Brrring...

   Brrrrring...

 

-Cellular

*beep*

 

-???

Hello? This is Maya.

 

-Mia

Hey Maya, it's me.

 

-???

Mia!

What's up? You haven't

called in a while.

 

-Mia

Sorry, I've been so busy.

How you been?

 

-???

Well, LONELY.

And it's all YOUR fault.

 

-???

Nah, I'm just teasing.

 

-???

I've been great! I'm finally

getting used to having my

own place.

 

-Mia

That's good to hear.

 

-Mia

Actually, I'm calling because

I have a favor to ask.

 

-???

I know, I know. You want me

to hold evidence for you?

 

-Mia

Sharp as always!

 

-Mia

There's a lot of buzz about

the upcoming trial...

 

-Mia

I just don't feel safe

keeping the evidence here.

 

-???

I gotcha.

So, what is it this time?

 

-Mia

It's... a clock.

 

-???

A clock?

 

-Mia

Yeah, it's made to look like

that statue, "The Thinker."

And it tells you the time!

 

-Mia

I thought you might like it.

You always liked toys.

 

-???

Hey! I'm not a little

girl anymore, Sis!

 

-Mia

Now, now. You know

I'm only teasing.

 

-Mia

Ah, I should probably tell

you, the clock isn't talking

right now.

 

-???

Huh? It's not working?

That's lame!

 

-Mia

I had to take the

clockwork out. Sorry.

 

-Mia

I put some papers

inside it instead.

 

-???

Papers? Is that

the evidence, then?

 

-???

Hmm, well... there's a

possibility that it might

turn out that way, yes.

 

-Mia

Can you come by the office

tonight, say 9:00, to pick

it up?

 

-Mia

I'll be in a pretrial

meeting until then.

 

-???

Okay, Sis, but I expect

dinner! Something good!

 

-???

Like... burgers! I could

really go for a good burger.

 

-Mia

Okay, okay.

We'll hit the usual joint.

 

-???

Alright! It's a deal!

 

-???

Okay, Sis, see you soon!

 

-Mia

Yep.

I'll be waiting, Maya.

September 5, 8:57 PM

Fey & Co. Law Offices

 

-???

Now, Miss Fey, I'll take

what's mine... the papers.

 

-Mia

I'm sorry, but I can't

give you what I don't have.

 

-???

Miss Fey,

you are a poor liar.

 

-???

Why, I see it right

over there...

 

-???

That must be "The Thinker"

that swallowed those papers.

 

-Mia

How could you know...?

 

-???

Ho hoh. You are not

cogniferous of my

background?

 

-???

Gathering information is

my business, you see.

 

-Mia

I... I should have been more

careful.

 

-???

Ho hoh.

 

-???

My dear Miss Fey...

I am so very sorry.

 

-???

But I am afraid I must ask

you for one more thing.

 

-???

Your eternal silence...

Farewell, Miss Fey.

 

-Mia

Red... White... Blue...

September 5, 9:08 PM

Fey & Co. Law Offices

 

-Phoenix

Uh oh, I'm late.

 

-Phoenix

Huh, that's strange.

The chief must have

gone home already.

 

-Phoenix

She said her sister was

coming over so we should

all go out for dinner...

 

-Phoenix

...

 

-Phoenix

What's that smell...?

 

-Phoenix

Blood...?

 

-Phoenix

Mia!

(Maybe she's in her office!)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

***Examine Anything*************************

*

* -Phoenix

* I smell blood...

* and that can't be good!

*

* -Phoenix

* I have to check and see if

* Mia... the Chief's okay!

*

********************************************

 

MOVE TO: Office

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

-Phoenix

That smell... Blood!

 

-???

...

 

-???

*sob*

 

-???

Sis...

 

-Phoenix

(Someone's there!)

 

-Phoenix

...!

 

-Phoenix

Chief? Chief...?

 

-Phoenix

Chief!!!

 

-Phoenix

Who are you?

 

-???

...

 

-Phoenix

(The strange girl dropped out

cold. I left her lying on

the office sofa.)

 

-Phoenix

(I went back to the chief

where she lay under the

window.)

 

-Phoenix

(Her body was still warm...)

 

-Phoenix

(I could feel it when

held her shoulder.)

 

-Phoenix

(Then, all too quickly,

it began to fade...)

 

-Phoenix

(Until finally she was cold.)

