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
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,
Fey &
-???
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

September 5,
Fey &
-
Uh oh, I'm late.
-
Huh, that's strange.
The chief must have
gone home already.
-
She said her sister was
coming over so we should
all go out for dinner...
-
...
-
What's that smell...?
-
Blood...?
-
Mia!
(Maybe she's in her office!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine Anything*************************
*
* -
* I smell blood...
* and that can't be good!
*
* -
* I have to check and see if
* Mia... the Chief's okay!
*
********************************************
MOVE TO: Office
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
That smell... Blood!
-???
...
-???
*sob*
-???
Sis...
-
(Someone's there!)
-
...!
-
Chief? Chief...?
-
Chief!!!
-
Who are you?
-???
...
-
(The strange girl dropped out
cold. I left her lying on
the office sofa.)
-
(I went back to the chief
where she lay under the
window.)
-
(Her body was still warm...)
-
(I could feel it when
held her shoulder.)
-
(Then, all too quickly,
it began to fade...)
-
(Until finally she was cold.)
-
Chief...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine window***************************
*
* -
* There's a large building
* right across from the office.
*
* -
* The "Gatewater Hotel."
* A nice, luxurious place.
*
********************************************
***Examine the thinker**********************
*
* -
* It's encrusted with
* dried blood.
*
* -
* How ironic that this became
* the murder weapon... again.
*
********************************************
***Examine shards of glass******************
*
* -

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

*
********************************************
***Examine desk*****************************
*
* -
* A perfectly normal office
* desk.
*

* "Spend big on stuff the
* clients use, but keep your
* own stuff simple."
*
********************************************
***Examine computer*************************
*
* -
* Surprisingly, the chief
* was never good with machines.
*
* -

* for practically nothing.
*
********************************************

*
* -???
* Police!?

* -???
* Please, come quick!
*
* -
* (Wh-what was that!?)
*
* -
* (Someone screaming from
* outside the window!?)
*
* -
* ...!
*

(That girl just now...
where'd she go!?)
-
(I put her right there
on that sofa...!)
-
(Uh oh... I hope she
didn't run on me.)
-
Yipes!
-
(Don't scare me like that...)
-
Umm...
-
Excuse me but, who are you?
-???
...
-
It's okay. I work here.
-Maya
Maya...
-Maya
Maya Fey.
-
Maya... Fey?
CONTINUE IF RECEIPT IS IN COURT RECORD, JUMP TO NEXT SCENE BREAK IF NOT.
-
("Maya"...?)
-
(So Mia was writing
this girl's name!)
-
(Maybe I should show
her the receipt?)
-
(I never thought there'd be a
use for evidence like this
outside the courtroom!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "What happened"***************
*
* -
* (She seems to be in shock.
* I don't want to disturb her,
* but I have to know...)
*
* -
* Um... excuse me?
*
* -
* Can you tell me
* what happened?
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I came in...
* The room was dark.

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

* So, you're the chief's...?
*
* -Maya
* Sister. I'm her
* younger sister.
*
* -
* And you were here... visiting?
* This late at night?
*
* -Maya
* Yes. She said she wanted me
* to keep some evidence for her.
*
* -
* Evidence...?
*
* -Maya
* Yes...
* I-it was that clock...
*

* (Hmm, probably shouldn't have
* asked her about the murder
* weapon...)
*
********************************************
***Present Glass Shards*********************
*
* -
* 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.
*
* -
* Hmm. Maybe.
*
* -
* (Never heard of a glass
* light stand before...)
*
********************************************
***Present Receipt**************************
*
* -
* Before Mia died, she wrote
* a message with her own blood.
*
* -
* 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?
*
* -
* Please, just calm down.
*
* -Maya
* W-why would
* Sis write my name?
*
* -
* (Uh-oh. Now I've done it...)
*
* CONTINUE IF TELEPHONE NOT EXAMINED
*
* -
* (I'd better hurry up
* and call the police!)
*
********************************************
***Examine door*****************************
*
* -
* The door to the chief's
* office. It's slightly open.
*
* -
* I'd better not touch
* the door knob.
*
********************************************
***Examine bookshelf************************
*
* -
* You couldn't cram more legal

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

*
* -
* A small writing desk cluttered
* with office supplies.
*

***Examine reception desk*******************
*
* -
* The reception desk.
* I usually sit here.
*
********************************************
***Examine painting*************************
*
* -
* A large painting.
* I guess you'd call
* this "modern art."
*
* -
* I, on the other hand,
* call it a mistake.
*
********************************************
***Examine sofa*****************************
*
* -
* This sofa is for clients.
* It's leather... a real
* luxury model.
*
********************************************

The police!
(Sounds like they're
coming this way!)
Freeze! Police!
-Gumshoe
Alright, I'm Detective
Dick Gumshoe, see?
-
(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.
-
(It must have been
that woman I saw.)
-Gumshoe
Anyway, I don't want either
of you moving one inch, 'kay?
-
(Great. Just great.)
-
(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?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Mia's younger sister, Maya,
was arrested on the spot.
-
I was taken in for questioning
and didn't get out until the
next morning.
-
My eyes were heavy...
but I couldn't sleep.
-
I sat around, waiting for
visiting hours to begin at
the detention center.
-
I had to talk to Maya
as soon as possible.

September 6,
Visitor's Room

(Wow, they have poor Maya
locked up like a criminal.)
-Maya
Oh!
-Maya
It's you! The lawyer...
-Maya
G-good morning.
-
Good morning!
-
(She looks so tired...)
-Maya
Um...
-Maya
Are you going to
be my attorney?
-
Well, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about...
***It's up to you***************************
*
-
* (I'd better give it
* to her straight...)
*
* -
* It's up to you.
*
* -Maya
* Up... to me?
*
* -
* Yes. I don't think this is
* something I should decide.
*
* -
* 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*************************

* Yeah, of course I will!
* Cheer up!

*
* -
* 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

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

*
* -Maya
* ...Heh...
*
* -
* Huh?
*
* -
* M-Maya...?
*
* -
* Was that a... chuckle?
*
* -Maya
* What?
*
* -Maya
* N-no!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* It wasn't very
* believable, was it?
*
* -
* (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!

* (Who's trying to
* cheer up who here!?)

* I knew it.
*
* -Maya
* No one will believe me.
*

* Even you--when you found me
* in the office. You looked at
* me like I had done it!
*
********************************************
-
(Did I look at her
like that?)
-
No, no! I never thought...
-Maya
I-it's okay.
I understand.
-Maya
...
-Maya
And.. I've also heard
about you.
-
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!
-
...
-Maya
I-I'm sorry!
-Maya
I didn't mean to
trouble you...
-
No, it's okay.
It's true, I guess.
-
But... at the same time,
I can't just sit and watch!
-
When I think of the person
who did this to Mia...
-Maya
...
-Maya
I know...

* *
* * -
* * No, I don't.

***Present Maya's Memo**********************
-
I wanted to ask you
about your cell phone...

That detective took it

* What's with that outfit?
*
* -Maya
* Oh, this?
*
* -Maya
* This is what all acolytes
* wear. It's my uniform, you
* could say.
*
* -
* 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.
*
* -
* A s-spirit medium!?
* (I'm pretty sure that
* qualifies as strange.)

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

* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I remember!
*
* -Maya
* Do you want to hear it
* in her own voice?
*
* -
* H-her own voice!?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
*
* -Maya
* I'm pretty sure our
* conversation is on
* my cell phone.
*
* -
* You recorded it!
*
* -Maya
* Yeah! I forgot how to
* delete those things.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Your cell phone"*************
*
* -
* So, you say you have a
* conversation with your
* sister on your cell phone?
*
* -
* Let's hear it!
*
* -Maya
* Right!
*
* -Maya
* Oh!
*
* -Maya
* I just remembered: that
* detective took my cell phone.
*
* -Maya
* Sorry.
*
* -
* Oh, right.
* (Of course...)
*
* -
* 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?
*
* -
* Sure, thanks.
*
* Maya's Memo added
* to the Court Record.

***Talk about "The day of the crime" again**
*
* -
* Could you tell me about
* the day of the murder?
*
* -
* 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.
*
* -
* (That's "The Thinker" clock
* that Larry made.)
*
* -
* (It practically qualifies
* as a serial murderer by now.)
*
* -
* So then, when did you
* arrive at the office?
*
* -Maya
* It was right around
*
* -Maya
* The lights were off and...
* I could smell blood.
*
* -Maya
* Th-then I found her.
* My sister...
*
* -
* Thanks, Maya.
*
* -
* That's all I need
* to hear for now.

