-Y-You!
Wh-What is it!?
Phoenix:
Please... Please strike
everything the defense said
just now from the record!
Mia:
What the...!?
Are you daft!?
Phoenix:
You're totally wrong,
Miss Fey!
Phoenix:
Dollie...
She...
Phoenix:
She couldn't do something
like that!
Judge:
Mr. Wright!!
Get back in your seat!
Judge:
Bailiff!
Grab that man!
Phoenix:
Aaaarrgghh... *achoo* *achoo*
Leave my Dollie alone!
*achoo* *cough*

That boy...
Grossberg:
He's gotten himself in
way over his head.
Mia:
Oh...!
Mr. Grossberg! You're back!
Grossberg:
It seems I've arrived just
in the nick of time.
Grossberg:
I found the police report
on that incident in your
newspaper clipping!
*Police Report added
to the Court Record.*
Mia:
Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I was
hoping for!
Grossberg:
You'd better take a good
look at it...
Grossberg:
It... err... details how you
came to lose your boyfriend.
Judge:
Now then, the defense
has made a very serious
accusation.
Judge:
Mr. Payne, what do you have
to say about this?
Payne:
W-Well really, Your Honor...
I... I... That is I...
Dahlia:
May I interrupt you for
just a moment,
Mr. Prosecutor?
Payne:
Ah, don't you worry, my
dear. I have this situation
well in hand.
Dahlia:
...
...
*sniffle*
Payne:
Err, that is I... Um...
G-G-Go right ahead.
Dahlia:
Madame Fey, are you
seriously accusing me of
killing my sweet Dougie?
Mia:
Yes. I am.
Mia:
Not only am I saying you
murdered Doug Swallow...
Mia:
...but you also tried to pin
the whole thing on your
current lover, Phoenix Wright!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
I told you that you should
let me handle this...
Dahlia:
...
...
*weep*
Payne:
Urk. Sorry.
P-Please go ahead.
Dahlia:
How can you say that!?
I'm absolutely devoted to my
dear Feenie.
Dahlia:
The notion that I would try
to frame him is ludicrous!
Dahlia:
This is all just too much for
poor little me to bear!!
Grossberg:
Ah, I believe the girl is
trying to ask what on Earth
her motive would be.
Mia:
(The answer to that lies
somewhere in this police
report. It must!)
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
Eight months ago, an incident
occurred in the basement
cafeteria of this building.
Mia:
And then...
that same day the two of
them "accidentally" meet...
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
Your Honor.
Mia:
The defense requests further
testimony from Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne!
Judge:
F-Further testimony...?
What about?
Mia:
About the events of the day
when she first met the
defendant, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
What could that possibly have
to do with this case!?
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
The witness claims that she
has no reason to frame the
defendant, am I correct?
Mia:
Well I have evidence that
suggests that she, in fact,
had a very good reason!
Judge:
Very well then, the court
grants the defense's request.
Judge:
Young lady.
Would you mind staying on
for just a bit longer?
Dahlia:
Of course not, Mr. Judge.
Mia:
(Get ready for the battle of
your life, Dahlia Hawthorne!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- How I Met My Feenie --
(1)
Dahlia:
I first met my darling Feenie
eight months ago.
(2)
Dahlia:
It's like we were destined to
meet in this very courthouse's
basement reading room.
(3)
Dahlia:
The moment our eyes met,
my heart skipped a beat!
(4)
Dahlia:
We've been going out ever
since that fateful day.
(5)
Phoenix:
We're so lovey-wuvey we
literally make people sick!
It's just jealousy, I think...
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Mr. Wright! Do that again and
you will be held in contempt
of court!
Mia:
(And now we enter the final
act of our little drama!)
Grossberg:
As we used to say in the days
of my youth, "Go get her!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- How I Met My Feenie --
(1)
Dahlia:
I first met my darling Feenie
eight months ago.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So until that time, you had
been dating Doug Swallow?
Dahlia:
Y-Yes.
I'm a real fool, I know.
Dahlia:
Letting my emotions change
so quickly...
I'm ashamed of myself.
Judge:
No, no. Not at all!
Judge:
Look at me!
I'm infamous for changing
my mind!
Judge:
My critics have even taken
to calling me "Judge Fickle"!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Mia:
(Maybe you should look for
a different line of work...)
Grossberg:
Despite that, however, he
always, always hands down
the correct verdict.
Grossberg:
That's why some people also
call him "The Great Judgini".
(2)
Dahlia:
It's like we were destined to
meet in this very courthouse's
basement reading room.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
The courthouse reading room?
That's a strange place to meet
the love of your life.
Dahlia:
That's not true, Madame Fey.
After all, Feenie was...
Dahlia:
Feenie was not only an art
student, but he was also
planning on becoming a lawyer.
Mia:
I'm not talking about him.
I'm talking about you,
Ms. Hawthorne.
Mia:
What was a literature student
like you doing in a courthouse
reading room?
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
This line of questioning is a
waste of time! It has nothing
to do with our murder case!
Judge:
Ms. Fey, I'm warning you.
If this has nothing to do
with Mr. Swallow's case...
Mia:
(I have to remember the
judge is on Dahlia's side.
I'd better tread carefully...)

*
* ADD STATEMENT (2b)
*
********************************************
(2b)
Dahlia:
I had come to this courthouse
to do some research for a
paper I was writing.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You were writing a paper?
On what?
Dahlia:
On the relationship between
modern Senryu poetry and
the criminal underworld.
Judge:
Ho ho ho. That sounds like a
fascinating research idea.
Dahlia:
"Am I getting old?
Now I've even forgotten
what I've forgotten..."
Mia:
(Again with the mid-life
crisis stuff!?)
Grossberg:
Mia, why did that girl really
come to this courthouse? Isn't
that what you wanted to know?
Grossberg:
And speaking of forgetting
things, you haven't forgotten
the police report, have you?
Grossberg:
I went through a lot of
trouble to get it, m'dear, so
be sure to read it carefully.
(3)
Dahlia:
The moment our eyes met,
my heart skipped a beat!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Hmm... So what was it about
Mr. Wright that made your
heart malfunction like that?
Mia:
In my personal opinion, he
just looks like a typical
snotty-nosed college brat.
Dahlia:
Perhaps to a woman your age.
But to me, Feenie is handsome!
Mia:
Perhaps to you, Ms. Hawthorne.
But to the rest of the planet,
he's a dime a dozen.
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Love is a mysterious thing,
and I object to this line of
questioning!
Payne:
If you were to look at my wife
for example, you might all
be shocked!
Judge:
He's telling the truth.
It was truly, truly shocking.
Dahlia:
"Beautiful mushroom,
growing tall in the darkness.
It comes from cow dung."
Dahlia:
That's the poem that best
describes how I feel about my
Feenie.
(4)
Dahlia:
We've been going out ever
since that fateful day.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Were there any bad feelings
between you and Mr. Swallow?
Dahlia:
No, none at all.
We parted on very good terms.
Mia:
But that can't be!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Our investigation also shows
that it was a clean breakup.
Mia:
Huh...
Are you... Are you sure?
Payne:
Yes, it seems that they both
wanted it that way.
Mia:
(So the victim wanted to
break up with her...?)
*** Press further **************************
*
* Mia:
* So you're saying that
* Mr. Swallow also wanted
* to break up with you?
*
* Dahlia:
* W-Well, y-you see...

*
* Payne:
* What a cruel thing to ask a

*
* Payne:
* ...
* By the way, I have never ONCE
* considered leaving MY wife!
*
* Judge:
* No one cares, Mr. Payne.
*
* Mia:
* (She didn't deny it...
* That must mean...)
*
* Mia:
* (Doug Swallow must have
* seen through her little act.)
*
* Mia:
* (He must have gotten a

Grossberg:
Listen to me, Mia.
That woman has the judge in
the palm of her hand, you see.
Grossberg:
So the only way to discredit
her is to find a contradiction
in her testimony!

*Present Police Report* at (2b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Ms. Hawthorne, you weren't
here because of your research
paper, were you?
Mia:
Didn't you actually come here
for a much more important
reason?
Dahlia:
...!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Wh-What is the meaning of
that cocky smile on your face,
Ms. Fey!?
Mia:
Eight months ago, right here
in this very courthouse,
there was another tragedy.
Payne:
Another tragedy...?
Judge:
Do you mean the incident
in which an attorney was
poisoned?
Dahlia:
...
Mia:
The name of the suspect
in that incident is listed
here in this report.
Mia:
And that name is...
Dahlia Hawthorne!
Payne:
What!?
Judge:
D-Dahlia H-Hawthorne!?
Mia:
Yes! The sweetie-pie of
everyone's eye, Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne!
Mia:
She was the prime suspect
in a criminal case just eight
months ago!
Judge:
Order! Order! Order!
...
Th-This is unbelievable!
Judge:
It's true then...
The loveliest rose can hide
the cruelest thorn...
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Ms. Fey!
Th-That's not fair!
Payne:
You can't slander my witness
with an unrelated case!
Dahlia:
Umm...
Payne:
I, Winston Payne, will not
allow it!
Dahlia:
Mr. Prosecutor...
I believe I was speaking.
Payne:
Urk. P-Pardon me...
G-Go right ahead...
Dahlia:
It's true that about
eight months ago...
Dahlia:
...the police expressed some
interest in me.
Judge:
Hmm...
Expressed some interest, huh?
Dahlia:
Mr. Judge, sir... I know I'm
under oath, so I'll tell you
the absolute truth.
Dahlia:
I did not commit the crime
that occurred during that
incident eight months ago.
Judge:
I see...
Mia:
(OK... I've tied the
two crimes together!)
Mia:
(Now I've just got to stay on
the offensive!)
Grossberg:
Well done, Mia!
Grossberg:
Ooohhh...
You've really lit a fire in my
heart... And my buttocks!
Grossberg:
I can hardly tell which is
more inflamed, my spirit...
or my hemorrhoids!

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Poisoning --
(1)
Dahlia:
I met the lawyer who was
poisoned to discuss something
in the cafeteria that day.
(2)
Dahlia:
I left my seat for just a
moment, and that's when
it happened!
(3)
Dahlia:
From what I heard, it was
a liquid poison that is lethal
at just 2 teaspoons.
(4)
Dahlia:
Not only that, I heard it was
a very special kind of poison.
(5)
Dahlia:
So you see, I'm innocent!
I wouldn't even know where
to get a poison like that!
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm...
So that's what happened
here eight months ago.
Payne:
However, as you've heard from
the witness's testimony, she
had nothing to do with it.
Payne:
I think the defense is
just about out of tricks...
Mia:
I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Payne.
Mia:
But I'm afraid the defense has
many more tricks up its
sleeve today.
Mia:
And I'll be sure to show them
to you before the end of this
cross-examination!
Payne:
Unnggh!
Payne:
What the...!?
Why does the defense
suddenly feel stronger...?
Grossberg:
Aha! Mia!
You're glowing with a true
lawyer's aura, m'dear!
Grossberg:
That proud posture and
self-confidence!
Absolutely smashing!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Poisoning --
(1)
Dahlia:
I met the lawyer who was
poisoned to discuss something
in the cafeteria that day.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
What were you talking about
with the defense attorney?
Dahlia:
Well I... I'm sorry, but
that's confidential.
Judge:
According to the report,
you were being interviewed
regarding another case.
Dahlia:
The lawyer that was killed...
Dahlia:
He said he wanted to talk
about an incident I was caught
up in when I was younger.
Mia:
Why don't you tell us all
what that incident was?
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
That has absolutely nothing
at all to do with this case!
Judge:
Objection sustained.
The defense's question is
stricken from the record.
Mia:
You get involved in a lot of
"incidents", don't you,
Ms. Hawthorne?
Dahlia:
Well, I guess I was just
born under a bad sign.
Phoenix:
Don't worry, Dollie!
I'll protect you!
Judge:
You heard the man.
Now THAT is true love,
young lady!
Dahlia:
Oh, Feenie...
Please...
Mia:
(*gag* Those two really are
making me ill. Albeit for
decidedly different reasons.)
(2)
Dahlia:
I left my seat for just a
moment, and that's when
it happened!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
How long were you gone?
Dahlia:
I've already answered all
these questions for the
police...
Dahlia:
But if you must know, maybe
10 or 20 minutes...
Mia:
And where were you during
that stretch of time?
Using the toilet?
Phoenix:
What are you SAYING,
Miss Fey!?
Phoenix:
Toilet!?
My perfect little Dollie
doesn't poop!
Judge:
You heard the defendant,
Ms. Fey.
Better luck next time.
Dahlia:
Oh, Feenie...
Please...
Payne:
The police have already
looked into this whole matter.
Payne:
This line of questioning is
nothing but a waste of the
court's time!
Judge:
Objection sustained.
Ms. Hawthorne, please
continue with your testimony.
(3)
Dahlia:
From what I heard, it was
a liquid poison that is lethal
at just 2 teaspoons.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
About how much liquid is
2 teaspoons?
Judge:
Hmm, well let me see...
Judge:
My bottle of eyedrops says
it's 1/2 fluid ounce... Which
is equal to 3 teaspoons...
Mia:
(So it's about two-thirds
of that amount, huh...)
Dahlia:
The poison was found in the
lawyer's mug of coffee.
Dahlia:
It must have been after I
left the table...
Dahlia:
Someone must have quietly
slipped it in there.
(4)
Dahlia:
Not only that, I heard it was
a very special kind of poison.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
A "special kind of poison"?
How so?
Dahlia:
Well, I heard that it's
almost impossible to detect.
Judge:
Oh? And where would something
like that come from...?
Dahlia:
I'm sorry... All I know is
what I overheard the
policemen saying.
Dahlia:
They said something about
using advanced chemical
processes to purify it...
Judge:
"Chemical processes"...?
Well, well... That's quite...
Judge:
...impressive.
Most impressive...
Mia:
(The better question is, how
did the criminal get something
like that?)
(5)
Dahlia:
So you see, I'm innocent!
I wouldn't even know where
to get a poison like that!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
And that's the reason they
didn't arrest you?
Mia:
Because no one could show
how you could've gotten the
poison?
Dahlia:
I think that's a good enough
reason, Madame Fey.
Payne:
She's right. And I think we've
all had enough of Ms. Fey's
questions!
Judge:
Hmm...
--------------------------------------------
Grossberg:
So in essence, the main reason
Ms. Hawthorne was never
arrested for this crime...
Grossberg:
...was because no one could
show how she could have
obtained the poison.
Mia:
Then all we have to do is find
a way to establish how she
could've gotten some, right?
Mia:
(Great... Now just how did a
lit. student get a hold of
poison, of all things...?)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

*Present Doug Swallow profile* at (5)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
You wouldn't know how
to get that kind of poison?
I don't believe you.
Dahlia:
What...!?
Mia:
In fact, you had easy
access to that kind of
poison, didn't you?
Mia:
At your boyfriend's lab!
Judge:
B-Boyfriend!?
You mean the victim,
Doug Swallow!?
Mia:
That's right. Up until eight
months ago, Ms. Hawthorne
was dating Mr. Swallow.
Mia:
And if you'll recall,
Mr. Swallow was a Pharmacology
student at Ivy University.
Payne:
Ph-Ph-Pharmacology...
Mia:
His laboratory contained
highly advanced chemistry
equipment.
Mia:
In fact, without such
equipment...
Mia:
...the culprit could never
have obtained such a rare
and special poison!
Dahlia:
...!
Mia:
Well, Ms. Hawthorne?
It seems you had access to
such a poison after all.
Mia:
And then, it was a matter of
slipping it into the victim's
coffee when he wasn't looking.
Mia:
The only person who could've
done that was the one sitting
at his very table -- you!
Dahlia:
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Judge:
Order! Order! Order!
C-C-Could it be...!?
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Th-That's nothing but a
baseless accus--
Dahlia:
May I say something, Madame
Fey?
Mia:
What is it, Ms. Hawthorne?
Dahlia:
The amount of poison in
the coffee was 2 teaspoons,
correct?
Dahlia:
In order to carry that much
liquid... you would need some
kind of container.
Judge:
Well, yes... That's true.
Dahlia:
I was searched immediately
after the incident took place.
Payne:
Quite true. In fact the
entire courthouse was
turned upside down.
Dahlia:
But... they didn't find a
suspicious container
anywhere, did they?
Mia:
(She's right...
They even mentioned that
in the report!)
Mia:
W-Well, you could've easily
gotten rid of something that
small!
Dahlia:
Excuse me, Madame, but this
is a court of law!
Dahlia:
If you're saying I threw the
poison container away...
Dahlia:
...I think you need to show
some kind of proof!
Mia:
P-Proof...!?
(She got me good with that!)
Judge:
Provide some evidence or
I'll have to disallow this
line of questioning, Ms. Fey!
Grossberg:
Unless we can come up
with some evidence, we're
going to lose this lead!
Mia:
(The police conducted a full
body search of Dahlia and of
the entire courthouse.)
Mia:
(And yet the container holding
the poison disappeared right
after the crime occurred...)
Judge:
If you're going to accuse the
young lady of committing the
murder...
Judge:
...then where is the container
the poison was carried in?
What happened to it?

*Present Dahlia's Present or Phoenix Wright profile*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
You were forced to get
rid of the container in a
hurry, weren't you?
Mia:
And that's why you passed
it on to someone that had
nothing to do with the case!
Mia:
Someone that you knew
wouldn't be searched!
Judge:
W-Who is this person!?
Mia:
Mr. Phoenix Wright, of course.
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
So the defendant was this
witness's accomplice?
Mia:
Of course not.
Mia:
She gave the poison to
him disguised as... a present.
Dahlia:
Wh-What...!?
B-But...
But that's...!
Judge:
Hmm... That's a charming
little necklace.
Judge:
Is this... a little bottle?
It's really quite cute.
Judge:
So what about it?
What does it mean, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
The day that the witness met
and fell for Mr. Phoenix
Wright was eight months ago...
Mia:
August 27th.
The very same day as the
poisoning incident.
Mia:
Under the pretense of love,
the witness gave my client
a present.
Mia:
All for the purpose of hiding
the one piece of evidence
that would give her away!
Judge:
Whaaat!?
Are you saying there's a
deadly poison in here!?
Mia:
No, there's no longer any
poison in that bottle.
Mia:
However!
Mia:
I'm certain if the crime lab
were to analyze it, they
would find a trace amount!
Dahlia:
.........
Dahlia:
NOOOOOOOOOO!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Judge:
Or-Order! Order in the court!
Ahh, umm...
Phoenix:
*OBJECTION!*
Phoenix:
On behalf of Dollie, I object!
Payne:
M-Mr. Wright!
Control yourself!
Phoenix:
I-I won't let you bully
her like this...!
Judge:
Mr. Wright!
I thought I told you to stay
in your seat!
Mia:
Mr. Wright... Why?
Mia:
Why are you going through so
much trouble to protect her?
Phoenix:
Why?
Phoenix:
B-Because...!
Because I'm madly in
love with her!
............
Judge:
Hmmm, hmmmm...
Judge:
"Madly in love"... I haven't
heard anyone say that in
a long time...
Mia:
Mr. Wright...
Have you ever thought
about this...
Mia:
Why exactly would a woman
like Dahlia Hawthorne want
to date you anyway?
Phoenix:
W-Well...
I guess she must be madly
in love with me too...
Mia:
(Mr. Wright... Please!
Open your eyes...!)
Mia:
At this point in the trial,
I think it should be obvious
to everyone.
Mia:
The real reason that Dahlia
Hawthorne is dating you is...
*** she's madly in love with you. **********
*
* Mia:
* Naturally it's because she
* has fallen madly in love with
* you too!
*
* Phoenix:
* See? Just like I told you!
*
* Grossberg:

* Are you thinking clearly!?

*
* Mia:
* I-I'm sorry!
* I don't know why I even said

*
* Mia:

Mia:
Dahlia Hawthorne was not
and is not madly in love
with you.
Mia:
The only think she's after is
that bottle necklace you love
to wear around your neck!
Phoenix:
My n-necklace...?
Mia:
Back there in the waiting
room, you said it yourself...
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
Yeah, but she's so shy. Every
time I see her, she always
says the same thing to me.
Phoenix:
"Please give it back now."
Grossberg:
What a strange girl, asking
for a present back like
that...
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
For Dahlia Hawthorne, that
necklace is irrefutable
evidence of her crime.
Mia:
That's why she absolutely
had to get it back.
Phoenix:
Y-You're lying!
Mia:
But you never gave it
back to her.
Mia:
And to make things worse for
her, you insisted on showing
it to everyone you met.
Mia:
That's why she......
Phoenix:
...I don't......
I don't believe you...
Phoenix:
NOOO!! Th-That's a LIE!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Mia:
Eeeeeek!!
? ? ?:
M-Mia!
Are you alright!?
Ah! The defendant!
He-He's getting away!
? ? ?:
Bailiff! Hurry!
After him!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grossberg:
Mia! Mia!
Are you alright!?
Mia:
Y-Yes, I-I think so...
Grossberg:
That boy...!
He went completely insane!
Mia:
Where... Where's Mr. Wright?
Grossberg:
It looks like the bailiff
caught him, so he should be
brought back here soon.
Mia:
Thank goodness...
...
Oh no!
Grossberg:
What is it!?
Mia:
The bottle necklace...!
Ms. Hawthorne's "present"...!
Mia:
It's gone...!
Grossberg:
Whaaaaat...!
That's terrible!!
Mia:
Mr. Wright must have grabbed
it when he slammed into me!
Grossberg:
Foolish boy...!
That's the only thing that
could have saved him...
Grossberg:
What in blazes are we supposed
to do noooow!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge:
Mr. Wright!! This sort of
behavior is unprecedented in
the history of this court!
Phoenix:
I-I'm sorry...
Payne:
I'm afraid that your apology
is not enough!
Mia:
Mr. Wright!
Mia:
What did you do with the
bottle necklace?
Phoenix:
F-Forgive me...
I... I... I'm sorry...
Mia:
It's OK.
Just give back the necklace.
Phoenix:
...
I ate it.
Mia:
...
You what?
Judge:
You... You...
You ate it...?
Phoenix:
It was too big to swallow,
so I had to chew it into
little bits first, but yeah...
Phoenix:
...Ugh.
Aaaaaaaaahhhh!
Mia:
What the...?
Payne:
Wha--...?
Judge:
What is he doing now!?
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Y-Your Honor!!
You've got to stop the trial!!
Mia:
Mr. Wright! Mr. Wright!
Are you feeling OK!?
Does your stomach hurt!?
Mia:
That bottle you swallowed
may have had some poison
left in it!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Ehee hee...
Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...
Payne:
It seems the defendant has
proven the prosecution's
case for us.
Payne:
Clearly that bottle did not
contain a deadly poison!
Mia:
H-How can you be so sure!?
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee...
I think that's obvious...
Payne:
As you can see, the
defendant is still very
much alive.
Payne:
As for the poison? More like a
fledgling defense attorney's
overactive imagination!
Judge:
Hmm...
So it would seem.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
No!
There must be some mistake!
Mia:
The bottle must not have
had any poison left in it!
Mia:
Either that or the poison
must have lost its
potency...
Payne:
There, there...
It's alright, rookie.
Payne:
Trusting your client is the
most noble thing a defense
attorney can do.
Payne:
And it's heartwarming to see
that you placed this much
faith in Mr. Wright.
Phoenix:
...!
Payne:
But that's how it is for us
on the prosecution side, too!
Payne:
For example, I would trust
the witness, Ms. Hawthorne,
with my very life!
Payne:
Which is why I can state that
your assessment of her is
completely wrong!
Judge:
That's enough!
Judge:
Unfortunately, Ms. Fey,
I cannot accept your
explanation of the events.
Mia:
B-But why!?
Judge:
This may be impossible for
a beginner like you to
understand...
Judge:
...but in a court of law,
evidence is everything.
Mia:
Unngggh!
Mia:
(Even though I've proven so
much, is she going to get
away with everything...?)
Judge:
Well, now that the suspicion
surrounding Ms. Hawthorne
has been cleared up...
Judge:
I would like to proceed
with the trial.
Phoenix:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
M...
Mia:
Mr. Wright!
Phoenix:
I'm sorry, Miss Fey.
It totally slipped my mind.
Phoenix:
I'm really, really sorry...
Phoenix:
I know you believed in me,
and I feel like I really let
you down.
Mia:
Mr. Wright...
What are you trying to say?
Phoenix:
Um...
There's something I forgot
to tell you.
Judge:
What is it!?
Phoenix:
That day...
The day I met Doug Swallow...
--------------------------------------------
That girl...
You shouldn't see her anymore.
Hey!
It's none of your business!
I'm telling you for your sake.
If you continue to see her,
it's going to be bad news.
Y-You're lying!
Just listen to me.
There's something you need
to know about that girl... ...
Swallow:
Last night, someone stole
some poison from our lab.
Phoenix:
P-Poison...?
Swallow:
The same thing happened
eight months ago. A drug
sample was stolen.
Swallow:
She came to the lab that
time, too.
Swallow:
It could only have been her!
That girl is a thief!
Phoenix:
Stop it!
Phoenix:
D-Don't talk about her like
that!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
Is it true?
Did he really say that?
Payne:
Th-That's ridiculous!
Phoenix:
There's one more thing...
After I pushed him that day...
Phoenix:
I got worried and came
back to have a look.
Phoenix:
And she was there...
Dollie was right there.
Phoenix:
She was crouched down
next to him...
Mia:
What!?
Phoenix:
She told me not to ever
tell anyone about it, but...
Phoenix:
I'm sorry, Dollie!
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Y-Your Honor!
This is...
The defendant is...
Phoenix:
Miss Fey! You tell them!
Phoenix:
D-Dollie didn't do it...
Sh-She's innocent!
Mia:
(So Dahlia stole poison eight
months ago too, huh...)
Mia:
(If you put that together
with Mr. Wright's testimony...)
Mia:
(...then there's only one
possible conclusion!)
Mia:
The defense believes that
Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne...
Mia:
...stole some poison on the
night before she killed Doug
Swallow.
Judge:
The night before...!?
Mia:
Naturally, her motive for
stealing it was to kill
someone!
Phoenix:
Miss Fey...
Judge:
If you're so certain of your
theory, then let me ask you
this.
Mia:
(Mia, this is your last
chance. Think carefully
now...)
Mia:
(There's something that
she desperately wanted
to get back... Therefore...)
Judge:
Exactly who was Ms. Dahlia
Hawthorne planning to kill?

*
* Mia:

*
* Grossberg:

*Present Phoenix Wright profile*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
There was one person that was
standing squarely in
Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne's way...
Mia:
And that person was...
Mr. Phoenix Wright!
Phoenix:
...
M-M-M-M-M-M-Meeee!?
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Th-That's preposterous!!
Payne:
After all, it was Doug Swallow
that was murdered!
Mia:
Well, it's true that that's
how things worked out...
Mia:
But, let's remember that
Mr. Swallow died of
electrocution, not poison.
Mia:
The person that Ms. Hawthorne
was planning to poison was in
fact...
Mia:
You, Phoenix Wright.
There's no one else
that it could be.
Judge:
B-But how can that be!?
I-I thought Mr. Wright and
Ms. Hawthorne were in love!
Mia:
(Poor Mr. Wright...
This must be killing him...)
Mia:
(Hang in there... I'll bring
her to justice... I swear it!)
Mia:
As I said before, the only
thing Ms. Hawthorne truly
cared about was...
Mia:
...the one piece of evidence
linking her to that incident
eight months ago.
Mia:
That's right.
The bottle necklace.
That's all she cared about.
Judge:
But even so...
Why... Why would she go
so far as to murder him!?
Mia:
Eight months ago, just after
the fall of that attorney in
the basement cafeteria...
Mia:
Dahlia Hawthorne could
think of only one thing.
Mia:
How to get rid of the bottle
necklace as quickly as
possible!
Phoenix:
N-No... It-It can't be...
Mia:
It was a pretty good move she
made, too. The evidence was
missing for a long time.
Mia:
But there was just one
big problem.
Mia:
Although she got him to hide
the evidence, Mr. Wright
refused to return it to her.
Mia:
To him, the tiny little bottle
was a cherished treasure.
Mia:
He even showed it to
everyone he met!
Judge:
Y-You mean...
TH-THAT'S why she tried to
kill Mr. Wright...?
Mia:
Correct, Your Honor.
It was to retrieve that piece
of evidence.
Phoenix:
...
Th-Th-Th...
Phoenix:
That can't be trueeeeeeeee!!

Dahlia:
"Feenie"...
What a joke you are.
Dahlia:
Honestly, how can any woman
ever count on you for
anything?
Dahlia:
I even told you time and time
again to keep your trap shut
about me and that necklace.
Dahlia:
...You disgust me!
Judge:
M-Ms. Hawthorne...?
Mia:
It appears that this
trial will be coming
to an end soon...
Dahlia:
Fine. I can tell you plan on
making me into a criminal
no matter what I say!
Mia:
You ARE a criminal,
Ms. Hawthorne!
Dahlia:
We'll see about that.
But first, where's your
evidence?
Dahlia:
It seems your sniveling
little crybaby of a client has
eaten the bottle as a snack.
Mia:
Urk...!
W-Well, umm...
Dahlia:
Hey! Old man!
Are you senile or something!?
Dahlia:
Why don't you say something
instead of sitting there with
that dumb look on your face!
Judge:
M-M-Ms. Hawthorne!
What's happened to you...!?
Dahlia:
Hmph!
Are you really that shocked?
Dahlia:
...
Dahlia:
Or do you prefer me...
this way, Mr. Judge?
Judge:
Nnnnggghh...!
Dahlia:
With absolutely no proof, you
treat a voluntary witness
like she's a mass-murderer...
Dahlia:
Well, I have nothing more
to say. I'll be heading home
now, if you don't mind.
Judge:
B-But y-you're not finished...
Dahlia:
Fine!
Then ask this nasty old
hag to finish up already!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
(I can't let her get away
this time!)
Grossberg:
Stop, Mia!
Grossberg:
If you keep on pushing
without any evidence...
Grossberg:
...you could pay the
ultimate price as a lawyer!
Mia:
The ultimate price...?
Judge:
You'd be forced to take off
your attorney's badge forever,
I'm afraid.
Mia:
N-No...!
Dahlia:
You'd better think it over
carefully, Ms. Fey...
Or should I say, Ms. Gray.
Judge:
Well, Ms. Fey?
Judge:
Can you provide evidence
that would establish her guilt
once and for all?
Mia:
(If I mess up here, my
career as a lawyer is over!)
Mia:
(But to be honest... at this
point I don't have any
evidence that's well-founded.)
Mia:
(Even so...)
Mia:
(I'd rather lose my attorney's
badge than let her get
away with murder!)
Mia:
Your Honor!
The defense would like
to present proof!
Payne:
Im-Impossible!
You can't possibly...
Dahlia:
Stupid woman!
Judge:
It is the opinion of the court
that there has already been
enough discussion.
Judge:
Therefore, I will allow only
one piece of evidence to
be presented.
Mia:
J-Just one!?
Judge:
If you are unable to
establish her guilt...
Judge:
...then I'm afraid that a very
harsh verdict will immediately
be handed down on Mr. Wright.
Mia:
I understand, Your Honor.
Dahlia:
I can just imagine the
headlines for tomorrow's
newspaper.
Dahlia:
Up-and-coming lawyer
plummets to Earth before she
gets the chance to soar...
Mia:
(She was planning to
poison Mr. Wright...)
Mia:
(If that's the case, then
the poison was probably
in there!)
Judge:
Well then, Ms. Fey.
Please present your evidence.