 

-Phoenix

Chief...

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

***Examine window***************************

*

* -Phoenix

* There's a large building

* right across from the office.

*

* -Phoenix

* The "Gatewater Hotel."

* A nice, luxurious place.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine the thinker**********************

*

* -Phoenix

* It's encrusted with

* dried blood.

*

* -Phoenix

* How ironic that this became

* the murder weapon... again.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine shards of glass******************

*

* -Phoenix

* Some shards of glass are

* scattered on the floor.

*

* -Phoenix

* They seem to be the remains

* of a glass light stand.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine office chair*********************

*

* -Phoenix

* The chief's chair.

*

* -Phoenix

* A simple, functional design.

* Feels pretty good to sit in,

* too.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine Mia******************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Chief...

*

* -Phoenix

* It's hard seeing her like

* this, but if there are any

* clues here...

*

* -Phoenix

* She was struck on the head

* with a blunt object.

*

* -Phoenix

* She probably died instantly.

*

* -Phoenix

* "The Thinker" lying next

* to her must have been

* the murder weapon.

*

* The Thinker added

* to the Court Record.

*

* -Phoenix

* Hmm... there are some glass

* shards near the chief's body.

*

* -Phoenix

* Must be pieces of the glass

* light stand lying broken in

* the back of the room.

*

* Glass Shards added

* to the Court Record.

*

* -Phoenix

* Nothing else that seems

* like a clue here...

*

* -Phoenix

* Hmm...?

*

* -Phoenix

* A piece of paper! It must

* have fallen from Mia's hand!

*

* -Phoenix

* What could it be?

*

********************************************

 

***Examine Mia again************************

*

* -Phoenix

* It's painful to look... but

* I have to, for Mia's sake.

*

* -Phoenix

* Looks like she was hit

* in the head with a blunt

* weapon.

*

* -Phoenix

* She probably died

* instantly.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine paper before meeting Maya********

*

* -Phoenix

* !

*

* -Phoenix

* A word is written in blood

* on this scrap of paper!

*

* -Phoenix

* "Maya"...?

* Did Mia write this?

*

* -Phoenix

* This piece of paper is a

* receipt from a department

* store, dated yesterday.

*

* Receipt added to

* the Court Record.

*

* -Phoenix

* (I think that's enough

* snooping around for now.)

*

* -Phoenix

* (I'd better call the police...)

*

* -Phoenix

* (and find out what that

* girl was doing here.)

*

********************************************

 

***Examine paper after meeting Maya*********

*

*

* -Phoenix

* "Maya"...?

* Did Mia write this?

*

* -Phoenix

* This piece of paper is a

* receipt from a department

* store, dated yesterday.

*

* -Phoenix

* (Wait a second!)

*

* -Phoenix

* ("Maya"...!)

*

* -Phoenix

* (Was Mia trying to tell us

* something about that girl?)

*

* -Phoenix

* (I think I'd better show

* her this receipt.)

*

* -Phoenix

* (I never thought there'd be a

* use for evidence like this

* outside the courtroom!)

*

* Receipt added to

* the Court Record.

*

* -Phoenix

* (I think that's enough

* snooping around for now.)

* (and find out what that

* girl was doing here.)

*

********************************************

 

***Examine ledger***************************

*

* -Phoenix

* The Fey & Co. ledger book.

*

* -Phoenix

* Everything is written in

* the chief's ultra-neat

* handwriting.

*

* -Phoenix

* It's a small office, but

* it makes a good bit of money.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine desk*****************************

*

* -Phoenix

* A perfectly normal office

* desk.

*

* -Phoenix

* The chief had a very

* particular policy about

* office décor:

*

* -Phoenix

* "Spend big on stuff the

* clients use, but keep your

* own stuff simple."

*

********************************************

 

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

*

* -Phoenix

* Surprisingly, the chief

* was never good with machines.

*

* -Phoenix

* About all she used this

* PC for was e-mail.

*

* -Phoenix

* She picked up this ancient

* model at some garage sale

* for practically nothing.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine right bookcase*******************

*

* -Phoenix

* All the chief's important

* documents are packed in here.

*

* -Phoenix

* This is where she filed

* her case records and

* recent rulings.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine telephone************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Right!

* I'd better call the police!

*

* -Phoenix

* ...?

*

* -Phoenix

* That's funny...