********************************************
***Talk about "Spirit mediums"**************
*
* -
* 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.
*
* -
* Wait a second, you said
* the "Fey Family"?
*
* -
* 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!
*
* -
* (I... I had no idea.)
*
* -
* Hmm...
*
* -
* Wait...!
*
* -Maya
* What?
*
* -
* So, you're a real, honest-
* to-goodness spirit medium?
* With E.S.P. and all that?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
* ...In training.
*
* -
* Well, can't you contact
* Mia's spirit, then?
*
* -
* 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...
*
* -
* (Hmm... I thought that
* would be too easy.)

AFTER:
1) Talking about everything
-Maya
...
-Maya
Um...!
-
Huh? Something the matter?
-Maya
Um... I was wondering,
could I ask you a favor?
-
...?
-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?
-
(Hmm...)
***Accept***********************************
*
* -
* Sure, why not?
* I'll go ask.
*
* -Maya
* Thank you so much!
*
* -Maya
* I have no one

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

* do yourself.
*
* -Maya
* ...You're right.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -
* 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!
*
* -
* They couldn't find him?
*
* -Maya
* I have no one left to ask!

*
* -Maya

* Y-you will?

* I'm just worried what will
* happen if I can't find him.

-Maya
They told me that if I don't

Right, I'll be back!

No trespassing!

Umm... Sorry, don't I

Wait, you're that Butz guy,

No, no,
(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?

(He WAS proven innocent...)

Umm... right.

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

* -Gumshoe
* Hmm?

*
* -Gumshoe
* Now don't you look

* -Gumshoe
* It's no use!
*
* -Gumshoe
* She might have been your

*
* -Gumshoe
* Alright, alright.
* You can see the report,

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

* So, Mia's death was

* That's right, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* She was... a beautiful person.
*
* -
* You knew her, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sure. All of us down at
* the precinct knew Ms. Fey.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Much as it pains me to say

* lawyer.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, what are you looking at?
* I just got a little dust
* in my eye, that's all.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Maya"************************
*
* -
* Um, about Maya...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah!
* I'm looking forward

*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry, pal, but this is
* one trial you aren't
* going to win!
*
* -
* W-why do you say that?
*
* -Gumshoe
* The city's put Prosecutor
* Edgeworth on the prosecution!
*
* -
* (Edgeworth...)
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm sure you know what

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

*
* -Gumshoe
* Wait... you do know him,
* don't you!?
*
* ***Of course I do!**************************
* *
* * -
* * I know him. He's a feared

* *
* * -
* * 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.
* *
* * -
* * (So, Edgeworth is on this
* * one...)
* *
* * -
* * (He hasn't lost a case since
* * he became prosecutor at the
* * incredibly young age of 20.)
* *
* * -
* * (Of course, there are rumors
* * of back-alley deals and
* * forged evidence...)
* *
* * -
* * (All I know for sure is that

* * -Gumshoe
* * Everyone says he's a genius.
* * Surprised you don't know him!
* *
* * -
* * (Of course I know him...
* * I was just playing dumb.)
* *
* * -
* * (He's a cold, heartless

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

* There was broken glass

*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm? Oh, that?

*
* -Gumshoe
* The glass shards were pieces

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

* There was a piece of

*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah. The one with the

*
* -
* Are you sure that Mia

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

Oh, wait.

No influencing the witness

The... witness?
-Gumshoe
Yeah, Miss April May.

I'm sorry 'bout this...

But I can't tell you

(Well, you just told me
her name, Miss May, huh?)
-
So you've sent her
home already, then?
-Gumshoe
Ahah! You're trying your

-Gumshoe
She's not to go outside her
room until the trial!

(So... she's still in the
hotel across the way.)

I guess I should no better
than to try to get a

* who, um, "ruined" your mother?
*
* -Maya
* About 15 years ago...
* there was an unusual
* murder case.
*
* -Maya
* It made quite a stir,
* everyone was talking
* about it, apparently.
*
* -Maya
* The police were running out
* of leads, and they were
* getting desperate...
*
* -
* Wait... they didn't use
* a spirit medium, did they?
*
* -Maya
* The police convinced my mother
* to try to contact the victim.
*
* -
* Wow...
* So, what happened?
*
* -Maya
* The case was solved...
* we thought.
*
* -
* You "thought"...?
*
* -Maya
* The man my mother helped
* the police capture was
* innocent.
*
* -
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* The police's consultation with
* a medium had all been carried
* out in secret, of course.
*
* -Maya
* But...
*
* -Maya
* A man found out about it
* and leaked it to the press.
*
* -Maya
* He told all the papers that
* my mother was a fraud, and the
* media jumped on it big time.
*
* -Maya
* She... my mother... became
* the laughing stock of the
* nation.
*
* -
* I see.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* White...
*
* -
* Excuse me? White?
*
* -Maya
* That was his name.
* My sister told me.
*
* -
* White? Hmm...

Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
-April
Well!
Hello there, handsome.
-
Umm... hi.
(Smooth, Wright, real smooth.)
-April
You're the lawyer, aren't you?
The detective told me...
-April
He said, "Don't say nothing
to that lawyer, pal!" Tee hee!
-
(Memo to self: thank
Detective Gumshoe for
making my job harder.)
-April
Gee! This is all like
something out of a movie!
-April
It's all so exciting
I can hardly contain
myself!
-April
Ooh! Let me go freshen up
so I can look the part of
the beautiful eyewitness!
-
(I pity the lawyer that
has to cross-examine
this one.)
***Examine painting*************************
*
* -
* Ah. A still-scene painting.
* Wait, should that be
* "still life"?
*
* -
* Whatever. One of those
* is hanging on the wall.
*
********************************************
***Examine table****************************
*
* -
* A bottle and two glasses

***Examine window***************************
*
* -
* The late summer sunlight
* streams through the window.
*
* -
* There's the Fey &
* Law Offices building,
* of course.
*
* -
* You can see the inside of
* the room pretty clearly
* from here.
*
* -
* I think it would be a little
* difficult to recognize a face
* from this distance, though.
*
********************************************
***Examine bed******************************
*
* -
* A simple bed.
*
* -
* It's been recently made.
* Nothing eye-catching here.
*
********************************************
***Examine flowers**************************
*
* -
* The flowers are fake,

*

* I know sunflowers and tulips,

*
********************************************
***Examine open drawer**********************
*

* Hey! H-h-hey!!!
*
* -April
* What are you doing!?
* No touching!
*
* -April
* Oooh. Bad boy!
*
* -April
* Y-you really shouldn't
* pry around in other

*
* -April
* You wouldn't want to

AFTER:
1) Examining the open drawer
***Examine open drawer again****************

***Talk about "What you witnessed"**********
*
* -
* Do you think you
* could tell me something?
*
* -
* I need you to describe what
* you observed at the time of
* the incident.
*
* -April
* Ooh. "Observe," "incident"!
* You sound just like a lawyer
* in the movies!
*
* -April
* I like a man with
* a big... vocabulary.
*
* -
* (Umm... *gulp*
* Better not encourage her.)
*
* -
* Er... you know that thing
* that occur... um... happened
* the other day? The bad thing?
*
* -
* What did you see
* when it happened?
*
* -
* I don't suppose you

* Pretty please?
*
* -April
* Let me see...
* Um, well...

* -
* N-n-no! Hey! I'm just
* doing my job here!
*
* -April
* Tee hee! You know, you're
* cute when you blush.
*
* -
* (Believe me, this is the
* first time in my life I've
* blushed this much...)
*
* -
* Umm... eh heh.
*
* -
* Right... can you just tell
* me what it is you do?
*
* -April
* Well...
*
* -April
* No! Tee hee!
* And you had your little
* hopes up, didn't you!
*
* -
* (Oh boy.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "This room"*******************
*
* -
* I see there are two

*
* -
* Is someone staying

*
* -April
* Oooh! What amazing
* powers of observation!
*
* -April
* You must be one of those
* famous detectives, like
* on television!
*
* -
* Oh, no, not me,
* I'm, er, just a lawyer!
*
* -April
* Say, Mr. Big Detective, why
* don't you go look for clues...
* in the garbage? Hmm?
*
* -April
* Miss May doesn't like
* nosey little lawyers...
* Hmph!
*
* -
* (Oh boy.)