Here it is, Your Honor!
The evidence that will prove
her guilt once and for all.
Judge:
Coldkiller X...
Phoenix Wright's beloved
cold medicine.
Payne:
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Does our rookie defense
attorney have a bit of a cold?
Mia:
If I did, I still wouldn't
take this cold medicine.
Mia:
After all...
It's been poisoned.
Judge:
Wh-What!?
Mia:
Remember what the defendant
said in his testimony.
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
But I lost my bottle of it
around lunchtime on the day
of the accident.
Phoenix:
I always eat with Dollie...
Just the two of us.
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
She was the one who took
his bottle of Coldkiller X.
Mia:
Then she poisoned it,
knowing that Mr. Wright was
going to take some.
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
Now you're really grasping
at straws!
Payne:
After all, it was the victim,
Doug Swallow, that was
holding the medicine.
Mia:
I would like the court to
recall the crime that happened
here eight months ago.
Mia:
Where did Ms. Hawthorne
hide the evidence?
Judge:
Huh?
What are you talking about?
Mia:
Eight months ago,
the poison was hidden
in her bottle necklace...
Mia:
...which she then gave to
someone else for
safekeeping.
Mia:
Someone she had accidentally
run into in the reading room.
My client, Mr. Phoenix Wright!
Mia:
Yes, that's right...
She did the same thing
this time as well.
Mia:
After shoving the victim,
Mr. Phoenix Wright left
the scene of the crime.
Mia:
That is when the murderer,
Dahlia Hawthorne, appeared.
Mia:
With her, she was carrying
the poisoned bottle of
Coldkiller X.
Mia:
This, of course, was so she
could carry out her plan to
murder Mr. Wright.
Judge:
Hmm, I believe she did testify
that she was going to meet
with the defendant.
Mia:
Yes, and she heard and saw
everything that happened
at the scene of the crime.
Mia:
Including what the defendant
and victim were arguing about,
and the cut electrical cable.
That's when she realized,
"I can't allow Doug
Swallow to live!"
Mia:
She used the severed
electrical cable to silence
him forever.
Mia:
Unfortunately for her,
this is when the problem
occurred.
Mia:
Mr. Wright, who she thought
had left the scene, came back
to check on the victim.
Mia:
And on top of that, because
of the power outage, some
students showed up as well.
Mia:
It's hardly any wonder that
she was, as she put it,
in a state of panic.
Mia:
Recall that she was carrying
that bottle of poisoned cold
medicine.
Mia:
She must have thought,
"What if they search me like
they did eight months ago?"
Payne:
E-Eight months ago...?
Mia:
Yes, she disposed of the
evidence exactly the same
way as she did back then!
Mia:
She had someone else hold it!
In this case... Doug Swallow!
--------------------------------------------
............
Dahlia:
Oh come on now, everyone.
Surely you aren't fooled,
are you?
Dahlia:
This stupid woman!
She's nothing but a
filthy, stinking liar!
Dahlia:
Right, Mr. Prosecutor...?
Payne:
Huh...!?
Payne:
Y-Yes...
Th-That's exactly right.
It's just pure desperation!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Hmm... I wonder which one
of us is the desperate one?
Mia:
So, Ms. Hawthorne.
Mia:
This cold medicine...
I wonder if you wouldn't
mind taking some?
Dahlia:
...!?
Mia:
Well, Mr. Wright ate that
necklace of yours, right?
Mia:
Now it's your turn to
prove your innocence.
What do you say?
Dahlia:
...!
Mia:
If I'm just a filthy, stinking
liar, then there's no need
to worry.
Mia:
So come on! Show us!
I dare you to take some of
this medicine right now!
Dahlia:
...
Dahlia:
...Grr... Nngghh... Hnnn...
Dahlia:
MIA FEY...!
MIA... FEYYYY...!!
Dahlia:
Do. You. Think. You've. Won?
Well!? Do you, Mia Fey?
Mia:
...!
Dahlia:
Heh... Heh... Heh... Heheh...
That's. Just. Fine!
Dahlia:
For the time being...
Dahlia:
For the time being,
victory is yours.
Mia:
"For the time being"?
Dahlia:
Well... I have a very long
memory, you know.
Dahlia:
You and I will meet again...
I'm certain of it.
Mia:
...?
Dahlia:
Well then, Mr. Judge...
I'll see you later too, OK?
Judge:
Huh...!?
Err, why, um...
Y-Yes...
Dahlia:
I'm going to go spend a
little quality time with the
men in blue now.
Dahlia:
I wish you all the best.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mia:
(Whew...)
Mia:
(It's finally all over.)
Payne:
*OBJECTION!*
Payne:
I...
I refuse to accept this!
Payne:
The defense hasn't shown a
scrap of evidence to support
their outrageous claim!
Judge:
B-But even so, your witness
seems to have accepted it...
Payne:
I don't care!!
I'm Winston Payne!
Payne:
And I don't believe one
word that this rookie lawyer
has said!
Mia:
Well then, Mr. Payne,
let me ask you this.
Payne:
Y-Yes!?
Mia:
Would you care to try
this cold medicine?
Payne:
WHAT!?
Mia:
Just a little earlier, I
could've sworn you said...
--------------------------------------------
Payne:
There, there...
It's alright, rookie.
Payne:
For example, I would trust
the witness, Ms. Hawthorne,
with my very life!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
So, if she's so trustworthy...
Mia:
...then I'm sure there
couldn't possibly be any
poison in here, right?
Payne:
Err... Well... Ummm...
You see... Umm... Y-Yes...
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
...And here comes the
backpedal!
Mia:
Come on now, "Rookie Killer"!
Show this rookie how it's
done!
Mia:
How much trust do you
really have for this woman?
Mia:
Are you willing to bet
your life!?
Payne:
Gggg... Nnngh... Unnngggggh...
Payne:
NNNNNNYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Payne:
M-M-My HAAAAAAAAAAIIIIRRR!!
IT-IT-IT'S FLYYYYYIIIIIIIING
OOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!
Payne:
MY BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL HAIR!!
NOOOOOOO!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Payne:
WAAAAAHAAAAWAAAAHAAAA
NO-NO-NO-NO-No-No-no-no
noooooooooooooooooooooo...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge:
Umm, Mr. Payne?
About Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne...?
Payne:
Y-Y-Yes, Your Honor!
I'll file papers for her
immediate arrest...
Judge:
Hmmm...
Tragic... but not surprising.
Judge:
I knew there was something
suspicious about her from
the very beginning!
Mia:
(Don't lie! Just admit you
were wrong!)
Judge:
By the way, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
Y-Yes, Your Honor?
Judge:
You said earlier that you and
Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne knew
each other...?
Mia:
...
Mia:
Your Honor...
How we knew each other had
nothing to do with this case.
Judge:
Hmmm...
Very well...
Judge:
Err, Mr. Payne.
Payne:
This can't be happening!
It's a nightmare! It's like
losing to my daughter!
Judge:
...It appears Mr. Payne has
lost his spirit along with his
hair.
Judge:
Does the defendant have
anything further to say?
Phoenix:
It-It can't be true...
My... Dear... Dollie...
*achoo*
Judge:
Hmm... Very well then...
Judge:
I believe I am ready to
pass judgment and bring
this trial to an end.
Judge:
The court finds the
defendant, Phoenix Wright...
* N O T G U I L T Y *
Judge:
This court is adjourned!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 11, 3:16 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3
Grossberg:
Mia!
You were wonderful in there!
Mia:
Thank you for everything,
Mr. Grossberg.
Grossberg:
During the verdict, I thought
my hemorrhoids were going
to explode like Mt. Vesuvius!
Mia:
Umm, Mr. Grossberg...
Do you, um, maybe think you
could stop talking about them?
Grossberg:
Hmph! That's rather rude.
Grossberg:
Anyway, this case
really made me think.
Grossberg:
What does it really mean to
have a relationship of mutual
trust with the client?
Grossberg:
Perhaps it is we veteran
lawyers who have lost
sight of this.
Phoenix:
...
Mia:
Oh! Mr. Wright...!
Congratulations!
Phoenix:
Th-Thanks...
Um, you know...
I was thinking...
Mia:
Go on...
Phoenix:
The Dollie that I saw up there
on the witness stand...
Phoenix:
I don't think that was
really her.
Mia:
Um, what?
Phoenix:
Yeah... The Dollie I know could
NEVER have said those kinds
of terrible things...
Phoenix:
Maybe... Maybe she was like...
I don't know... A fake or
something.
Mia:
(Boy... This poor kid still
hasn't got a clue...)
Mia:
You need to forget about
her, Mr. Wright.
For your own sake...
Phoenix:
Yeah, you're right...
That's probably for the best.
Mia:
Also...
You need to relax a bit more.
Try to grow up a little.
Phoenix:
B-But...
Phoenix:
Out of all my friends, everyone
says I'm the most grown up!
Mia:
(Eek! What kind of company
must this guy keep!?)
Phoenix:
...
Phoenix:
Right now I...
I'm studying to become
a lawyer myself.
Mia:
That's what you keep saying...
Mia:
But I thought you were
in the Art Department?
Phoenix:
Well, yeah...
I guess I am...
Phoenix:
But there's a friend that I
desperately want to help!
Phoenix:
And if I hurry, then I should
still be able to save him in
time!
Mia:
I see.
Phoenix:
Say, Miss Fey?
Phoenix:
A lawyer is someone who
can help people when they're
in trouble, right?
Mia:
Mr. Wright,
I'm still new at this myself.
Mia:
But...
I think that's exactly what
a lawyer is.
Phoenix:
OK... I'm going to do it.
I'll study my butt off.
I'll become a lawyer for sure!
Phoenix:
I hope...
I hope we see each other again
some day, maybe even in court.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
It's been five years since I
was acquitted of all charges.
Phoenix:
I became a lawyer like I
planned, and managed to
save my friend.
Phoenix:
But Mia has passed on
to a better place.
Phoenix:
For me, this trial brings up
a lot of painful memories.
Phoenix:
But... it also brings up some
very precious ones.
Phoenix:
And memories that I thought
would never rise to the
surface again...
Phoenix:
Mia is gone now.
Phoenix:
But even so...
I can hear her in my mind.
Mia:
Phoenix, no matter what,
always believe in your client.
Mia:
In a court of law, your
greatest weapon is your
belief.
Phoenix:
...Five long years...
Phoenix:
Something has happened
that's made me think back
to her words of wisdom...
Phoenix:
But that is a story for
another day...

Hey, Nick!
Get a load of this!
Maya:
Hey, are you listening to me!?
You can clean the toilet
later! This is important!
Phoenix:
*sigh*
What are you freaking
out about now?
Maya:
Hee hee.
Maya:
Today will be the last time
you talk to me that way!
Phoenix:
Huh?
Maya:
We're about to hit the
big time!
Phoenix:
"Big time"? And what do
you mean by "we"? You don't
mean you and me are...?
Maya:
Ha! Don't be silly.
Maya:
I'm talking about me and
Pearly, of course!
Pearl:
Hello.
It's a pleasure to see you
again, Mr. Nick!
Phoenix:
Pearls! You haven't changed

Phoenix:

I'm reading through the file
of an old court case.
It was the first case of my
long-time mentor, Mia Fey...

-- 6 Years Earlier --
Mia Fey
First Trial
February 16, 9:24 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 4
Mia:
(Ugh... I'm so nervous.
I feel like I'm going to die.)
Mia:
(I never should've
accepted this case...)
Mia:
Eeeeeeek!
Mia:
...Ah! G-G-Good morning!
(Don't be so jumpy, Mia!)
? ? ?:
I-I din't do nuttin'!
I swear!
I din't kill nobody!
Mia:
(Terry Fawles...
...My first client.)
Mia:
(Sentenced to death 5 years
ago, and now... a prison
escapee.)
Fawles:
...
Mia:
(Just relax, Mia! Make small
talk and try to relax him!)
Mia:
...Err, umm...
So why did you escape anyway?
Fawles:
Ah. Ah.
UGGA!
Mia:
Eeeeek!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Fawles:
...Ugh.
I din't do nuttin'!
I din't kill nobody!
Fawles:
I never... I never lie!
I din't escape from nowhere!
Mia:
Err...
Mia:
But, Mr. Fawles...
The police just recaptured
you two days ago.
Fawles:
...
Ugh.
Sorry. I told a little lie.
Mia:
(Oh boy...)
Fawles:
But anyway, I din't do it!
I never killed nobody!
Mia:
Umm, sorry for asking but...
You're on death row, right?
Fawles:
Uh. Uh...
UGGA!
Mia:
Eeeeeek!
I'm really, really sorry!
Fawles:
They sentenced me to die
5 years ago!
But I was tricked I tell you!
Fawles:
That woman! She lied in her
testimony! ...That's why I got
the death penalty!
Fawles:
I swear it! I din't kill her!
I could never do that!
Mia:
(Two days ago, he escaped
from the police wagon when
it crashed...)
Mia:
(Then about 8 hours later...)
Mia:
(A policewoman was murdered
before the police could
recapture him.)
Mia:
(The police believe that
Terry Fawles did it.)
Mia:
Umm... After you escaped,
did you meet a policewoman?
Fawles:
...
Fawles:
Yeah... I did.
...She's the reason I escaped.
Mia:
(So that much is true...
He did meet with the victim.)
Fawles:
But I din't kill her!
Fawles:
She was alive when I left!
She was alive...!
It-It's true!
Mia:
(I can trust him... right?
I mean, I should...)
? ? ?:
Ha...!
? ? ?:
You're not going to figure
out the truth by just staring
at the guy...
Mia:
Y-You're... Why are you here?
? ? ?:
I came to see how our little
kitten was doing all alone in
the big, scary lion's den.
? ? ?:
...I thought maybe you'd like
someone to play with.
Mia:
Err, where is Mr. Grossberg?
? ? ?:
Ha...!
That old man is probably
still in bed.
? ? ?:
I bet he's clutching an empty
bottle and mumbling in his
sleep.
Armando:
Aren't I good enough?
After all, it's me...
Diego Armando!
Mia:
I-I didn't say...
Mia:
So, Diego Armando, the finest
attorney at Grossberg Law
Offices, is here for me...?
Armando:
No, no, no...
You've got it all wrong!
Today, YOU'RE the finest!
Armando:
After all, it took an amazing
amount of guts to take this
case!
Armando:
Imagine...
An escaped death row convict
for a first client!
Mia:
Yeah, err... Th-Thanks.
(I sure wish I could get
out of it though!)
Armando:
Ha...!
Relax.
I just heard some good news.
Armando:
The prosecutor for today
is fresh out of his diapers
as well.
Mia:
R-Really!?
Armando:
However...
Unlike a certain somebody
who I won't mention...
Armando:
...he's earned the reputation
as a "genius" since beginning
his law career.
Mia:
(G-Genius...?)
Armando:
Well, it's about time
to head in, Kitten.
Armando:
Sharpen those claws of yours.
It's go time!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(A solitary confinement cell
for the condemned must be
the world's loneliest place.)
Mia:
(...And that's what my client
ran away from.)
Mia:
(Every other lawyer gave up
on him... But not me.)
Mia:
(When I saw those overflowing
eyes and heard that simple,
child-like voice...)
Mia:
(I just had the feeling that
he was telling the truth.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 16, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
Judge:
Court is now in session for
the trial of Terry Fawles.
Mia:
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
? ? ?:
The prosecution has been
ready for a while, Your Honor.
Judge:
I understand the lawyers for
both sides are newcomers...?
Mia:
Y-Y-Yes, Your Honor.
I'm Mia Fey.
Edgeworth:
Miles Edgeworth... Your Honor.
Judge:
So you're the new prosecutor
everyone is talking about, eh?
Judge:
They say you joined the
prosecutor's office at quite
an early age.
Edgeworth:
At 20... Your Honor.
Armando:
I guess our little kitten
hasn't earned herself much
of a reputation yet, huh?
Mia:
(Come on, Mia!
You can't lose! Not to
someone younger than you!)
Edgeworth:
...Hmph.
Judge:
Young people running a trial.
I'm not too sure how I feel
about that.
Judge:
...Now then, the defendant in
this case is currently a
felon on death row.
Judge:
Two days ago, he escaped
from a police wagon.
Is that correct?
Edgeworth:
Precisely.
Armando:
But the defendant is not on
trial for escaping prison.
Armando:
On the day that the defendant
escaped, a policewoman was
murdered...
Mia:
So we're here to determine
if Mr. Fawles was responsible
for her death...?
Armando:
You got it, Kitten.
Judge:
Well then, Mr. Edgeworth.
Let's hear your opening
statement.
Edgeworth:
Yes, Your Honor.
It was five years ago.
Edgeworth:
The defendant, Terry Fawles,
was sentenced to death in this
very court.
Edgeworth:
His crimes were kidnapping,
extortion... and murder.
Edgeworth:
The girl he threw off the
bridge was only 14 years old.
Judge:
A truly horrible crime.
I remember it well.
Judge:
There was no decisive
evidence, so the trial was
long and protracted.
Edgeworth:
Correct.
But in the end, what finally
decided the case was...
Edgeworth:
...a certain witness's
testimony.
Mia:
A witness's testimony...
Edgeworth:
The testimony of Detective
Valerie Hawthorne; the person
who confronted this criminal.
Edgeworth:
She arrested Mr. Fawles at
the scene and later testified
against him.
Edgeworth:
She said she witnessed
Mr. Fawles throw his young
victim into the river.
Edgeworth:
For those who are not aware,
Eagle River is well-known for
its powerful current.
Edgeworth:
Most bodies that fall in
are never recovered...
Mia:
(So Ms. Hawthorne's testimony
was the one that put him
away...)
Judge:
That policewoman you
just mentioned...
That wouldn't be...?
Edgeworth:
Exactly. The victim.
The same woman that was
killed 2 days ago...
Edgeworth:
Police Sergeant...
Valerie Hawthorne.
Judge:
Aha...! I see...
Judge:
The man who was sentenced to
death based on her testimony
escaped two days ago...
Judge:
...with only one thing on his
mind. To take revenge against
the woman who convicted him.
Judge:
...
Hmm...
Judge:
Aha! The truth is becoming
clear to me now!
Mia:
Huh?
Judge:
Yes, yes...
Judge:
It's quite obvious that the
defendant is guilty.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
W-Wait a minute!
That's not right!
Mia:
At least hear the case
before you decide on the
outcome, Your Honor!
Judge:
Grrrngh...
Judge:
Watch yourself, Ms. Fey! I'm
not sure I care for your word
choice, or your tone of voice.
Edgeworth:
Young people these days simply
don't know how to respect
their elders.
Mia:
(Why you...! You're even
younger than me, you
hypocrite!)
Judge:
Now then, Mr. Edgeworth,
please call your first
witness.
Edgeworth:
I call the detective who was
in charge of the initial
investigation of this case.
--------------------------------------------
Edgeworth:
Witness...
State your name and
occupation.
Gumshoe:
Gumshoe. Dick Gumshoe.
I'm the homicide detective
in charge of the case, sir!
Gumshoe:
I finally got promoted to
the detective division half a
year ago!
Mia:
I don't believe anyone
asked you about that.
Gumshoe:
Hey, ma'am! You got any idea
how much work it takes...
......
Mia:
Wh-What is it?
Gumshoe:
You...
Y-You're really gorgeous...
Mia:
Excuse me?
Gumshoe:
No, seriously...
My heart...
It's aching for you...
Edgeworth:
Detective. Pull yourself
together and try to be
professional. Otherwise...
Edgeworth:
I'll write you up on contempt
so quick that something other
than your heart will ache!
Gumshoe:
Urk...
O-OK, I-I got it!
Judge:
...Now, Detective.
Tell us about the incident.
Gumshoe:
Yes, sir! Right away!
Gumshoe:
The victim was Sergeant
Valerie Hawthorne, a veteran
on the police force.
Gumshoe:
She was stabbed in the back
with a knife and died from
excessive blood loss.
Judge:
That much is already stated
in the autopsy report.
Judge:
The court would like to hear
more details about the
incident itself.
Gumshoe:
Yes, sir! I gotcha!
OK! Let's take a look at this
aerial map of the area here!
Gumshoe:
This is a sketch of
Dusky Bridge, an old
suspension bridge.
Gumshoe:
And the river that runs under
there is Eagle River.
Gumshoe:
The victim and the defendant
met there...
On top of the bridge.
Gumshoe:
After stabbing her in the
back, the killer carried
the victim back to his car.
Gumshoe:
He was recaptured at a police
checkpoint as he was trying to
make his getaway, sir.
Judge:
Hmm... I see...
*Dusky Bridge Map added
to the Court Record.*
Judge:
Was the victim's blood
found on the bridge?
Gumshoe:
The victim, Sergeant Valerie
Hawthorne, was wearing a
thick coat, sir.
Gumshoe:
Unfortunately, no traces of
blood were found on the
bridge.
Judge:
Hmm...
Judge:
Mr. Edgeworth. I warn you
that I absolutely despise
conjecture.
Judge:
If there was no blood on the
bridge, then you have no proof
that they even met there!
Edgeworth:
Your Honor.
Edgeworth:
If you would listen to the
testimony we have prepared,
I'm sure you'll be convinced.
Edgeworth:
The two of them most
certainly did meet on the
bridge that day...
Judge:
Why, Mr. Edgeworth...
Judge:
I'm not sure I like you
wagging your finger at me as
though I were some hoser!
Judge:
Detective, proceed
with your testimony!
Gumshoe:
Um... Yes, sir!
Mia:
(Here we go, Mia! Hang on...!)
Armando:
OK now...
Listen carefully, Kitten.
Armando:
One little mistake and this
guy will drink you for morning
tea! Trust me and get ready.

...Naturally.
Judge:
Now, would the defense please
hurry up and proceed with the
cross-examination.
Mia:
Y-Yes, Your Honor!
C-C-Cross-examination...
Coming right up!
Armando:
Hey, hey!
Settle down there, Kitten!
Armando:
If you keep trembling like
that, you're gonna make me

It-It-It's just cold in here!
Armando:
The courtroom can be a cold
battlefield alright.
Especially... for a beginner.
Mia:
I-I don't need you to worry
about me...! I mean...
Mia:
I mean, the defendant, the
witness... everyone's a
beginner in here!
Armando:
Ha...!
You got me there.
Armando:
But maybe you should keep
your claws out, and show them
what you've got... Kitten.
Mia:
(It's OK, Mia. Stay calm...)
Mia:
(Just remember those court
procedure videos you stayed
up all last night watching!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Summary of the Incident --
(1)
Gumshoe:
On the day of the incident,
an unknown person phoned the
sergeant and asked to meet.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
This "unknown person"...
You have no idea who it
might be, right?
Gumshoe:
Sorry, but I'm afraid I do!
Mia:
What...?
Gumshoe:
The one who called
Sergeant Hawthorne was the
defendant, Terry Fawles!
Judge:
Wh-Wh-Whaaat!
The defendant...!
The defendant called her!?
Gumshoe:
Sergeant Hawthorne was a very
thorough person, sir!
Gumshoe:
She left a note about her
phone call with Mr. Fawles.
Mia:
A note...?
Gumshoe:
Yeah, a top-secret memo
that she left on her desk.
*Victim's Note added to
the Court Record.*
Judge:
Hmm...
Judge:
According to this note, it
seems the one who called her
to the bridge was indeed...
Judge:
...the defendant,
Terry Fawles!
Mia:
Nngh!
(Whose bright idea was it to
keep that note from me!?)
Armando:
Ha...!
Looks like the judge is even
more sure of his verdict now.
Armando:
Listen up!
Never ask a question if you
don't already know the answer!
Mia:
(It's that detective's fault!
He's the one that said,
"unknown person"...!)
Gumshoe:
Hey now!
Don't make that face at me!
Gumshoe:
I just said it that way 'cause
the prosecutor told me to!
Mia:
(Was that... a trap...?)
Mia:
(...With that cute face,
I didn't expect him to
be so sneaky.)
Edgeworth:
Hmph.
(2)
Gumshoe:
Sergeant Hawthorne went to
Dusky Bridge at the designaed
time and met with Mr. Fawles.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
A bridge up in the mountains?
But why meet there?
Gumshoe:
Because it is a very important
place to the defendant,
that's why.
Judge:
What do you mean by that?
Edgeworth:
If you remember, 5 years ago,
the defendant kidnapped
a young girl.
Edgeworth:
He was chased onto a bridge...
And it was there that he
killed his hostage.
Edgeworth:
And the place where all of
this occurred is, of course,
Dusky Bridge.
Mia:
...!
Gumshoe:
The very place where
Sergeant Hawthorne arrested
and handcuffed Mr. Fawles.
Armando:
Ha...!
Returning to the scene of the
crime... How nostalgic.
(3)
Gumshoe:
And that's where she was
brutally murdered, sir.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Was the body of the victim
discovered right away?
Gumshoe:
Yeah.
We were really on the ball.
Gumshoe:
We found the criminal within
one hour of the murder.
Gumshoe:
It was great! We even got to
say, "Don't move! We've got
you surrounded!"
Mia:
(...Wait a second.
Isn't there something weird
about that...?)
Armando:
The location was a suspension
bridge, up in the mountains.
Armando:
So how did they find out
about the crime so quickly...?
Mia:
Sergeant Hawthorne must have
mentioned the phone call to
someone else, right?
Armando;
Ha...!
Armando:
If that's what had happened,
then she wouldn't have been
killed.
Gumshoe:
She never mentioned the
phone call from Mr. Fawles.
But...
Gumshoe:
She left a note on her
desk about it.
Gumshoe:
If only I had noticed it
earlier...
Maybe she'd still be alive.
Mia:
(I wonder why she didn't
mention the phone call to
anyone...?)
(4)
Gumshoe:
The criminal stuffed her body
into his car trunk and tried
to make a getaway.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Mr. Fawles had a car, then?
Gumshoe:
Well, that bridge is way up
in the mountains, ma'am.
Gumshoe:
The defendant and the victim
both went up there by car.
I mean, how else, right?
Judge:
What! You mean the
defendant drove his own car?
Gumshoe:
No, no, of course not.
...It was stolen.
Gumshoe:
He stole it from a
young couple that had been
waiting at a red light.
Judge:
Hmm... Car thieves...
I'm not sure how I feel
about car thieves.
Mia:
(Is this guy sure about how
he feels about ANYTHING?)
Gumshoe:
This is a photo of the stolen
car's trunk.
Gumshoe:
...Naturally, that's the body
of Valerie Hawthorne in there.
Judge:
Whoa! That...
That doesn't look too
comfortable...
*Crime Photo added to
the Court Record.*
Mia:
The victim...
She was stabbed in the back,
correct?
Gumshoe:
Yeah.
Armando:
Ha...!
Armando:
...For some reason, men
always seem to get stabbed
in the back...
Mia:
(We're talking about a
woman here...)
Gumshoe:
You can't tell from this
photo, but...
Gumshoe:
...the knife was stuck in her
back nice and firm.
Judge:
The condition of the body
when it was discovered is
very important information.
Judge:
Detective, was there anything
strange or noteworthy in the
trunk of the car?
ADD STATEMENT (4b)
(4b)
Gumshoe:
Here's a photo of the trunk.
But I don't see anything
strange, do you? Anyway...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
What did the defendant
have to say about this photo?
Gumshoe:
What he always says, ma'am!
Fawles:
I din't do it!
I din't do nuttin'!!
Gumshoe:
...That's all he says.
Judge:
"Nuttin'"? I wouldn't say
he did "nuttin'". At the very
least, we know he stole a car!
Gumshoe:
It's just what he always says,
Your Honor.
And then he always says...
Fawles:
...
Uh.
Sorry. I told a little lie.
Gumshoe:
...Or something like that.
Mia:
...
Judge:
Well, in any case, it seems
he was caught and arrested.
Edgeworth:
Precisely.
(5)
Gumshoe:
Mr. Fawles was arrested at a
police checkpoint we set up
at the base of the mountain.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
That certainly is some
impressive police work.
Gumshoe:
Well, no, actually it was
way too close for comfort.
Gumshoe:
We set up that checkpoint
just after 5:00 PM...
Gumshoe:
We figured that Mr. Fawles
might just try to run.
Mia:
...What do you mean it was
too close for comfort?
Edgeworth:
The two of them arranged
to meet at 4:30 PM.
Edgeworth:
And it takes approximately 30
minutes to go from the bridge
to the checkpoint.
Mia:
(Hmm... That WAS kinda close.
Any later and Mr. Fawles could
have slipped right by.)
--------------------------------------------
Armando:
Listen up, Kitten.
There's a big trap waiting for
you in that testimony.
Mia:
A t-trap?
Armando:
Walk into it carelessly, and
it'll leave more than just
a flesh wound. Fun, huh?
Mia:
No, it's NOT!
Armando:
Well, if you want to have any
chance at all, you'd better
get some more information.
Armando:
And if you're going to get
caught in a trap, it's best to
get caught early.
Armando:
You can always look for
contradictions afterwards.
Mia:
(The ever-famous
"contradictions". I sure hope
I can find some of those...)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