*

* -Phoenix

* A few of the screws on the

* receiver are missing...

*

* -Phoenix

* It looks like someone was

* halfway through taking

* it apart.

*

* -???

* Police!?

*

* -???

* Please, come quick!

*

* -Phoenix

* (Wh-what was that!?)

*

* -Phoenix

* (Someone screaming from

* outside the window!?)

*

* -Phoenix

* ...!

*

* -Phoenix

* She's staring right at me!

*

* -Phoenix

* She's holding a phone

* in her hand...

*

********************************************

 

***Examine phone again**********************

*

* -Phoenix

* The phone receiver is missing

* a few screws.

*

* -Phoenix

* I'd better not use it.

*

********************************************

 

MOVE TO: Fey & Co. Law Offices

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

-Phoenix

...!

 

-Phoenix

(That girl just now...

where'd she go!?)

 

-Phoenix

(I put her right there

on that sofa...!)

 

-Phoenix

(Uh oh... I hope she

didn't run on me.)

 

-Phoenix

Yipes!

 

-Phoenix

(Don't scare me like that...)

 

-Phoenix

Umm...

 

-Phoenix

Excuse me but, who are you?

 

-???

...

 

-Phoenix

It's okay. I work here.

 

-Maya

Maya...

 

-Maya

Maya Fey.

 

-Phoenix

Maya... Fey?

 

CONTINUE IF RECEIPT IS IN COURT RECORD, JUMP TO NEXT SCENE BREAK IF NOT.

 

-Phoenix

("Maya"...?)

 

-Phoenix

(So Mia was writing

this girl's name!)

 

-Phoenix

(Maybe I should show

her the receipt?)

 

-Phoenix

(I never thought there'd be a

use for evidence like this

outside the courtroom!)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

***Talk about "What happened"***************

*

* -Phoenix

* (She seems to be in shock.

* I don't want to disturb her,

* but I have to know...)

*

* -Phoenix

* Um... excuse me?

*

* -Phoenix

* Can you tell me

* what happened?

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* I came in...

* The room was dark.

*

* -Maya

* And Sis... Sis...!

*

* -Phoenix

* (So she was already dead.)

*

********************************************

 

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

*

* -Phoenix

* So, you're the chief's...?

*

* -Maya

* Sister. I'm her

* younger sister.

*

* -Phoenix

* And you were here... visiting?

* This late at night?

*

* -Maya

* Yes. She said she wanted me

* to keep some evidence for her.

*

* -Phoenix

* Evidence...?

*

* -Maya

* Yes...

* I-it was that clock...

*

* -Maya

* It was "The Thinker."

*

********************************************

 

***Present Attorney's Badge*****************

*

* -Maya

* I'm sorry, I've never

* seen that before.

*

********************************************

 

***Present The Thinker**********************

*

* -Phoenix

* Um, about "The Thinker"...

*

* -Maya

* !

*

* -Maya

* The Th-Thinker...

*

* -Maya

* That was...

* Oh, Sis! *sob*

*

* -Phoenix

* (Hmm, probably shouldn't have

* asked her about the murder

* weapon...)

*

********************************************

 

***Present Glass Shards*********************

*

* -Phoenix

* This was lying next

* to the chief.

*

* -Maya

* I know. I saw it there too.

*

* -Maya

* I thought they might be

* pieces of the light stand.

*

* -Phoenix

* Hmm. Maybe.

*

* -Phoenix

* (Never heard of a glass

* light stand before...)

*

********************************************

 

***Present Receipt**************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Before Mia died, she wrote

* a message with her own blood.

*

* -Phoenix

* She wrote it on the

* back of this receipt.

*

* -Maya

* !

*

* -Maya

* Th-th-that's MY name!

*

* -Maya

* W-why!?

* Why would she write my name?

*

* -Phoenix

* Please, just calm down.

*

* -Maya

* W-why would

* Sis write my name?

*

* -Phoenix

* (Uh-oh. Now I've done it...)

*

* CONTINUE IF TELEPHONE NOT EXAMINED

*

* -Phoenix

* (I'd better hurry up

* and call the police!)

*

********************************************

 

***Examine door*****************************

*

* -Phoenix

* The door to the chief's

* office. It's slightly open.

*

* -Phoenix

* I'd better not touch

* the door knob.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine bookshelf************************

*

* -Phoenix

* You couldn't cram more legal

* books in here, even if you

* wanted to.