********************************************
***Present anything*************************

(Hmm... seems like Mr.
Grossberg is out.)

(Well, maybe I should
just wait here for him
to come back.)
-???
*Ah-HHHHEM!*
-
(If that wasn't the most
over-the-top clearing of the
throat I've ever heard!)
-Grossberg
Ah hah! So, you're the
one they say has been
looking for me?
-
Uh... y-yes, that's me!
(He looks even... grander
than I imagined!)
-Grossberg
Hmm...? That badge
on your collar...?
-Grossberg
Ah, so you're a lawyer,
are you now?
-
Y-yes, well... yes.
-Grossberg
And what do you want?
-Grossberg
I'm not particularly busy
these days... Please, proceed!
-
(Not busy...? Then how come
no one could get in touch
with you?)
-Grossberg
Hmm? Something the matter?
-Grossberg
You came to see the
one-and-only Marvin
Grossberg, did you not?
-Grossberg
Well, here I am, boy!
What do you want?
Out with it!
-
Um... w-well, sir, actually
it's about Maya. Maya Fey.
-Grossberg
...!
-Grossberg
Ah... yes. Maya Fey.
Go on.
-
(Hmm?
Why the strange reaction?)
-Grossberg
A-cha-cha.
-Grossberg
I'm really quite
busy here, son.
-Grossberg
I can't go taking cases
on a day's notice!
No, it's quite impossible.
-
W-wait a second!
-
How did you know the
trial was tomorrow!?
-Grossberg
Urk? Ahem!
-Grossberg
A-anyway...
-Grossberg
I'm afraid it's entirely
impossible for me to represent
her. Sorry. End of discussion.
-
(What's going on!? He refused
me before I even got a chance
to ask him!)
-
(What do I tell Maya...?)
***Present anything*************************
*
* -Grossberg
* Very sorry, but I've
* got nothing to say

***Talk about "Your refusal"****************
*
* -
* How can you just refuse
* like that! Please, tell me
* why you won't take the case!
*
* -Grossberg
* Hmm? Eh, ahem! Well, you
* see it's just... I'm busy,
* you see!
*
* -
* But the client is
* Mia Fey's sister!
*
* -Grossberg
* Hmm... ahem.

* Mia trusted you... She knew

*
* -Grossberg
* Yes, yes, of course
* I know that.
*
* -Grossberg
* However!
*
* -Grossberg
* I'm sorry but, I must

*
* -
* Creep.
*
* -
* Fine.
*
* -
* I don't have time to argue
* with you anyway. I'll go
* look elsewhere.
*
* -Grossberg
* *grumble*... Think not.
*
* -
* Huh? Did you say something?
*
* -Grossberg
* I think not, I said.
*
* -
* Wh-what do you mean?
*
* -Grossberg
* I'm terribly, terribly sorry.
*
* -Grossberg
* But I'm afraid that no lawyer

* on this particular case.
*
* -Grossberg
* Terribly sorry, m'boy.
*
* -
* Why!?
*
* -Grossberg
* I...

* -Grossberg
* She... worked here.
* A long time ago.
*
* -Grossberg
* Quite the apprentice,
* that one.
*
* -Grossberg
* Learned my techniques
* in the blink of an eye!
*
* -Grossberg
* She left one day,
* quite suddenly...
*
* -Grossberg
* She had a mission, you see.
*
* -
* A "mission"?
*
* -Grossberg
* You could see it in her eyes.
*
* -Grossberg
* She followed it with
* a burning passion.
* Never looked back, that one.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "That painting"***************
*
* -
* That's... quite a painting.
*
* -Grossberg
* Ahah! You noticed!
*
* -Grossberg
* It's my pride and joy!
* Impressive, isn't it?
* Well? ISN'T IT?
*
* -Grossberg
* The color of the sky!
* The hue of the sea!
* The weave of the straw hat!
*
* -Grossberg
* It's worth at least three
* million. I have no intention
* of parting with it, of course.
*
* -Grossberg
* No, I won't sell it!
* Not even to you!
*
* -
* (I wasn't interested...)

Did you find the lawyer?

Um... well...
(What do I tell her?)

Well, see...
(Just be honest!)

I... I really don't think

He... didn't seem healthy.
He was all skin and bones!

What really happened?

You don't mean...
He refused to help?

Urp.

I've been abandoned, then.

Just a little longer now
before the state-appointed
lawyer comes, I guess...

I'll be using this bit of

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

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

* It was the day

***I forget*********************************
*

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

-Edgeworth
Your Honor, I submit this
report to the court.
-Judge
U-understood. The court
accepts the evidence.
Autopsy Report updated
in the Court Record.
-Edgeworth
Well, Your Honor?
-Edgeworth
The evidence strongly suggests
the victim was identifying
the killer.
-Judge
I suppose that's the
obvious conclusion, yes.
-Phoenix
(Darn! This isn't good!)
-Edgeworth
The prosecution would like
to call its next witness.
-Edgeworth
This poor, innocent girl saw
the murder with her own eyes!
-Judge
Let the witness Miss April
May take the stand.
-Phoenix
(Exactly what part of her
is "innocent"...?)

-Edgeworth
Witness, your name, please.
-April
April May!
At your service! *wink*
-Judge
Order! An introduction should
not require any reaction
from the crowd!

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
It was, like, 9:00
at night. I looked out
the window, y'know!
(2)
-April
And then, oooh! I saw a woman
with long hair being attacked!
(3)
-April
The one attacking her was
the mousey girl sitting
in the defendant's chair!
(4)
-April
Then the woman, like,
dodged to one side and
ran away!

-April
But that girl, she caught
up to her and... and...
She hit her!

Then the woman
with long hair...

She kinda... slumped.

Well, Your Honor?

I don't see a need to

W-wait, Your Honor!

Yes, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
What about my cross-
examination!?

I thought the witness's
testimony just now was
quite... firm. Didn't you?
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright... I understand
you were Ms. Mia Fey's
understudy, were you not?
-Edgeworth
You must know her
techniques well.

Her cowardly way of finding

good testimonies...

H-hey! How dare you!

Well, Mr. Wright?
Will you cross-examine

Huh? "Why"?

Oh, well, um... gee!

I sort of, y'know.

Huh? Well... y'know!

S-she had a girlish physique.
Women know these things.

Look... I-I just know, okay?