*Present Victim's Note* at (4b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
...Witness!
Mia:
............
Gumshoe:
............
Edgeworth:
............
Judge:
............
Judge:
Wh-What is it...?
Do you have something
to say, Ms. Fey!?
Mia:
I-I'm sorry!
I-I totally forgot what I was
going to say...
Mia:
This is... This is the first
time I've ever had to actually
address someone like that...
Judge:
Grrgh...
You should have practiced
before coming to court!
Judge:
Honestly, Ms. Fey...
I'm not sure I like this!
Armando:
Hmph...!
Say there, little Kitten, want
a piece of my coffee candy?
Mia:
Candy?
Armando:
Well, you're still too young
to be drinking real coffee.
Mia:
(Grrr... Come on, Mia!
Shake it off!
You're a lawyer!)
Mia:
Detective!
Gumshoe:
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Mia:
This photo...
Mia:
You said that there was
nothing peculiar about it.
...Is that correct?
Gumshoe:
Y-Yeah, that's what I said!
Mia:
Well then, I suggest you take
another look at the note
written by the victim!
Gumshoe:
The n-n-note...?
Mia:
It very clearly says,
"Wear white scarf for
identification."...
Mia:
The caller must have forgotten
what the victim looked like.
Thus, this special request.
Gumshoe:
Aaah... I, umm...!
Mia:
I have one very simple
question for you, Detective.
Where is the white scarf?
Mia:
I can't seem to find it in
this photo...
Gumshoe:
Um... Well, to be honest,
we didn't find it in the
trunk, ma'am...
Mia:
And you stopped there!?
You should have looked for it!
Gumshoe:
Aaaaaaarrrggg...!
Judge:
The caller told her to wear it
to identify herself, so I'd
expect she did just that!
Judge:
Well, Mr. Edgeworth!?
What do you have to say
about this!?
Edgeworth:
*sigh*
Edgeworth:
I see the defense is a
little... lacking.
Mia:
...!
Edgeworth:
The scarf you are searching
so desperately for...
...Is it this one, perchance?
Mia:
...Ah!
Gumshoe:
Wh-Where did you find that,
sir!?
Edgeworth:
On Dusky Bridge. I was there
first, and decided to conduct
my own investigation.
Gumshoe:
Wh-Why...?
Why didn't you tell me?
Edgeworth:
I made a decision to keep
all pieces of evidence in my
personal satchel.
Edgeworth:
It's the safest place I know.
Armando:
Hmph!
That hot-shot sure has a flair
for the dramatic...
Edgeworth:
It's not exactly "white", as
the caller requested...
Edgeworth:
But as you can see, it's
close enough, for what it
was intended for.
Judge:
Hmmm...
It looks like it spent some
time in the mud.
Edgeworth:
Not surprising...
It was drizzling on the
mountain that day.
Mia:
(Prosecutor Edgeworth...
He was intentionally hiding
that scarf the whole time!)
Judge:
The court will accept the
scarf into evidence.
*Scarf added to the
Court Record.*
Edgeworth:
Now, if the attorney for the
defense is finished
embarrassing herself...
Edgeworth:
...I'd like to move on with
the testimony. That IS alright
with you, isn't it, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
(Boy would I like to wrap this
scarf around his smarmy little
neck...)
Edgeworth:
Very good. Now, if we're done
with this mud-covered scarf
business...
Edgeworth:
...the prosecution moves to
establish conclusively, and
with hard evidence that...
Edgeworth:
...Ms. Hawthorne and
Mr. Fawles did indeed meet
on that bridge that day.
Edgeworth:
Further, we will show exactly
what occurred there.
Judge:
That sounds quite promising.
I can't wait to hear all
about it.
Mia:
(Argh... Everything is moving
at his whim...)
Armando:
Don't forget, Kitten.
There's a reason why everyone
considers this kid a genius.
Mia:
(A genius, huh...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Events on Dusky Bridge --
(1)
Gumshoe:
Actually, there's an
eyewitness who was there
when the incident took place.
(2)
Gumshoe:
This photo was accidentally
taken by the witness. It shows
her wearing the scarf, sir.
(3)
Gumshoe:
It was drizzling that day;
unfortunately, it's a little
hard to see what's going on.
(4)
Gumshoe:
Anyway, the criminal shoved
the victim down from behind
and stabbed her in the back!
(5)
Gumshoe:
...That must have been
when the scarf fell off.
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm.
Looking at this photo...
Judge:
...you really get the sense
that this bridge is very high
up.
Edgeworth:
It is about a 40 feet drop
from the bridge to the Eagle
River down below.
Judge:
Mr. Edgeworth, who took this
photo anyway?
Edgeworth:
Let's just say that it was a
well-intentioned third party.
Judge:
Aha! A potential witness!
So why isn't this person
in the courtroom?
Gumshoe:
Well... They said they
absolutely did not want
to testify.
Edgeworth:
...The person in question is
very delicate, Your Honor.
Edgeworth:
Besides, as long as we have
this photo, we see no reason
to compel her to testify.
Judge:
...
I'm not sure how I feel
about that!
*Witness's Photo added
to the Court Record.*
Edgeworth:
So, as you can see,
Terry Fawles had both the
motive and the opportunity.
Edgeworth:
I think it's quite clear at
this point what happened on
that bridge.
Judge:
...
Hmm.
Judge:
Aha! The truth is becoming
clear to me now!
Mia:
Huh?
Judge:
Yes, it's quite obvious.
He's clearly guilty.
Mia:
N-Not again!
That's not fair!
Mia:
I haven't even done my
cross-examination yet!
Judge:
Hmm...
Mia:
(What do you mean, "Hmm"!?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Events on Dusky Bridge --
(1)
Gumshoe:
Actually, there's an
eyewitness who was there
when the incident took place.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Who is this eyewitness?
Gumshoe:
She's a college student!
Mia:
A female college student...?
Gumshoe:
That's right!
Meaning she's "female" AND
a "college student", ma'am!
Gumshoe:
She doesn't do well in
front of other people, so I
came to testify for her.
Mia:
Maybe so! But as the attorney
for the defense, I have the
right to cross-examine her...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
For the time being, we're not
relying on the witness's
statements... That is all.
Mia:
Wh-What is that supposed
to mean!?
Edgeworth:
...The prosecution has other,
more decisive evidence.
Edgeworth:
Our case doesn't rest on the
vague testimony of a
female college student.
Judge:
A female college student, eh.
Gumshoe:
It means she's "female" AND
a "college student", sir!
Edgeworth:
If you absolutely must hear
her testimony, you'll have to
give us a good reason why.
Mia:
Grrr...
Judge:
Please tell us about the
more decisive evidence in
question.
(2)
Gumshoe:
This photo was accidentally
taken by the witness. It shows
her wearing the scarf, sir.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
(The victim is wearing a
scarf in that photo alright.)
Mia:
So, about the witness who
took this photo...
Mia:
What was this person doing
all the way in the mountains?
Gumshoe:
She was taking photos of
wild flowers apparently.
Edgeworth:
There are many unusual types
of flora on that mountain,
Ms. Fey.
Edgeworth:
People in the area say
it's because of the spirits
that live there.
Judge:
S-S-Spirits!
Now that you mention it,
th-this photo...
Judge:
This cloudy fog-like thing...
Is-Is it a ghost!?
I-I don't believe it!
Gumshoe:
No, Your Honor, no...
I don't think it's a ghost.
(3)
Gumshoe:
It was drizzling that day;
unfortunately, it's a little
hard to see what's going on.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Drizzling, huh?
Gumshoe:
That's right. There was a
light rain coming down.
The whole place was dreary...
Gumshoe:
...But not as dreary as the
mood that's in this court
room right now. Ha ha.
Mia:
...
Edgeworth:
...
Judge:
...
Gumshoe:
...Looks like a cold front
just moved in.
Edgeworth:
In any case...
Edgeworth:
The point is that the area
was quite damp.
There was even some fog.
Gumshoe:
I even slipped and fell while
I was on the bridge.
It was really something.
(4)
Gumshoe:
Anyway, the criminal shoved
the victim down from behind
and stabbed her in the back!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Is that part of the witness's
testimony as well?
Gumshoe:
Of course it is.
Gumshoe:
He pushed the victim hard in
the back and she fell down
right on her stomach!
Judge:
Hmm...
Judge:
...I remember that happening
once myself.
It was really broodle.
Mia:
...
Mia:
(Are you talking about seeing
someone get pushed, or were
you the one getting pushed?)
Mia:
(Or does it mean that you
pushed someone down like
that once...?)
Mia:
(With his mind-boggling tales
and the way he said, "brutal",
I wonder if he's Canadian...)
Armando:
Ha...!
Armando:
Save your nasty look for
the right person.
Mia:
Huh...?
Armando:
...Take a look.
Armando:
Poor baby... The Court Record
seems to have wet itself.
Mia:
Hey! Watch where you
spill your coffee!
Mia:
(The Court Record, huh...)
(5)
Gumshoe:
...That must have been
when the scarf fell off.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So in other words, there was
a struggle between the
criminal and the victim, huh?
Gumshoe:
That's what the witness said.
Gumshoe:
Well.
It looks like she didn't
remember about the scarf.
Gumshoe:
But from what she said,
it sounded like a pretty
violent fight, ma'am.
Mia:
(The area was wet from rain.
The bridge was probably wet,
too.)
Mia:
(Which would explain why the
scarf was all covered in
mud, but...)
Mia:
(There's something about
this testimony that's still
bothering me...)
--------------------------------------------
Armando:
Heh, talk about a surprise.
I had no idea there was
a photo.
Mia:
S-So what do I do... ?
Armando:
You really still believe him?
Mr. Crybaby, I mean?
Mia:
Of course I do!
Armando:
Hmph...!
So the little kitten believes
in fairy tales, huh...
Armando:
In that case, the answer
is obvious.
Armando:
If what you believe is
the truth...
Armando:
...then that means that
somewhere, hidden in that
testimony, is a contradiction.
Armando:
One huge contradiction
waiting to be discovered.
...That's your chance.
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

*Present Crime Photo* at (4)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
So at the time of the crime,
there was a light drizzle
coming down, correct?
Gumshoe:
Yeah, and fog, too.
Just a generally soggy
atmosphere.
Mia:
Well, I have evidence
that doesn't go with
the soggy atmosphere.
Judge:
But this is a photo of the
victim's body that was found
in the car trunk.
Mia:
Considering the conditions
at the scene of the crime,
something isn't right.
Edgeworth:
...
Judge:
Well by all means...
Please enlighten us as to
what isn't right!

What is it about this photo of
the trunk that doesn't fit

*Present victim's coat*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
Naturally the answer is...
right here!
Judge:
The victim's... coat?
Judge:
As far as I can see, there
is nothing strange about it.
Mia:
That's exactly what's strange!
Mia:
Remember the testimony!
What were the conditions
on the bridge that day?
Mia:
It was drizzling and foggy.
Dusky Bridge was all wet.
Mia:
If the victim really had
fallen down on her stomach
on top of the bridge...
Mia:
...then the front of her coat
should have been covered
in mud!
Gumshoe:
Urk...!
Edgeworth:
...!
Judge:
That...
That's exactly right!
Judge:
The other day I fell on a
muddy street and my gorgeous
playoff beard was befouled!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
...I do admit that the
crime scene was quite wet
that day.
Edgeworth:
However! That doesn't mean
that the top of the bridge
itself was muddy!
Edgeworth:
If Your Honor had fallen in
the shower instead of on a
muddy street...
Edgeworth:
...his glorious hockey beard,
pride of the Legal League,
would be wet, but not muddy!
Judge:
Fortunately, I have yet to
test that. Still, your point
is well-taken.
Edgeworth:
Can you prove that the
surface of the bridge
was muddy that day?
Mia:
(The surface of the bridge,
huh...)
Armando:
Ha...!
A real man wouldn't
stand for a taunt like this!
Mia:
(Neither would a real woman!)
Mia:
Of course I can!
Edgeworth:
...!
Mia:
Here is the evidence that
proves the surface of the
bridge was muddy!
xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Mia:
x *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Mia:
x The evidence is...
x
x Armando:
x Wait a minute.
x
x Mia:
x Wh-What is it?
x Your timing is terrible...!
x
x Armando:
x If you present that
x evidence, it would be like...
x
x Armando:
x Like jumping off a 100-story
x building into a bubbling pool
x of magma.
x
x Armando:
x ...After tying a 10-ton
x boulder around your neck.
x
x Mia:
x What is THAT supposed
x to mean?
x
x Armando:
x To put it simply...
x It would be suicide.
x
x Mia:
x (Why didn't he just put it
x simply in the first place...?)
x
x Edgeworth:
x Is your little chat finished?
x Can we move on now?
x
x Mia:
x Y-Yes...
x I-I've changed my mind.
x
x Judge:
x Life is short, Ms. Fey.
x Hurry it up already!
x
x Mia:
x Yes, Your Honor!
x The defense is now prepared
x to show our evidence!

*Present Scarf*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
The evidence is...
this scarf!
Judge:
Ah...!
Mia:
It should be obvious...
Mia:
If the scarf fell onto the
bridge and got this muddy...
Mia:
It means that the bridge
was obviously covered in mud!
Edgeworth:
Urrrnngh...!
No... I can't be outwitted by
this novice bimbo...!
Mia:
(Hey! Same to you, buddy!)
Judge:
Ms. Fey's assertion makes
perfect sense to me...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
I do admit that there
appears to be a
contradiction between...
Edgeworth:
...the condition of the
victim's coat and her
scarf.
Edgeworth:
However!
The real question is... why is
there a contradiction?
Mia:
Huh?
Edgeworth:
For every contradiction,
there exists an explanation.
Edgeworth:
Let's look at what the
explanation in this case
may be, shall we?
Mia:
A-Alright...!
(It's not like he's really
giving me a choice here...)
Armando:
Ha...!
Armando:
You're doing pretty good.
...For a little kitten.
Mia:
M-Mr. Armando!
Armando:
No matter what he says, a
contradiction always comes
down to a lie.
Armando:
It's either the victim
discovered in the trunk...
Armando:
...the witness's photo showing
the defendant and the
victim...
Armando:
...or the witness's testimony
that stated she saw the
moment of the murder.
Armando:
Just relax and think it over.
It's pretty simple, isn't it?
Armando:
The false evidence...
It's one of those three.
Judge:
Hmph! What you said just now!
I'm not sure I like that!
Mia:
Th-That wasn't me, Your Honor!
It was the coffee aficionado
over here that said it!
Judge:
This court is not in the
habit of accepting false
evidence, you know!
Armando:
Blame it on him, Your Honor.
He's the one trying to slip
false evidence into the court.
Mia:
...!
Armando:
But we won't let him!
We'll expose his evidence as
the flimsy scam it really is!
Mia:
Y-Yes!
Mia:
The false evidence in
this case is the...
*** witness's photo. ***********************
*
* Mia:
* About the photo that the
* prosecution claims was taken
* by a witness...
*
* Mia:
* It certainly seems to show
* a man in a prison uniform
* and a woman in a coat.
*
* Mia:
* However! We can't tell any
* more than that from the photo!
*
* Edgeworth:
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* Edgeworth:
* Are you saying the people in
* the photo may not be the
* victim and the defendant?
*
* Mia:
* W-Well, that's certainly
* a possibility!
*
* Edgeworth:
* So perhaps it was another
* prisoner and policewoman?
*
* Edgeworth:
* I admit, people have their
* quirks. Perhaps they were part
* of a role-playing group?
*
* Mia:
* W-Well, I suppose that's
* also p-possible... I guess...
*
* Armando:
* You messed up again... Kitten.
*
* Mia:
* M-Mr. Armando!
*
* Armando:
* There should be something
* else that's even more
* suspicious.
*
* Armando:
* Now think the whole thing
* over again.
*
* Judge:
* From this point on, Ms. Fey,
* I will penalize you for making
* unsubstantiated accusations!
*
* Mia:
* (Ugggh... Don't do it, Mia!
* Don't cry until you get home!)

*** body in the trunk. *********************
*
* Mia:
* If the victim really did try
* to repel her killer and if she
* did fall down on the bridge...
*
* Mia:
* ...then you would expect her
* coat to be dirty.
*
* Mia:
* Therefore! The body that
* was found in the trunk of
* the car...
*
* Mia:
* It was NOT the body of

*
* Judge:
* Wh-What do you have to

*
* Edgeworth:
* *sigh*
* Objection.
*
* Judge:
* Hmm...
* Not only a whisper, but he

*
* Edgeworth:
* Valerie Hawthorne was more

Mia:
It is a no-brainer.
Obviously it's the witness
that's suspicious!
Mia:
During his earlier testimony,
the detective pointed out
a crucial fact.
Mia:
"The criminal shoved the
victim down from behind
and stabbed her in the back."
Mia:
Now, is that testimony
exactly what the witness
claims to have seen?
Gumshoe:
Yeah.
...That's what the witness
told us.
Mia:
That testimony...
is filled with holes.
Mia:
After all, the victim's coat
isn't dirty at all.
Judge:
Hmm... That's true.
Armando:
Ha...!
It's not just true.
It's the truth.
Armando:
If there was a truly decisive
witness in this case...
Armando:
...I'm certain that boy wonder
over there would have called
them in the first place!
Mia:
...Your Honor!
Mia:
The defense requests
to cross-examine the
eyewitness!
Mia:
The testimony presented so
far is not only vague, but
contradictory as well!
Judge:
Well, Mr. Edgeworth?
Judge:
It appears that we'll need
to hear from your mystery
witness after all.
Edgeworth:
...
*sigh*
You should brace yourself.
Edgeworth:
...For the brutal truth.
Mia:
...?
Edgeworth:
Your Honor, the prosecution
has no intention of hiding the
witness from the court.
Edgeworth:
We are prepared to present
our witness at any time.
Judge:
Very well...
Please bring forth your
witness at this time.
Mia:
(What Mr. Edgeworth said...
kind of worries me...)
Mia:
(What does he mean by
"the brutal truth"?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge:
Now, let's proceed with the
testimony.
Judge:
Mr. Edgeworth.
Please go right ahead.
Edgeworth:
Thank you, Your Honor.
The prosecution summons...
Edgeworth:
...the woman who saw the
events that day with her
very own eyes.
Mia:
(This is it, Mia! The battle
begins here!)
--------------------------------------------
Edgeworth:
...Witness.
What is your name and
occupation?
Edgeworth:
...
Judge:
...
Mia:
(Everyone is so silent that
I can hear their hearts going
pitter-patter...)
Judge:
Hmm... Ohh...
Judge:
When I look at you...
How can I put it...?
Judge:
You look as scrumptous as a
double-double and a dozen
doughnut holes...
Judge:
I feel like I want to hurry
up and hand down a verdict
just to have a bite...
Mia:
(Hey, hey! Not so fast!)
Edgeworth:
...*sigh*
As I said before...
Edgeworth:
This witness is very
sensitive and delicate.
Edgeworth:
I would ask the court to
please exercise care when
addressing her.
Judge:
Yes, indeed...
Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.
You are a true gentleman.
Judge:
Ms. Fey!
You could learn a lot from
this man!
Mia:
(...If he's such a gentleman,
he sure doesn't act like one
to me.)
? ? ?:
Umm... Sir?
Judge:
Hmmm...
Eh? Yes, my dear?
? ? ?:
This is my first time,
so I'm sure I'll make a
lot of mistakes.
? ? ?:
Anyway... I just wanted to
say I'm sorry for all the
trouble I might cause...
Judge:
Hmmmmm...
Not at all! It's no trouble
at all!
Mia:
Now then...
May we please have your
name and occupation?
Melissa:
My name is, umm...
...Melissa Foster.
Melissa:
I'm a college student...
A-A freshman in the
literature department.
Edgeworth:
You were on the scene
when the unfortunate event
occurred, correct?
Mia:
...And you were the one
who took this photo?
Is that accurate?
Melissa:
Waaaaaah!
H-How can you be so mean...?
Judge:
Now see here! What are you
doing shoving that in her face
like that!?
Mia:
Huh? B-But it's just a
photograph! It's not like
it's something dangerous!
Judge:
Next time I'll be forced
to penalize you!
Mia:
(Uh oh... I don't like the
turn this has taken...)
Melissa:
...
Mia:
...?
(Is she... staring at me?)
Melissa:
Umm...
And you would be...?
Mia:
Huh?
I-I'm the defense lawyer.
...My name is Mia Fey.
Melissa:
...
Melissa:
...I see.
So you are...
Judge:
Now then, young lady.
Could you please give us
your testimony?
Melissa:
Yes, Your Honor...
I-I'll do my best.

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Witness's Photograph --
(1)
Melissa:
I... I was using my camera to
take some pictures of wild
flowers.
(2)
Melissa:
Then, I noticed there were
two people standing up on
the suspension bridge.
(3)
Melissa:
Suddenly, they just
started fighting!
(4)
Melissa:
That's when I hurried
and took the photo that
shows the crucial moment.
(5)
Melissa:
And right after that,
I called the police.
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm...
Judge:
By the way, where were
you standing when the
incident occurred...?
Edgeworth:
I believe the map would
be of help here.
Melissa:
Umm... I was standing right
over... here.
Melissa:
I was standing in a
beautiful field, surrounded
by tall cliffs.
Judge:
So you took the photo
from that location, eh.
Melissa:
I brought the camera I was
using at the time, just like
Mr. Edgeworth asked me to.
Judge:
Ho ho ho.
What a cute camera...
Just like its owner.
*Camera added to the
Court Record.*
Judge:
...Alright then, Ms. Fey.
Time for your cross-
examination.
Judge:
But I warn you, make the
witness cry again, and you'll
feel the wrath of my gavel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Witness's Photograph --
(1)
Melissa:
I... I was using my camera to
take some pictures of wild
flowers.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Did you say... "wild flowers"?
Melissa:
Yes, the mountain is
famous for its beautiful
spring wild flowers.
Mia:
Umm... But it's only February.
Melissa:
Well, I... I couldn't wait
for Spring to come.
Judge:
Ho ho...
I know just how you feel!
Judge:
It's just like when I first
started growing this glorious
beard of mine...
Judge:
I just couldn't wait, so I
wore a dyed blonde Santa beard
until mine grew in properly.
Edgeworth:
...Would you mind if we got
back to the facts of the
case, Your Honor?
(2)
Melissa:
Then, I noticed there were
two people standing up on
the suspension bridge.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Was there anything strange
about the two of them?
Melissa:
I... I'm a bad girl.
...I know I am.
Melissa:
It looked like they were
having a really serious
conversation up there...
Melissa:
...So I decided to watch them.
Like some kind of Peeping Tom.
Judge:
No, not at all!
Everyone is like that!
Judge:
I love watching other
people fight, too. In fact,
I can't get enough of it!
Judge:
...Actually, that's why I
took this job in the first
place.
Mia:
(Too much info, Your Honor!)
Edgeworth:
...In any case, it's perfectly
natural for you to have
kept watching them.
Edgeworth:
Especially dressed as they
were...
Melissa:
Well, anyway... I was
watching them very closely.
(3)
Melissa:
Suddenly, they just
started fighting!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Do you have any idea what
they were fighting about?
Melissa:
Eh? No... I have no idea.
Why do you ask that?
Mia:
Oh, I just thought that
maybe you overheard
what they said...
Melissa:
...
Mia:
...!
Melissa:
I would never...
I would never eavesdrop...
Melissa:
I've got more class than that!
Judge:
That's right, Ms. Fey!
Don't drag the witness down
to your level!
Mia:
(Grrrr...!)
(4)
Melissa:
That's when I hurried
and took the photo that
shows the crucial moment.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Why did you take a photo?
Melissa:
Well, the two of them were
really going at it...
Melissa:
Ever since I was a little
girl, I always wanted to be
a news reporter...
Melissa:
I guess that part of me
just kind of took over...
Mia:
(Smells like a lie to me...)
Judge:
Yes, I understand completely!
Judge:
Even now, I can't completely
abandon my boyhood dreams...
Judge:
I still use my grandson to
test my comedy routines on!
Mia:
(So he wanted to be a
comedian, huh. ...Not that it
has any bearing on this.)
Melissa:
All I could do was to
use my camera.
Melissa:
So I took the photo of
the crucial moment and
gave it to the police.
(4b)
Melissa:
The victim turned around
and tried to run away, but...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
The victim...
Why do you think she tried
to run away?
Melissa:
Umm...
Mia:
With her police training, she
certainly knew better than to
turn her back on a criminal...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
This was a large, powerful
man with a knife.
Edgeworth:
If it had been a quaggy woman
like you, I'm sure she would
have acted differently.
Mia:
("Quaggy"!? Why you...!)
Judge:
If it had been me, I probably
would have jumped into the
river!
Mia:
(There's still something
wrong with this testimony...)
(5)
Melissa:
And right after that,
I called the police.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You called the police?
Melissa:
Yes. Because it looked to me
like the murderer was going to
try to escape.
Edgeworth:
...We were already moving
before the call even came in.
Edgeworth:
Thanks to the victim's note,
we had already started our
operation.
Judge:
Hmm...
That was certainly tough
luck for the criminal, eh.
(5b)
Melissa:
She only got about 10 yards
before she was stabbed
in the back.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So you're saying
Sergeant Hawthorne wasn't
able to get away from him...?
Melissa:
Well, it's a narrow bridge
and it was swaying back
and forth...
Melissa:
If you ask me, both of them
were in danger of falling off.
Melissa:
I only wish I could have
done something to help her...
Judge:
Hmmmm...
That seems to make sense.
Mia:
I wonder about that...
Something seems kind
of off...
Armando:
Ha...!
You have a good sixth sense.
Armando:
When you feel that something's
off, that's when you need to
figure out why...
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(If Terry Fawles isn't
the criminal...)
Mia:
(Then there must be
something strange in that
girl's testimony!)
Armando:
Be careful, Kitten.
Armando:
That girl has the judge
wrapped right around her
little finger.
Armando:
You're going to have a tough
time poking holes in that
testimony of hers.
Mia:
(You're going to have to
come up with something
really good, Mia!)
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Present Witness's Photo* at (4)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
...Witness.
Mia:
When you said you took a
photo of the crucial moment,
is this what you meant?
Melissa:
Err...
Mia:
All I can see in this photo
are two people facing
each other.
Mia:
You testified that you saw
the two of them starting to
fight.
Mia:
Normally that's the kind of
thing we would refer to as
a crucial moment!
Mia:
Why haven't you presented
a photo like that!?
Melissa:
...W-Well, you see...
Edgeworth:
...The photo we presented
was the only one there was.
Mia:
But if you really wanted to
capture the crucial moment...
Mia:
...then what happened next?
You must have taken a photo
of it!
Judge:
Hm...
Hmmmmm... Doh!
Judge:
Err... Umm...
My apologies, young lady...
Judge:
But Ms. Fey's assertion
is not without a certain
amount of merit...
Mia:
(He can certainly downplay
a situation, can't he...)
Melissa:
...I-I'm sorry...
...I'm a very bad girl.
Melissa:
I umm...
I used it all up...
The film, I mean.
Judge:
You ran out of film!?
Melissa:
Err, this photo was the
last one.
Mia:
What!?
Edgeworth:
Unfortunately, that is the
truth.
Edgeworth:
...I personally examined all
of the photographs she took
that day.
Edgeworth:
All the other photos are of
the witness herself, playing
among the wild flowers.
Mia:
The witness herself?
Then who took the photos?
Melissa:
Well... You see...
My camera has a timer
feature built into it.
Mia:
So, you took photos of
yourself!?
Judge:
Hmm...
I remember taking some photos
of myself once, too!
Mia:
(Please! No details...!)
Judge:
...It seems that Ms. Fey's
assertion was not so decisive
after all.
Mia:
W-Wait!
Just a minute!
Judge:
Well, if she had no film left,
she couldn't very well take
more pictures, eh.
Edgeworth:
Ms. Foster, perhaps then
you could tell us about a
different sort of photo.
Edgeworth:
Photos of the incident that
you "took" with your very
own eyes.
Melissa:
Mr. Edgeworth...
You're quite the poet!
Judge:
Very well then! Let's get back
to the cross-examination.
Judge:
...Let's hear your thoughts
on the fight that you
witnessed!
Melissa:
Yes... Mr. Judge.
Mia:
(Boy, this guy is really a
sucker for sweet talk...)
Armando:
Ha...!
Armando:
It looks like the other kitten
in the room is the one that's
getting all the attention.
Mia:
Yeah, it's sickening.

*Present Dusky Bridge Map* at (4b) or (5b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Witness!
Your testimony is a joke!
Melissa:
Huh... Wh-What...?
B-But I... I just...
Judge:
Ms. Fey!
I thought I warned you not
to make the witness cry!
Mia:
One short testimony and
two bad contradictions...
Mia:
There's no possible excuse!
Judge:
You say there were...
two contradictions!?
Mia:
It's simple.
Just take a look at the
diagram of the area.
Mia:
According to her testimony,
the two of them were in the
middle of the bridge.
Mia:
But if they were, and the
victim had turned around
and tried to run...
Mia:
Well, then...
Judge:
S-She would've hit a
dead-end...!
Mia:
You said 10 yards, but she
couldn't have ran even 5!
Mia:
Because Dusky Bridge is
collapsed on that side!
Melissa:
Waaaaaah!
Judge:
Wh-What does all this
mean!?
Mia:
It's very simple, Your Honor.
Mia:
This charming, little witness
told a charming, little lie.
Mia:
That's all there is to it.
Melissa:
Nnnn...ggg...urk...
Judge:
Th-This beautiful, young
lady has been l-lying
to the court...?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Just a moment, Your Honor.
Mia:
(M-Mr. Edgeworth...!)
Edgeworth:
Your Honor...
Allow me to personally
apologize for the confusion.
Judge:
What do you mean?
Edgeworth:
There's one major mistake
in this diagram.
Mia:
What did you say!?
Judge:
What are you referring to?
Edgeworth:
It's all because this diagram
was made after the incident
occurred.
Edgeworth:
It's a very old bridge...
We couldn't find any
official blueprints of it.
Judge:
S-So you're saying...?
Edgeworth:
I'm saying that even though
this bridge is currently
in disrepair...
Edgeworth:
...there's no evidence that
can prove that the bridge was
broken during the incident.
Mia:
Th-That's ridiculous...!
Edgeworth:
You can't actually tell the
condition of the bridge from
this photo...
Edgeworth:
I apologize to the court for
not being more clear when
I presented the evidence.
Judge:
Hmm.
Hmmmm...
Armando:
Ha...!
That guy is good.
Mia:
Huh? What do you mean?
Armando:
He planned it from the
beginning.
Armando:
He's a genius alright...
That diagram of the bridge
was his insurance policy.
Mia:
(What!? That coward!)
Judge:
Well, Ms. Fey...
It seems you've once again
made a reckless accusation.
Mia:
...!
Melissa:
I-I'm so sorry!
I should have been more
careful myself...!
Judge:
No, no, no, no!
It wasn't YOUR fault at all!
Edgeworth:
Now then...
Shall we go on with the trial?
Edgeworth:
I'd like to establish, once
and for all, what it was that
the witness actually saw.
Judge:
Indeed.
Judge:
Alright, young lady...
Judge:
May I ask you to please
proceed with your testimony?
Melissa:
But I...
It's so hard to go on...!
Judge:
We're all on your side,
Ms. Foster!
Edgeworth:
There's no need to worry.
Just tell us what you saw.
Melissa:
Y-Yes, sir!