*

* -Phoenix

* Few can gaze upon the shelves

* without feeling insignificant.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine writing desk*********************

*

* -Phoenix

* A small writing desk cluttered

* with office supplies.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine reception desk*******************

*

* -Phoenix

* The reception desk.

* I usually sit here.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine painting*************************

*

* -Phoenix

* A large painting.

* I guess you'd call

* this "modern art."

*

* -Phoenix

* I, on the other hand,

* call it a mistake.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine sofa*****************************

*

* -Phoenix

* This sofa is for clients.

* It's leather... a real

* luxury model.

*

********************************************

 

AFTER:

   1) Examining the phone

   2) Presenting the receipt to Maya

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

*whee-ooo* *whee-ooo*...

*whee-ooo* *whee-ooo*...

 

-Phoenix

!

 

-Phoenix

The police!

(Sounds like they're

coming this way!)

 

Freeze! Police!

 

-Gumshoe

Alright, I'm Detective

Dick Gumshoe, see?

 

-Phoenix

(Gumshoe...?

What an odd name.)

 

-Gumshoe

We received a report from the

building across the way, see.

 

-Gumshoe

Got a person saying

they saw a murder.

 

-Phoenix

(It must have been

that woman I saw.)

 

-Gumshoe

Anyway, I don't want either

of you moving one inch, 'kay?

 

-Phoenix

(Great. Just great.)

 

-Phoenix

(Maya... Wait, she

wouldn't have... nah.)

 

-Gumshoe

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

-Gumshoe

Scuze me!

 

-Maya

Eek!

 

-Gumshoe

This word "Maya" here

mean anything to you?

 

-Maya

...!

 

-Maya

Um... that...

 

-Maya

That's my name...

 

-Gumshoe

WHAAAAT!?

 

-Gumshoe

The victim drew this here

note in her own blood, see?

 

-Gumshoe

With her dying breath, she

wrote down the killer's name!

 

-Maya

K-killer...? I'm not--

 

-Gumshoe

Case closed! You're coming

down to the precinct, ma'am.

 

-Maya

W-what?

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

-Phoenix

Mia's younger sister, Maya,

was arrested on the spot.

 

-Phoenix

I was taken in for questioning

and didn't get out until the

next morning.

 

-Phoenix

My eyes were heavy...

but I couldn't sleep.

 

-Phoenix

I sat around, waiting for

visiting hours to begin at

the detention center.

 

-Phoenix

I had to talk to Maya

as soon as possible.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

September 6, 9:07 AM

Detention Center

Visitor's Room

 

-Phoenix

(Wow, they have poor Maya

locked up like a criminal.)

 

-Maya

Oh!

 

-Maya

It's you! The lawyer...

 

-Maya

G-good morning.

 

-Phoenix

Good morning!

 

-Phoenix

(She looks so tired...)

 

-Maya

Um...

 

-Maya

Are you going to

be my attorney?

 

-Phoenix

Well, that's what I wanted

to talk to you about...

 

***It's up to you***************************

*

-Phoenix

* (I'd better give it

* to her straight...)

*

* -Phoenix

* It's up to you.

*

* -Maya

* Up... to me?

*

* -Phoenix

* Yes. I don't think this is

* something I should decide.

*

* -Phoenix

* After all, you're the one

* in trouble here.

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* They're never going to

* believe me... are they?

*

* -Maya

* Even you, when you found me

* in the office. You looked at

* me like I had done it!

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

***Of course I will*************************

*

* -Phoenix

* (First things first, I better

* get her cheered up...)

*

* -Phoenix

* Yeah, of course I will!

* Cheer up!

*

* -Maya

* R-really...?

*

* -Phoenix

* (Whoa! Did I say the wrong

* thing? She looks sadder now!)

*

* -Phoenix

* Um... what... what's wrong?

* You don't think I can do it?

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* No... no one could!

*

* -Maya

* Who would believe me?

*

* -Maya

* Even you, when you found me

* in the office. You looked at

* me like I had done it!

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

***Sorry, not a chance**********************

*

* -Phoenix

* (Maybe if I joke a bit

* she'll cheer up...)

*

* -Phoenix

* Hah hah!

* No way, Jose!

*

* -Phoenix

* Just kidding...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Phoenix

* (Eh heh. Whoops.

* That didn't go so well.)