There was only one person at

And so did Detective Gumshoe!
-Phoenix
What do you say to that,
Miss May?
-April
Rowr!
What are you trying to say,
you mean lawyer!
-April
I-I saw what I saw.
-April
I... just didn't think all
the trifling little details
were necessary, darling.
-Judge
Miss May.
-Judge
The court would like to remind
you to please omit nothing
in your testimony.
-April
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I'll be a good girl.
I promise. *wink*
-Judge
Your testimony again,
if you would.
-Phoenix
(Damn, I almost had her!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
I did see everything!
I did!
(2)
-April
The victim--the woman--dodged
the first attack and ran off
to the right.
(3)
-April
Then the girl in the hippie
clothes ran after her...
(4)
-April
And she hit her with that
weapon! I saw it! I did!
(5)
-April
That... that clock! Um...
the kinda statue-y clock?
"The Thinker," I think?
-April
Well? Does the accuracy of
my report not startle you?
Tee hee!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
I... see.
-Judge
I only wish you had been se
detailed from the beginning.
-Judge
Please begin the
cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-April
I did see everything!
I did!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So, you saw me then, too?
-April
Of course!
-April
I'd remember that
spiky hair anywhere!
-Phoenix
(Spiky...?)
-Judge
The witness will refrain
from personal attacks on
the defense attorney.
-April
Aww, was I a bad girl?
I'm sowwy.
-Judge
Very well... continue.
(2)
-April
The victim--the woman--dodged
the first attack and ran off
to the right.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Is that "right" as in your
right, as you looked from
the hotel?
-April
Um... which hand do I
hold my knife in again...?
-April
Right! It was my right
hand! Right?
-Edgeworth
Satisfied, Mr. Wright?
Please continue.
(3)
-April
Then the girl in the hippie
clothes ran after her...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How convenient for you
to remember her "hippie"
clothes!
-April
That's what you--I mean,
that's what she was wearing!
-April
Oh, and her hair was all
done up like a bun!
-Phoenix
(*sigh*...)
-Judge
What happened then?
(4)
-April
And she hit her with that
weapon! I saw it! I did!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Where did this weapon
come from?
-April
She picked it up from the desk!
-Judge
I see. What sort
of weapon was it?
(5)
-April
That... that clock! Um...
the kinda statue-y clock?
"The Thinker," I think?
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A... clock?
-Phoenix
(Didn't this come up
in another testimony
recently...?)
-April
W-well? Don't look so sour,
Mr. Lawyer. You can't win
them all.
-Phoenix
(No... but I have a feeling
I'm on to something now!)
-Phoenix
Her previous testimony must
have been what Edgeworth
wanted her to say...)
-Phoenix
(So this was the testimony
in her own words...?)
-Phoenix
(Time to press and squeeze
the truth out of her!
Figuratively, of course.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Miss May.
-Phoenix
What you said just now
was quite... revealing.
-April
Revealing? Oooh, you'd
like that, wouldn't you.
Naughty Mr. Lawyer...
-Phoenix
You just said that this
statue of "The Thinker"
was a clock.
-Phoenix
But there's no way of
knowing that just by
looking at it!
-April
Urp!
-Phoenix
Another person in much the
same position as you recently
called this a "clock," too...
-Phoenix
And he was found
guilty... of murder!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Phoenix
Miss May. Can you explain
how you know this was a clock?
-April
Oooh... urp!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The witness saw the murder
with her own eyes! That's
all that's important here!
-Edgeworth
The defense is trying to
confuse the issue with
trivial concerns!
-Judge
Yes... yes, of course.
You will withdraw your
question, Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
But questions are all
I have, Your Honor!
-Phoenix
And as you may recall,
I've caught murderers with
these questions before!
-Phoenix
(Well, only once...)
-Judge
...
-Judge
...
-Judge
Objection sustained.
You may continue to question
the witness.
-Phoenix
(Whew, that was close.)
-Phoenix
(If he stopped me there,
the trial would be over!)
-April
Huh? What?
So... what happens now?
-Phoenix
What happens now is you
answer my question! How
did you know it was a clock?
-April
What...! Th-that's...
-April
...Because... I heard it?
-April
Yes! I heard
it say the time!
-Phoenix
So, you've been to the
law offices of Fey & Co.!
-April
N-n-no! Hey, I didn't say
that! Why would I go there!
-April
I heard from my hotel room.
Hee hee!
-Edgeworth
The law offices of Fey & Co.,
where the murder took place,
are very close to the hotel.
-Edgeworth
She could easily have
heard the clock!
-Judge
Hmm. Well, Mr. Wright?
Are you satisfied?
-Phoenix
No, Your Honor!
-Phoenix
(I can't give up now!)
-Phoenix
I'm not satisfied because...
***She couldn't have heard it***************
*
* -Phoenix
* You were at the hotel!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's no way you could have

* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* You have proof that

*
* -Phoenix
* Uh...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Amateurs, amateurs.
* Listen to me, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In the courtroom, proof is
* everything. Without it, you
* have nothing. You ARE nothing.
*
* -Phoenix
* Then I would like to propose

*
* -Edgeworth
* The prosecution denies

*
* -Phoenix
* Wh-what!? On what grounds?
*
* -Edgeworth
* This is a trivial matter
* with no direct bearing
* on the case at hand!
*
* -Judge
* Indeed.
* Objection sustained.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Damn! Time to switch

-Judge
This clock is missing

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

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Take a look at this!
-Judge
Hmm. That's a very
cute cell phone.
-April
Oooh hoo!
You have a girlie phone!
-Phoenix
W-wait! Wait! This
isn't my phone!
-Phoenix
Listen!
-Phoenix
This is the defendant's
cell phone, and it contains
a recording...
-Phoenix
A recording of a conversation
she had with the victim on
the day of the murder!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Edgeworth
The defendant's cell phone!?
Th-this wasn't brought
to my attention!
-Phoenix
Perhaps Detective Gumshoe
overlooked it?
-Edgeworth
*grumble* (The good detective
better remember he's up for
evaluation soon...)
-Phoenix
(My heart goes out
to you, Edgeworth. Not.)
-Phoenix
Let's hear the conversation.
-Cellular
*beep*
...
-Maya
[So you just want me to
hold on to "The Thinker"
for you, then?]
-Mia
[If you could.]
-Mia
[Ah... I should probably tell
you, the clock isn't talking
right now.]
-Maya
[Huh? It's not working?
That's lame!]
-Mia
[I had to take the
clockwork out, sorry.]
...
[September 5, 9:27 AM]
-Cellular
*beep*
-Phoenix
Your Honor,
-Phoenix
I think this recording
makes it clear that the
clockwork was already gone...
-Phoenix
and this was recorded in the
morning, before the witness
even arrived at her hotel!
-April
Muh... muh... muh!?
-Phoenix
Well, Miss May?
Would you care to explain
this to the court?
-Phoenix
Just how did you know
that weapon was a clock!?
-April
...
-April
W-well...!
-April
Well, isn't it o-obvious?
-April
I saw that clock before!
-April
Um... what store was that
again? I-I go to so many!
-April
Oops! I forgot!
*wink*
-Judge
So the witness had seen
it before. That would
make sense.

Does the defense have any
objections, Mr. Wright?

The witness claims she
had "seen it before."

But this directly contradicts

Well then, let's see it.

Please produce this evidence
that will prove the witness
had not seen the clock before.

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
It's simple.
-Phoenix
This clock was never
in any store, ever!
-April
W-whaaat!?
-Phoenix
A friend of mine
made that clock.
-Phoenix
Only two exist in the world.
-Phoenix
And the one that isn't
here is in police custody!
-April
I-impossible!
Everything is sold in stores!
-Phoenix
Miss May, I think it's high
time you went shopping for
a better excuse...?
-April
Mmpf...
-Phoenix
Oh? Excuses not on sale today?
-April
Oooh? Oh ho ho. Mmmrrrrrph!
-April
Ooooorrrrrrr
ggggghhhhhhh... hhh!!!
-April
What's it to you,
porcupine-head!?
-April
That stupid clock
doesn't matter, okay!?
-April
She did it! And she should
die for it! Die!
-Judge
W-w-whoa! Let's not get
ahead of ourselves.
-Judge
T-this is a court of law,
and the witness will
remain calm!

Hrrrgh... hrrrh...
Hrrr... heh. Oh?

Oh! Oh? Oh hoh ho!
S-silly me!

-April
Did I, um, like... lose it?
-April
I guess I did. Tee hee! *wink*

(S-scary...)
-Judge
Miss May, let me ask.
-Judge
Tell me, how did you know
the weapon was a clock?
-April
...
-Judge
Hmm... oh dear.
-Judge
Does the defense have an
opinion on this... behavior?
-Phoenix
(Okay, this is it!)
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
Allow me to explain how
I see the truth of the matter.
-Phoenix
Miss April May, you knew the
weapon was a clock because...
***You held it******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (This is familiar territory.
* I'll just use the same
* approach as with Larry.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May held that very
* clock in her hands!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* When was this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* When she used it to strike
* the victim! When else?
*
* -Judge
* Order! Order!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! What is
* the meaning of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* April May, you killed
* Mia Fey, I say!
*
* -Phoenix
* And when you struck, the
* force of the impact
* made "The Thinker" ring!
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when you heard it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk tsk.
*
* -Edgeworth
* You truly are a work
* of art, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what's that supposed
* to mean!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was you who just proved
* that "The Thinker" was
* empty!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh...
* (Urk! Of course it
* wouldn't ring!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* What's more, the witness
* has a rock-solid alibi.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Miss May?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Perhaps you could explain
* to the poor, misguided
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Edgeworth
* You were in the hotel
* at the time of the murder.
*
* -Phoenix
* (S-she can't prove it!
* She did it!)
*
* -April
* It would be MY pleasure!
*
* -Phoenix
* N-no way!
*
* -April
* Yes way, Mr. Lawyer.
*
* -April
* Tee hee? Didn't the murder
* take place at 9:00 at night?
*
* -April
* Gee, that's the exact time
* I ordered some room service
* from the hotel bellboy!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Incidentally, the bellboy
* corroborates the witness's
* story.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ergo, she was not at the
* crime scene! Rock solid!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! You've just made
* a serious accusation to a

This is irrelevant!