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Running From the Crime --
(1)
Melissa:
After he stabbed her in the
back, he quickly picked her
up in his arms.
(2)
Melissa:
Then he carried her over
to the car.
(3)
Melissa:
I suppose that was the
only way he could make
sure the body stayed hidden.
(4)
Melissa:
He couldn't just leave the
body on top of the bridge.
(5)
Melissa:
Oh, I'm sorry... I'm only
supposed to talk about what
I saw.
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm...
Witnessing such violence
must have been difficult.
Melissa:
Yes, sir...
I-I'm still shaken up...
Armando:
If he accepts this testimony
as it is, we're finished.
Mia:
D-Don't say that...!
Armando:
Oh well...
Maybe I'll stop off at my
favorite café on the way home.
Armando:
They make a really great
mocha latté...
Mia:
This trial isn't over yet!
Armando:
Ha...!
That's what I like to hear...
Judge:
Alright, Ms. Fey.
Your cross-examination,
if you please.
Mia:
(The contradiction is staring
you right in the face, Mia!
Go on the attack!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Running From the Crime --
(1)
Melissa:
After he stabbed her in the
back, he quickly picked her
up in his arms.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Are you saying that the
victim didn't fall down
on the bridge?
Melissa:
Err... Umm...
Actually, maybe she did fall.
Edgeworth:
Of course she didn't fall
down on the bridge.
Edgeworth:
If she had fallen down,
this photo wouldn't make
any sense.
Edgeworth:
If that was the case, her
coat would've been all muddy.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
If you don't mind, I was
asking the witness!
Edgeworth:
*sigh*
No need to be so rude.
Judge:
Well, young lady?
Melissa:
...
Melissa:
Of course she didn't
fall down.
Melissa:
The man in the prison uniform
grabbed her before she could.
Mia:
...
Armando:
Ha...!
We're one step too slow...
Edgeworth:
And then, what did the
defendant do after that?
(2)
Melissa:
Then he carried her over
to the car.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You personally witnessed that?
Melissa:
Y-Yes...
Mia:
Did anything strange happen
when he did that?
Melissa:
Well, I don't know if you'd
call it strange or not...
Melissa:
...but that's when the
victim's scarf fell off.
Judge:
Hmm...
You mean this scarf!?
Edgeworth:
Her words match what we
found at the scene.
I don't see any problem...
(3)
Melissa:
I suppose that was the
only way he could make
sure the body stayed hidden.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You mean the defendant carried
the body all by himself?
Melissa:
Y-Yes...
Edgeworth:
Considering the size of the
defendant, I don't think it
would be difficult.
Mia:
Yes, but... Let's remember
they were on a narrow bridge
that was ready to collapse!
Mia:
Is it even possible for him to
have carried a dead body on
a bridge like that...?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Well, the fact of the
matter is that he DID!
Edgeworth:
That kind of talk is just
silly!
Mia:
(Wow... Why did he get so
emotional all of a sudden?)
Judge:
Ms. Fey, if you think there's
some other possibility, please
share it with the rest of us.
(3b)
Melissa:
The killer broke into the
trunk of the stolen car and
hid the body in there.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
What did the man do then?
Melissa:
Well... Naturally, he got in
the car and was about to flee.
Melissa:
That's... That's when I
came to my senses.
Melissa:
I said to myself,
"You have to call the police!"
Edgeworth:
And so that's when you
called the police?
Mia:
You're sure that you saw
all that with your own eyes?
Melissa:
Yes. I'm 100% certain.
(4)
Melissa:
He couldn't just leave the
body on top of the bridge.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Why do you say that? It's
already a broken-down bridge
hidden away in the mountains.
Mia:
Doing anything more to hide
the corpse would be going
overboard, wouldn't it?
Melissa:
Yes, but that mountain is
famous among hikers.
Melissa:
A surprising number of
people go up there.
Mia:
But it's February, right?
And it was raining that day,
correct?
Melissa:
There is also a small temple
and a channeling dojo there.
Melissa:
You know those monks...
They just love cold, isolated
places...
Edgeworth:
I think the witness is trying
to say that the corpse could
have been found at any time...
Edgeworth:
Besides, the witness is
merely reporting what she
witnessed with her own eyes.
Melissa:
...
(5)
Melissa:
Oh, I'm sorry... I'm only
supposed to talk about what
I saw.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
And you're absolutely certain
that it was my client who was
carrying the body?
Melissa:
...
Melissa:
Well, he was wearing a
prisoner's uniform, but...
as for his face...
Judge:
So you're saying you didn't
get a clear look at his face?
Melissa:
Well, they were far away and
it was raining as well.
Melissa:
I-I thought I was only
supposed to say exactly
what I saw...
Judge:
Excellent!
You're a remarkably honest
young woman!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(Something about this
testimony is bothering
me, but what...?)
Armando:
Hey, Kitten...
Have you ever put salt
in your coffee?
Mia:
No... Why would I!?
Armando:
Why not?
Mia:
Huh...?
Armando:
It may actually go better
with coffee than sugar, right?
Mia:
...
Armando:
Listen. My point is if you're
not sure, you might as well
add a ton of salt to it.
Armando:
It might... bring out the rust
in something. Like a piece
of evidence.
Mia:
(He's right, Mia...
Go present something.
You've got nothing to lose!)
Armando:
By the way, I wouldn't put
salt in my coffee. The two
don't go well, after all.
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Present Dusky Bridge Map* at (3)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
A killer not wanting his
victim to be found...
I can understand that.
Mia:
However! The idea of moving
the body for that purpose is
clearly odd.
Mia:
There was a much easier
way to make sure the body
wasn't found!
Edgeworth:
...
Judge:
W-Well? What is it!?
Mia:
Take another look at the
map of the area and you'll
see how.
Mia:
There's a river right below
the bridge.
Mia:
Earlier Mr. Edgeworth pointed
out something interesting
about the river.
--------------------------------------------
Edgeworth:
For those who are not aware,
Eagle River is well-known for
its powerful current.
Edgeworth:
Most bodies that fall in
are never recovered...
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Ahh...
Mia:
In the kidnapping case 5 years
ago, the victim's body was
carried away and never found.
Melissa:
...!
Mia:
If 10 murders were to occur
at that same spot above the
Eagle River...
Mia:
...you can bet your boots that
every other killer would have
tossed the body in the water!
Judge:
Order! Order! Order!
Judge:
I'm not sure if I care
for the way you put that,
Ms. Fey!
Judge:
But I must admit it does seem
odd not to have thrown the
body into the river!
Melissa:
Ooooh...!
Judge:
Well, Mr. Edgeworth?
Edgeworth:
*sigh*
How sad.
Edgeworth:
Perhaps Ms. Fey would do
well to try taking a dip in
the river herself.
Edgeworth:
After all, you claim to be
such an expert in the ways
of nature...
Mia:
What are you talking about?
Edgeworth:
My point is that no matter how
odd you may find the killer's
method of body-disposal...
Edgeworth:
...the fact is that this is
what the killer did.
Edgeworth:
None of your arguments have
anything to do with what the
witness saw.
Judge:
Hmm...
Quite true...
Judge:
Ms. Fey, it seems that your
assertion is without merit
after all.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
But what the witness claims
to have seen is totally
ridiculous...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Surely you can't deny that
the body was found in the
trunk of the car.
Judge:
That's certainly consistent
with what the witness has
told us.
Mia:
Ugh...
Edgeworth:
Please, witness, go on
with your testimony.
Melissa:
I-I'll try...
Edgeworth:
All you have to do is
tell us only what you saw.
Edgeworth:
Otherwise the mean lady
might yell at you again.
Mia:
(Who is he talking about!?)
Melissa:
Alright!
I-I'll do my best!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Present Dusky Bridge Map or Witness's Photo* at (3b)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Well, Ms. Foster...
It looks like you've done it
this time.
Melissa:
...?
D-Done what?
Mia:
Made a crucial mistake.
Judge:
A c-crucial mistake?
Like what, Ms. Fey!?
Mia:
"The killer broke into the
trunk of the stolen car and
hid the body in there."
Mia:
You're saying you saw
that, right? With your
very own eyes?
Melissa:
Y-Yes... And...?
Mia:
It's simple, Ms. Foster.
Take a look at the diagram.
Mia:
The place you claim to have
taken the photo from that
day is here.
Mia:
Do you see what I mean?
Even if you tried to see
the car...
Mia:
...this outcropping of rock is
directly in the way.
Melissa:
Ah...!
Mia:
That's right, Ms. Foster.
Mia:
From where you were standing,
you could not have possibly
seen the killer's car.
Melissa:
Aaaaah...!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
I admit that the diagram shows
a large outcropping of rock.
Edgeworth:
However...
It isn't so tall that it would
stop her from seeing the car!
Melissa:
Th-That's right!
Melissa:
It-It's not high at all...
Melissa:
I-I was able to see his car
just fine!
Mia:
I'm so sorry...
But that just doesn't wash.
Melissa:
...!
Mia:
I believe it was the witness
who presented this as evidence
to the court, yes?
Mia:
This is the location that the
photo was taken from.
Mia:
Your own photo tells the
whole story!
Mia:
You can clearly see the
left side of the bridge...
Mia:
But the outcropping that is
being referred to is really
more like a cliff.
Judge:
Ah!
Mia:
Your view should have been
completely cut off by this
cliff!
Mia:
But still you claim to have
been able to see the killer's
car!
Melissa:
...
Melissa:
Noooooo!
Judge:
Or-Order! Order in the court!
What is the meaning of all
this ballyhoo...!?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Your Honor...
Don't jump to any hasty
conclusions.
Edgeworth:
The fact that the escapee fled
in a stolen car was reported
on the news.
Edgeworth:
After witnessing a murder, I'm
sure you can appreciate that
the witness was very upset.
Edgeworth:
She must have heard about the
stolen car and convinced
herself that she saw it.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
But she was repeatedly
warned before starting her
testimony!
Mia:
She was told to testify only
about what she saw with her
own eyes!
Judge:
Hmmmmm... Oh!
Melissa:
Err... Mr. Judge?
Judge:
Wh-What is it?
Melissa:
I think... I think I must have
remembered things wrong...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Hey! Wait a minute!
You can't just say that...!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Ms. Fey, no one on the face
of the planet is perfect.
Judge:
Hmmmm... Yes, indeed...
Quite true!
You know what they say...
Judge:
"To err is human,
to forgive, divine."
Judge:
I'm inclined to give the
benefit of the doubt to
our witness here.
Mia:
What...!?
Th-That's not fair...!
Armando:
Ha...!
Save the tears for
later, Kitten!
Mia:
M-Mr. Armando!
Armando:
Don't look back until the
trial is over. Now is the time
to go forward.
Mia:
B-But...!
But that wasn't fair!
Armando:
OK, Kitten, you need to
relax. Then you need to
remember...
Armando:
The other kitten's
testimony!
Melissa:
The killer broke into the
trunk of the stolen car and
hid the body in there.
Armando:
So tell us...
How did you know that?
Armando:
How did you know that he
broke into the trunk?
Mia:
Aha...!
Armando:
Until you can explain how
you knew that...
Armando:
...you're going to have a lot
of very suspicious people on
this side of the courtroom.
Melissa:
...
Judge:
W-Well, witness?
Melissa:
Well, I'm certain that he
broke into the trunk.
Melissa:
Because... Because there were
marks left on the trunk lid.
Melissa:
I'm certain they were scratch
marks from when he broke
into it...!
Judge:
W-What...!?
L-Let me see that photo!
Judge:
It's true... These certainly
look like scratch marks
around the keyhole!
Judge:
HMMMM...!
Judge:
It's obvious that this trunk
has been broken open.
Judge:
Well, Ms. Fey?
Are you satisfied...?
Mia:
(The judge is on her side!
I can't make any mistakes
here!)
Mia:
(What she just said...
Is there a contradiction in
there somewhere...?)

x (Something about it still

When did you get a chance

Melissa:

I'm getting pretty tired of

Edgeworth:
Then perhaps it would be

herself.
Mia:

There's only one possible

Mia:
There's only one way that
the witness had the chance
to see those scratches.
Judge:
Y-Yes? What was it?
Mia:
Naturally...
Mia:
When she opened the trunk...
and stuffed the corpse in
herself!
Edgeworth:
...!
Mia:
The person who really hid
the body in the trunk of that
car was...
Mia:
Melissa Foster!
It was you that did it,
wasn't it!?
Melissa:
Th-That's ridiculous!
I could never...!
Melissa:
It was the man in the
prison garb!
He-He's the one that...
Mia:
I don't think so, Ms. Foster.
Mia:
If Mr. Fawles had been the
one that put the corpse in
the trunk...
Mia:
...he would have simply used
the car key. There was no need
to break it open.
Melissa:
B-But...!
He stole the car...!
Mia:
He stole it from a young
couple that had been waiting
at a red light.
Mia:
Which means that the key
would have still been in the
ignition.
Melissa:
Oh...! I-I... I see...
Mia:
Thank you for telling us about
the scratches, Ms. Foster.
Mia:
Without that, we never would
have uncovered the truth.
Mia:
It couldn't have been
Mr. Fawles that put the body
in the trunk!
Melissa:
Nooooo!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
P-Preposterous!
To even suggest that the
witness put the body in there!
Edgeworth:
If that were true... then how
do you explain the photo
that she took?
Edgeworth:
The corpse could only have
been put in the trunk when
the incident occurred.
Edgeworth:
And we already know that
at the time, she was taking
photographs!
Mia:
(Now is your chance, Mia!
Finish this thing!)
Mia:
On the contrary, I'm not so
certain about that anymore,
Mr. Edgeworth.
Edgeworth:
...!
Mia:
There's no need to think
too deeply about it.
Mia:
What I'm saying is the shutter
for this may not have been
pushed by Ms. Foster herself!

Exactly.
She was NOT in the field.

please explain further.

This is a crucial point.

Mia:
Your Honor, if I may...
Mia:
After parting with the
"victim" on the bridge, the
defendant fled by car.
Mia:
But this would mean
that there was no time to
put the victim in the trunk.
Mia:
In other words, if someone
put the body in the trunk...
Mia:

before the defendant met
the "victim"!
Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:
How asinine!
Of course Mr. Fawles
met with the victim!
Edgeworth:
The only person with the
opportunity to have put the
victim in the trunk...
Edgeworth:
...is the same man that killed
her, Terry Fawles!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
You still don't understand,
do you, Mr. Edgeworth?
Mia:
By the time the witness's
photo was taken, the victim
was already dead...
Mia:
The person in the photo was
NOT Valerie Hawthorne!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
What!? I've never heard
anything more ridiculous
in my entire life!
Edgeworth:
Then who exactly is the
"victim" in this photo!?
Mia:
It's obvious, isn't it?
It's your own witness.
Melissa:
...!
Judge:
Wh-Wh-Whaaaat...!?
Mia:
It's the only possible
explanation.
Mia:
The woman that Mr. Fawles
met on the bridge that day was
not Valerie Hawthorne!
Mia:
It was you!
Melissa Foster!
Melissa:
M-M-Me...!?
Mia:
Let's remember that it was
raining and foggy on the
mountain that day.
Mia:
Mr. Fawles himself believed
that the woman in front of
him was Valerie Hawthorne!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
But the defendant knew
Valerie Hawthorne very well!
Edgeworth:
After all, she was the woman
whose testimony helped get
him convicted!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia
But since then, my client has
spent five hard years in a
federal penitentiary!
Mia:
He couldn't remember exactly
what she looked like anymore!
Edgeworth:
You are just making this
up as you go along!
Where's your proof!?
Mia:
(I've got it all right here!
This piece of evidence will
blow this case wide open...!)
Mia:
At the time of the incident,
Mr. Fawles had forgotten what
Valerie Hawthorne looked like!
xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Mia:
x *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Armando:
x Wait a minute, Kitten.
x
x Mia:
x M-Mr. Armando...
x
x Armando:
x First of all, relax.
x Second of all, think the
x whole thing over again!
x
x Mia:
x (H-He's right, Mia!
x You need to calm
x down and think it over!)
x
x RETURN TO QUESTION
x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
*Present Victim's Note or Scarf*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
Mr. Fawles had forgotten
the victim's face.
Mia:
That's why he needed some
piece of identification.
Namely, this muddy scarf!
Melissa:
Ah...!
Mia:
It was Mr. Fawles who
requested that she wear this
scarf to identify herself.
Mia:
That's already been proven
by the note the victim left!
Edgeworth:
...
Mia:
In other words, as long as
you were wearing a scarf
like he asked...
Mia:
...anyone could have pretended
to be Valerie Hawthorne!
Melissa:
...
Mia:
Well? What do you have to
say to that, Melissa Foster!?
Melissa:
Nnng...Gggh...Unnn...!
Melissa:
N-N-N-N-N-Nnnnoooooooo!!!
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Err... Ahh...
Where's Ms. Foster...?
Edgeworth:
She's collecting herself
in the Lobby.
Judge:
Hmmmmm...
Mia:
(It's obvious that
Melissa Foster did it.)
Mia:
(She hid the body in the
trunk and disguised herself
as the victim...)
Mia:
(She set up the camera to
snap a fake photo of them
together...)
Armando:
The only question is...
why did she do it...?
Mia
Well, isn't that obvious?
Mia:
She's the true criminal!
Armando:
Ha...!
Judge:
Well, we'll have to wait for
Ms. Foster to compose
herself before we start again.
Judge:
Until then, this court is
in recess.
Judge:
The defense and the
prosecution are instructed
to wait in the lobby.
Mia:
Yes, Your Honor.
Edgeworth:
Understood.
Judge:
Very well!
This court is in recess!
To be continued.

February 16, 1:14 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 4
Mia:
Mr. Fawles, I...
Fawles:
UGGAAAA!
Mia:
Eeeeeek!
I'm sorry! I-I'm sorry!
Fawles:
I wanna say thanks.
You're real good!
You really hooked me up!
Mia:
Thanks! We're almost there!
Once I prove that she
committed the crime...
Armando:
...Yeah, but there's one more
big obstacle we've got to
get past.
Mia:
Ob-Obstacle...?
Armando:
Yeah. Motive.
Why would Melissa Foster
kill that policewoman anyway?
Mia:
(Motive, huh...)
Armando:
Anyway... We're still badly
in need of information.
Mia:
Information... Right...
Armando:
What we need the most
is info about this
Melissa Foster herself.
Armando:
All we know is that she's
a student studying
literature.
Armando:
And one more thing.
Mia:
...What is it?
Armando:
Well, the incident that
happened 5 years ago,
of course.
Armando:
The kidnapping-murder case
that Zebra Boy is on
death row for...
Fawles:
I din't do nuttin'!
I din't kill nobody!
I never lie!
Mia:
Mr. Fawles! In that case...
Tell us more about it.
Mia:
...About what happened
5 years ago.
Fawles:
...
Fawles:
OK.
I trust you.
Fawles:
That day. 5 years ago.
I dream of it. Every day.
Fawles:
This picture.
It reminds me everything.
Fawles:
Bridge looks same.
Just like then...
5 years ago...
Fawles:
Like it could fall apart...
Fall apart any minute...
Mia:
(So it's been broken like
that for at least 5 years...)
Armando:
Ha...! Sorry buddy, but you
sound like the one that could
fall apart at any minute.
Fawles:
It true. I did...
...I did kidnap her.
Fawles:
...Five years ago.
I kidnapped. My girlfriend.
Dahlia Hawthorne.
Mia:
Y-Your g-girlfriend?
Huh...?
Armando:
Hey, hold on there!
Did you say, "Hawthorne"!?
Mia:
(The victim's last name...!)
Fawles:
Dahlia Hawthorne...
Valerie's little sister.
Mia:
Wh-Wh-Whaaat!? Are you
serious!?
--------------------------------------------
The girl... Let her go!
Shut up!
C-Come closer...
And I kill her!
Sorry, but you're not going
to get the chance...
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(The detective back then
was Valerie Hawthorne!)
Mia:
At first I thought shooting
someone for a kidnapping was
crossing the line, but...
Mia:
If it was to protect her
little sister, I can
understand why she did it...
Fawles:
Wrong! No protect sister!
Valerie betray me! Betray us!
Mia:
What do you mean she
betrayed you!?
Fawles:
Everything. All lies.
All make-believe.
Kidnapping, too...
Mia:
A make-believe kidnapping?
Fawles:
Dahlia. My girlfriend.
My love. My Teen Angel.
Mia:
(Ugh. Did he actually say,
"My Teen Angel"? He's seen
one too many soap operas.)
Fawles:
I do anything she says.
Anything Dahlia says...
Mia:
("Anything Dahlia says"...?)
H-Hold on a minute!
Mia:
What you're saying is that
the kidnapping 5 years ago
was planned by...
Fawles:
Yeah. Me and Dahlia...
...And Valerie, too.
Mia:
(Valerie was in on it!?)
Fawles:
Dahlia's family rich. Jewelry
business. We get one jewel...
That's what we thought...
Fawles:
Me and Dahlia wrote kidnap
note. We send to her dad.
Fawles:
Asked for 2 million dollar
diamond. Tell him make
exchange on Dusky Bridge.
Fawles:
...We tell him Valerie make
transfer 'cause she new
detective.
Armando:
Having a police detective
in your pocket is a useful
thing alright.
Armando:
In the end, you were planning
on splitting the 2 million
three ways, huh...
Fawles:
Yeah, but!
That woman!
Fawles:
That woman!
Valerie!
She do it for real!
Fawles:
She shoot at me for real!
Me and Dahlia!
*BANG!*
Fawles:
I was shot in arm.
Dahlia... She jump in river.
Mia:
Jump...?
You don't mean she jumped
on purpose, do you?
Fawles:
I couldn't do it!
I could never push her...!
Fawles:
Anyway, I blacked out...
Wake up with police all over.
Armando:
...And that's when they
decided to give you the
death sentence.
Fawles:
I couldn't believe it.
That woman. She betrayed me.
--------------------------------------------
Valerie:
That man... Terry Fawles...
He killed her!
He threw her off the bridge!
Valerie:
He threw my beloved sister
into the roaring river
40 feet below!
--------------------------------------------
Fawles:
...These 5 years...
All I wonder is... Why!
...Why! ...Why! ...Why!
Fawles:
Why did she lie!?
That's all I want to know!
Armando:
So that's why you called her.
You wanted to hear the truth
from Valerie herself.
Fawles:
Yes... but I forget what she
look like. So I tell her
to wear scarf.
Fawles:
I don't want to hurt her!
...Just ask why!
Fawles:
Why! Why did you lie...?
Why did you betray me...?
Fawles:
I just want to hear answer
come from her mouth.
That's all!
Mia:
(So that's why...
That's why you made a crazy
escape like that...)
Armando:
Just one thing, Zebra Boy...
Armando:
My senses are tingling all
over. Tell me, Mr. Fawles...
Where is it?
Mia:
...Huh? Where's what?
Armando:
Come on now, Kitten...
The ransom.
The 2 million dollar diamond.
Armando:
Remember that now?
Did you give it back to Pops?
Did the police take it?
Fawles:
...I dunno.
Mia:
Huh? You don't know?
Fawles:
No really. I dunno.
It's gone. With Dahlia.
Mia:
...With Dahlia?
Fawles:
That day. On the bridge...
Fawles:
Dahlia put it. In backpack...
Fawles:
Now gone. With Dahlia.
Gone... Forever...
Fawles:
Into Eagle River...
Mia:
(It disappeared with
Dahlia, huh...?
Wait a minute...!)
Bailiff:
...You can come back in now!
We're about ready to go!
Mia:
Mr. Fawles!
Just one more question!
Mia:
When you said, "with Dahlia",
do you mean the diamond is
still missing...?
Mia:
Along with the body of
Dahlia Hawthorne?
Fawles:
...
Fawles:
Never found her...
My sweet Dahlia...
Mia:
(They never found her...!)
Fawles:
Swallowed by river... Gone...
Dahlia... My Teen Angel...
Armando:
Your "Teen Angel"...?
How old was she anyway?
Fawles:
Just 14...
Mia:
F-F-Fourteen!?
(I guess you were robbing
cradles before diamonds...)
Armando:
She plans a fake kidnapping
and disappears into the river
with a rock worth 2 mil...
Armando:
Man oh man...
Angels these days.
Mia:
(Fawles takes the fall...
And gets a one-way ticket
to Death Row...)
Mia:
(Is Dahlia Hawthorne an
angel or is she really a...)
Armando:
...It's time, Kitten.
It looks like we have a few
more aces up our sleeve now.
Mia:
...You bet!
*Diamond added to the
Court Record.*
Armando:
The training wheels come off
now, Mia! You've got to
strike while the iron is hot!
Armando:
That's one of my rules.
Remember it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 16, 1:49 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
Judge:
Now then, let's continue with
the trial of Mr. Terry Fawles.
Judge:
...Witness.
Are you feeling better?
Melissa:
Y-Yes, Your Honor...
I-I'll try my best.
Judge:
Hmm...
You're a brave young lady.
Mia:
(Not this again...)
Edgeworth:
I can understand a defense
lawyer wanting to get her
client off the hook...
Edgeworth:
However!
To try to pin the crime on
an innocent student is...
Mia:
What are you talking about!?
Edgeworth:
My witness is not the person
on trial here.
Edgeworth:
She's an innocent bystander
who witnessed a violent crime.
...That's all.
Edgeworth:
What possible reason would
a girl like this have for
murdering a policewoman!
Judge:
Hmm...
It's certainly hard to imagine
this woman as a murderer...
Mia:
(Her motive, huh...
I figured that's what I had
to establish next...)
Judge:
Well, Ms. Fey?
Do you have any evidence
of a motive?
Mia:
...
Err, yes! Of course!
...I think.
Armando:
Hah...!
You're still acting as tame as
a kitten... Kitten.
Mia:
Mr. Armando...
Armando:
Listen...
A lawyer is someone who smiles
no matter how bad it gets.
Mia:
...!
Armando:
Smiling on the outside while
your guts are twisted in knots
is the mark of a pro.
Mia:
...Maybe so, but I wish you
would quit grinning at me
like that.
Melissa:
Umm... Excuse me...
May I speak, Mr. Judge?
Judge:
Of course!
Mr. Judge is ready
anytime you like!
Melissa:
I'd like... I'd like to
say something.
Melissa:
Some people here are
suspicious of me, right?
Th-That's why...
Melissa:
I... I at least wanted you,
Mr. Judge, to know that it's
not true...
Judge:
Hmmmmm!
I see! You're such an honest
and upstanding young lady.
Armando:
It looks like this witness
is a real professional.
Mia:
Wh-What do you mean!?
Armando:
Look at that 100-watt smile.
Armando:
...Just when things are
darkest for her... CLICK.
She lights right up!
Judge:
Very well then! Let's hear
what the witness has to say!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Melissa Foster's History --
(1)
Melissa:
I... I was out of the country
until the year before last.
(2)
Melissa:
Until I entered college, I
had never even been to
Eagle Mountain before...
(3)
Melissa:
And I certainly don't have any
reason for wanting to hurt a
police officer.
(4)
Melissa:
Holding a grudge and killing
the officer who testified
against you 5 years ago...
(5)
Melissa:
Or kidnapping a poor girl...
I just think the defendant is
a terrible, horrible monster!
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmm...
Out of the country, eh...
Edgeworth:
Precisely.
Edgeworth:
Furthermore, she has
no possible motive for
committing murder.
Judge:
Hmm, indeed...
Armando:
You're up to bat, Kitten.
Sharpen those claws and
put on your best smile.
Mia:
Y-You bet!
Mia:
(Somehow, I have to tie her
to this case...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Melissa Foster's History --
(1)
Melissa:
I... I was out of the country
until the year before last.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So, what country were
you living in then?
Melissa:
We were all living abroad,
but after my parents were
killed...
Edgeworth:
It was a brutal civil war.
She had to try to make her way
back home alone...
Melissa:
I lost everything...
I didn't even have any
personal identification...
Mia:
(What kind of sob story
is this...?)
Mia:
(...What do I do? Should
I press her for details?)
*** Wait and see ***************************
*
* Mia:
* (There's nothing I can do
* about her claim to have
* lost all her identification.)
*
* Mia:
* (All I can do is wait to
* find some other evidence
* about her real identity.)
*
* Judge:
* Very well then, Ms. Foster.
* Please proceed.
*
********************************************
*** Press her harder ***********************
*
* Mia:
* ...Witness.
* Answer my question.
*
* Mia:
* I'll even repeat it for you.
* What country were you in?
*
* Edgeworth:
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* Edgeworth:
* Your Honor, this line of
* questioning is childish.
*
* Edgeworth:
* What country she was in and
* how many languages she may
* speak are irrelevant here.
*
* Edgeworth:
* What we're here to evaluate is
* whether this witness has any
* connection to this case.
*
* Melissa:
* I've lived abroad ever since
* I was a little girl...
*
* Melissa:
* That's why I could never
* have known Mr. Fawles or
* Detective Hawthorne.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Yes... I think we've
* established that point.
*
* Judge:
* Yes, indeed.
*
* Judge:
* Well then. Shall we add
* what you've just stated to
* the official testimony?
*
* Melissa:
* Yes, please.
* ...Mr. Judge.
*
* ADD STATEMENT (1b)
*
********************************************
(1b)
Melissa:
Naturally, I didn't know
either the victim or
the defendant.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You didn't know either person?
Are you certain of that?
Melissa:
Yes. I'm afraid I'm rather
shy around people.
Judge:
Hmm...
Oh well, that can't be helped.
Mia:
(Why is he just agreeing with
everything that comes out of
her mouth...?)
Judge:
The first time you saw either
of them was when they
were on the bridge, correct?
Melissa:
Yes... It really was
a coincidence.
(2)
Melissa:
Until I entered college, I
had never even been to
Eagle Mountain before...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
So what made you decide to
go to Eagle Mountain anyway?
Melissa:
I just love being outdoors...
Picnics, hiking... You know,
that sort of thing.
Mia:
(...You don't look like much
of a hiker to me. But you do
look like a digger of sorts.)
Mia:
But Eagle Mountain is a
two-hour drive from here and
no trains run through there.
Mia:
There are plenty of mountains
that are closer and easier to
get to.
Melissa:
Well, I went there once with
the college Hiking Club.
Melissa:
I fell in love with its stark,
desolate beauty and its cold,
yet romantic, gloominess...
Mia:
(Didn't know you were such
a goth...)
Mia:
By the way, what's the name
of your college...?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
The prosecution objects to
any questions that involve
the witness's private life.
Mia:
...!
Edgeworth:
All that matters is that
she is a material witness
to a crime.
Edgeworth:
The witness doesn't need to
respond to questions that are
clearly malicious in intent.
Melissa:
Thank you!
She's really gone too far...!
Judge:
Hmmmmm!
Ms. Fey! You're treading on
thin ice here!
Mia:
(I hardly said anything!
Talk about sensitive...)
(3)
Melissa:
And I certainly don't have any
reason for wanting to hurt a
police officer.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Perhaps, but your behavior
that day was very suspicious!
Mia:
Not only have you contradicted
yourself here in court, but
you know things you shouldn't.
Mia:
For example, the scratches
on the trunk of the car.
Melissa:
Well th-that's...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Unfortunately Ms. Fey,
your last statement proves
nothing.
Mia:
Oh really!? And why is that?
Edgeworth:
The witness came to the
police station once to
identify the suspect.
Edgeworth:
It's entirely possible that,
at that time, an officer
showed her this photo.
Judge:
Hmm...
That seems like a
rather serious mistake.
Armando:
Ha...!
That's the oldest trick
in the prosecutor's book.
Mia:
Th-That's not fair...!
Melissa:
That wicked inmate...
I'll never be able to
forget that horrible day...
(4)
Melissa:
Holding a grudge and killing
the officer who testified
against you 5 years ago...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
A grudge...?
Melissa:
Well, the policewoman's
testimony was crucial,
wasn't it?
Melissa:
...Crucial in getting the
defendant sentenced to death.
Edgeworth:
Yes, and that's precisely
why he harbored such deep
anger against her.
Edgeworth:
So much anger that he
forgot his own guilt...
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
My client has always
maintained that he's innocent
of those charges!
Melissa:
He seems rather forgetful.
...Your client, I mean.
Mia:
...!
Melissa:
Not only did he forget about
what he did, but he forgot the
poor policewoman as well.
Mia:
What do you mean by that?
Melissa:
Your client...
He forgot what the
detective looked like, right?
Melissa:
It's too bad for her that he
didn't forget about her
testimony as well.
Mia:
(Well, she's right about that.
Mr. Fawles is kind of
forgetful...)
*** Wait and see ***************************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
*** Press harder ***************************
*
* Mia:
* You said, "he forgot what
* the detective looked like."
* What did you mean by that?
*
* Melissa:
* Well he couldn't tell who
* she was without some kind of
* identification, right?
*
* Edgeworth:
* Quite right... That's why the
* victim was wearing a scarf
* as identification.
*
* Melissa:
* Why, if I had been wearing a
* white scarf that day...
*
* Melissa:
* ...then he probably would
* have tried to kill me...
*
* Judge:
* Hmm...
* That's true.
* He's clearly a bitter man!
*
* Mia:
* (This is bad. Mr. Fawles's
* reputation just keeps getting
* worse and worse.)
*
* Mia:
* (Sometimes it's best not to
* poke too deep... What should I
* do with that last statement?)
*
* *** Have it added to the testimony *********
* *
* * Mia:
* * Your Honor! What the witness
* * said just now was tremendously
* * important!
* *
* * Mia:
* * I'd like it added to the
* * official testimony!
* *
* * Edgeworth:
* * The prosecution has no
* * objection...
* *
* * Edgeworth:
* * After all, the defendant is
* * a killer and a mentally
* * unbalanced one at that...
* *
* * Edgeworth:
* * That testimony only helps to
* * further prove that point...
* *
* * Judge:
* * Hmm...!
* *
* * Mia:
* * N-No, that's not why I...
* *
* * Judge:
* * Enough.
* * ...Witness, if you would?