*

* -Maya

* ...Heh...

*

* -Phoenix

* Huh?

*

* -Phoenix

* M-Maya...?

*

* -Phoenix

* Was that a... chuckle?

*

* -Maya

* What?

*

* -Maya

* N-no!

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* It wasn't very

* believable, was it?

*

* -Phoenix

* (Not really...)

*

* -Maya

* I-I'm sorry!

*

* -Maya

* I just thought, since

* you'd made a joke...

*

* -Maya

* Please, don't mind me!

* You're doing just fine!

*

* -Phoenix

* (Who's trying to

* cheer up who here!?)

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* I knew it.

*

* -Maya

* No one will believe me.

*

* -Phoenix

* What?

*

* -Maya

* Even you--when you found me

* in the office. You looked at

* me like I had done it!

*

********************************************

 

-Phoenix

(Did I look at her

like that?)

 

-Phoenix

No, no! I never thought...

 

-Maya

I-it's okay.

I understand.

 

-Maya

...

 

-Maya

And.. I've also heard

about you.

 

-Phoenix

Heard...? Heard what

about me?

 

-Maya

I... was talking to my sister

on the phone the other day...

 

-Mia

"Today was my junior partner's

first time in court."

 

-Maya

Wow! Really?

How'd that go?

 

-Mia

"It was quite the scene!"

 

-Mia

"Honestly, I was on edge

the whole time. It's

been a while..."

 

-Maya

Hah! So, he crashed and

burned?

 

-Mia

"...He's a genius."

 

-Mia

"One of those 'strike fear

into the hearts of evil'

types..."

 

-Mia

"The only thing he's lacking

is... experience."

 

-Maya

Huh, sounds like it was fun!

 

-Maya

Well, I know who to go to if

I ever get into trouble now!

 

-Mia

"I don't know, Maya."

 

-Mia

"I think you might want

to wait... give him three

more years."

 

-Mia

"That is, unless you want

to be found guilty."

 

-Maya

That's what she said!

 

-Phoenix

...

 

-Maya

I-I'm sorry!

 

-Maya

I didn't mean to

trouble you...

 

-Phoenix

No, it's okay.

It's true, I guess.

 

-Phoenix

But... at the same time,

I can't just sit and watch!

 

-Phoenix

When I think of the person

who did this to Mia...

 

-Maya

...

 

-Maya

I know...

 

***Examine security camera******************

*

* -Phoenix

* Smile for the camera...

*

********************************************

 

***Examine security guard*******************

*

* -Phoenix

* This guard monitors

* the visitor's room.

*

* -Phoenix

* He hasn't moved an inch.

* A real pro, this guy.

*

********************************************

 

***Present The Thinker**********************

*

* -Phoenix

* I wanted to ask you

* about the murder weapon...

*

* -Maya

* Poor Sis... *sniff*

*

* -Phoenix

* (Hmm. Better not ask

* her about this now.)

*

********************************************

 

***Present Glass Shards*********************

*

* -Phoenix

* This was lying next

* to the chief's body...

*

* -Maya

* I saw that too.

*

* -Maya

* They said they thought

* these were pieces of a

* broken light stand.

*

* -Phoenix

* Yeah, that seems

* about right.

*

* -Phoenix

* (Though I'd never heard

* of a glass light stand

* before this...)

*

********************************************

 

***Present Receipt**************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Remember that receipt?

* -Maya

* Y-you mean the one

*

* -Phoenix

* Any idea why she...

*

* -Maya

* Absolutely none!

*

* -Maya

* Um...

*

* -Maya

* Do you trust me?

*

* ***I trust you******************************

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * I trust you.

* *

* * -Maya

* * Why?

* *

* * -Maya

* * Don't you think

* * I did it, too?

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * No, I don't.

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * (It's just a hunch, but...)

* *

* * -Maya

* * That detective

* * You're just like

* * the detective.

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * I'm sorry...

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * I don't like lying just to

* * make people feel better.

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * But it doesn't mean that

* * I've decided you did it!

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * (She seemed so lost

* * at the crime scene.)

***Present Maya's Memo**********************

 

-Phoenix

I wanted to ask you

about your cell phone...

 

-Maya

That detective took it

when they brought me in.

 

-Phoenix

(So, Gumshoe took it...)

 

-Phoenix

(I'll have to try to

get it back next time

I see him...)