I'm not entirely sure that

This is outrageous! Does the
defense truly claim that the
witness was tapping her phone?
-Phoenix
Absolutely!
-Edgeworth
Even if that was the case,
(which it's not) you still
have to prove one thing!
-Edgeworth
Did the victim ever say that
the weapon was a clock on
the phone?
-Edgeworth
Can you prove that?
I THINK NOT!
-Phoenix
Oh yeah? I THINK I CAN!
It's simple!

WHAAAAT!?

Here's my proof.

The proof that the victim
said, on the phone, that the
weapon was a clock is...

* -April
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Answer the question!
*
* -April
* Do I have to?
*
* -April
* Isn't this a murder trial?
* Isn't tippity-tapping er...
* irrelevant?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Gah! She's saying exactly
* what Edgeworth wants her
* to say.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May.
*
* -Phoenix
* You were tapping the
* victim's phone!
*
* -Phoenix
* I hardly call that
* "irrelevant"!
*
* -Judge
* While this court does not
* condone the defense's tone
* of speech, he has a point.
*
* -Judge
* Well, Miss May?
* Do you have an explanation
* for the court?
*
* -Judge
* Can you prove you had nothing
* to do with this murder, even
* though you tapped her phone?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hah! I'd like to see her
* pull THAT off!)
*
* -April
* Mr. Lawyer, I saw that
* evil, evil grin!
*
* -April
* You were probably thinking
* "I'd like to see her pull
* THAT off," weren't you!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Damn... she's good!)
*
* -April
* Well you're not the first man
* who's thought that! And of
* course... I can, and will!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
You can't be serious!
No way!
-April
Way, I say! Way!
Oh, and I assure you
I'm serious, Mr. Lawyer!
-April
Hmph!
-April
Okay? So, the killing happened
around 9:00 at night?
-April
Why, that's just when I was
getting room service from
that sweet bellboy...
-Phoenix
R-room service!?
-April
Ice coffee, I believe it was?
-April
Ice coffee? You know?
Like normal coffee, but COLD.
-April
If you don't drink it quick,
the ice melts and then you
have... regular cold coffee.
-Phoenix
I-ice coffee...!?
-April
Think I'm making this up?
Ask the bellboy! *wink*
-Edgeworth
Ergo, the witness was not
on the scene at the time
of the murder!
-Phoenix
!
-Judge
So, where does
that leave us...?
-Edgeworth
It is my great displeasure
to inform you...
-Edgeworth
That the witness appears to
have been tapping the victim's
telephone.
-Edgeworth
However! That is a separate
crime, with no bearing on
the current case whatsoever!
-Edgeworth
Her testimony stands! She saw
the defendant, Maya Fey,
commit murder!
-Phoenix
(No! They're going to
let her just walk away!)
-Phoenix
(There's no way I can win
this unless I tie Miss May
to the murder somehow...)
-Judge
Well, does the defense
have anything to say?
-Phoenix
Um, well...
(Come on, think of something!)
***Call the bellboy as a witness************
*
* -Phoenix
* The defense would like to
* call the hotel bellboy as
* a witness!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's something suspicious
* there, and I'm going to get
* to the bottom of it!
*
* -April
* I think you've sunken
* quite low enough already.
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* I object to calling
* the bellboy!
*
* -Phoenix
* W-why?
* What's your reason?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Because I hold that the
* wiretapping had nothing to
* do with the killing!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Edgeworth
* However...
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you agree to one condition,
* I'll consent to calling this
* witness.
*
* -Phoenix
* Condition...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* If Miss April May's alibi is
* not called into question after
* you examine the bellboy...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Then you will recognize that
* Miss April May was not the
* killer, thus she is innocent!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Therefore you must accept
* the verdict of "guilty"
* for Ms. Maya Fey!
*
* -Edgeworth
* That is my condition.
*
* -Phoenix
* (What...!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better find something
* suspicious in that bellboy's
* testimony...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Otherwise Maya will be
* declared "guilty" on the
* spot!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (What should I do...?)
*
* ***Accept the condition*********************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Alright! I've got nothing
* * to lose! Except for...
* * well, everything!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Understood.
* * I accept your condition.
* *
* * -Edgeworth
* * Hmph.
* *
* * -Edgeworth
* * Fool...
* * You fell right into my trap!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Uh oh!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Uh... um, wait...
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***Give up**********************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Grr! I can't accept
* * those conditions!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Very well. The defense
* * will refrain from calling
* * the bellboy as a witness.
* *
* * -Judge
* * I see. You may continue your
* * cross-examination, Mr. Wright.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Right. On with the
* * cross-examination.
* *
* * JUMP TO "Continue examining Miss May"
* *
* ********************************************
*
********************************************
***Continue examining Miss May**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. On with the
* cross-examination.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What exactly do you
* have left to examine,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Miss April May has admitted
* to the wiretap, yes.
*
* -Edgeworth
* But that bears no relevance
* to the case at hand: murder!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There's no way you can
* prove any connection!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Uh oh! Think! This can't
* be the end... but I'm out
* of evidence!)
*
* -Judge
* Then I believe the cross-
* examination is over.
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Edgeworth,
* does the prosecution have
* any other witnesses to call?
*
* -Edgeworth
* None, Your Honor.
* She's the last.
*
* -Phoenix
* (What!? B-but that means...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maya's guilty...!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait! Your Honor!
*
* -Judge
* Yes, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* The defense would like to
* call the bellboy after all!
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk tsk tsk...
*
* -Edgeworth
* As I thought!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* May I remind you, dear
* Mr. Wright. Should you
* question the bellboy...
*
* -Edgeworth
* and Miss April May's
* alibi prove to be solid...
*
* -Edgeworth
* then, by default, your client
* Ms. Maya Fey will be
* pronounced "guilty"!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Are you prepared to
* accept my condition?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Edgeworth...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (He's got me backed
* into a corner...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But I don't see any
* other way to take this!)
*
* -Phoenix
* I accept!

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

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

Your Honor, I must object.

This charade of justice

Now, now, Mr. Edgeworth.

Alright Mr. Wright.
I'll give you one more

(Okay.)

***Check-in*********************************

*

* Tell me about when you

*

* Oh, alright.
* Very well, sir.
*
* -Bellboy
* My first thought was

*
* -Bellboy

* Excuse me... what exactly

(Nice try!)

That's the sort of thing

Ah, yes, quite.
Indeed...
-Bellboy
It was the, er, good
barrister there,
Mr. Edgeworth, who...
-Phoenix
!
-Bellboy
He asked me not to mention
it if I wasn't specifically
asked, sir.
-Edgeworth
Oof!
-Edgeworth
Y-you fool!

-Phoenix
Miss April May checked into
a twin room... with a man.
-Phoenix
Correct?
-Bellboy
Yes, sir.
-Phoenix
Then, when you brought
them room service,
-Phoenix
you didn't see that
man in the room...?
-Bellboy
That's right, sir.
-Judge
Hmm...
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
We have just learned of
another person involved who
may have been the murderer!
-Phoenix
In this new light, I hold
that it's impossible to judge

Simple, it was...

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

That is all today for the
trial of Maya Fey.

Court is adjourned!

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

Ah, welcome, sir!

Quite the performance today,

-Phoenix
Oh, um, thanks.
-Phoenix
Sorry for putting you
on the spot like that.
-Bellboy
No, no, not at all, sir!
-Bellboy
Your efforts today can only
help the Gatewater's "rep,"
as they say.
-Phoenix
Huh? "Rep"?
-Bellboy
Yes! Our reputation will
swell as the hotel where the
murderer used a wiretap!
-Bellboy
We can charge a premium for
the room, of course. It will
be great for business, sir!
-Phoenix
Whoa, whoa! Miss May hasn't
been charged with murder.
-Bellboy
I, too, will become famous!
-Bellboy
"The Bellboy who brought the
murderer ice coffee"...!

So! You are our honored guest.

* He and I are of the same ilk.