Mia:
(Any more damage to my
client's image could be a
disaster...)
Mia:
(The judge already has a
bad enough opinion of him...)
Judge:
You just can't trust someone
with a bad memory.
Judge:
What did you eat for dinner
one week ago today?
Judge:
...At the very least, a person
should remember that much.
Judge:
As for me, it was payday, so
I had a nice moose steak with
some poutine on the side.
Mia:
(...And how does this relate
to anything!?)
Edgeworth:
Whether it's eating steak
or committing murder, a person
shouldn't deny their actions.
Edgeworth:
I'm in complete agreement,
Your Honor.
(4b)
Melissa:
I guess I'm lucky I wasn't
wearing a white scarf.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
What do you mean by lucky?
Melissa:
Well... It's February now.
Everyone is wearing scarves.
Melissa:
If I had accidentally worn
a white scarf like he said...
Edgeworth:
Then you yourself might
have been killed.
Judge:
Hmmmmm... That would've
been a terrible loss for
this world!
Armando:
Ha...!
It looks like you pressed
too hard this time, Kitten.
Mia:
Mr. Armando...
Armando:
Keep looking around you and
you're going to lose sight of
the finish line.
Armando:
Justice is blind, but she's
not deaf. Sometimes you have
to know when not to talk.
(5)
Melissa:
Or kidnapping a poor girl...
I just think the defendant is
a terrible, horrible monster!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You knew about that incident?
Mia:
But weren't you out of
the country until the
year before last?
Melissa:
Well, I saw a report about
the escaped convict on the
news.
Melissa:
They had an in-depth report
about his whole history.
Judge:
So you were still living
abroad 5 years ago, is
that right?
Melissa:
Yes...
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(I can't let her get away
with these lies...!)
Armando:
Listen to me. She's neck-deep
in this whole thing...
Armando:
Somehow, you're just going to
have to get her to show the
court her true self.

* Mia:
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* Mia:
* Witness... I want you to

*
* Mia:
* It's hard to see in the photo,

* Ah, you are talking about

*

* Mia:

*Present Dahlia Hawthorne profile*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
And that person is...
Dahlia Hawthorne!
Judge:
Dahlia Hawthorne...?
I've never heard that name
before.
Mia:
Look at the victim's note.
This is what it says...
Mia:
"Talk to Dahlia. Tell her this
time..." There is her name,
right there.
Judge:
Wh-What's this...
So who is this person!?
This... Dahlia Hawthorne...
Edgeworth:
*sigh*...
Edgeworth:
Ms. Fey must be desperate
if she's trying to bring the
dead back to life.
Judge:
The d-dead...?
Edgeworth:
Dahlia Hawthorne was
the victim's deceased
younger sister.
Edgeworth:
She was killed in a crime
5 years ago.
Judge:
Killed in a crime...?
Y-You don't mean...!?
Edgeworth:
Yes. She was kidnapped...
And killed. By Terry Fawles!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
You said she was "killed"...
But was she really?
Edgeworth:
What are you implying...?
Mia:
Of course, people thought
she had died 5 years ago...
Mia:
...when she fell off of
Dusky Bridge and was lost
in the Eagle River.
Mia:
However!
Her corpse was never found!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
She was declared legally
dead 5 years ago!
Edgeworth:
As far as the law is
concerned, Dahlia Hawthorne
is officially dead.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
But the fact remains that her
body was never recovered!
Mia:
Dahlia Hawthorne was
14 years old, 5 years ago.
Mia:
If she were still alive,
she would be 19 now.
Mia:
...Melissa Foster.
Mia:
I believe that's the same
age you are!
Melissa:
Ah...!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Even you couldn't...!
Ms. Fey...!
You're not saying...!
Mia:
But I am.
That's precisely what
I'm saying.
Mia:
This "witness" before us is
the girl that was kidnapped
and killed 5 years ago!
Mia:
This girl is in fact
Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne!
Judge:
WHA...!
WHAAAAAAT!
Armando:
Ha...! Nice work...
That was like tossing a
grenade into a 3-alarm fire!
Armando:
But unless you can tie all
the loose ends together...
Armando:
...you're nothing but a
hit-and-run arsonist.
Mia:
I... I understand.
Mia:
(If I can expose her true
nature, I can turn this whole
case on its head!)
Mia:
(Now is my chance to make
Mr. Edgeworth squirm...!)
Judge:
Hmm... Hmm... Hmmm...
Judge:
Witness!
Just who are you anyway!?
Melissa:
I... I... I'm...
Edgeworth:
I didn't think it'd come
to this.
Edgeworth:
That's enough...
You don't have to say anymore,
witness.
Melissa:
...
Yes.
I understand.
Judge:
Wh-What!
Mr. Edgeworth!
Explain yourself!
Edgeworth:
Your Honor.
I have an admission to make.
Edgeworth:
I honestly never thought the
defense would pursue the
matter this far...
Judge:
You don't...!
You don't mean...!
Edgeworth:
...Yes. The prosecutor's
office isn't filled with
fools, you know.
Edgeworth:
Naturally, we conduct full
background checks on all
of our witnesses.
Mia:
Wh-What did he say...?
Armando:
Ha...!
It looks like the kid knew.
Armando:
He knew her true identity
from the get-go.
Mia:
No way...!
But then why...!
Armando:
If you hadn't revealed her
secret, he wasn't going to
say anything about it.
Armando:
All he wanted was her
testimony, so he made
a little trade.
Edgeworth:
Let me introduce you to...
Edgeworth:
...the victim's younger
sister, Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne.
Judge:
But... But...
I thought she died 5 years
ago...?
Edgeworth:
We thought so as well...
But... Well, as you can see...
Mia:
Why!? Why did she hide
her identity for 5 years!?
Edgeworth:
That has nothing to
do with the current case.
Edgeworth:
She was merely an accidental
witness to a crime...
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Accidental...?
I don't believe that for
a minute!
Mia:
For the last 5 years, she's
been playing the role of
victim!
Mia:
And now we find her acting
suspiciously at another murder
scene!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
...Really, Ms. Fey!
Your strategy is
clearly obvious.
Edgeworth:
You're trying to pin your
client's crime on an innocent
witness in order to win...
Edgeworth:
...At any cost.
Mia:
H-How dare you!
Edgeworth:
Please, let us take a moment
to think.
Edgeworth:
Five years ago, this girl was
kidnapped and nearly killed.
Judge:
Hmm...
Edgeworth:
But even worse than that...
5 years later...
Edgeworth:
...Dahlia Hawthorne lost
something much more
precious. Her big sister.
Edgeworth:
Ms. Fey must be insane to
even suggest that she
murdered her.
Mia:
Whaaaaat!?
Judge:
...I'm inclined to agree
with the prosecutor's logic.
Judge:
Ms. Fey!
Do you have any evidence
to back up your assertion!?
Judge:
What possible reason would
this witness have for killing
her beloved sister!?
Mia:
W-Well you see...
Mia:
(I thought I was winning,
but somehow he's turned it
around on me!)
Armando:
Ha...!
Armando:
I think you need a little
push in the right
direction, Kitten...
The defense is prepared
to present evidence
supporting our claim!
Mia:
Ah! That wasn't me!
It was this guy...
This crazy coffee addict...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
I think we've heard enough
empty threats from you,
old man.
Armando:
Ha...!
What makes you think
they're empty, boy?
Edgeworth:
Because your protégé looks
like she's sweating bullets!
Mia:
Ah...!
(I AM sweating bullets!)
Armando:
...You think you're in a
tough spot, huh?
Mia:
Of course! Aren't I?
Armando:
...No. You've just arrived
at the moment of truth,
that's all.
Armando:
Whether you win or lose...
That's up to you.
Mia:
(Up to me...?)
Edgeworth:
*sigh*...
The rashness of youth.
How charming.
Mia:
(This coming from someone
younger than me!)
Judge:
Now then, let's not waste
any more time.
...Ms. Fey.
Judge:
What motive would this witness
have for murdering her own
sister, Valerie Hawthorne?

*Present Victim's Note*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
...The story starts after
Terry Fawles escaped.
Mia:
He called Valerie and
told her he wanted to meet.
This is the note she left...
Mia:
It says, "Talk to Dahlia.
Tell her this time, the
whole truth must come out."
Mia:
...Valerie Hawthorne gave
Dahlia a warning.
Mia:
She told her she was going
to reveal to the world the
whole truth.
Judge:
The whole truth...?
Mia:
There was a dangerously
important secret between
Valerie and Dahlia.
Mia:
That's the reason Dahlia felt
she had to kill Valerie...
Mia:
To keep her mouth shut
permanently!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
A terrific story, Ms. Fey!
If you like fiction, that is.
Edgeworth:
Enlighten the court, Ms. Fey.
What was this secret that
was so important?
Edgeworth:
Where's your evidence!?
Armando:
Dahlia and Valerie Hawthorne,
and Terry Fawles...
Armando:
There's only one
important secret that
connects them all...
Mia:
Oh, yes... I know this secret.
Mia:
...Your Honor!
The defense would like to
request further testimony.
Judge:
Wh-What testimony?
Mia:
Regarding the kidnapping
5 years ago. We believe it
will explain a lot of things.
Mia:
Such as the nature of the
important secret between
the Hawthorne sisters!
Dahlia:
Ugh...!
Judge:
...Very well.
I'll grant your request for
further testimony.
Judge:
I know it will be painful for
you, but can enlighten us once
more, my little maple leaf?
Dahlia:
Y-Yes, I-I'll try.
Mr. Judge...
Mia:
(Putting on the old charm
one more time, Dahlia?)
Mia:
(But this will be the last
time you hide behind your
womanly wiles!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- 5 Years Ago --
(1)
Dahlia:
Five years ago, I was
kidnapped by Mr. Fawles.
(2)
Dahlia:
The ransom price was a raw
diamond. My sister, Valerie,
brought it to the bridge...
(3)
Dahlia:
After she made the exchange,
she shot Mr. Fawles in
the arm!
(4)
Dahlia:
That's when Mr. Fawles tried
to kill me by shoving me off
the bridge from behind!
(5)
Dahlia:
I survived, but I was afraid I
might be kidnapped again
for my family's money...
(6)
Dahlia:
So I decided to change
my identity and start
a new life...
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Hmmm...
Edgeworth:
...The kidnapping left her
emotionally scarred.
Edgeworth:
With her sister's help, she
left the Hawthorne family and
started all over again.
Edgeworth:
And we're to believe after
all that, she murdered her
sister? Preposterous!
Judge:
Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.
...Ms. Fey?
Mia:
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
Judge:
As you've heard, the witness
is still traumatized from
the kidnapping.
Judge:
...I'll ask you again to be
extremely gentle in your
cross-examination.
Mia:
(...Mr. Edgeworth got the jump
on me again...)
Armando:
Ha...!
If we're not allowed to fight,
then let's twist some arms.
Armando:
...Listen up.
We've still got that info...
That ace up our sleeve.
Mia:
...What info?
Armando:
Come on, Kitten.
Don't say you've forgotten
already.
Armando:
The fact that the kidnapping
5 years ago was staged!
Mia:
(That's right, it was a fake
kidnapping! Terry Fawles
told us that in the lobby.)
--------------------------------------------
Fawles:
I do anything she says.
Anything Dahlia says...
Mia:
What you're saying is that
the kidnapping 5 years ago
was planned by...
Fawles:
Yeah. Me and Dahlia...
...And Valerie, too.
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
(Yes! That's it!
The fake kidnapping is your
best shot, Mia!)
Mia:
(That's her secret!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- 5 Years Ago --
(1)
Dahlia:
Five years ago, I was
kidnapped by Mr. Fawles.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Did you and Mr. Fawles
have a relationship?
Dahlia:
...Y-Yes.
As a tutor...
Mia:
You were tutoring him?
Mr. Fawles?
Dahlia:
N-No, of course not!
Don't be ridiculous!
Dahlia:
Mr. Fawles came to the house
to tutor ME!
Mia:
(That makes sense... 5 years
ago, she was only 14.)
Edgeworth:
He probably came up with
the kidnapping plan during
that time.
Edgeworth:
The Hawthornes are in the
jewelry trade and are quite
wealthy, you see.
Judge:
Hmm...
Quite the clever fellow, that
Mr. Fawles.
Mia:
(Did I hear him right!?
Did he just call Mr. Fawles
a clever fellow?)
(2)
Dahlia:
The ransom price was a raw
diamond. My sister, Valerie,
brought it to the bridge...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
I heard the diamond is valued
in the neighboorhood of
2 million dollars.
Judge:
2 million dollars!?
Dahlia:
It was still uncut, so
it was about the size of
a pint of milk.
Judge:
HMMMMM!!!
Judge:
A 2 million dollar pint
of milk... I don't know what
to think about that!
Edgeworth:
The defendant demanded
that her sister, Valerie,
make the exchange.
Edgeworth:
Not as a detective,
of course, but as an
individual.
Mia:
By the way, I want to ask
you, Mr. Edgeworth.
Mia:
Why do you think he wanted
to make the exchange up
there on that mountain?
Mia:
If he ever got surrounded,
it would be hard to escape...
Edgeworth:
There's one thing a kidnapper
wants to prevent, and that's
police involvement.
Edgeworth:
In a place like that, it
would be easy to tell if
he was being followed.
Edgeworth:
With only one entrance to
the mountain, he was
ensuring his safety.
Dahlia:
What a wickedly clever man
that Mr. Fawles is...
Mia:
(Yeah, right.
It was all YOUR plan...)
Dahlia:
Anyway, Valerie brought the
diamond to the mountain and...
(3)
Dahlia:
After she made the exchange,
she shot Mr. Fawles in
the arm!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
That was a dangerous thing
to do considering you were
being held hostage.
Dahlia:
Yes, but...
Actually, that saved my life.
Judge:
What do you mean?
Dahlia:
You see, Mr. Fawles was
holding a knife in his
right hand...
Dahlia:
Somehow, I just KNEW
he was going to use it.
Dahlia:
I knew he was going to
use that knife to kill me!
Mia:
...!
Dahlia:
That's why my sister shot him!
It was to save me!
(4)
Dahlia:
That's when Mr. Fawles tried
to kill me by shoving me off
the bridge from behind!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
I'd like to hear more about
what happened right at
that moment!
Dahlia:
Well, when Mr. Fawles was
shot in the right arm, he let
go of me...
Dahlia:
I-I was dazed. I turned to try
and run away, but Mr. Fawles
turned to grab me as well...
Dahlia:
As I ran past, he and I locked
eyes for a second, and he gave
me a large, bloodthirsty grin.
Judge:
B-Bloodthirsty grin...
Oooh...
Dahlia:
And in the next instant...
Edgeworth:
I advise the court to remember
that the river is 18 feet deep
and incredibly swift...
Dahlia:
I-I was a strong swimmer,
but I was knocked out...
Dahlia:
When I came to, I had been
carried away by the river
to a strange place.
Dahlia:
I'll never forget that day.
Dahlia:
The crumbling bridge,
nowhere to run...
Dahlia:
Then just one little shove
from behind. That was it.
Dahlia:
Before my sister could
catch me...
...I fell into the river.
(5)
Dahlia:
I survived, but I was afraid I
might be kidnapped again
for my family's money...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
And that's why you
hid your identity?
Dahlia:
Yes...
I only told my sister.
Judge:
Valerie Hawthorne, eh.
Dahlia:
Yes, she's the only one who
knew about me.
Edgeworth:
Meanwhile, legally, this
witness has been deceased
for 5 years.
Dahlia:
I... I didn't ever want
something like that to
happen to me again.
(6)
Dahlia:
So I decided to change
my identity and start
a new life...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
And that new identity was
"Melissa Foster", right?
Dahlia:
Yes, my sister helped me get
the official paperwork
taken care of.
Mia:
(That makes sense...)
Mia:
(Without an insider's help,
doing all of the paperwork
would've been impossible.)
Dahlia:
She was the only person left
in the world I could count on.
Dahlia:
And you... You think I
k-k-killed her...
There's no way I could!
Judge:
Hmmmmm...!
--------------------------------------------
Armando:
It's the moment of truth
for this witness, too.
Armando:
Once the truth about this
staged kidnapping comes out...
Armando:
Everyone in the court will
know how much of a Jezebel
she really is!
Mia:
(I've just got to prove that
kidnapping was a hoax!)

*Present Dusky Bridge Map* at (4)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
You say that Mr. Fawles pushed
you into the Eagle River...
Mia:
However, that's hard to
believe.
Dahlia:
B-But it's true!
I felt a push on my back...
Dahlia:
I'm certain of it!
It was Mr. Fawles!
Mia:
I'm sorry... I guess I wasn't
clear enough.
Mia:
I shouldn't have said, "that's
hard to believe." I should've
said, "That's impossible."
Dahlia:
I-Impossible...?
Mia:
I ask that the court recall
the condition of Dusky Bridge,
now and 5 years ago.
Mia:
That bridge hasn't changed one
bit in these last 5 years.
Mia:
If someone had pushed you
from behind as you have
claimed...
Mia:
...instead of being carried
away by the river...
Mia:
...you would have been
smashed by the bedrock
below!
Mia:
A most certain death.
Dahlia:
...
Mia:
Do you understand now,
Dahlia Hawthorne?
Mia:
The very notion that my client
pushed you from behind
is impossible!
Dahlia:
...
Dahlia:
Aaaaaah!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Your Honor, this event
occurred 5 years ago!
Edgeworth:
Why, for all we know, the
water level in the river may
have been higher back then.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
But it's 40 feet from the
bridge to the river!
Mia:
A small change in the water
level wouldn't have made a
difference!
Edgeworth:
Ugggh!
Judge:
Y-You're right! If the events
occurred just as the witness
has testified...
Judge:
...then the defendant couldn't
have pushed the witness
into the river.
Judge:
Young lady!
What is the meaning of this!?
Dahlia:
Uuuh!
Dahlia:
I... I... I, err...
You see, I...
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Just a moment, Your Honor!
Edgeworth:
It's true that the witness
testified that the defendant
pushed her into the river...
Edgeworth:
However! She never stated
that she fell from the back
end of the bridge!
Mia:
What... What do you mean?
Edgeworth:
After being shot in the
arm, it's plausible that
Mr. Fawles panicked!
Edgeworth:
Therefore, he could have
unwittingly pushed her off
the side of the bridge!
Judge:
If that's true, she would
have fallen into the river!
Judge:
Well, Miss Hawthorne!?
Is Mr. Edgeworth's explanation
correct...?
Dahlia:
...
Dahlia:
Now that you mention it...
Dahlia:
I do remember now.
When I fell off the bridge...
Dahlia:
...my skirt got caught on one
of the bridge's side wires!
Mia:
You can't be serious!
Judge:
Order! Order in the court!
Edgeworth:
It seems Ms. Fey's assault
has finally reached its
conclusion.
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
(Not now, Mia...!
This is no time to retreat!)
Mia:
Unfortunately for you...
this is just the start of
Ms. Fey's assault!
Edgeworth:
Wh-What?
Mia:
I believe your reasoning
went something like this,
Mr. Edgeworth.
Mia:
"After being shot in the
arm, it's plausible that
Mr. Fawles panicked!"
Mia:
"Therefore, he could have
unwittingly pushed her off
the side of the bridge!"
Mia:
However! Once again,
I'm forced to say,
"That's impossible!"
Edgeworth:
R-Ridiculous!
What's so impossible
about it!?
Mia:
Because your flawed logic
contradicts the Court
Record!

*Present Witness's Photo*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
Your Honor!
All of the answers are
right here in this photo!
Mia:
Take a look at the wires
supporting both sides of the
bridge!
Mia:
They extend up to about
five feet off the ground...
Mia:
It would be impossible to
push someone off from there!
Dahlia:
NNNNOOOOOOO!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
B-But let's remember
the size and strength of
the defendant!
Edgeworth:
Wires like this wouldn't be
a problem for him!
Edgeworth:
He could have easily picked
up a 14 year old girl and
thrown her over!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
So young, and already so
forgetful, Mr. Edgeworth.
Mia:
Mr. Fawles had been shot
in the right arm.
Judge:
Ah...!
Mia:
And more importantly...
Mia:
...Valerie Hawthorne had
her gun trained on him...
at point-blank range!
Edgeworth:
Ugh...!
Mia:
So! Mr. Fawles throwing the
witness off the bridge? That
is clearly impossible!
Edgeworth:
GWAAAAAAAHHH!
Judge:
Order! Order!
Wh-What is the meaning
of this!?
Mia:
Dahlia Hawthorne!
Mia:
You jumped into the Eagle
River intentionally!
Judge:
What...!?
What is this...!?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Indeed! What do you mean
by such a ridiculous remark!?
Dahlia:
Y-Yes! It's ridiculous!
Dahlia:
My sister was there
to help me!
Dahlia:
She had her gun and handcuffs.
She could have saved me...
Dahlia:
Jumping into a raging river
like that...
That would have been suicide!
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
Perhaps...
But still, that's exactly
what you did!
Mia:
You were probably confident
that you could handle
the swift current.
Mia:
But even more so...
Mia:
...the witness had a much
more compelling reason for
jumping into the river!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Oh? Then what was it!? What
was so important that she'd
want to jump into the river!?
Mia:
The witness is still alive.
This fact alone explains
everything!
Mia:
This is why she risked her
life by jumping into the
rapids of the Eagle River!

*Present Diamond*
Mia:
*TAKE THAT!*
Mia:
Five years ago...
Mia:
...something else disappeared
along with Dahlia that day.
Mia:
The item that Valerie brought
up the mountain with her...
The 2 million dollar diamond!
Dahlia:
...!
Edgeworth:
AAAAAHHH!!
N... No...
It-It can't be...!
Mia:
Yes. Dahlia had it all planned
from the beginning!
Mia:
The 2 million dollars...
She was going to keep it
all for herself!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
She forced Mr. Fawles to help
her fake the kidnapping...
*BANG!*
Mia:
At the last minute, she
betrayed him and threw
herself into the river...
Mia:
...with the ransom tucked away
safely in her backpack...
--------------------------------------------
Edgeworth:
Why that's... that's simply
ridiculous!
Judge:
Order! Order! Order!
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
Y-Your Honor!
Five years ago, the witness
was only 14 years old!
Edgeworth:
Do you really think a
14 year old is capable
of such a demonic plan!?
Mia:
This woman IS a demon.
Mia:
And there was one more person
who helped make a demon out
of her.
Mia:
Her sister...
Valerie Hawthorne.
Judge:
Y-You mean the victim was
involved in the kidnapping
plot as well!?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
But she was a detective then!
You're saying she participated
in her sister's kidnapping!?
Mia:
Precisely!
Mia:
I'm sure that it weighed
heavily on her conscience for
the past 5 years.
Mia:
This is the sole reason
behind the victim's murder.
Judge:
What do you mean by that?
Mia:
On the day of the murder...
Mia:
...after receiving the phone
call from Mr. Fawles, Valerie
called her sister, Dahlia.
Mia:
And then she told her what
she was planning to do.
Judge:
"Planning to do"...?
Edgeworth:
She was going to tell the
whole truth... As she wrote
in her note!
Mia:
THAT is what sealed Valerie
Hawthorne's fate...
Mia:
THAT is when you hatched your
demonic plan to kill two birds
with one stone.
Mia:
A plan that would ensure
neither of your accomplices
to the kidnapping would talk.
Mia:
And THAT is why...
Mia:
...you killed your sister,
Valerie Hawthorne!
...
Hee hee...
Judge:
Wh-Who is that!?
Laughing at a time like this!
Dahlia:
Forgive me.
It's just hilarious...
Judge:
W-Witness?
Is that you?
Dahlia:
You amuse me, woman!
MS. MIA FEY...
Mia:
...!
Dahlia:
You can certainly weave an
exciting tale...
Dahlia:
Naturally...
you have the evidence
to back it up, don't you?
Mia:
Ev-Evidence...?
Dahlia:
Evidence that I planned the
kidnapping, of course...
Dahlia:
That at 14, I plotted it with
Mr. Fawles and my sister.
Mia:
W-Well, I...
Dahlia:
And one more thing.
Dahlia:
What happened to the
2 million dollar diamond?
Dahlia:
If you can't provide evidence
to at least show that...
Judge:
Hmmmmm...
Well, Ms. Fey?
Mia:
I...
I don't know...
Dahlia:
What a joke.
YOU, MS. FEY...
Are you stupid or something?
Mia:
Nnrgh...!
Mia:
(How can I prove a fake
kidnapping that happened
5 years ago!?)
Mia:
(I don't even have decisive
proof of Valerie Hawthorne's
murder...)
Judge:
Well it seems...
that we've come to the end.
Judge:
To be honest, the witness's
behavior does raise certain
suspicions...
Judge:
However, I am forced to reject
the assertions made by the
defense.
Dahlia:
Of course you are.
Mia:
(Is this it...?
Is it really over...?)
Mia:
(That girl has made a fool
of me and there's nothing
I can do about it!)
Armando:
Ha...!
Armando:
Without evidence the trial
is over? Who decided that?
Mia:
M-Mr. Armando!
Armando:
Come on now, Kitten. Haven't
you figured out that you
can make your own rules?
Armando:
For example, even if there's
no evidence, there's still
testimony!
Mia:
(T-Testimony...?)
Armando:
On the day in question,
Dahlia Hawthorne murdered
her sister, Valerie Hawthorne.
Armando:
She hid her body in the trunk
of Mr. Fawles's stolen car and
then went to meet with him...
Armando:
...disguised as her sister,
Valerie Hawthorne.
That's what you think, right?
Mia:
Y-Yes, that's right...
Armando:
In that case, there's only
one answer, right?
Armando:
There is only one person
left who can testify about
Valerie Hawthorne's murder!
Mia:
(Since there's no proof,
there's only one thing left
to do!)
Mia:
(Who is the one person who
can testify to that demon
woman's crimes...?)

Mia:
Your Honor!
The defense wishes to call
a new witness!
Judge:
A new witness?
Mia:
Yes! We would like to hear the
testimony of Terry Fawles!
Edgeworth:
The defendant...!?
Mia:
There's only one person that
can shed any further light
on the situation...
Mia:
Only one person that knows
what Dahlia's role in the
kidnapping was...
Mia:
Only one person that can say
whether the person in the
photo is Valerie Hawthorne...
Mia:
...or whether it was in fact
her younger sister Dahlia,
disguised as her.
Mia:
There's only one person who
can solve this riddle once
and for all...
Mia:
And that person is...
Terry Fawles!
Judge:
Well, Mr. Edgeworth?
What is your take on this?
Edgeworth:
...
Edgeworth:
Why not?
The prosecution has no
objection.
Judge:
Very well.
Judge:
Bailiff!
Bring the defendant to the
witness stand!
Mia:
(This is my last chance,
Mr. Fawles...)
Mia:
(My last chance to establish
Dahlia's guilt...)
Mia:
(You're all I have left!)
--------------------------------------------
Judge:
Defendant, you've heard
everything that's been said
up to this point, yes?
Fawles:
Uhh... Umm...
I don't believe it! No way!
Fawles:
Dahlia died! Five years ago!
Valerie betrayed me!
Mia:
Mr. Fawles...
Mia:
I don't know what she said
to you 5 years ago, but one
thing is clear.
Mia:
Dahlia is very much alive.
Mia:
And you were used.
For 2 million dollars.
Fawles:
That's... Not... True...
Judge:
Mr. Fawles.
There's only one question
I want the answer to.
Judge:
Two days ago on Dusky
Bridge... who did you meet?
Judge:
Was it Valerie Hawthorne?
Or was it Dahlia Hawthorne?
Fawles:
Dahlia... Dahlia...
Did you... betray me?
Fawles:
...
Fawles:
Five years ago she promised...
She promised... Never, ever
betray each other...
Dahlia:
Terry...
Fawles:
Dahlia!
Dawles:
It-It's true!
You are alive...!
Dahlia:
You don't trust me anymore?
That makes me sad.
Fawles:
Tell the truth!
The real truth!
I... I believed in you!
Dahlia:
...
I shouldn't NEED to say it.
You should already know...
Fawles:
...!
Dahlia:
But...
There is one thing
that I WILL say.
Dahlia:
My life is in your hands
right now, Terry.
Fawles:
Dah...lia...
Judge:
I will allow Mr. Fawles to
testify once and once only.
Judge:
Well then, Mr. Fawles.
Yours will be the final
testimony in this trial.
Fawles:
...
Judge:
Witness!
Fawles:
GAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
Judge:
Eeeeek!
I'm sorry!
I apologize!
Fawles:
Uwah! Uwah! UWAAAAH!!
W-Water!
P-Please! Water!
Mia:
Hmm?
Fawles:
Can't talk...
Need water...
Armando:
Ha...!
Oh well, I guess it'll have
to be my coffee instead.
Armando:
At least it'll match the way
he's probably feeling right
now...
Armando:
Darker and bitterer than
Hell itself.
Fawles:
UWAAAAAH...