 

********************************************

 

***Present other****************************

*

* -Maya

* Sorry... I've never

* seen that before.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Maya"************************

*

* -Phoenix

* There's something I've

* been wanting to ask you...

*

* -Maya

* Yes?

*

* -Phoenix

* What's with that outfit?

*

* -Maya

* Oh, this?

*

* -Maya

* This is what all acolytes

* wear. It's my uniform, you

* could say.

*

* -Phoenix

* A-acolytes? Like people in

* religious training? What is

* it you do?

*

* -Maya

* Oh! It's nothing

* strange, really!

*

* -Maya

* I'm a spirit medium.

* ...In training.

*

* -Phoenix

* A s-spirit medium!?

* (I'm pretty sure that

* qualifies as strange.)

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "The day of the crime"********

*

* -Phoenix

* Could you tell me about

* the day of the murder?

*

* -Maya

* Yes!

*

* -Maya

* Let's see... that morning,

* I got a call from my sister.

*

* -Maya

* She wanted me to hold onto

* a piece of evidence for an

* upcoming trial.

*

* -Phoenix

* Evidence?

*

* -Maya

* Yes. That clock shaped like

* "The Thinker."

*

* -Phoenix

* (The one Larry made...)

*

* -Phoenix

* How could that have been

* evidence in a case?

*

* -Maya

* Um, right, she said

* something about that...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* I remember!

*

* -Maya

* Do you want to hear it

* in her own voice?

*

* -Phoenix

* H-her own voice!?

*

* -Maya

* Yes.

*

* -Maya

* I'm pretty sure our

* conversation is on

* my cell phone.

*

* -Phoenix

* You recorded it!

*

* -Maya

* Yeah! I forgot how to

* delete those things.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Your cell phone"*************

*

* -Phoenix

* So, you say you have a

* conversation with your

* sister on your cell phone?

*

* -Phoenix

* Let's hear it!

*

* -Maya

* Right!

*

* -Maya

* Oh!

*

* -Maya

* I just remembered: that

* detective took my cell phone.

*

* -Maya

* Sorry.

*

* -Phoenix

* Oh, right.

* (Of course...)

*

* -Phoenix

* Next time I see Detective

* Gumshoe I'll ask him for it.

*

* -Maya

* I'll write you a note so

* you don't forget, okay?

*

* -Phoenix

* Sure, thanks.

*

* Maya's Memo added

* to the Court Record.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "The day of the crime" again**

*

* -Phoenix

* Could you tell me about

* the day of the murder?

*

* -Phoenix

* Sorry... I know

* it must be hard.

*

* -Maya

* No, it's okay.

*

* -Maya

* All I've been doing the

* last few hours is talking

* about it.

*

* -Maya

* I've kind of gotten

* used to it...

*

* -Maya

* Let's see... that morning,

* I got a call from my sister.

*

* -Maya

* She wanted me to hold onto

* a piece of evidence for an

* upcoming trial.

*

* -Phoenix

* (That's "The Thinker" clock

* that Larry made.)

*

* -Phoenix

* (It practically qualifies

* as a serial murderer by now.)

*

* -Phoenix

* So then, when did you

* arrive at the office?

*

* -Maya

* It was right around 9:00.

*

* -Maya

* The lights were off and...

* I could smell blood.

*

* -Maya

* Th-then I found her.

* My sister...

*

* -Phoenix

* Thanks, Maya.

*

* -Phoenix

* That's all I need

* to hear for now.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Spirit mediums"**************

*

* -Phoenix

* So you're an acolyte.

* A, er, medium-in-training.

*

* -Maya

* That's right.

*

* -Maya

* The Fey family, especially the

* women, have always been very

* sensitive to the spirit world.

*

* -Phoenix

* Wait a second, you said

* the "Fey Family"?

*

* -Phoenix

* So, Mia was into

* this stuff too?

*

* -Maya

* Of course!

*

* -Maya

* She left the mountain to

* "follow her career," she said.

*

* -Maya

* Her powers were first-

* class, too!

*

* -Phoenix

* (I... I had no idea.)

*

* -Phoenix

* Hmm...

*

* -Phoenix

* Wait...!

*

* -Maya

* What?

*

* -Phoenix

* So, you're a real, honest-

* to-goodness spirit medium?

* With E.S.P. and all that?

*

* -Maya

* Yes.

* ...In training.