* -Phoenix
* The other day I'm sure there
* was a big, pretentious-looking
* painting on that wall...
*
* -Grossberg
* "Pretentious-looking"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well... you know
* the one I mean.
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, where did it go?
*
* -Grossberg
* Ah, yes, well...
*
* -Grossberg
* I... got rid of it. Got quite
* tired of the thing, really.
*
* -Grossberg
* I, er, sold it, you see.
* Yes, that's right.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Sold it!?
* I'm not sure I buy that...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Wasn't that painting rather
* important to you, sir?
*
* -Phoenix
* Did something happen?
*
* -Grossberg
* I don't see how it's
* any of your business!
*
* -Grossberg
* Please, speak no more
* of that accursed painting.
*
* -Grossberg
* I didn't...
* I...
*
* -Grossberg
* *mumble* *mumble*

***Present Photograph***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Excuse me, I was wondering
* about this photograph...
*
* ***If you "pushed April hard"***************
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Where did you get that!?
* * Give it back at once!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I'm sorry to have taken
* * it without your knowledge.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * But... I have to know.
* * Who is this man?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * He was most likely in
* * April May's room the
* * night of the murder.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * !
* * What's that you say!?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * A-are you QUITE sure?
* * My boy?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (What has him so flustered
* * I wonder...?)
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * I... I beg your pardon, but
* * I must ask you to leave.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * I need to be alone.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (...!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (He's fallen silent
* * as a stone. A rather
* * large stone.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I guess I should
* * return that photo.)
* *
* * Returned photograph to
* * Mr. Grossberg.
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***If you "eased April's fears"*************
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * ...!
* * Where did you get that!?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I borrowed it.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Well, give it back at once!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Mr. Grossberg.
* * Tell me about the man
* * in this photo.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * He may have been in that hotel
* * room with April May on the
* * night of the murder.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Do you know something
* * about him... anything?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * ...!
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Hmm. Ahem!
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Very well.
* * I'll tell you what I know.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * However...
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * You didn't hear it
* * from me, if you follow.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I follow.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * That man is Mr. Redd White.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * He's the President of Bluecorp.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Redd White... Hmm.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Bluecorp... they're something
* * like a detective agency, right?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * They're information pros.
* * They sell information, you see.
* * Sensitive information.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Despite his name, Mr. White
* * has the blackest reputation
* * of any man in this country.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Should you run across him,
* * watch what you say.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * You wouldn't want him digging
* * up any dirt on you.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Hmm... selling information.
* * Sounds like blackmail.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Can you tell me where
* * Bluecorp is located?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Hmm...
* * I suppose.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Mr. Redd White, at last!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Finally, a lead on this guy!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Even if April May couldn't
* * have done it, he could have!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Time to take action!)
* *
* * Returned photograph to
* * Mr. Grossberg.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Now, I must ask you to leave.

MOVE TO: Bluecorp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 7
Bluecorp Inc.
CEO's Office
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
(What's with the surreal
décor...?)
-???
Welcome! Please furnish
me with the title of your
personage!
-Phoenix
(What the...?)
-White
Your name!
What's your name?
-White
I was just inquirably asking
the title that you go by.
-Phoenix
Uh... Wright. Phoenix Wright.
("Inquirably"...?)
-White
Mr. Wright, is it?
Right, I see...
-White
Splendiferous.
-White
Perhaps I have intimidated
you with my giantesque
vocabulary...?
-Phoenix
(What is this guy's problem!)
-White
I'm Redd White, CEO of
Bluecorp. You know,
Corporate Expansion Official?
-White
My business dealings
bring me into contact with
the elite of the elite.
White
So I'm afraid I am not
used to conversing with the
wordily-challenged.
-Phoenix
(What a fruitcake!)
-White
Hmmm, let me guess...
-White
You are an attorney fresh out
of law school, are you not?
-White
That's the only explanation
for why you would come to
meet me like this!
-Phoenix
(What does he mean by that?)
-White
No matter.
-White
So, what business does a
"mighty" lawyer have with
a man such as myself?
-Phoenix
(Yipes! This guy's arrogance
meter is off the scale!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine window***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the top floor
* of a 20-story building.
*
* -Phoenix
* The view is quite...
* presidential.
*
********************************************
***Examine painting*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* ...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Haven't I seen this
* somewhere...?
* Is this a replica?
*
* -White
* Ridiculosity! I have no
* interest in anything but
* originals.
*
* -White
* That right there is a bona
* fide original! Worth five
* million, for sure.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmmm...
*
********************************************
***Examine desk*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm guessing this is
* supposed to be a desk?
*
* -Phoenix
* My my...
* This is quite the... thing.
*
* END IF TOLD TO LEAVE
*
* -White
* It is modeled on my body, see?
*
* -White
* Well? Does its sleek
* roundature not... inspire you?
*
********************************************
***Examine trophies*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* An impressive line-up
* of trophies.
*
* -Phoenix
* "Judges Special Runner-up"
* "Best Participation"
*
* -Phoenix
* "Judges Cooperation Award"
* "Special Good Try Prize"
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm. The words "Judges" and
* "Special" kind of stand out.
*
* CONTINUE IF TOLD TO LEAVE

* -Phoenix
* He probably strong-armed
* them into giving him
* something.
*
********************************************
***Examine statue***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A statue of a man holding
* up the world.
*
* -Phoenix
* The "Bluecorp" sign certainly
* stands out enough...
*
* -Phoenix
* The model for the man is,
* of course, Mr. White.
*
* END IF TOLD TO LEAVE
*
* -White
* Truly a work of art! But,
* probably to beautacious for

*
* -Phoenix
* (I think it's a little too
* "beautacious" for just about

***Present Wiretap**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* About this wiretap...
*
* -White
* Ah, the one that Miss May
* used, right?
*
* -White
* Bad girl. Bad, bad girl.
*
* -Phoenix
* She testified that she placed
* the wiretap at your request.
*
* -White
* How pathetic. I guess she's
* trying to pass the buck.
*
* -White
* Bad, bad girl.
*
* -White
* Sorry I can't help you.
* I know nothing.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'm going to need hard

* out of this guy...)
*
********************************************
***Present other****************************
*
* -White
* I am terribly sorry.
*
* -White
* But that really doesn't seem
* to concern me at all.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Miss May"********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May is an employee of
* Bluecorp, is she not?
*
* -White
* Correct.
* She was my secretariat.
*
* -White
* What a shock it was to
* hear what she has done!
*
* -Phoenix
* "What she has done"...
* You mean the wiretap?
*
* -White
* Indeed! She is paid to
* answer phones. Tapping them
* is NOT in her job description.
*
* -White
* She does gather information
* for us as part of her duties.
*
* -White
* But, I assure you, we do
* not condone illegal methods!
*
* -White
* It is ineffable that
* she would do this.
*
* -Phoenix
* (It sounds like he's
* trying to turn Miss May
* into a scapegoat...)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Night of the murder"*********
*
* -Phoenix
* On the night of the murder
* were you in April May's
* hotel room?
*
* -White
* Who can say? I seldom pay
* attention to mundane details
* such as time and place.
*
* -White
* My motto is:
* "Don't worry, be happy!"
*
* -Phoenix
* Still, Mr. White...
*
* -Phoenix
* The hotel bellboy has stated
* on the record that he does
* remember you very clearly.
*
* -White
* ...
*
* -White
* No matter! The bellboy
* can say what he pleases.
* I still won't talk to you.
*
* -White
* If you want me to speak,
* put me on the witness stand!
*
* -White
* Although I doubt you'd be
* capable of doing that.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm. He raises a good
* question, actually...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Why didn't prosecution
* call him as a witness?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (He should have "seen" the
* same thing as April May!)
*
* -White
* Oh hoh hoh.
*
* -White
* The police... the courts...
*
* -White
* To me they are mere toys.
* Playthings for my amusement!
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Bluecorp"********************
*
* -Phoenix
* What kind of company
* is Bluecorp, anyway?
*
* -White
* Ah, excellent question!
*
* -White
* We buy and sell various
* kinds of information.
*
* -White
* We are the company of the
* future! You might say,
* we ARE the future!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Sell... information?)
*
* -White
* In just 10 years, I've built
* this business up into the
* grand office you see now.
*
* -White
* Ah, in case you were
* wondering, Bluecorp was
* named after the color "blue"!
*
* -White
* I, Redd White of Bluecorp,
* as founder and CEO, named
* it so!
*
* -White
* And why, you ask? Because I
* like the color blue of course!
*
* -White
* Fantabulistic, is it not?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "That painting"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh... there's something
* that's been bothering me.
*
* -White
* Yes? What might that be?
*
* -Phoenix
* That big painting on
* the wall over there...
*
* ***It's gorgeous****************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * It's a very striking
* * piece of art.
* *
* * -White
* * Magnificentatious, isn't it!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Yeah.