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Who Terry Fawles Saw --
(1)
Fawles:
That day... 4 PM...
I stopped the car.
I was in front of bridge...
(2)
Fawles:
She wasn't there...
So, I waited on bridge.
(3)
Fawles:
I watched my car from
bridge. I never put no body
in that car!
(4)
Fawles:
Finally, one woman came.
She stood front of me.
(5)
Fawles:
We talked...
Then she left.
(6)
Fawles:
That was... That was Valerie.
Not my Dahlia!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
Mr. Fawles!
You're covering for her!
Mia:
Do you think she would
do the same for you...!?
Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
Edgeworth:
That's enough, Ms. Fey!
Edgeworth:
His last statement was a
fitting way to end the final
testimony of the trial...
Mia:
...!
Judge:
Well then, Ms. Fey...
Please proceed with your
cross-examination.
Mia:
(Is this how you want it to
end, Mr. Fawles?)
Mia:
(Another guilty verdict to go
along with your death
sentence!?)
Armando:
There's only one person who
can stop it... You, Kitten.
...I think.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Who Terry Fawles Saw --
(1)
Fawles:
That day... 4 PM...
I stopped the car.
I was in front of bridge...
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
According to the note, the
meeting was supposed to
take place at 4:30.
Mia:
You certainly arrived early,
didn't you?
Fawles:
It was raining...
Already dark, too...
Mia:
You waited on the bridge
for 30 minutes?
Fawles:
...
Mia:
Mr. Fawles...?
Fawles:
Eagle Mountain... That spot...
Strong, strong memories...
Mia:
...
(Why did he just clam up?)
Mia:
(Could it be...
he's hiding something here?)
(2)
Fawles:
She wasn't there...
So, I waited on bridge.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You were quite early, so you
waited on the bridge, correct?
Fawles:
Yeah... I like waiting.
I'm used to it.
Armando:
I'm sure he is. Zebra Boy
waited 5 years to ask a
single question...
Armando:
To find out why a woman
betrayed him.
Armando:
To him, 30 minutes must've
been like a blink of the eye.
(3)
Fawles:
I watched my car from
bridge. I never put no body
in that car!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
You were watching the car?
Fawles:
That bridge. Other side is
broken. Nobody can come
from there.
Fawles:
So... I was watching car.
Edgeworth:
*sigh*...
What else were you expecting
him to do...?
Mia:
(I suppose that's the obvious
thing to do, but...)
Mia:
(...something's bothering me.
I'm getting that feeling...
A contradiction?)
Judge:
I wonder what's on the other
side of the broken bridge
anyway?
Edgeworth:
No one lives there.
Edgeworth:
There's a small shrine up on
the mountain, but that's it...
Fawles:
Anyway...! Nobody came...
No car, nothing!
(4)
Fawles:
Finally, one woman came.
She stood front of me.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
Mr. Fawles.
Think carefully now.
Mia:
Are you certain that it was
Valerie Hawthorne?
Fawles:
Uh. Uh. Uh...
Fawles:
I never lie!
It-It's the truth!
Fawles:
It was... Valerie!
I remembered her face!
Mia:
Wait a minute. If you had
remembered her face...
Mia:
...then why did you make
her wear a scarf as
identification?
Fawles:
...
Uh.
Sorry. I told a little lie.
Mia:
......
Fawles:
But! The woman I met...
She was different from
woman standing here now!
Fawles:
She was different!
It was Valerie!
(5)
Fawles:
We talked...
Then she left.
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
What did you talk to her
about anyway?
Fawles:
...
Mia:
Mr. Fawles!
Fawles:
Valerie told the truth.
About the kidnapping
5 years ago.
Fawles:
She said, "Someone needed
to take the blame for it"...
Fawles:
"That was all I could
think to do."
She said that.
Fawles:
That's why she lied...
Got me the death penalty...
Edgeworth:
And were you satisfied with
that answer, witness?
Fawles:
Dahlia died...
It was my fault.
Fawles:
But I don't really remember...
Fawles:
Maybe I did...
Maybe I did push her in...
Mia:
...!
Fawles:
It don't matter no more...
Fawles:
Either way... My Dahlia...
My sweet Teen Angel... Dead.
Mia:
(But you just saw that
she isn't dead!)
Fawles:
After Valerie talk to me on
bridge...
Nothing left to live for...
(6)
Fawles:
That was... That was Valerie.
Not my Dahlia!
Mia:
*HOLD IT!*
Mia:
How can you be so sure!?
Mia:
It was raining at the time,
and sunset that day was
at 5 o'clock.
Mia:
It would have already been
pretty dark on that mountain
at 4:30!
Fawles:
...
Mia:
Please Mr. Fawles!
This is your last chance!
Mia:
You've already taken the fall
once for something you
didn't do!
Fawles:
...
Fawles:
That woman...
It wasn't Dahlia.
Edgeworth:
Stop right there!
What more needs to be said!?
Judge:
Hmmmmm.
Mia:
(Even if it means the death
penalty. Even if it means
taking the blame for murder...)
Fawles:
(You'll still do whatever is
necessary to protect her...
Won't you, Mr. Fawles?)
--------------------------------------------
Armando:
I know it's obvious, but...
he's clearly lying.
Armando:
He's been cursed...
by Dahlia Hawthorne.
Armando:
He'll probably go to his grave
still believing in her.
Mia:
Mr. Fawles...
Armando:
Even if you can show he's
lying, the poor guy will still
be cursed...
Armando:
You'll still have to point out
the contradiction anyway.
Armando:
That's the curse of being
a defense lawyer, I guess...
RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

*Present Witness's Photo* at (3)
Mia:
*OBJECTION!*
Mia:
So when you got to the bridge,
no one had arrived, huh?
Mia:
So you waited on the bridge...
You're sure of that?
Fawles:
...
Yeah. I'm sure.
Mia:
You're sure, huh...?
Well then I'm sure too,
Mr. Fawles...
Mia:
I'm sure that you're lying.
Fawles:
Huh!
Uhh...
Wah...
Fawles:
Wah! Wah! WAAAH!!
Edgeworth:
Oh? I would love to hear
your rationale on this,
Ms. Fey...
Mia:
You want to know who
arrived at the bridge first?
Mia:
Just look at this photo.
It's perfectly clear.
Mia:
Obviously the person that came
first would be the one at the
end of the bridge, right?
Edgeworth:
B-But that's the victim at
the end of the bridge!
Mia:
Precisely my point.
In other words, Mr. Fawles...
Mia:
You must have arrived at the
bridge after she did.
Fawles:
Nng...
Urkkk... Ahhh...
Ggggaah... Blah...
Mia:
...
Mia:
Umm, Mr. Fawles.
Mia:
Please don't get so worked up.
We just want the truth.
Fawles:
...
Fawles:
I got there around 4 o'clock.
It's true.
Mia:
...!
Fawles:
I... I had somewhere to go.
A special place...
Judge:
Did you go to this special
place before you went
to the bridge?
Fawles:
Yeah...
It's an old temple about
15 minutes from the bridge.
Fawles:
Five years ago, me and
Dahlia... We promised each
other...
Fawles:
We swore we wouldn't
betray each other...
Fawles:
She brought a memento...
To represent... our love.
Mia:
A memento...?
Fawles:
Five years ago, I hid it
under base of tree there.
Fawles:
It's a special memory for me.
This is it... This is what
I went to get.
Judge:
This little bottle on a
necklace is your memento?
Judge:
It's quite charming...
but it looks empty.
Mia:
Your Honor!
You heard what my client said.
Mia:
He arrived at the scene
at 4 o'clock.
Mia:
But he then left his car
unattended and walked away!
Mia:
He was gone for approximately
30 minutes!
Edgeworth:
Urk...!
Mia:
With that much time...
Mia:
...Dahlia Hawthorne could have
easily hidden the body in the
trunk of his car!
Edgeworth:
N-NOOOOOOO!
Judge:
Indeed...
There certainly was enough
time for it!
Mia:
(I've still got a chance!)
Mia:
Mr. Fawles!
There's no mistaking it!
Fawles:
............
Fawles:
Urp!
Mia:
Huh?
Mr. Fawles...!?
Fawles:
Th-That's enough...
Please...
Judge:
W-Witness?
Fawles:
I-I promised her...
5 years ago...
Fawles:
If it ever happens...
Fawles:
...that we can't trust
each other no more...
Then...
Fawles:
...we're supposed to...
drink... bottle... Ugh...
Edgeworth:
N-No! Stop the trial!
Your Honor! We need a recess!
Fawles:
I... I was stupid...
Couldn't... keep... promise...
Fawles:
So I did it...
I... drank... this...
Mia:
No! We are so close!
Just a little more...
Mia:
I was going to prove
your innocence!
Fawles:
No... Don't want that...
Don't... trust... self...
Fawles:
Maybe kill again...
Kill sweet Dahlia... again...
Mia:
Mr. Fawles!
Fawles:
Mr. Ar... Armando...
Fawles:
Th-Thanks...
For the... coffee...
Mia:
MR. FAAAAAAAAWLES!!!!
--------------------------------------------
Mia:
And so my first trial ended...
Suddenly, and tragically.
Mia:
It ended with no winners...
Only losers.
Mia:
I ended up with a wound that
cut so deep into my soul,
I thought it'd never heal.
Mia:
I'm sure it was the same for
the young prosecutor as well.
Mia:
But one person...
Mia:
The true criminal,
Dahlia Hawthorne...
Mia:
She left the courtroom with
a secret smile on her
demonically sweet face.
--------------------------------------------
Armando:
Unforgivable...
That witch...
Mia:
M-Mr. Armando...
Armando:
We were so close to the
truth. It was right there in
front of us.
Armando:
You were just a little
too soft, Kitten...
Mia:
It's my fault!
It's all my fault that
Mr. Fawles killed himself!
Armando:
Don't cry, Kitten.
You're going to make my
coffee all salty.
Mia:
I-I knew it...!
I kn-knew I wasn't cut
out for this...!
Armando:
...............
Mia...
Mia:
...!
Armando:
Don't you get it?
You can't cry yet.
Armando:
The only time a lawyer can
cry is when it's all over.
Mia:
M-Mr. Armando...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matter how tough the
case... No matter how
bitter the memories...
...they always fade over time.
Then you file them away and
eventually forget them...
One year later, in this very
same courthouse...
I, myself, got wrapped up in
"that case".
Only after that, did Dahlia
Hawthorne get put on trial
for her crimes.
The verdict that was
ultimately handed down
to her was...
"Guilty", of course.
Naturally, when the verdict
was read, she had a perfect,
angelic smile on her face.
It was finally all over.
At least, that's what I
thought at the time.
Unfortunately...
I couldn't have been
more wrong...
It's been 5 years, but now
something has happened that's
made me remember all this.

"Shichishito". The treasured
Kurain Village heirloom whose
name means "7 Branched Sword".
It is said that this sacred
sword represents life itself.
Though the branches may
appear to be infinite, the
choices limitless...
...like our destinies, the
sword comes to but one end.
One merciless point.
And when the silver cord, the
fragile thread that binds us
to this world, is severed...
...the illusion is revealed
and the implacability of fate
is finally laid bare...

Wright & Co. Law Offices
Maya:
Hey, Nick.
Phoenix:
Yeah? What is it?
Maya:
You know how I've got
spiritual powers, unlike you?
Phoenix:
Um, sure...
You are a spirit medium,
after all.
Maya:
But just like you, if I don't
keep my powers sharp,
they get dull, right?
Phoenix:
Um... I guess so, yeah.
Maya:
Glad you agree!
OK, Pearly! You're up!
Phoenix:
(Pearls...?)
Pearl:
So! That's why we need to
go on a special "Spiritual
Hot Spot Tour", Mr. Nick!
Phoenix:
...Huh? I'm lost.
What's this magazine you're
shoving in my face?
Pearl:
It's the New Year's issue of
"Oh! Cult!", Winter Spiritual
Locations Special!
Phoenix:
...Oh.
(Pearls looks so happy.)
Maya:
"Maximize your spiritual
powers with just one night
of intensive training!"
Maya:
...Oh! It sounds too good to
be true!
Phoenix:
I'll say.
It sounds more like a scam
to me.
Maya:
It's at a spiritual retreat
called "Hazakura Temple".
Maya:
It's way up in the mountains,
and I bet it's nice and cold.
...Just perfect for training!
Phoenix:
(Now I definitely don't
want to go...)
Maya:
You know, I think I've heard
of this temple before. It's a
famous channeling dojo.
Maya:
It's hard for even real spirit
mediums like us to make
reservations up there!
Phoenix:
Reservations...?
For a temple?
Are you serious?
Pearl:
Don't worry!
I've already made special
reservations, just for us!
Maya:
Yeah! And I signed up for the
"Special Course"!
Phoenix:
Th-That's nice.
And the timing couldn't
be better.
Phoenix:
...Since we don't have a case
right now anyway.
Maya:
Alrighty then! It's settled!
Maya:
Well, come on!
Don't just stand there!
Start packing your stuff!
Pearl:
Yes, Mr. Nick!
You'd better start packing
your stuff!
Phoenix:
Huh...?
M-ME!?
Why do I have to go!?
Maya:
Well, we have to be
accompanied by someone
over 20 years old.
Phoenix:
Hey! I don't have anything to
do with spirit power. The only
thing I can channel is a TV.
Phoenix:
...
So, um, is there a heated pool
at this "Hazakura Temple"?
Pearl:
No, but you can stand
under a freezing waterfall!
Phoenix:
...
Phoenix:
Sorry, but I think I'll pass.
I hate cold places.
Maya:
Whaaat!? No way!
How can you be so selfish!?
Pearl:
Come on, Mr. Nick!
Look at this place!
Doesn't it look beautiful!?
Phoenix:
Nope. Not going. I'm gonna be
nice and toasty at home.......
.................What the...!?
Pearl:
Wh-What is it, Mr. Nick?
Phoenix:
Let me see that magazine!
Phoenix:
Th-This nun...
Maya:
Is she a friend of yours
or something, Nick?
Phoenix:
(Th-This girl...
I-It's...!)
--------------------------------------------
Dahlia:
My name is Dahlia Hawthorne.
Dahlia:
I just want to say...
It's an honor for me to be
here in your noble presence.
Dahlia:
Honestly, how can any woman
ever count on you for
anything?
Dahlia:
...You disgust me!
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
But...
It can't be!
Phoenix:
(She was found guilty and
should still be in prison...)
Pearl:
...Mr. Nick?
Phoenix:
...
I'll go.
Maya:
Huh...?
Phoenix:
Hazakura Temple...
I said I'll go.
Maya:
Yay!
Isn't that great, Pearly!?
Pearl:
Yes! Oh, thank you!
Thank you, Mr. Nick!
Pearl:
You'd do anything for Mystic
Maya, right? Even walk over
burning coals, right!?
*"Oh! Cult!" New Year's
Issue received from Pearls.*
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
(Dahlia Hawthorne...)
Phoenix:
(I knew there was no way she
could possibly be at that
temple...)
Phoenix:
(But, I just had to
be see for myself...)
Phoenix:
(...who this "nun"
really was.)

Hazakura Temple
Main Gate
Maya:
Brrrrr... It-It-It's so
c-c-cold here, Nick!
Phoenix:
Maybe you should put on
something warmer for a change!
Maya:
W-W-Well, it's supposed
to be c-c-cold...
It's t-t-training.
Maya:
...Ah-Achoo!
Phoenix:
(Her teeth are chattering so
loudly, it's all I can do to
make out what she's saying...)
Pearl:
Wow, Mystic Maya! So this is
the famous Hazakura Temple!
Maya:
P-P-P-Pearly...
I-I-I-I...
Ah-Achoo!
? ? ?:
Well, well, well...
How nice to see you here.
Welcome to our temple!
Maya:
Oh...! Th-Th-Thank you...
Ah-Achoo!
? ? ?:
Oh my, my, my...
Thank you for coming
all this way.
? ? ?:
Come now, come now.
You must have been cold.
Phoenix:
What's with the past tense...?
We're freezing into human
popsicles as we spea--!
? ? ?:
Ho ho ho.
Well, we are high up in
the mountains after all.
? ? ?:
In any case, we shouldn't
speak here.
...Please follow me inside.
Maya:
Th-Thank you. I was starting
to think I would pass--
? ? ?:
Oh! Yes, yes!
I almost forgot to
introduce myself.
Bikini:
I'm the head nun here at
the temple. My name is Bikini.
Maya:
B-B-B-Bikini...!?
Bikini:
That's riiight!
Bikini:
Actually, that's my
"temple" name.
What do you think?
Bikini:
It's a tradition to have one,
and I wanted something that
has a nice image to it.
Bikini:
So I thought, "Why not choose
a bikini?" Besides, it makes
me seem younger.
Bikini:
Wa ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!
Maya:
It certainly does!
Oh, I signed up for your
"Special Course"!
Bikini:
Well, my, my, my.
Quite brave of you
considering how cold it is!
Bikini:
Young people can be so
reckless with their health!
Bikini:
Don't blame me if you become
one with those you channel.
Wa ha ha! Ho ho ho!
Pearl:
R-Reckless...?
Maya:
"Wa ha ha"...?
Pearl:
Maybe you should take it easy
tonight, Mystic Maya...
We can come back another day.
Maya:
But you went through
all that trouble to get
reservations for m--
Bikini:
Yes, yes, yes, that's right!
You've come all this way, so
please, enjoy yourselves!
Bikini:
There's still time before
supper, so why don't you
have a look around?

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ What do you think, Nick?
+ Pretty awesome gate, huh?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It sure is...
+ It looks pretty well
+ maintained, too.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ This thing kinda puts your
+ hometown to shame, Maya.
+
+ Maya:
+ Yeah... Well, a lot of things
+ have happened in Kurain
+ Village.
+
+ Maya:
+ We used to be a lot richer,
+ back when people hired us
+ to perform channelings.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Oh, I see... But now the place
+ looks a bit run down...
+
+ Maya:
+ Hmm... I guess I was just
+ born in the wrong time.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ The Main Hall ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ That looks like the Main Hall
+ where we'll be staying
+ tonight.
+
+ Maya:
+ From here, it looks like one
+ of those ice hotels you
+ always hear about!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...They gotta have a heater
+ or something in there, don't
+ you think? I don't wanna die.
+
+ Maya:
+ I'm not worried, I brought
+ my hot-water bottle.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Did you bring one for me?
+
+ Maya:
+ What are you talking
+ about, Nick?
+
+ Maya:
+ Who carries around
+ 2 hot-water bottles?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (Brr! If the cold doesn't
+ kill me, the ice queen over
+ here will finish the job...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Bell tower +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh, look! It's a cute
+ little bell tower!
+
+ Maya:
+ I absolutely love the
+ sound of a giant bell!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Oh?
+ So, which do you like better?
+ That or the sound of money?
+
+ Maya:
+ ...!
+ ......
+
+ Maya:
+ Sorry, but I'll take money
+ for the win, Nick.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Wh-What are you
+ apologizing for?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Snowmobile +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh look, it's one of those
+ snow motorcycle things!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Most people call that a
+ "snowmobile", you know.
+
+ Maya:
+ "Snow motorcycle things",
+ "Snowblowmeal".
+ Same thing.
+
+ Maya:
+ Hmm... Too bad we didn't
+ invite Desirée.
+
+ Maya:
+ I bet she could race like the
+ wind on this "Slowmobile"!
+
+ Maya:
+ Or maybe she'd give me ride
+ on this "Blowsnowbile".
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Argh!
+ I told you, it's "snowmobile"!

Main Hall
Maya:
Th-Th-The Main Hall...
I th-think it's even
c-c-c-colder in here! Achoo!
Pearl:
Ah! Mr. Nick!
Do you smell that?
It smells like meat and gravy!
Maya:
Yeah, you're right! I guess
it's pot roast for tonight!
Yum!
Phoenix:
...Weird. I thought they would
serve something a little
more... well, traditional.
Maya:
What are you talking
about, Nick!?
Maya:
You think monks and nuns
just sit around eating rice
gruel all the time!?
Pearl:
Mystic Maya is right! Ooh! I
hope there's mashed potatoes,
too! I love mashed potatoes!
? ? ?:
Ha ha ha...
What a cute little acolyte!
? ? ?:
Greetings to all of you.
Phoenix:
Oh... Um, hello.
Phoenix:
(Wow, this lady makes Maya
look like a 6.8/10 on the
weirdness scale.)
Maya:
Your outfit...
Did you come here for the
Special Course, too...?
? ? ?:
Ha, ha, ha...
Unfortunately, no.
Actually, I'm...
Pearl:
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Pearl:
Y-You're...!
Y-You're...!
Pearl:
You're Ms. Elise Deauxnim!
Elise:
Yes, that's right...
You know of me?
Pearl:
M-M-My name...
My name is Pearl Fey!
Pearl:
I-I'm your biggest fan!
Maya:
Who is she, Nick?
Phoenix:
Hmm... I see it now...
Zvarri! A fortune-teller...?
Pearl:
I-I've got all your books,
Ms. Deauxnim!
Elise:
Ha, ha, ha...
What a sweet thing to say.
And please, call me Elise.
Phoenix:
Um, "books"...?
Pearl:
Mr. Nick, don't you know
anything!? Don't you even
know who this is?
Phoenix:
Well, um...
Phoenix:
...An author, maybe?
Elise:
Yes, and an illustrator.
...Of picture books.
Maya:
Picture books, huh?
Oh, now I get it...

EXAMINE
-------
+++ Walls/Sliding doors ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I bet the writing on these
+ sliding doors are instructions
+ for spirit channeling...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Kinda like how we scribbled
+ math formulas on the bathroom
+ walls to remember them.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Except we couldn't go to the
+ bathroom during tests... And
+ I can't read these walls.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Stuff on the floor +++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ There are straw zabuton
+ cushions arranged around
+ a hibachi brazier...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I haven't seen a layout like
+ this since I saw this really
+ old Japanese movie on TV.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...If it wasn't for this
+ hibachi, they'd probably
+ freeze to death.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Altar ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It's an altar. It looks a bit
+ old, but someone does a
+ good job taking care of it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Speaking of altars, I remember
+ seeing one like this in Kurain
+ Village last year.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I guess they really do have
+ something to do with
+ spiritual power after all.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Large Magatama on the altar ++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ There's a laughably large
+ Magatama on the altar.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ If I can see Psyche-Locks
+ with the tiny Magatama I've
+ got...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...I can only imagine what
+ kind of power this bad boy
+ has under his hood!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Left corner near the altar +++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It's a stack of straw
+ zabuton cushions.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Maya told me this type of
+ zabuton is called "enza"...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I suppose if I'd never come
+ here, I'd have missed out on
+ all these new things.

PRESENT (TO ELISE)

*** Anything *******************************
*
* Phoenix:
* Ms. Deauxnim?
* What do you think about this?
*
* Pearl:
* Mr. Nick!
* Do you think Ms. Elise
* is a suspect?
*
* Phoenix:
* Huh...?
*
* Pearl:
* You may be Mystic Maya's
* special someone, but I won't
* let you do this to Ms. Elise!
*
* Phoenix:
* (A suspect? Why would I
* suspect her of anything? It's
* not like anything's happened.)
*
* Maya:
* Isn't it cute, Nick? Pearly's
* getting all overprotective of
* her new friend.
*
********************************************
--------------------------------------------
*AFTER TALKING TO ELISE*
Elise:
Well, you'll have to
excuse me now...
Elise:
I have to go help with the
dinner preparations.
Pearl:
Wow! You mean you're
cooking dinner tonight?
Elise:
That's right. Would you
like to help too, Pearl?
Pearl:
Yes, yes!
I want to help with
whatever I can!
Phoenix:
(Pearls looks like she just
won the lottery...)
Maya:
Oh, I'll help too, then...
Elise:
...No, it's fine.
Please don't worry about it.
Elise:
Feel free to relax and explore
the area with your friend.
Maya:
Huh!? But...
Elise:
...Oh, yes!
Please take this. I think
it will be of help to you.
Elise:
It's a map of the area.
We wouldn't want you to
get lost now, would we?
Phoenix:
(The "Inner Temple"...
There it is, on the other
side of the bridge...)
Phoenix:
Well, if you insist, I guess
we'll take this chance to go
check out the other temple.
*Hazakura Temple Map added
to the Court Record.*
Pearl:
OK! I'll see you two
later then!
Pearl:
Remember!
You're not allowed to fight!
Maya:
Come on, Nick! Let's go!
At least we'll stay warm
if we keep moving!
MOVE TO: "Main Gate"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate
Maya:
Huh? Where did
Sister Bikini go?
Phoenix:
I guess she went to the
Inner Temple... To go
help that other nun out.
Maya:
Oh, right... I think her name
is... Iris?
Phoenix:
Y-Yeah...
That was it.
Phoenix:
(I want to find out who
Iris really is, but I'm scared
of what I'll find...)
Maya:
...?
MOVE TO: "Suspension Bridge"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7
Dusky Bridge
Maya:
Wow! Look at this broken
down old bridge, Nick!
Phoenix:
Y-Yeah, and look at that
big canyon below us.
Maya:
Hey! There's a river down
there! It looks like it's
flowing real fast!
Maya:
...What's wrong, Nick?
You look like you've
seen a ghost!
Phoenix:
I-I'm just not very good
with heights...
Maya:
Oh...
Hey! I've got it!
Maya:
Maybe you should face your
fear and try hurling yourself
off the edge?
Maya:
You know!
One... Two... Three... Jump!
Maya:
It might be just what
you need to get over
your fear of heights!
Phoenix:
...Yeah, death is a real
good way to overcome
phobias alright.
Phoenix:
Anyway, it sure looks like a
rickety bridge.
Maya:
Can't argue there.
Maya:
That's probably why
it's called, "Dusty Bridge".
Phoenix:
Read it again, Maya.
It says, "Dusky Bridge".
Maya:
Well, it's practically
the same thing.
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ Cliff on the other side ++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It looks like it's about
+ 20 yards to that cliff
+ over there.
+
+ Maya:
+ I guess that's where I'll be
+ training tonight.
+
+ Maya:
+ Do you want to train
+ with me, Nick?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ And do the Special Course?
+ I think not.
+
+ Maya:
+ But it'd be so great if you
+ had spiritual powers, too!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (Really? "I see dead people"
+ sounds more like a
+ cause for alarm to me...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Wooden sign on the left side +++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ There's a narrow path going
+ off in a different direction
+ than that of the Main Hall.
+
+ Maya:
+ The sign here is so old, the
+ text seems to have vanished.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ The path leads to a wooden
+ staircase that goes down to
+ the bottom of the canyon.
+
+ Maya:
+ OK, I'll write, "wooden
+ staircase" on it then.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...Do you really think that
+ is necessary? You'd have to be
+ blind not to see the stairs.
+
+ Maya:
+ Well, it can't hurt.
+ Just pass me a pencil, OK?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Graffiti is a crime, Maya.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Come on, Nick!
+ Why don't we hop across
+ the bridge. It'll be fun!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I'm not so sure... It looks
+ like a bunny hopping across
+ the bridge would destroy it.
+
+ Maya:
+ OK, Nick. Then let's try to
+ find a cute little white
+ bunny and test your theory.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (That right there sums up
+ the fundamental difference
+ between sane and insane.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Stone boulder ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Some letters are engraved
+ into a roughly cut boulder.
+
+ Maya:
+ "D-U-S-T-Y Bridge", huh?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It says, "Dusky"!
+ "Dusky Bridge"! OK?
+
+ Maya:
+ C'mon, Nick! Take a look at
+ that bridge and tell me it's
+ not supposed to be "Dusty"!
+
+ Maya:
+ This sign is obviously wrong,
+ and I'm gonna fix it!
+ Now give me a pencil, Nick!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Do I look like a pencil holder
+ to you?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Red public phone +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ I can't believe there's
+ a public phone here.
+ Who would ever use it?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ The people who live here, I
+ guess. I doubt they have any
+ real phones there.
+
+ Maya:
+ Yeah, but it took like
+ 20 minutes to walk here
+ from the Main Hall!
+
+ Maya:
+ ...
+
+ Maya:
+ It would've been smarter of
+ them to build the Main Hall
+ here, don't you think?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...Maybe you should work
+ on channeling someone who
+ makes logical sense, Maya.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOVE TO: "Inner Temple Gate"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7
Inner Temple Gate
Maya:
Whoa, that bridge was shaking
like jello in an earthquake.
Phoenix:
...
Maya:
And at least half of the wood
on that rickety bridge was
rotting, I'd bet.
Phoenix:
...
Maya:
Not to mention the last part
only had like one board
left on it!
Phoenix:
...
Maya:
What's wrong with you?
Your face is all green.
Phoenix:
C-Can you not pick on me
for a second?
Phoenix:
I'm still trying to get over
the shock that we made it
safely across that death trap.
Maya:
Yeah, I guess I'm a bit
surprised, too...
Maya:
Yikes! That "temple" is in
bad shape. It looks like it
could collapse anytime...
Phoenix:
I guess people don't use
it too often.
Phoenix:
Is this really where you're
going to train tonight?
Maya:
That has to be it.
Maya:
It's kinda creepy around
here... Like a ghost might
jump out at you or something!
Phoenix:
(A spirit medium afraid of
ghosts...? Isn't it ironic,
don't you think?)
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I don't care how much you
+ pay me, I don't want to cross
+ that bridge again.
+
+ Maya:
+ No worries, Nick. No one is
+ offering you any money.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ That's because no reasonable
+ person would call that pile
+ of popsicle sticks a bridge!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ The latter half of it was
+ nothing more than a few planks
+ of wood and some string!
+
+ Maya:
+ Hey, if we want to get back,
+ we've got no choice but to
+ cross it again, you know.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Maybe I'll just stay... I've
+ always dreamed of living in
+ a little shack in the woods.
+
+ Maya:
+ ...Wow, you really are
+ scared, aren't you?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Suspension wire ++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ It looks like this bridge
+ is suspended by 4 of
+ these wires.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...They're reeeally thin.
+ Shouldn't they be just a
+ little thicker...?
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh, stop it!
+ You're such a worrywart, Nick!
+
+ Maya:
+ If the bridge were really
+ going to collapse...
+
+ Maya:
+ ...I'm pretty sure the boards
+ would break before these
+ wires ever did!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...
+
+ Maya:
+ What's wrong?
+ You're turning into an
+ over-ripe avocado again.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Buddha statues +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh, wow!
+ Look at these neat
+ Buddha statues.
+
+ Maya:
+ Maybe I'll take one home
+ with me.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Maya!
+
+ Maya:
+ But there are so many.
+ They wouldn't notice if
+ I took just one.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Are you kidding?
+ Of course they'll notice!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ What are you gonna
+ do with one of those anyway?
+
+ Maya:
+ Put it in the office
+ of course!
+
+ Maya:
+ We can trade that wooden
+ statue in the office reception
+ area for one of these!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (You know, come to think of
+ it, where did that wooden
+ statue come from anyway...?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Incinerator ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Hey! There's a giant robot
+ buried in the snow!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Well, there's something
+ buried in the snow, but...
+ I think it's an incinerator.
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh... Hee hee.
+ But you've gotta admit it
+ looks a lot like a robot.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Um, sure... Anyway, I don't
+ think it gets used much.
+ It's looking pretty rusty.
+
+ Maya:
+ Hey, Nick!
+ Do you think this Giant
+ Robo-cinerator can walk?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I told you! It's not a robot!
+ ...And it's not especially big
+ either.
+
+ Maya:
+ Bah, you have no imagination.
+ I thought it'd be real neat if
+ you had to beat it to advance.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (A fight between a lawyer and
+ an overgrown furnace? Who'd
+ ever pay to see that!?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Yellow gate ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Hey! A half-opened gate!
+ That's practically a welcome
+ mat!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Yeah, except the sign on
+ here says, "No Entry".
+
+ Maya:
+ Umm, Nick.
+
+ Maya:
+ Rules are made to be
+ broken, you know.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...You expect a lawyer to
+ go along with that?
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh, come on! You're such
+ an old lady sometimes!
+ Let's just go!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Don't blame it on me when
+ Sister Bikini puts a curse
+ on you.
+
+ Maya:
+ ...
+
+ Maya:
+ Now you've got me scared.
+ Um, let's just forget about
+ it, OK?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Wooden log on left with sign +++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Looks like there's something
+ written on it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I can't read it, but if I had
+ to take a good guess, I'd
+ say it says, "Inner Temple".
+
+ Maya:
+ What's the point of a sign
+ if you can't read it?
+
+ Maya:
+ Must be tough for the mailman
+ when he's delivering here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (I guess the sign is a good
+ indication of how long this
+ place has been here...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ So that's the Inner Temple
+ up ahead, huh?
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It looks kinda run-down.
+
+ Maya:
+ Well, it wouldn't be very
+ temple-like if it was all
+ bright and shiny.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ So you're training here
+ tonight, huh?
+
+ Maya:
+ Yup!
+ Then everyone'll see my
+ spiritual powers!
+
+ ...Uuurrrgh...ggnngh...ggh...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Sounds like your stomach
+ wants to show off its
+ digestive powers instead...
+
+ Maya:
+ I wonder if that roast
+ is ready yet?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOVE TO: "Training Hall"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7
Inner Temple
Training Hall
Phoenix:
Man, look at this place...
It's just a tiny,
freezing-cold room.
Phoenix:
So this is where you'll both
be training, huh...
Maya:
Huh?
What do you mean, "both"?
I'm the only one.
Phoenix:
Really?
But I thought...
Maya:
Pearly's just a little kid.
She couldn't handle this
kind of intense training.
Phoenix:
(So says the girl who I can
barely hear over her bones
chattering...)
Maya:
Anyway... The real training
room must be behind that
door over there.
Maya:
Yeah, I get the feeling it's
back there, definitely.
Phoenix:
(If only because the cavern
behind that door is giving off
a real supernatural feel...)
? ? ?:
Um...
? ? ?:
Excuse me, but...
Who are you...?
? ? ?:
...Ah!
...
Phoenix:
Y-You're...
Maya:
Hi there! We're just looking
around since we're going to
be staying here tonight...
? ? ?:
...
Maya:
...?
Is something wrong?
? ? ?:
Uh, er, no!
It-It's nothing...
Maya:
I wonder why she spaced out
like that. Don't you, Nick?
Phoenix:
Uh...
D-Did you say something,
M-Maya?
Maya:
...
Not you too, Nick...
Iris:
I... M-My name is Iris.
I'm one of the nuns here
at this temple.
Maya:
I'm Maya Fey.
It's a pleasure to meet you!
Iris:
The pleasure is mine...
Iris:
...
Iris:
Oh, er, please excuse me!
I have some... um, chores
to attend to.
--------------------------------------------
Maya:
She sure is beautiful...
and a bit spacey, I guess...
Maya:
I guess she's just not used
to talking with urban
sophisticates like us.
Phoenix:
...
Maya:
Nick?
Phoenix:
(That girl...
It-It can't be, but...)
Maya:
...?
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ Dresser drawers ++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ Look at this antique dresser.
+ I wonder if there's anything
+ valuable inside.
+
+ Maya:
+ Let's have a look...
+
+ Maya:
+ Hmph... Nothing!
+ Just a bunch of clothes.
+
+ Maya:
+ Hey, Nick.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...
+ Huh! Oh, sorry.
+ I was just... thinking.
+
+ Maya:
+ Oh? About Iris, I bet!
+ Looks like you've been
+ bitten by the love bug, Nick!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Sacred cavern entrance +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+ The actual training area must
+ be on the other side of this
+ door. I wonder what it's like.
+
+ Maya:
+ Phooey...
+ It's locked.
+
+ Maya:
+ Come on, Nick!
+ You know you want to
+ open it for me!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...I can't.
+
+ Maya:
+ ...
+
+ Maya:
+ You've been in kind of a bad
+ mood lately, haven't you,
+ Nick?
+
+ Maya:
+ ...Zvarri!
+ I know what it is!
+ I-R-I-S.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ ...
+
+ Maya:
+ Ha ha ha ha ha!
+ */Iris and Nick, sitting
+ in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!*/
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Hanging scroll +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (A hanging scroll...
+ It doesn't look that
+ old either...)
+
+ Maya:
+ AAAAAAH!
+
+ Phoenix:
+ AAAAAAAAACK!
+ Wh-What is it!?
+ Why did you scream like that!?
+
+ Maya:
+ Th-This scroll...!
+
+ Maya:
+ It-It's my mother...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Wh...
+ Whaaaaaaaat!?
+
+ Maya:
+ ...It's Misty Fey.
+ The Master of the Kurain
+ School of Channeling...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Are... Are you sure?
+
+ Maya:
+ Yes...
+
+ Maya:
+ The crest at the top
+ of the scroll...
+
+ Maya:
+ That's the special mark of
+ the Master of our tradition.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (So that's what the mark
+ means...)
+
+ Maya:
+ ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+ What is it?
+
+ Maya:
+ N-Nothing...
+
+ Maya:
+ It's just that... I last saw
+ her over 15 years ago...
+
+ Maya:
+ If it wasn't for that crest...
+ I wouldn't have even known
+ it was her.
+
+ Maya:
+ My own mother... And I can't
+ even recognize her face.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ Maya...
+
+ *Hanging Scroll added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Hanging scroll (again) +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It's a hanging wall scroll
+ showing Maya's mother,
+ Misty Fey.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ It's not that old.
+ That crest at the top is the
+ official mark of the Master.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ I wonder if this temple has
+ some sort of connection to
+ the Fey family...
+
+ Maya:
+ I think it does, actually.
+
+ Maya:
+ Supposedly, it was founded by
+ a branch family member of
+ the Kurain School.
+
+ Phoenix:
+ (I'll have to ask Bikini in
+ more detail when I get the
+ chance...)
+
+ Phoenix:

Dusky Bridge
Maya:
Whew, we managed to make
it across Dusty Bridge.
Phoenix:
...
Maya:
Nick, you look green.
Are you feeling alright?
Phoenix:
...
Maya:
Hey! What's wrong with you?
Maya:
Ever since we met Sister Iris
at the Training Hall, you've
been really quiet.
Phoenix:
Huh!? Oh, um. Sorry...
? ? ?:
Hey, you! ...Wait up!
Maya:
...?
You think he's yelling at us?
Phoenix:
He must be.
There's no one else around...
? ? ?:
Would you mind moving?
You're standing right in
my way.
? ? ?:
...
Ah!
Maya:
Hey!
I know you! You're...
? ? ?:
Whoa!
Sorry!
Gotta run!
? ? ?:
...See ya!
Phoenix:
H-Hey!
Wait a minute!
? ? ?:
Oh, uh, nice to meet you.
...I'm Laurice Deauxnim.
Phoenix:
Liar! You're Larry!
Your clothes may change,
but you're still the Butz.
Butz:
Shaddup!
Butz:
I'm... I'm... Lauriiiiice!
Butz:
And I'm just here to do a
sketch of Dusky Bridge!
Maya:
So... it really is our Larry.
...Not that I get why he's
pretending to be someone else.

* Well, it's only been 5 months
* since we celebrated Ron's
* non-guilty verdict.
*
* Butz:
* Maybe so, but kids these
* days grow up so fast.
*
* Phoenix:
* ...She hasn't changed a
* bit as far as I can tell.
*
* Butz:
* Come on, Nick...
* I really doubt that.
*
* Butz:
* You just don't know 'cause
* you don't pay enough
* attention, that's all.
*
* Phoenix:
* (Sometimes I really worry
* about what goes on inside
* this guy's head...)
*
********************************************
*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Maya:
* She seems really motherly,
* doesn't she?
*
* Butz:
* What do you mean "seems"
* motherly? She IS my mother.
*
* Maya:
* ...She's your WHAT!?
*
* Butz:
* I'm gonna have to take a
* pass on answering that one.
*
* Phoenix:
* (Wait a second. Why is he
* getting off so easy this
* time...!?)
*
********************************************
*** Elise Deauxnim profile *****************
*
* Butz:
* Elise is really something.
* She's like a mother to me.
*
* Phoenix:
* Yeah, you can tell from the
* kindness reflected in her
* eyes.
*
* Butz:
* When I first looked into her
* eyes, I just couldn't help it.
*
* Butz:
* I started blabbing about all
* the bad things I had done
* in my life.
*
* Butz:
* She just laughed that gentle
* laugh of hers and listened!
*
* Phoenix:
* (Are you sure she wasn't
* just laughing at you...?)
*
********************************************
*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Butz:
* Whoo yeah! Her!
* My little Iris!
*
* Maya:
* She's really pretty.
*
* Butz:
* This girl... She's perfect!
* She's exactly my type!
*
* Butz:
* I wonder if she would model
* for me. I want to draw a
* portrait of her.
*
* Maya:
* Yeah, you always liked those
* model types, didn't you Larry?
*
* Maya:
* ...Hey, wait a sec!
* Didn't you say you were
* swearing off women...?
*
* Butz:
* Huh!?
* Yeah, that's right.
* Of course I have!
*
* Butz:
* I have... basically.
* But...
*
* Maya:
* "But"...?
*
* Butz:
* But... Iris is different.
*
* Butz:
* I feel like...
* I feel like I still have one

*AFTER TALKING TO BUTZ*
Pearl:
Everyone!
Maya:
Hey! Pearly!
Pearl:
Dinner preparations are
complete!
Pearl:
Please come quickly to
the Main Hall!
Maya:
Alright!
I can't wait to dig in,
Pearly!
Pearl:
I'm going to go to the Inner
Temple and call Sister Iris!
Pearl:
I also want to have a look at
where Mystic Maya is going
to be training...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7, 7:46 PM
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall
Maya:
Boy am I stuffed...
Phoenix:
Are you sure it's alright
to eat that much before
your training?
Maya:
Well, this kind of training is
a battle of endurance.
Pearl:
Mystic Maya... Please don't
do anything that might put
your health at risk.
Maya:
Ha ha ha.
No pain, no gain, I guess.
Pearl:
Nngh...
I'm still worried about you...
Bikini:
Well, well, well. Let's not
dilly-dally shilly-shally. You
must get ready for tonight.
Elise:
Good luck.
...Maya.
Maya:
Alright! Here I go!
I'll see you all tomorrow,
I guess!
Bikini:
Iris, please ring the bell at
10:00 for lights out, alright?
Iris:
Yes, Sister Bikini.
Bikini:
And then, after you ring the
bell, I want you to come join
us at the Training Hall.
Iris:
I understand, Sister Bikini.
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
(Maya and Bikini really seem
excited about this training
thing tonight...)
Elise:
...Well, Pearl? What are you
going to do tonight?
Pearl:
Well, umm...
Elise:
If you'd like, you can
come to my room.
Elise:
Perhaps we can read some
books together.
Pearl:
R-Really!?
I'd love to!
Pearl:
I, umm...
I'm not very good at reading.
Elise:
Ha ha ha.
Well then, would you like to
practice reading with me?
Pearl:
Ah! I'd love to!
Phoenix:
(Pearls is absolutely smitten
with Ms. Deauxnim...)
Phoenix:
So Larry, what are you
going to do?
Butz:
Huh... Me?
Um, well...
Butz:
I'm just gonna hang out in
my room. I can't stand the
cold at all.
Phoenix:
(I totally hear you there.)
Pearl:
Um, Ms. Elise?
So, for example, how do you
read this?
Elise:
It says, "gravely"...
That's kind of a tough word.
Pearl:
Oh! OK!
And what about this word?
Elise:
That's another tough one.
It says, "roast".
Phoenix:
(What kind of a book is
she reading anyway...?)
Pearl:
Well, I'm going to go wash
the dishes and help clean up.
Pearl:
I'll go visit you when
I'm done, Ms. Elise!
Phoenix:
(Well, not much to do except
head to my room and huddle
under the covers, I guess...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7, 9:12 PM
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall
Phoenix:
(Ugh... It's a whole different
type of cold up here in
the mountains!)
Phoenix:
(Argh... Why couldn't the
nearest bathroom be just a
little closer to my room...?)
? ? ?:
...Mr. Wright?
Phoenix:
Yaaaaaaah!
Phoenix:
Oh! Ah, Ms. Deauxnim!
Are you going to use the
bathroom, too?
Elise:
Um, no. But...
Have you seen Pearl?
Phoenix:
No... Not since after dinner.
Phoenix:
I thought she said she was
going to go to your room...
Elise:
I know...
But she never showed up.
Elise:
I-I'm going to go
look for her.
...Excuse me.
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
(Ms. Elise Deauxnim...
A woman as mysterious in
origin as her last name...)
Phoenix:
(But...)
Phoenix:
(The really mysterious
one is...)
Iris:
Oh...
Phoenix:
Ah...!
S-Sister Iris...!
Iris:
G... G-Good evening...
Phoenix:
(The real mysterious
one is this girl...!)
Iris:
Um, are you on your way
to the bathroom too,
Mr. Wright?
Phoenix:
(...I can't let this chance
pass me by!)
Phoenix:
(I should try to talk with
her... And maybe get some
answers.)
--------------------------------------------
MOVE
----
Phoenix:
...It's freezing cold out
there. And dark, too.
Phoenix:
There's nothing I need to
do, so I think I'll just stay
roasty-toasty in here.

*
* Phoenix:
* (Instead of showing her
* things, I really need to
* just listen to her story!)
*
* Phoenix:
* (This girl...
* Just who is she?)

********************************************
--------------------------------------------
*AFTER TALKING TO IRIS*
Iris:
Ah...
Phoenix:
Is something wrong?
Iris:
I-I didn't realize it was so
late. I have to go and ring
the bell for lights out...
Phoenix:
(I guess it's almost 10:00
now, huh?)
Iris:
...
Iris:
Um... Mr. Wright?
Phoenix:
...Yes?
Iris:
If it's alright with you...
I would like you to have this.
Phoenix:
But this is your hood...
Iris:
It has the power to protect
you from evil spirits.
Phoenix:
(Come to think of it,
Sister Bikini was wearing
one of these, too...)
Iris:
I pray for your safety
on this dark, cold night.
*Iris's Hood received
from Iris.*
Iris:
I'm sorry, but I must
bid you goodnight.
Phoenix:
Wait a minute,
Sister Iris...
Iris:
Y-Yes...?
Phoenix:
Just now, you called me
by my name...
You said, "Mr. Wright".
Phoenix:
How did you know my name?
I never introduced myself
to you.
Iris:
Th-That's...
Phoenix:
...Sister Iris.
Please, tell me the truth.
Phoenix:
You and I...
Have we ever met before?
Iris:
...
*5 PSYCHE-LOCKS*
Phoenix:
I-Iris...
Iris:
O-Oh!
It-It's almost 10:00...
Iris:
Perhaps we can speak again...
tomorrow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*gong* *gong* *gong*
Phoenix:
(So my hunch was correct...
She does know me...)
Phoenix:
(I'll have to try to talk with
her again tomorrow...)
Phoenix:
(.........)
Phoenix:
(......)
Phoenix:
(...)
--------------------------------------------
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Phoenix:
(Wh-What the...!?)
Phoenix:
(That blood-curdling scream
came from the courtyard!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7, 11:06 PM
Hazakura Temple
Courtyard
Phoenix:
(That scream... I'm sure
it came from around here...)
Phoenix:
...Aaaah!
Phoenix:
(S-Someone's there... On the
ground...!)
Phoenix:
M-Ms. Deauxniiiiiim!
...*squish*
Phoenix:
(...I just stepped on
something soft.)
Bikini:
Hey! Don't step on my
tummy like that!
Phoenix:
Wh-What are you doing
lying there in the snow!?
Bikini:
I was passed out!
What do you think!?
Phoenix:
So that blood-curdling
scream was you...?
Bikini:
F-Forget about that!
H-Hurry up and call
the police!
Phoenix:
Is there even a phone in
the Main Hall?
Bikini:
No, but we still get reception
up here in the mountains!
Bikini:
You must have a cell
phone on you, right!?
Phoenix:
I, um... I didn't bring it
with me--
Bikini:
Oh, you're useless!
Bikini:
I mean, even Iris has
a cell phone...
Bikini:
We've got no choice!
You'll have to use the public
phone by Dusky Bridge!
Bikini:
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Run as fast as you can!
Phoenix:
Y-Yes, ma'am...
Bikini:
If you don't hurry,
Iris will...
Iris will...!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 7, 11:18 PM
Dusky Bridge
Phoenix:
...*huff*...*huff*...
(It's farther than I thought.)
Phoenix:
(The bridge is just up ahead.
I have to go tell Maya what
happened, too!)
Phoenix:
............
Phoenix:
...Aaaaaaaaaah!
Phoenix:
Dusky Bridge...!
It's burning down!
(What the heck happened!?)
Butz:
What are you doing here?
Phoenix:
Aaaaaaaaah!
Butz:
Huh? What is it?
Is it me?
Phoenix:
D-Don't scare me like that,
Larry! I almost had a heart
attack!
Butz:
My name isn't Larry!
It's Laurice!
Phoenix:
Larry, hurry up and call
the police! I'm going to
the Inner Temple!
Butz:
D-Don't be stupid!
The bridge is nothing but a
burning wreck right now!
Phoenix:
Listen to me! There's been
a murder! Here! At Hazakura
Temple!
Butz:
Wha-Whaaaaat!?
Phoenix:
The murderer might have
fled across the bridge!
Phoenix:
I have to make sure
Maya is safe!
Butz:
B-B-But...
Phoenix:
Please! Call the police!
I've got to go!
...Get outta my way, Larry!
Butz:
It-It's too dangerous!
Nick, w-wait!
--------------------------------------------
Phoenix:
(I must have been crazy...)
Phoenix:
(I knew how dangerous it was,
but I still went for it...)
...*crack!*...
Phoenix:
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Butz:
Niiiiiick----!
Phoenix:
(Weakened even more by the
fire, the rickety old bridge's
planks snapped and gave way.)
Phoenix:
(And as I was swallowed by
the eternal darkness that
surrounded me...)
Phoenix:
(...a final, terrified scream
rose up to pierce the frozen
air of that harrowing night.)
To be continued.

Do you know what time it is?

It's not "Larry"!

Butz:
W-Wait! Don't hang up!

It's Nick! H-He...
He took a really nasty spill!
Edgeworth:
Well, it wouldn't be the
first time, so...
Butz:
I'm not joking!
His life is in danger!
Edgeworth:
Wh-What...!?
What happened!?
Tell me!
Butz:
Talk about a guy with bad
luck! He may already be dead!
Butz:
Anyway, you've got to come
back! You're the only one
that can help!
Butz:
My Iris... My beautiful Iris!
She needs help...!
Edgeworth:
Alright. I don't know what's
going on, but... I'll be there
as soon as I can.
Butz:
I-I'm at the detention center!
Please! Hurryyyyyy!
Phone:

Edgeworth:
(It's been one year since
I left that country...)
Edgeworth:
(I thought I wouldn't have to
see him again for a while...)
Edgeworth:
(Sounds like it won't be a
pretty reunion... As if I
expected anything to change.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 8, 2:19 PM
Detention Center
Visitor's Room
Butz:
You're late, Edgey!
What took you so long!?
Edgeworth:
I don't want to hear it!
I chartered a private jet to
come as quickly as I could!
Butz:
Well, you should've
chartered a faster one!
Butz:
Anyway, just listen!
Butz:
Something happened to
Ms. Elise... and Nick is...
Maya... and Iris's Bikini...
Butz:
...Huh?
Butz:
Say something, Edgey!
Edgeworth:
...Before I came here, I
stopped in at the hospital
where Wright is.
Edgeworth:
I believe I have a better
understanding of the situation
than you, at this point.
Edgeworth:
The murder victim was
the picture book author,
Ms. Elise Deauxnim.
Edgeworth:
She was found by Wright and
the head nun. The suspect is
the temple's younger nun.
Edgeworth:
Then later, while Wright was
crossing the bridge, it broke
and he fell into the river.
Edgeworth:
The hospital says that he'll
need at least 2 days of
bed rest.
Butz:
Y-Yes! Th-That's right!
You got it!
Butz:
B-But they arrested her...
My sweet little Iris!
Edgeworth:
(And here I was, convinced HE
was the one the police had
arrested...)
Edgeworth:
However... I still don't
understand what these
two items are for.
Butz:
What are you talking about?
Edgeworth:
They're things Wright gave
to me when I was leaving
his room.
Edgeworth:
(This is the first...)
Edgeworth:
(He said some nonsense
about being able to see into
people's hearts with this...)
Edgeworth:
(And the other... He couldn't
possibly be asking what
I think he is... could he?)
Butz:
I'm begging you!
Iris's trial starts tomorrow!
Butz:
With Nick out of the picture,
you're all I've got left!
Butz:
You're the only one that
can represent her!
Edgeworth:
...
What did you just say?
Butz:
You know!
REPRESENT! DEFEND!
What were you expecting!?
Butz:
Why do you think I called
you anyway!?
Edgeworth:
...I'm a prosecutor, Larry.
A prosecutor.
Edgeworth:
Do YOU understand what I'm
saying? A prosecutor is a
lawyer who...
Butz:
Don't talk to me like a kid!
I graduated from junior high,
you know!
Butz:
Don't worry about it!
I promise I won't tell!
Edgeworth:
But I...
Butz:
I mean, I heard a paper badge
had no problem fooling an
entire court before!
Edgeworth:
(...How could this country's
judicial system have fallen
into such decay!?)
Butz:
Please, Edgey!
Butz:
At least listen to her...
Listen to Iris's side of
the story!
Edgeworth:
(So Wright wasn't joking
when he gave me this
badge after all...)
--------------------------------------------
Iris:
Thank you for coming.
...My name is Iris.
Edgeworth:
...Edgeworth. Miles Edgeworth.
Edgeworth:
I don't know if I can be
of any help, but...
Edgeworth:
...I will at least hear what
you have to say.
...About the murder.
Iris:
Um...
Edgeworth:
...?
Iris:
M-Mr. Wright!
H-H-How is he?
Iris:
Mr. Laurice said that he...
That he might even die...
Edgeworth:
...
Edgeworth:
Fortunately, he will be fine.
(Larry, you moron! How could
you say something like that!?)
Edgeworth:
He was badly bruised when
he hit the water, but
otherwise he is unharmed.
Iris:
...
Thank goodness...
Edgeworth:
But, he's caught some kind
of nasty cold.
Iris:
A cold...?
Edgeworth:
He's running a high fever and
is drifting in and out of
consciousness.
Iris:
...
Edgeworth:
(I must be imagining things.)
Edgeworth:
(This woman... I feel like
I've met her before...)

MOVE
----
Edgeworth:
...Going to a crime scene is
akin to entering a jungle
teeming with dangerous beasts.
Edgeworth:
Before he goes there, a hunter
needs to make sure he has
plenty of ammunition.
Edgeworth:
And in my case, that
ammunition is called,
"information".

PRESENT (TO IRIS)
-----------------
*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Iris:
* Is that an attorney's badge?
*
* Edgeworth:
* Yes, this belongs to Wright.
*
* Iris:
* Really?
*
* Edgeworth:
* I'm actually a prosecutor.
*
* Iris:
* Oh...! Then why do you
* have a defense attorney's
* badge pinned on your lapel...?
*
* Edgeworth:
* Well, you see...
* I, um... I borrowed it.
*
********************************************
*** Hanging Scroll *************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* Who is the woman on this
* hanging scroll?
*
* Iris:
* Well, I don't know the
* details, but...
*
* Iris:
* I've heard she's the Master
* of the Kurain Channeling
* Technique.
*
* Edgeworth:
* M-Master?
*
* Iris:
* Yes. Mystic Misty.
* She was a great spirit medium.
* ...That's what I've heard.
*
* Iris:
* I also heard that she went
* missing over 15 years ago.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...
*
* Edgeworth:
* Spirit mediums... There's
* no such thing anyway...
*
* Iris:
* Mr. Edgeworth...?
*
* Edgeworth:
* I know all about them...
* They're nothing but frauds!
*
* Iris:
* ...?
*
* Edgeworth:
* (She doesn't know anything
* about it, of course...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (But there was a time,
* 17 years ago, when I met
* the "Master" myself...)
*
********************************************
*** Iris's Hood ****************************
*
* Iris:
* That's called a
* "Demon-Warding Hood".
*
* Iris:
* ...I gave that to Mr. Wright
* last night.
*
* Edgeworth:
* He was wearing this when I
* saw him at the hospital today.
*
* Iris:
* It's an important item for
* protecting acolytes from
* evil spirits.
*
* Edgeworth:
* If it's so important, then why
* did you give it to him?
*
* Iris:
* Last night... I felt...
* something...
*
* Iris:
* I felt that something
* terrible was about to
* happen...
*
* Iris:
* I... I didn't want Mr. Wright
* to fall into its grip.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Well he wound up falling into
* something much deeper and
* colder...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (I probably shouldn't say
* that out loud, though. Thank
* god for inner monologue.)
*
********************************************
*** "Oh! Cult!" New Year's Issue ***********
*
* Iris:
* ...I was against the idea
* of our temple appearing in
* that magazine.
*
* Iris:
* I was afraid that... this type
* of a tragedy might occur.
*
* Edgeworth:
* In that case, why did you
* allow them to run an article
* about you?
*
* Iris:
* It was Sister Bikini...
* She's actually rather fond of
* attention... Surprisingly so.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (She certainly does look
* rather happy in this photo...)
*
********************************************
*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Iris:
* That's Mystic Elise Deauxnim.
* She's a picture book author,
* or so I've heard.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Does she come to
* Hazakura Temple often...?
*
* Iris:
* No... This was her first time.
*
* Iris:
* It's just that...
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...?
*
* Iris:
* She was a very important
* visitor.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Is that so?
*
* Iris:
* Yes, Sister Bikini told me,
* "Be certain not to offend
* her."
*
* Edgeworth:
* (The victim, Ms. Elise
* Deauxnim...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (The prosecutor's office still
* doesn't have much information
* about her it seems...)
*
********************************************
*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Iris:
* Mr. Wright...
* How bad is his cold?
*
* Edgeworth:
* Well his fever is very high.
* As a result, he's rather
* confused.
*
* Edgeworth:
* He's worried about Maya,
* who is still trapped in the
* Inner Temple...
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...And he's quite worried
* about you as well, it seems.
*
* Iris:
* ...Really?
*
* Edgeworth:
* Yes... Naturally, once he
* recovers, I'll pass the baton
* back to him.
*
* Iris:
* No... Don't...
*
* Iris:
* I'm sure that Mr. Wright
* wouldn't want that...
*
* Iris:
* He wouldn't want to
* defend me.
*
********************************************
*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Iris:
* Oh... That's Mr. Laurice.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...I'm sorry?
* Who did you say it was?
*
* Iris:
* Laurice Deauxnim.
* He is Mystic Elise's
* apprentice, I think.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Alright... Now who exactly
* is this guy...?)
*
* Iris:
* He's a very sincere,
* hard-working person.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...
*
* Iris:
* Um...
* Did I say something wrong,
* Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
* E-Excuse me.
* I was temporarily at a
* loss for words.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Take a trip... Come home...
* Be thrust suddenly into
* bizarro world...)
*
********************************************
*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Iris:
* You want to know about me?
* There's not much to tell,
* I'm afraid.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Just let me get one thing
* straight. You were raised at
* Hazakura Temple, correct?
*
* Edgeworth:
* And yet, somehow, you seem
* to know Wright.
*
* Iris:
* ...!
*
* Edgeworth:
* So you two must have crossed
* paths somewhere.
*
* Iris:
* ...No, Mr. Edgeworth.
* Whomever it was...
*
* Iris:
* ...it couldn't have been me.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (What is that supposed
* to mean?)
*
********************************************
*** Anything else **************************
*
* Iris:
* I'm sorry...
*
* Iris:
* I don't leave the temple
* grounds very often...
*
* Iris:
* So I don't know very much
* about the outside world.
*
********************************************
--------------------------------------------
*AFTER TALKING TO IRIS*
Edgeworth:
Hmm...
Edgeworth:
It appears that's about
all that you can tell me.
Iris:
Thank you very much for
listening to my story.
Edgeworth:
...I visited Wright at the
hospital before coming here.
Edgeworth:
He asked me to take care
of you...
Iris:
...M-Me?
Edgeworth:
Yes, at the trial tomorrow...
He asked me to defend you.
Iris:
...
Iris:
If Mr. Wright has that much
faith in you, Mr. Edgeworth...
Iris:
...Then I will gladly entrust
my fate in your capable hands.
Edgeworth:
But before that,
I have one question.
Iris:
Yes?
Edgeworth:
Do you know Wright?
Iris:
Er...
Wh-Why would you ask that?
Edgeworth:
Whenever you came up in our
conversation, he would begin
to act a little... strange.
Iris:
...
Iris:
Mr. Edgeworth...
Are you his friend?
Edgeworth:
Friend? Well...
In a sense, yes.
Iris:
...
Iris:
It was 5 years ago...
Iris:
That's when I...
That's when I...
deceived him.
Edgeworth:
You "deceived" him...?
Iris:
I heard that he was...
in a lot of pain after what
happened.
Iris:
I know what a weak person
I am.
Iris:
That's why...
That's why I thought it was
best if he never saw me again.
Iris:
I wanted him to just forget
about me, without learning
the truth.
Edgeworth:
...
Edgeworth:
Well, if you ask me, Wright is
still suffering...
Edgeworth:
And until he learns the truth,
I don't think he will ever be
able to truly recover.
Edgeworth:
...Iris.
It's not too late.
Edgeworth:
You should go to him.
...Tell him the truth.
Iris:
...
Edgeworth:
I'll defend you, but only if
you agree to that one
condition.
Iris:
...
Iris:
Alright, Mr. Edgeworth...
I promise.
Edgeworth:
...Very well. I'll do
everything in my power to
get you an acquittal.
Edgeworth:
(That's enough information
gathering for now. I should
head to the crime scene...)
MOVE TO: "Suspension Bridge"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 8
Dusky Bridge
Edgeworth:
(It sure is cold alright...)
Edgeworth:
(So this is it...
Dusky Bridge...)
? ? ?:
Ahem!
M-Mr. Edgeworth!
Edgeworth:
Urk... Detective Gumshoe.
Gumshoe:
Long time no see!
It's been about a year?
...Or has it been longer?
Edgeworth:
It doesn't matter, Detective.
What does matter is why you're
shuffling around up here.
Gumshoe:
Oh, ouch!
...And there was a
sharp left jab!
Gumshoe:
Well, I'm happy to see
you anyway, Mr. Edgeworth!
Edgeworth:
Let me guess... You were
transferred into another
section at work.
Edgeworth:
A good choice. The vast amount
of nothing up here must be
quite easy to guard.
Gumshoe:
I heard you were back in the
country and arranged to come
all the way out here!
Gumshoe:
Everybody was real nice.
They even let me take charge
of the investigation, sir.
Edgeworth:
(...Gumshoe indeed!
Like gum on your shoe, he's
impossible to get rid of!)
Gumshoe:
I'm supposed to report on the
details of the crime scene,
sir!
Gumshoe:
Anyway! Here I am!
Detective Dick Gumshoe!
Reporting for duty!
Edgeworth:
...Great.
Um, thank you, Detective.
Gumshoe:
I thought Prosecutor Godot
was gonna get here before me.
Gumshoe:
That guy's a real mystery,
I tell you!
Edgeworth:
(...Prosecutor Godot?)
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ Cliff on the other side ++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ It looks like a pretty good
+ distance to that far cliff.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Yeah... It's gotta be around
+ 100 yards or so.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Detective... That's not even
+ CLOSE to a hundred yards.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Well...
+ I gotta admit I'm not very
+ good at judging distances.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (It's about 20 yards or so.
+ And impossible to cross
+ without a bridge, it seems...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Wooden sign on the left side +++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ There's a little shack down
+ that way called, "Heavenly
+ Hall".
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ A shack...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ It's like a run-down doghouse
+ for losers that can't bear the
+ freezing drafts of wind...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Kinda reminds me of
+ my apartment, sir.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ The name "Heavenly Hall"
+ makes it sound like a
+ palace...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Giving a hovel a great name
+ is a crime itself! I'd call
+ it false advertising!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ By the way, the name of my
+ apartment complex is
+ "Compton Castles"...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...That's not such a great
+ name, if you ask me.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Well, it's not such a
+ great apartment either, sir.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ So this is the bridge Wright
+ tried to cross?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Pretty reckless, if you
+ ask me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ I'm amazed he survived the
+ fall from up here...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Yeah, he's one lucky guy, sir.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Now I see how he manages
+ to win his cases in court.
+ Blind luck.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (I think dumb luck suits
+ Wright just a bit better.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Stone boulder ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Some letters are wildly
+ engraved into a roughly
+ cut boulder.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ "Dusky Bridge"...
+ It certainly is an
+ appropriate name.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ You need to get some glasses,
+ Mr. Edgeworth! That sign says,
+ "Dusty Bridge".
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ I can see how you read
+ it wrong, though, sir.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ You're the one who needs
+ glasses, Detective.
+ Try reading it one more time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Ah! You're right!
+ It's "Dusky Bridge" after all!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...
+ I guess whoever wrote
+ this made a mistake!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Red public phone +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Hey! It's a public phone!
+ You don't see a lot of
+ these anymore!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...That's true.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Since we've got one here,
+ why don't we take a photo as
+ a memento!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Well, um, sure. Why not?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Oh, darn it!
+ I don't have a camera with me!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...I'm gonna go buy a
+ disposable camera!
+ I'll be right back, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (What's so special about
+ public phones, and why is
+ he so fascinated by them...?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Gumshoe:
* Huh?
* What's that thing doing on
* your lapel, Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...Is it really that odd?
*
* Gumshoe:
* You bet it is, sir!
*
* Gumshoe:
* A prosecutor wearing a
* defense attorney's badge?
*
* Gumshoe:
* That's like a detective with
* a license to kill!
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Does this little thing hold
* that ominous of a meaning...?)
*
********************************************
*** Magatama *******************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* Have you ever seen this
* thing before...?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Hey, thanks a lot. I was
* getting kind of hungry!
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...*chomp!*
*
* Edgeworth:
* Wh-What are you doing,
* Detective!?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Ack!
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...I thought it was some
* kind of candy that would
* fill me up, sir.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Lately I've been feeling
* so hungry all the time...
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Nngh... Maybe his salary has
* been cut just a little too
* much...?)
*
********************************************
*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Gumshoe:
* There's a lot we don't know
* about this victim...
*
* Gumshoe:
* We don't know her real name,
* her background...
* We don't know anything really.
*
* Edgeworth:
* That's rather odd...
*
* Edgeworth:
* If she was trying to hide her
* identity, why would she
* become an author?
*
* Gumshoe:
* I'll bet it was just one
* of those things.
* You know...
*
* Gumshoe:
* She probably never
* expected to get so
* popular.
*
********************************************
*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Gumshoe:
* Whenever something happens,
* this guy always shows up like
* he hasn't got a care.
*
* Gumshoe:
* In fact, you know what...?
* Every time he shows up, I
* always wonder the same thing.
*
* Gumshoe:
* "Maybe somehow he's
* actually the cause of all
* these incidents!"
*
* Edgeworth:
* (I wonder if Gumshoe has
* realized it yet...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (But you could say the exact
* the same thing about him!)
*
********************************************
*** Dick Gumshoe profile *******************
*
* Edgeworth:
* Your face is more drawn out
* than the last time I saw you
* over a year ago.
*
* Gumshoe:
* R-Really?
* I thought so!
*
* Edgeworth:
* No, wait...
*
* Edgeworth:
* It's not so much "drawn out",
* as "weary and tired", or maybe
* just plain old "thin".
*
* Gumshoe:
* I thought that too, sir.
*
* Gumshoe:
* My salary's been kinda
* on the low end...
*
* Gumshoe:
* So yeah, my food options
* have been kinda non-existent.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Off-brand chicken soup,
* off-brand spaghetti, off-brand
* bread... That sort of stuff.
*
* Edgeworth:
* I thought you were really
* into instant noodles last
* year...?
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...I got really sick of the
* stuff after a while, sir.