*

* -Phoenix

* Well, can't you contact

* Mia's spirit, then?

*

* -Phoenix

* We can just ask

* her who killed her!

*

* -Maya

* ...!

*

* -Maya

* I-I'm sorry...

*

* -Maya

* I'm still in training.

*

* -Maya

* I couldn't do something

* on that level...

*

* -Phoenix

* (Hmm... I thought that

* would be too easy.)

*

********************************************

 

AFTER:

   1) Talking about everything

 

-Maya

...

 

-Maya

Um...!

 

-Phoenix

Huh? Something the matter?

 

-Maya

Um... I was wondering,

could I ask you a favor?

 

-Phoenix

...?

 

-Maya

This is the address of

a famous lawyer.

 

-Maya

My sister gave me

this a long time ago.

 

-Maya

She said if I was ever in

trouble, I should call him.

 

-Maya

And, well, I'm in trouble.

 

-Maya

Do you think you could go

ask him to represent me?

 

-Phoenix

(Hmm...)

 

***Accept***********************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Sure, why not?

* I'll go ask.

*

* -Maya

* Thank you so much!

*

* -Maya

* I have no one

* else to turn to...

*

* -Phoenix

* ...?

*

* -Phoenix

* Say, what about

* your parents...?

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Phoenix

* I... I see.

* Don't worry, leave it to me.

*

-Maya

* Thank you!

* The trial's tomorrow...

* at 10:00.

*

* -Phoenix

* W-what!? Tomorrow!?

*

* -Maya

* Tomorrow.

*

* -Phoenix

* What if this guy refuses!?

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

***Refuse***********************************

*

* -Phoenix

* I'm sorry...

*

* -Phoenix

* I think this is the kind

* of thing you should really

* do yourself.

*

* -Maya

* ...You're right.

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Phoenix

* Something wrong?

*

* -Maya

* Actually, I asked the police

* to contact him, and they

* tried calling a few times.

*

* -Maya

* Nobody could get

* a hold of him!

*

* -Phoenix

* They couldn't find him?

*

* -Maya

* I have no one left to ask!

*

* -Phoenix

* ...?

*

* -Phoenix

* Say, what about

* your parents...?

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Maya

* ...

*

* -Phoenix

* O-okay! Don't worry,

* I'll go ask him for you.

*

* -Maya

* Y-you will?

* Thank you so much!

*

* -Phoenix

* I'm just worried what will

* happen if I can't find him.

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

-Maya

They told me that if I don't

find one, the state will pick

an attorney to defend me.

 

-Phoenix

When will that happen?

 

-Maya

They're giving me until

4:00 this afternoon.

 

-Phoenix

(And visiting hours are almost

up... I'd better hurry!)

 

-Phoenix

Right, I'll be back!

 

MOVE TO: Fey & Co. Law Offices

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

September 6

Fey & Co. Law Offices

 

-Phoenix

(The office is filled

with police officers.)

 

-Phoenix

(They're all busily searching

for clues...)

 

-???

Hey! You there!

 

-???

This is a crime scene, pal!

No trespassing!

 

-???

Umm... Sorry, don't I

know you from somewhere?

 

-???

Wait, you're that Butz guy,

aren't you!

 

-Phoenix

No, no, Phoenix Wright.

(How could anyone mistake

me for Larry!?)

 

-???

Ah, guess I got the

wrong name, Mr. Wright.

Sorry 'bout that.

 

-???

That Butz guy, he was

a killer! And you're

no killer! Right?

 

-Phoenix

(He WAS proven innocent...)

 

-Phoenix

Umm... right.

And you were...

 

***Detective Gumshoe************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Um... Gumshoe, wasn't it?

* Dick Gumshoe?

*

* -???

* Right!

* At your service.

*

* -???

* Hang on! That's Detective

* Gumshoe to you, pal!

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

***Detective Suedeshoes*********************

*

* -Phoenix

* Um... Suedeshoes, wasn't it?

*

* -???

* That's me! Don't step on

* my blue suede shoes...

*

* -???

* Wait! That's a song, pal!

*

* -???

* My name's Dick Gumshoe...

*

* -???

* W-wait!

*

* -???

* That's Detective

* Gumshoe to you, pal!

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

***Detective Gumtree************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Um... Gumtree, was it?

* Detective Gumtree?

*

* -???

* G-Gumtree...?

*

* -???

* Gum doesn't grow

* on trees, pal!