* * Oh?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Just yesterday, actually.
* *
* * -White
* * Your point being...?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * My point is simple.
* * Er, rather, my question

* * Hmm... no idea!
* * I forgot!

* It appears you do not fully

*
* -White
* I ask again. Who are you?
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... huh? A lawyer?
*
* -White
* No, my feeble friend.
* A "mere" lawyer.
*
* -White
* Worth nothing.
* Zilch. Zippo. Nada!
*
* -White
* Just like that sorry excuse

* Ungh! Oof...!

* Unh... uhhh...

* Well, Mr. Lawyer.
* What will you do, eh?
* Charge me with assault?
*
* -White
* Charge away, I welcome it!
* For it is YOU who will
* be found guilty!
*
* -Phoenix
* What...?
*
* -White
* Heed my exposition!
* The police, the courts,
* they all do my bidding.
*
* -Phoenix
* (So you say...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But I wonder... Is that kind
* of control really possible?)
*
* -White
* I don't expect you to

* beyond your compensation.
*
* -White
* ...
*
* -White
* You came here from
* Grodyburger's, I presume?
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Grossberg's... yes.
*
* -White
* Then you must ask him:
* Why is it that this painting
* of his hangs here?
*
* -White
* Perhaps then he will
* tell you?
*
* -White
* Perhaps he will explain
* how a man can live life
* purely for personal profit!
*
* -White

* -White
* Go now! Skedaddle!
* There is nothing more
* to discuss!

* Shut up and get out!
*
* -White
* I have nothing

***Examine painting again*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* This painting was, until

Aaa-HHHEM!

Jumping Jehosephats!

Oh! You!

***Talk about "The DL6 Incident"************
*

* What is the "DL-6 Incident"?
*
* -Grossberg
* "DL-6" is nothing more than
* the sorting code the police

*
* -Grossberg
* It was 15 years ago now...
*
* -Grossberg
* I received a request from
* a medium. A spirit medium.
*
* -Phoenix
* (A medium...?)
*
* -Grossberg
* Her name was Misty Fey.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Fey!)
*
* -Grossberg
* Indeed.
* She was Mia's mother.
*
* -Grossberg
* She had been investigating
* a murder at the bequest of
* the police.
*
* -Grossberg
* And... she failed.
*
* -Grossberg
* As a result, the police
* called her a fraud.
*
* -Phoenix
* (This is what Maya was
* talking about the other day!)
*
* -Grossberg
* I did all I could for her,
* and in the end, cleared her
* of wrongdoing.
*
* -Grossberg
* That murder case, however
* remains unsolved to this day.
*
* -Grossberg
* That case, is the
* DL-6 Incident.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for blackmail"********
*
* -Phoenix
* But why were you blackmailed
* over this, Mr. Grossberg?
*
* -Grossberg
* The DL-6 Incident was top-
* secret at the time.
*
* -Grossberg
* It made sense. The police
* didn't want people to know
* they were using a medium!
*
* -Grossberg
* They couldn't let
* people know.
*
* -Grossberg
* But one person found out.
*
* -Grossberg
* I... I told him.
*
* -Phoenix
* You told White?
*
* -Grossberg
* He offered me riches...
* It is an embarrassment
* to me now.
*
* -Grossberg
* Because I talked, the police
* were mocked far and wide.
*
* -Grossberg
* In secret, they began looking
* for the one who sold them out.
*
* -Grossberg
* Of course White heard about
* it, and he came to me.
*
* -Grossberg
* Only this time, the offer
* was blackmail.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* I see.
*
* -Grossberg
* ...
*
* -Grossberg
* White controls the law of
* this country as he sees fit.
*
* -Grossberg
* Yet if you would still
* challenge him...
*
* -Grossberg
* Have a close look at
* Mia's office.
*
* -Phoenix
* Mia's office...?
*
* -Grossberg
* She followed his every
* move for years.

* * One moment please...]

* *
* * -Interphone
* * [White? That you? What are
* * you doing calling me at
* * a time like this!?]
* *
* * -White
* * Hello. Chief Prosecutor?
* *
* * -White
* * I've changed my mind.
* * I want to testify tomorrow.
* *
* * -Interphone
* * [What's this about?]
* *
* * -White
* * The Mia Fey case.
* * I witnessed the murder,
* * you see.
* *
* * -White
* * And, thus, as a very
* * important witness, I would
* * like to testify.
* *
* * -Interphone
* * [What? Why now?
* * I thought you said you
* * didn't want to go to court?]
* *
* * -White
* * Quietude...!
* * I told you I changed my
* * mind, didn't I?
* *
* * -White
* * Oh, and one other thing.
* *
* * -White
* * Send the police over
* * here right away.
* *
* * -White
* * The man is standing right
* * in front of me. He looks dazed
* * but could be violent!
* *
* * -Interphone
* * [What? What man?]
* *
* * -White
* * Are you even listening?
* *
* * -White
* * The executioner! The hatchet-
* * man! The liquidator...
* * The killer, man!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * What!?
* *
* * -Interphone
* * [Mr. White... this isn't
* * another one of those...]
* *
* * -White
* * Chief Prosecutor.
* *
* * -White
* * I do not believe you are in
* * a position to freely offer
* * your opinions to me, correct?
* *
* * -White
* * I'm telling you to send
* * the police, now!
* *
* * -Interphone
* * *beep*
* *
* * -White
* * ...
* *
* * -White
* * Did I not tell you,
* * Mr. Wrong?
* *
* * -White
* * You are a mere lawyer!
* *
* * -White
* * As was Miss Mia.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * How dare you!
* *
* * -White
* * I'll point the finger at you,
* * and you will be tried as
* * Miss Mia's killer!
* *
* * -White
* * The case is as good as
* * settled. No lawyer of any
* * worth will defend you.
* *
* * -White
* * I have friends in the local
* * lawyer's association, you see.
* *
* * -White
* * You'll be given a lawyer so
* * stupendously inept that they
* * make even you look competent.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I... I feel faint.)
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Detective Gumshoe,
* * reporting, sir!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Aaa! Butz! Hairy Butz!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Wright, actually. Phoenix
* * Wright. And my friend's
* * name is "Larry"...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Oh, right! Sorry, pal.
* * Butz was that murderer, right?
* *
* * -White
* * Detective Gumshoe.
* *
* * -White
* * I present to you, the man
* * who killed Miss Mia Fey!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * W-what!?
* *
* * -White

September 8, 3:37 PM
Detention Center
Visitor's Room
-Phoenix
I can't believe it's only
been a day since the first
trial.
-Phoenix
My trial begins tomorrow.
-Phoenix
White's going to
set a trap for me.
-Phoenix
And the prosecution will
be in on it, of course.
Edgeworth, included.
-Phoenix
An attorney was assigned to
me by the state, yesterday.
-Phoenix
I refused.
I had an idea.
-Maya
...
-Maya
Wright!
-Maya
Mr. Wright!
-Phoenix
Oh, Maya!
-Phoenix
Great, they let you
out of detention.
-Maya
Just now, yes.
It's all thanks to you!
-Phoenix
Hah. Now I'm afraid we've
switched places.
-Maya
What? You mean, you...?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
I explained what had
happened to Maya.
-Phoenix
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
I don't believe it!
-Maya
How many people does that man
need to destroy before he's
satisfied!? My mother...
-Maya
My sister...
-Maya
And now you!
-Maya
This has gone too far!
Maya
Mr. Wright, please tell me,
is there anything I can do?
-Phoenix
Um... well...
***Defend me in court***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Alright, you can be my
* defense lawyer tomorrow!
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* Leave it to me! I am Mia's
* sister, after all! Lawyership
* runs in our blood!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wasn't it E.S.P. that
* ran in your blood...?)
*
* -Maya
* I'd better run to the
* bookstore and pick up a copy
* of "Law for Rookies."
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Cheer me on in court*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, you could cheer

*
* -Maya
* Cheer for you?
* You mean... like a
* cheerleader?
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? Um, yeah, like that.
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
* Leave it to me!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* I'd better go get a uniform
* and some pom-poms...!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Help me break out of here****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. Okay, listen up.
* I want you to help me break

*
* -Maya
* You mean... a jail break?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. Tonight's our
* only chance!
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* Oh, I'd better go get a

*
* -Maya
* Oh, oh! And a rope ladder,

* Can you drive?