*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Gumshoe:
* He's supposed to be Ms. Elise
* Deauxnim's apprentice or
* something.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...I see.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Yeah, he drew a nice
* portrait of me.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...That's nice.
*
* Gumshoe:
* But he made me pay
* him 50 cents for it.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...I'm sorry about that.
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...
*
* Gumshoe:
* You don't seem very
* interested in him,
* Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...I really don't want to talk
* about him. That's why.
*
********************************************
*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* I feel like I've seen this
* girl somewhere before!
*
* Edgeworth:
* She wasn't from a prior
* case, was she?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Nope, can't be.
*
* Gumshoe:
* We did a database search
* with her fingerprints and
* came up with nothing.
*
* Edgeworth:
* I see...
*
* Edgeworth:
* (I just can't shake this
* nagging feeling...)
*
* Gumshoe:
* Well, everyone knows that you
* are quite popular with the
* ladies, sir...
*
* Gumshoe:
* Maybe she's an old girlfriend
* that you sent to Dumpsville
* when you were younger.
*
* Edgeworth:
* D-Detective!
* Where did you hear such
* nonsense from!?
*
* Gumshoe:
* I didn't hear it from anyone.
* It's just sorta how I imagine
* you to be... sir.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (...D-Do I really inspire this
* sort of frothing desire from
* the female masses?)
*
********************************************
*** Godot profile **************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* I usually hear about promising
* young prosecutor candidates
* while they're still in school.
*
* Edgeworth:
* But I've never seen or
* heard of this person.
*
* Gumshoe:
* I gotta admit...
* He's puzzling alright.
*
* Gumshoe:
* He just appeared one day,
* big mug of steaming coffee
* in his hand...
*
* Edgeworth:
* Hmm...
* He sounds like an interesting
* man...
*
* Gumshoe:
* Yeah... The whole prosecutor's
* office is really into double
* espresso macchiatos lately.
*
********************************************
*** Anything else **************************
*
* Gumshoe:
* Look, I'm just your everyday,

* Gumshoe:
* Don't ask me such tough

MOVE TO: "Detention Center"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 8
Detention Center
Visitor's Room
Edgeworth:
(It looks like Iris is being
interrogated right now.)
Edgeworth:
...This place certainly
brings back memories.
Gumshoe:
Oh yeah. Come to think of
it, you got thrown in here
once too, didn't you, sir?
Gumshoe:
But you know what?
I've never been in jail
a single time!
Edgeworth:
(I should think it's hard to
land in jail when you're so
harmless...)
Edgeworth:
Yes, well...
Edgeworth:
If you're in jail, you don't
have to pay for your own
meals, you know.
Gumshoe:
...*gasp!*
Gumshoe:
...
Edgeworth:
Don't get any funny
ideas, Detective...!
Gumshoe:
...Too late, I already did.
Edgeworth:
(In any case... I guess I'll
have to come back here
later...)

EXAMINE
-------
+++ Surveillance camera ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ That camera is meant to
+ monitor everything that
+ happens in here.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ And right now, it's pointed
+ straight at the guard.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Guard ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ The guard is staring at me
+ with a puzzled expression
+ on his face.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Me... and the badge
+ on my lapel.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...I get the feeling he
+ recognizes me.

MOVE TO: "Main Gate"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 8
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate
Butz:
Yo! Edgey!
What took you so long!?
Butz:
I'm so cold, my brain's
turned to sherbet.
Edgeworth:
...I knew it was a mistake to
race back to this country.
Butz:
Wh-What do you mean...?
Edgeworth:
Wright is going to be fine,
and the case itself isn't
anything unusual...
Edgeworth:
And I find myself taking a
request to defend a woman
accused of murder!
Gumshoe:
...H-Hey! Wait a sec!
Hold it!
Objection!
Gumshoe:
What's going on here,
Mr. Edgeworth!?
Edgeworth:
Um, it's hard to explain,
but one thing led to
another and...
Butz:
What kind of lame excuse
is that!? And you call
yourself a defense attorney!?
Gumshoe:
Prosecutor Edgeworth is a
prosecutor, and that's why
he's Prosecutor Edgeworth!
Gumshoe:
"Prosecutor Edgeworth, Defense
Attorney" just sounds plain
old weird, pal!
Gumshoe:
...Right,
Prosecutor Edgeworth!?
Edgeworth:
(...I'm not sure what role
I'm supposed to be playing
anymore.)
Butz:
Hmph! Dude, Edgey...
I don't see you for
a couple of years...
Butz:
...and your heart turns
to sherbet!
Edgeworth:
...I'd say more like sorbet.
It is rather cold here.
Butz:
Iris didn't murder her!
Someone else did it!
Butz:
I just know it, OK!?
So trust me on this one!
Edgeworth:
Ever the romantic,
aren't you, Larry?
Edgeworth:
Nevertheless, I'll do
whatever I can to prove
her innocence.
Edgeworth:
(At least until I pass the
baton on to Wright, that is.)
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ This gate looks quite old;
+ strong enough to resist
+ the weight of time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ That's the Mr. Edgeworth I
+ know! You got a real flair for
+ words, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ I have always appreciated
+ this kind of old, timeless
+ elegance.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ That's exactly how I
+ feel, too!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Take this coat for example!
+ Like a fine wine, it gets
+ better with age!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Even fine wine turns to
+ vinegar and begins to stink
+ at some point.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...I suggest you wash that
+ atrocious rag you call a
+ coat, Detective.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ The Main Hall ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ That must be the Main Hall
+ back there.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ A brilliant deduction, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ............
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Are you trying to flatter me,
+ Detective Gumshoe?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Umm...
+ A brilliant use of suspense
+ to build the tension, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (According to Wright, the head
+ nun has some important
+ information.)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (I can't miss the opportunity
+ to speak with her...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Bell tower +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ I can see a small bell tower
+ from here.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Hey, that just reminded me!
+ There's something I've
+ always wondered about...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (Something tells me he's going
+ to tell me what's on his mind,
+ whether I like it or not...)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ We call a person who tells
+ a lie a "liar", right?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ So why don't we call a
+ person who rings a bell
+ a "beller"?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Or "truer" for a guy who tells
+ the truth! Oh man, I'm not
+ gonna get any sleep tonight!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (I had no idea he was
+ such a deep thinker...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Snowmobile +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ I suppose this type of thing
+ is necessary up here in the
+ mountains.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Say, this just gave me a
+ great idea!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (Something tells me he's going
+ to tell me what's on his mind,
+ whether I like it or not...)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ I've got an idea for a brand
+ new invention! It might even
+ make me rich!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ An invention...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Yeah! A car that can
+ travel on snow!
+ I'll call it a "Snow Car"!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ So what do you think, sir?
+ Would you go for a ride
+ on something like that?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...Only after you take the
+ first 1000 test rides.

*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Butz:
* Come to think of it, when

* always saying,
*
* Butz:
* "When I grow up, I want to be
* a lawyer and defend people,"
* or something like that.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...That was a long time ago.
*
* Butz:
* But see, now you've got the
* chance to follow your
* boyhood dream for a day!
*
* Butz:
* Edgey! You've gotta do it!
* You gotta save my little Iris!

* Edgeworth:

* Edgeworth:
* (Grr... This is exactly why
* I hate childhood friends...)

* But! Someone's pinning this

* Iris!
*
* Butz:
* Edgey! Please!
* I'm counting on you!
*
* Edgeworth:
* Well... Frankly, I was hoping
* you could give me a little
* more than that.
*
* Butz:
* ...Errr. Well then...
*
* Butz:
* I got it! I'll draw you a
* portrait! How about that!?
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...
* Since you're kind enough

*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Butz:
* He was a good guy...
* A real pal to the end.
*
* Butz:
* When I look back now, I have
* nothing but good memories.
*
* Edgeworth:
* What's with the past tense?
* He's not dead, you know!
*
* Butz:
* Yeah, you're right.
* Anyway, the guy owes me.
* After all, I saved his life.
*
* Edgeworth:
* What is that supposed
* to mean?
*
* Butz:
* If I hadn't called for help
* so quickly, he would have
* died.
*
* Butz:
* It's no surprise though. I
* used to be a security guard.
* It was all instinct, baby!
*
* Edgeworth:
* (He has a point... He called
* me pretty quickly, too...)
*
* Edgeworth:

*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Butz:
* Huh? Me? All you have to

* What...?
*
* Butz:
* I'm a new person now.
* I've been reborn...

* Alright, fine.
* Let me ask you something

********************************************
*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* I have a feeling that

*
* Butz:
* Could be... After all, she's
* shy and gets embarrassed
* pretty easily.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...I don't think that has
* anything to do with it.
*
* Butz:
* Why not?
* Look, I know all about this

*
* Butz:
* C'mon Edgey... You were a guy

*
* Edgeworth:
* Well, you most certainly seem

* Man, I love shy girls like

Hey! Hello there!
Um, so how are you feeling?
Bikini:
Alright, I suppose.
...Huh? Who is this?
Edgeworth:
I... My name is...
Miles Edgeworth.
Bikini:
My my my.
A handsome boy such as
yourself is always welcome!
Bikini:
*sigh*
If circumstances weren't
so tragic, I might just...
Edgeworth:
(Please don't call me "boy".)
I'm sorry to trouble you...
Edgeworth:
But I'm looking for a
woman in a bikini.
Bikini:
Well, you have found her.
Now, what can I do for you?
Edgeworth:
...
Edgeworth:
I'm sorry, but I don't see
any bikinis...
Bikini:
Ha ha ha!
If you ask nicely, I might
give you a peek, big boy.
Bikini:
Wa ha ha ho ho ho!
Gumshoe:
Umm... Mr. Edgeworth?
Gumshoe:
This is the head nun,
Sister Bikini... She's the
witness.
Edgeworth:
...
Edgeworth:
Why didn't you tell me that
earlier!?
Edgeworth:
This is exactly why your
salary keeps on getting cut!
Gumshoe:
Nngh...
My stomach is already growling
in protest...
Bikini:
So... Um... What's the latest
about my beloved Iris!?
Edgeworth:
Well, first...
I want to hear what you know.
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ Walls/Sliding doors ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ There's flowing script
+ written everywhere on
+ the walls.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Man, I'd bet you'd have awful
+ nightmares if you tried to
+ sleep in here.
+
+ Bikini:
+ This is our Main Hall, so it's
+ protected by a variety of
+ magic spells and charms...
+
+ Bikini:
+ They're all designed to
+ prevent evil forces from
+ entering.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ So if I slept here the uggie-
+ woogie-boogieman wouldn't hunt
+ me down for eternity? Alright!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (Does this guy think about
+ anything other than eating
+ and sleeping...?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Stuff on the floor +++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Oh! It's a warmed cat box!
+ But where are all the cats?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...It's called a "hibachi".
+ It's for heating the room.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Oh! Look at all these ancient
+ straw frisbees!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Those are a type of "zabuton"
+ cushions called "enza"!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Why are you giving me
+ such a hard time?
+ Huh, Mr. Edgeworth? Why?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Because learning something new
+ might actually be a good thing
+ for you, Detective!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Altar ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ It's an altar with a giant
+ Magatama enshrined on it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ There are lots of candles
+ lined up on it, too.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ You know...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ I haven't had a birthday party
+ for myself in a while...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Maybe you should blow out
+ those candles over there to
+ make up for that.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Mr. Edgeworth?
+ Would you mind singing
+ "Happy Birthday" to me?
+
+ Bikini:
+ S-Stop that! Cut that out!
+ Please don't blow out the
+ altar candles!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Large Magatama on the altar ++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...That thing sure casts a
+ strong presence over the
+ whole room.
+
+ Bikini:
+ This is the "Lesser Magatama".
+ It's a precious heirloom
+ containing a great many souls.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Huh...!?
+ This is "lesser"!? What is
+ the "greater" one like?
+
+ Bikini:
+ The "Greater Magatama"
+ is displayed in the Main
+ Room of Fey Manor.
+
+ Bikini:
+ It was supposed to be
+ shown at the Treasures
+ of Kurain exhibit...
+
+ Bikini:
+ But, it was so large that
+ they couldn't bring it
+ through the doors.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Left corner near the altar +++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (There are more enza cushions
+ in the corner of the room.)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...What's that white piece of
+ paper sticking out from under
+ that stack...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Hmm... Beats me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Would you mind checking that
+ for me, Detective Gumshoe?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Y-Yes, sir!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Here you are, Mr. Edgeworth!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ It looks like an old
+ manila envelope...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Eeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...What is it, Detective?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Th-This...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ This could be it!
+ An ultra important clue!
+ A super-special clue!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...I suppose I should read
+ it myself then.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ It looks like a letter
+ addressed to Sister Iris.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ "tonight at 10 at Heavenly
+ Hall. ... ...unless you want
+ your 'secret' to be exposed."
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Th-This sounds like
+ a blackmail letter...!
+
+ *Note to Iris added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Nice going there,
+ Mr. Edgeworth!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Why can't I ever find
+ clues like that!?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ You're an ultra-important
+ prosecutor!!
+ A super-duper prosecutor!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Well, I suppose it takes a
+ super-duper kind of dumb to
+ miss a clue like this.
+

+++ Left corner near the altar (again) +++++

*** Magatama *******************************
*
* Bikini:
* Th-That's...!
*
* Bikini:
* That's one of the Fey clan's
* very own Magatamas!
*
* Bikini:
* That's a priceless treasure
* you've got there!
*
* Gumshoe:
* W...Wow! I'm impressed, sir!
* You never fail to surprise
* me!
*
* Bikini:
* Yes... You don't look it,
* but now I can see you're a
* real fan of the occult!
*
* Edgeworth:
* Excuse me?
*
* Bikini:
* Oh, of course this piece
* couldn't possibly be real, but
* to have such a nice replica...
*
* Bikini:
* Clearly, you are a big fan of
* the Kurain Tradition!
*
* Gumshoe:
* W...Wow! I'm impressed, sir!
* You never fail to surprise
* me!
*
* Edgeworth:
* (I should have known better
* than to show this thing
* around...)
*
********************************************
*** Hanging Scroll *************************
*
* Bikini:
* Huh... Ahh!
* Well, well, well...
* Look what you've found!
*
* Bikini:
* That's the Master of the
* Kurain Channeling Technique,
* Mystic Misty Fey!
*
* Edgeworth:
* "Fey"...
*
* Bikini:
* It's been nearly 20 years
* since Mystic Misty's
* disappearance.
*
* Bikini:
* Apparently, she intended to
* pass on the Master title to
* her daughter.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Who is this daughter?
*
* Bikini:
* Well, I myself am part
* of a branch family of
* the Fey clan.
*
* Bikini:
* But even I am not privy to
* information concerning the
* main family...
*
********************************************
*** Iris's Hood ****************************
*
* Bikini:
* Well, well, well!
* That's a Demon-Warding Hood!
*
* Bikini:
* Acolytes are highly
* susceptible to possession
* by evil spirits, you know.
*
* Bikini:
* That's why we always wear
* these for protection.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Oh, I see...
*
* Bikini:
* What are you waiting for?
* You won't get any protection
* just by holding it, you know!
*
* Bikini:
* Put it on already!
*
* Edgeworth:
* No! I can't...!
* I was just...!
*
* Bikini:
* ...
* Ha ha ha ho ho ho!
*
* Gumshoe:
* Ho ho ho!
* It's like it was made just
* for you, Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* Edgeworth:
* What do you mean by
* that, Detective!?
*
* Bikini:
* It looks absolutely marvelous!
* You've just got to keep it
* on for a while!
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Is this some sort of divine
* retribution...?)
*
********************************************
*** "Oh! Cult!" New Year's Issue ***********
*
* Edgeworth:
* About this picture...
*
* Bikini:
* Well look at that!
* I look pretty s-to-the-exy,
* don't you think!?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Um, ah... Y-Yeah.
* Absolutely.
*
* Bikini:
* Up until recently, we've
* avoided exposure in such
* magazines.
*
* Bikini:
* But this time we had
* our reasons...
*
* Edgeworth:
* Is that so?
* For exampl--?
*
* Bikini:
* Ha ha ha ha ha!!!
* Well, why deny the world the
* sight of such a lovely face!?
*
********************************************
*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Bikini:
* ...Ohhhh!
*
* Bikini:
* H-How could such a...
* terrible thing have
* happened...?
*
* Bikini:
* It's all... It's all...
* It's all my fault!
*
* Gumshoe:
* Well come on, lady...
* I don't think you need to
* take all the blame yourself.
*
* Bikini:
* Quiet! What do you
* know anyway!?
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...Ouch. You're scary!
*
* Bikini:
* With that stupid 5 o'clock
* shadow and that stupid
* old coat of yours...
*
* Bikini:
* It's too bad that you weren't
* the one that disappeared!
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...Why does she have to take
* it all out on me?
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Her anger does seem
* a little... manufactured.)
*
********************************************
*** Note to Iris ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* Do you know anything about
* this old, crumpled-up letter?
*
* Bikini:
* ...
* Is that addressed to Iris?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Yup, it clearly says
* "To Iris" on it.
*
* Bikini:
* I can't believe it...
* That girl doesn't have
* any secrets from me...
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Ah... So Sister Bikini
* didn't know anything
* about it...)
*
********************************************
*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Bikini:
* This man... His face betrays
* a life of suffering and great
* weariness of the world.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...Um, sure.
*
* Bikini:
* But even so... I can't
* believe this guy actually
* jumped into the river!
*
* Bikini:
* Think of all the fun things
* he might have enjoyed if
* he had just lived...
*
* Bikini:
* Relentless spiritual training
* alone is no way to lead a
* complete life, huh...
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...
*
* Edgeworth:
* (It sounds like she's got
* some major regrets she's
* dealing with...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Hmm... Perhaps I should let
* Gumshoe explain Wright's
* situation to her for me...)
*
* Gumshoe:
* H-Hey! Don't look at me
* like that! Do you own
* dirty work! ...Sir!
*
********************************************
*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Bikini:
* This is Mystic Elise's
* apprentice, is it not?
*
* Bikini:
* I think he might have a bit
* of a crush on me...
* Sweet boy at any rate.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Huh?
*
* Bikini:
* Oh, I don't blame him.
* Sister Bikini understands the
* temptations of young men.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...Sure.
*
* Bikini:
* But I'm afraid it wouldn't be
* proper to abuse my position.
* I am head nun, after all.
*
* Bikini:
* But, in return, I did allow
* him to draw a portrait of me.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (I pray it was a pose
* that maintained your modesty.
* For everyone's sake...)
*
********************************************
*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
* You said you went with Maya
* to the Training Hall in the
* Inner Temple last night.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Did you happen to see
* Iris while you were there?
*
* Bikini:
* Of course I saw her.
*
* Bikini:
* I told her to meet us after
* ringing the 10:00 bell for
* lights out.
*
* Gumshoe:
* So you're saying Iris came
* to the Inner Temple then?
*
* Bikini:
* Of course she did.
* Iris has always been a good,
* obedient girl.
*
* Bikini:
* After that, I had Maya begin
* her training ceremony.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (But that doesn't fit
* with Iris's story at all...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (She said that she never
* went to the Inner Temple!)
*
* Gumshoe:
* As they say...
* "The plot thickens!"
*
********************************************
*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Bikini:
* It's all my fault...
* Me and my stupid back!
*
* Bikini:
* Mystic Elise has been
* murdered, an important
* acolyte is trapped...
*
* Bikini:
* ...and a little girl has been
* lost!
*
* Gumshoe:
* You know you really
* shouldn't be so negative.
* It creates bad karma...
*
* Bikini:
* ...Quite right.
* I need to do some more
* training myself, I think...
*
********************************************
*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Bikini:
* She's a very important
* visitor, you know!
* An honored acolyte!
*
* Edgeworth:
* "Honored"?
* How so?
*
* Bikini:
* The Fey name is synonymous
* with the Kurain Channeling
* Technique.
*
* Bikini:
* Therefore, she must be a
* spirit medium of great power
* indeed.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Now that you mention it,
* one year ago...
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...there was a case that was
* about the Master of the Kurain
* Channeling Technique!
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...Detective.
*
* Edgeworth:
* I detest talk of supernatural
* drivel. I suppose now you'll
* say she has midi-chlorians?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Ho ho ho.
* So it gives you the creeps,
* huh, Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
* (...That's got nothing
* to do with it.)
*
********************************************
*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Bikini:
* Oh, this poor girl...
* Where could she have gone...?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Well, we checked out her
* home and she's not there.
*
* Bikini:
* And she's nowhere in
* the vicinity of the temple
* either...
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Which means...)
*
* Edgeworth:
* (...there's only a few other
* possibilities as to where she
* could be.)
*
* Gumshoe:
* Ah! Do you think maybe she
* fell off the bridge and was
* carried downstream...!?
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...
*
* Edgeworth:
* Why do you have to be such a
* pessimist, Detective!?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Nngh... I was just trying to
* think like you, Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Ironic. I became a pessimist
* only after I had the pleasure
* of working with you!)
*
********************************************
*** Anything else **************************
*
* Gumshoe:
* Umm, about this here...
*
* Bikini:
* Hmm...
* Let me see...
*
* Bikini:
* Well, as you may know...
* In order to see reality for
* what it truly is...
*
* Bikini:
* ...we strive to break our
* attachments to much of
* the transient, material realm.
*
* Bikini:
* I guess you could call me
* an "immaterial girl"!
*
* Gumshoe:
* I guess she lives in an
* immaterial world, huh
* Mr. Edgeworth?
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: "Courtyard"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 8
Hazakura Temple
Courtyard
Gumshoe:
And this is where the
murder took place, sir!
Gumshoe:
Other than removing the body,
we left everything else
untouched!
Edgeworth:
Thanks, Detective.
I'll just have a look around.
Edgeworth:
(It looks like the police are
still investigating...)
Gumshoe:
Oh yeah, by the way...
I thought I'd better ask,
just to be sure...
Gumshoe:
Are you really gonna
defend that nun, Iris, at
the trial tomorrow?
Edgeworth:
Yes, I will... I gave her my
word and now I must follow
through with my commitments.
Gumshoe:
Well, in that case...
I've gotta be careful...
Gumshoe:
Gotta make sure I don't
leak the prosecution's
whole investigation...
Edgeworth:
Don't worry about it,
Detective.
Edgeworth:
Just keep your mouth closed
and I think most of it will
flow out on its own.
Gumshoe:
...
Gumshoe:
Roger, sir!
I know exactly what
you're saying!
Edgeworth:
Very well, Detective...
(Thankfully his diarrhea of
the mouth is permanent...)
--------------------------------------------
EXAMINE
-------
+++ Lantern on the left ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ It's a lantern... I suppose
+ they light it at night.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ There's something elegant
+ about the light of a fire.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ At the end of each month,
+ I always like to relax in
+ my room by candlelight.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Detective...
+ Can you not afford to pay
+ your electricity bill...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...How did you know?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ The staff on the snow ++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ What's this...?
+ It looks like a wizard's
+ staff.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ That belonged to the victim,
+ Ms. Elise Deauxnim.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ There's nothing strange or
+ magical about it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...Oh yeah!
+ Listen, this is just
+ between us, OK sir?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Yes... What?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ This is top-secret stuff!
+ Don't tell anyone about this.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...Alright.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ The truth is...
+ When I was a kid...
+ I wanted to be a wizard!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ......
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ That's it?
+ That's what you wanted
+ to tell me?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ That's it.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (This staff was made from
+ a very strong kind of wood...)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...What about fingerprints?
+ Were there any on it?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Just the victim's.
+
+ *Victim's Staff added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Ami Fey statue +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ So the sword from this
+ gold statue is actually
+ the murder weapon?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ It sure is. It's called a
+ "Shichishito" by the way.
+ Nasty piece of work, sir.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ There's still blood on it...
+ I suppose this is the
+ victim's blood?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Yup. It's all over the blade.
+ And speaking of "all
+ over the blade"...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ There are fingerprints
+ all over the hilt of the
+ Shichishito, too.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Fingerprints...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Naturally they match the
+ prints we got from the
+ younger nun, the defendant.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (Her fingerprints are on
+ the murder weapon...!?)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ What's wrong?
+ You're looking really solemn.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Is this how it is for Wright?
+ Is this what it's like to be
+ a defense lawyer?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Yeah, I figure it doesn't
+ feel really good.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...To be honest, it feels
+ more like it's detrimental
+ to your health.
+
+ *Shichishito added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Stone wall +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ The Main Gate must be just
+ over that stone wall.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Ah, stone walls...
+ I jumped over a few of
+ those in my time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Most of them are good
+ memories, but not all.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Detective... Perhaps someone
+ should introduce you to the
+ concept of paucity of words...
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Top right corner +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ The Main Hall of Hazakura
+ Temple is above us here.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Hey... You're right!
+ But I'm pretty sure the Main
+ Hall didn't have a 2nd floor.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Hazakura Temple was built on a
+ steep part of the mountain.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ The front and back of the
+ Main Hall are on different
+ levels.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Oh... That makes sense...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ But wouldn't it be easier
+ just to build the place
+ slanted, sir?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (I fail to see how he can
+ consider that to be an even
+ remotely good idea.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ Ski apparatus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Ah! I just love skiing!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Really? You don't um...
+ seem like the type.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ Well, what about sleds?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ Sleds? Nah. They're a little
+ too kiddy, you know? Messes
+ with my "hard boiled" image.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+ ...What's with the silence,
+ Mr. Edgeworth?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+ (I...Is the world starting to
+ go mad?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PRESENT (TO GUMSHOE)

*** Victim's Staff *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
* Oh, so I think I might have
* already told you about this,
* but...
*
* Gumshoe:
* The truth is...
* When I was a little kid...
*
* Edgeworth:
* You wanted to become
* a wizard, right?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Hey, that's amazing!
* How did you know that!?
*
* Gumshoe:
* So? What do you think? I'd
* make a really great one,
* don't you think?
*
* Edgeworth:
* We just had this conversation
* a little while ago, Detective!
*
********************************************
*** Shichishito ****************************
*
* Gumshoe:
* This sword represents the
* multiple branches that life
* can take, all ending as one.
*
* Edgeworth:
* Hmm...
* I've never heard that one.
*
* Gumshoe:
* You know what I think
* about sometimes?
*
* Gumshoe:
* What kind of life would I have
* had if I hadn't joined the
* Homicide Division.
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...So you think about
* that kind of thing too, huh?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Of course I do.
* I think about it a lot.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Me as a traffic cop.
* Me as a detention officer.
* Me as the Blue Badger...
*
* Edgeworth:
* (...I guess he doesn't have
* any plans to leave the force.)
*
********************************************
*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
* This is the witness who saw
* the crime take place out there
* in the temple courtyard.
*
* Gumshoe:
* I'm pretty sure it's gonna be
* her testimony that'll be key
* to this case, sir.
*
* Edgeworth:
* So you mean she's going to
* be a witness in the trial
* tomorrow...?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Of course!
*
* Gumshoe:
* A nun is as trustworthy
* as you can get! We got
* this one in the bag!
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...
* Oh.
*
* Gumshoe:
* I-I mean, I've always been
* on your side, Mr. Edgeworth,
* sir!
*
* Gumshoe:
* So yeah, this is a pretty
* tight spot we've gotten
* ourselves into, huh!?
*
* Edgeworth:
* (Now I understand why Wright
* is always breaking into a
* cold sweat...)
*
********************************************
*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Edgeworth:
* I wonder if Maya is alright?
*
* Edgeworth:
* I could never show my face
* to Wright again if something
* were to happen to her.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Aww, it'll be OK.
*
* Gumshoe:
* If that ever happens, you
* can just show him my face.
*
* Gumshoe:
* How's that...?
*
* Edgeworth:
* ...
*
* Gumshoe:
* Ack!
* Um, I didn't mean it like
* that, sir!
*
* Gumshoe:
* It was just a silly
* little joke!
*
* Edgeworth:
* I wonder if there is another
* way to get across to the
* other side?
*
* Edgeworth:
* The support wires for the
* bridge are still intact,
* correct?
*
* Gumshoe:
* That bridge is almost
* 20 yards long...
*
* Gumshoe:
* I know I may look like it,
* Mr. Edgeworth, but I'm
* no super hero.
*
* Edgeworth:
* (In any case, I just hope
* Maya is alright...)
*
********************************************
*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Edgeworth:
* What about Pearl...?
* Has no one seen her at
* all since last night?
*
* Gumshoe:
* Seems that way...
*
* Gumshoe:
* Apparently, she hasn't gone
* back to Kurain Village either,
* sir.
*
* Edgeworth:
* But it's true that she was
* with Elise Deauxnim at some
* point last night?
*
* Gumshoe:
* No doubt about it.
*
* Gumshoe:
* Ah...!
*
* Gumshoe:
* Y-You mean that maybe
* whoever killed Ms. Deauxnim
* also...!?
*
* Edgeworth:
* D-Don't jump to any
* crazy conclusions!
*
* Gumshoe:
* Oooooouuuch!
*
* Gumshoe:
* ...You sure have one mean
* punch, Mr. Edgeworth! It's
* down-right fierce!

...Hmm.
I don't see Larry anywhere.

Maybe we scared the

with a Psycholock.)

What a thorn in my side.)