*

* -???

* And I'm the one in charge here

* so don't push your luck!

*

* -Phoenix

* (Whatever you say,

* Detective...)

*

* CONTINUE

*

********************************************

 

-Gumshoe

Anyway, get the name right.

 

-Gumshoe

And don't go calling me

"Dick"...

 

-Police

Hey, Dick!

Get over here!

 

-Gumshoe

Y-yes, sir!

 

-Gumshoe

B-be right there!

 

-Gumshoe

Umm... ahem!

 

-Gumshoe

You're her lawyer,

right, pal?

 

-Gumshoe

If you got business here,

you'd better do it quick!

 

-Phoenix

(Whew! He thinks I'm

Maya's lawyer...!)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

***Examine window***************************

*

* -Phoenix

* The sky is blue,

* and so am I...

*

* -Phoenix

* There's that hotel,

* right across the way.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine plant****************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Mia's favorite potted plant.

*

* -Phoenix

* I remember it had this

* bizarre name no one

* could ever remember.

*

* -???

* "Cordyline stricta," pal!

*

* -Phoenix

* (Who was that!?)

*

********************************************

 

***Examine desk*****************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Mia's desk.

*

* -Phoenix

* Perfectly clean, as always.

*

* -Phoenix

* The only thing it's

* missing is... Mia.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine poster***************************

*

* -Phoenix

* An old movie poster.

*

* -Phoenix

* Apparently, this was the

* first movie that made Mia

* cry when she saw it.

*

* -Phoenix

* I'll have to check it

* out one of these days.

*

********************************************

 

***Examine bookcase*************************

*

* -Phoenix

* There's a horrendous amount

* of legal books here.

*

* -Phoenix

* Scarier still is that Mia

* probably read all of these.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Mia"*************************

*

* -Phoenix

* About Ms. Fey...

* did you do an autopsy?

*

* -Gumshoe

* Hmm?

* You want to know

* the results, eh?

*

* -Phoenix

* ...

*

* -Gumshoe

* Now don't you look

* at me like that, pal!

*

* -Gumshoe

* It's no use!

*

* -Gumshoe

* She might have been your

* boss, but that doesn't mean

* you get any special treatment.

*

* -Gumshoe

* Alright, alright.

* You can see the report,

* but that's all!

*

* Autopsy Report added

* to the Court Record.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Mia" again*******************

*

* -Phoenix

* So, Mia's death was

* instantaneous.

*

* -Gumshoe

* That's right, pal.

*

* -Gumshoe

* She was... a beautiful person.

*

* -Phoenix

* You knew her, Detective?

*

* -Gumshoe

* Sure. All of us down at

* the precinct knew Ms. Fey.

*

* -Gumshoe

* Much as it pains me to say

* this, she was a darn good

* lawyer.

*

* -Gumshoe

* Hey, what are you looking at?

* I just got a little dust

* in my eye, that's all.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Maya"************************

*

* -Phoenix

* Um, about Maya...

*

* -Gumshoe

* Yeah!

* I'm looking forward

* to the trial!

*

* -Gumshoe

* Sorry, pal, but this is

* one trial you aren't

* going to win!

*

* -Phoenix

* W-why do you say that?

*

* -Gumshoe

* The city's put Prosecutor

* Edgeworth on the prosecution!

*

* -Phoenix

* (Edgeworth...)

*

* -Gumshoe

* I'm sure you know what

* that means, you being a

* lawyer and all.

*

********************************************

 

***Talk about "Edgeworth"*******************

*

* -Phoenix

* Prosecutor Edgeworth...

*

* -Gumshoe

* That's right, pal!

* Mr. Miles Edgeworth himself!

*

* -Gumshoe

* Wait... you do know him,

* don't you!?

*

* ***Of course I do!**************************

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * I know him. He's a feared

* * prosecutor. He doesn't feel

* * pain, he doesn't feel remorse.

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * He won't stop until he gets

* * his "guilty" verdict.

* *

* * -Gumshoe

* * Aww, don't talk about him

* * that way. You make him

* * barely sound human!

* *

* * -Gumshoe

* * Still, I'm afraid this pretty

* * much decides the case.

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * (So, Edgeworth is on this

* * one...)

* *

* * -Phoenix

* * (He hasn't lost a case since

* * he became prosecutor at the

* * incredibly young age of 20.)

* *