-Phoenix
W-wait. Wait wait wait.
-Maya
What what what?
-Phoenix
I'm kidding! It was a joke!
-Maya
No way!
-Phoenix
No really, I was kidding.
But thanks. It's good to know
you're on my side.
-Phoenix
(And there really isn't
anything you can do
for me anyway...)
-Maya
But... but I can't just sit
here and do nothing!
-Maya
I've got to give that
man a piece of my mind!
-Phoenix
(Just a piece...?)
-Phoenix
Okay.
-Phoenix
Then, come to the
court tomorrow.
-Maya
O-okay! I'll be there!
-Maya
I'll show them
a thing or two!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
It's the beginning of a new
century, yet with crime it's
the same old story.
-
In fact, it's gotten worse.
Lengthy court proceedings
are no longer realistic.
-
Beginning a few years ago,
a limit of three days was put
on initial court trials.
-
Almost all finish in a day.
Most with a guilty verdict.
-
I never thought I would
end up in the defendant's
chair myself.
-
Tomorrow the true
culprit will appear
as a witness.
-
This is it!
It's me or him!

September 9,
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1
-Maya
Well... I guess
this is it!
-
Yeah.
-
One way or another, this
case gets decided today.
-Maya
Aaa!
Ph-Phoenix! Look!
-
(...!)
-
(Prosecutor... Edgeworth.)
-Edgeworth
I received a call from the
public prosecutor's office
yesterday.
-Phoenix
?
-Edgeworth
He told me that whatever
Mr. White says today, it will
be the "absolute truth."
-Edgeworth
No matter how you try to
attack his testimony...
-Edgeworth
If I raise an objection,
I have it on good faith that
the judge will listen to me.
-Phoenix
(What, does White have the
judge in his pocket, too!?)
-Phoenix
So... you're saying I'm going
to be guilty. End of story?
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
I will do anything to get my
verdict, Mr. Wright. Anything.
-Maya
Why...
Why!?
-Maya
How can you torment an
innocent person like this!?
-Edgeworth
"Innocent"...?
-Edgeworth
How can we know that?
-Edgeworth
The guilty will always lie,
to avoid being found out.
-Edgeworth
There's no way to tell
who is guilty and who
is innocent!
-Edgeworth
All that I can hope to do
is get every defendant
declared "guilty"!
-Edgeworth
So I make that my policy.
-Phoenix
Edgeworth...
-Phoenix
You've changed.
-Maya
Hmm?
-Maya
Phoenix!
You know him!?
-Edgeworth
Don't expect any special
treatment, Phoenix Wright.
-Maya
Ph-Phoenix...?
-Phoenix
Well... court will be opening
for session soon.
-Maya
What? But wait!
-Maya
Your defense attorney isn't
even here yet! He's not...
-Phoenix
I'll be defending myself.
-Maya
Whaaaat!?
-Phoenix
Okay, let's do this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 9, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1
-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Phoenix Wright.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Mr. Wright...
Are you sure you're
up to doing this?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
I will be defending myself.
-Judge
Understood.
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.
-Edgeworth
As the details of the event
are already quite clear to
the court,
-Edgeworth
today we will hear the
testimony of another witness
to the defendant's crime.
-Judge
I see.
-Judge
The prosecution may call
its witness.
-Phoenix
(That went far too smoothly!)
-Phoenix
(Why didn't the judge ask
Edgeworth why his witness
didn't testify before!?)
-Phoenix
(It's like... it's like
he already knows why!)
-Phoenix
(Hmm. If anyone's going to
raise an objection about
this, I suppose it's me...)
***Objection********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Edgeworth, you owe an
* explanation to the court!
*
* -Phoenix
* Why didn't this witness
* testify in the trial against
* Ms. Maya Fey!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hmph.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'm ever so sorry!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mr. White is a busy man,
* and besides...
*
* -Edgeworth
* at the time, I thought that
* Ms. May's opinion was all
* that would be needed.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Again, my sincerest
* apologies to the court.
*
* -Judge
* Excellent, Mr. Edgeworth.
* I appreciate your demeanor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Great. He gets to show
* off and I get nowhere.)
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Let it go********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Forget it.
* I smell a trap.)
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Edgeworth
I would like to call
Mr. Redd White to the stand!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Please state your full name.
-White
You wish to know the
title of my personage?
-Edgeworth
Er... your name?
-White
Yes! That is what I said!
-White
Oh dear, do my
locutions confuse?
-Edgeworth
Name!
-Phoenix
(These two are great
together...)
-White
My name is Redd White.
But my friends call me
Blanco Nino.
-White
I am the CEO, or to use a more
common term, the President,
of Bluecorp.
-Edgeworth
Did you know the victim,
Ms. Mia Fey?
-White
That would be a negatory!
No, I did not.
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
You were at the Gatewater
Hotel the night of the
murder?
-White
Correct.
-Edgeworth
And you witnessed the
murder from there?
-White
Ahem. Why tell you what
you already know?
-Judge
Very well, Mr. White. You
may begin your testimony.
-Phoenix
(If I can't rip this guy's
testimony apart, I'm
done for.)
-Phoenix
(Why do I always feel like
it's the end of the world and
I'm the last man standing?)
-White
Ho hoh hoh.
-White
I hope you have made your
peace with God, Mr. Lawyer!
-Phoenix
...!
-Maya
Let him have it, Phoenix!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-White
Let's see, it was about
9:00, I believe.
(2)
-White
I was quietly perusifying...
er, that's "reading" to you,
some papers by the window.
(3)
-White
Then I heard a bedlam
coming from outside!
(4)
-White
Surprised, I turned to
look at the building
across the way.
(5)
-White
It was then I saw him:
a spiky-haired man attacking
a woman with long hair!
(6)
-White
Needless to say that man was
none other than you,
Mr. Lawyer!
(7)
-White
I called Miss May over
at once. She, too, was
flabbergasted of course.
(8)
-White
The victim, she... she ran
away, but you gave chase!
(9)
-White
Finally there was a
terrible impaction!
Then it was all over...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
If things occurred as you
testify, then I'm afraid the
defendant is guilty.
-Judge
Very well, defendant... er,
I mean, Mr. Wright.
-Judge
Your cross-examination...
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-White
Let's see, it was about
9:00, I believe.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How do you know what time
it was?
-White
Because I am always
abso-posi-lutely perfect,
you know?
-Phoenix
No no no, you're not getting
away with that!
-White
You are so mistrusting,
Mr. Lawyer!
-White
So... what was the proper
term for "secretary" again...?
-White
Anyway, Miss May ordered
room service for 9:00.
-White
It happened soon after the
room service arrived.
-Phoenix
(Hmm. That's what Miss May
said, too.)
***Press further****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* True, the bellboy who brought
* the coffee saw Miss May.
*
* -Phoenix
* But he testified that he
* did not see you at the time!
*
* -White
* Ahem. This is your concern?
*
* -White
* Silly Lawyer! Miss May
* received the coffee outside
* the room!
*
* -White
* Of course he could not see me.
* He would need X-ray vision to
* pull off something like that!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tell us, what were you
* doing at the time?
*
********************************************
***Hold back********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I don't see anything to gain
* by attacking him on this
* point any further.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Okay, what were you
* doing at the time?
*
********************************************
(2)
-White
I was quietly perusifying...
er, that's "reading" to you,
some papers by the window.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
By window, you mean the one
directly across from the
Fey & Co. Law Office?
-White
Correct! That is the only
window, you see.
-Phoenix
And there you were
reading... papers?
-White
Correct!
-White
The Gatewater is a business-
man's hotel, and I am a busy
man who had business to do!
(3)
-White
Then I heard a bedlam
coming from outside!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
A "bedlam"?
-White
It must have been when
you attacked, I assume.
-Edgeworth
We see. Continue.
(4)
-White
Surprised, I turned to
look at the building
across the way.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you were reading your
papers until you heard
that sound?
-White
But of course. I am
no snoop, peeping out of
windows at night.
-Phoenix
(No snoop? Yeah, right!
You've made a career
out of snooping!)
(5)
-White
It was then I saw him:
a spiky-haired man attacking
a woman with long hair!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
S-spiky-haired!?
(6)
-White
Needless to say that man was
none other than you,
Mr. Lawyer!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What you just said directly
conflicts with Miss May's
testimony!
-Phoenix
Miss May clearly stated that
the assailant looked like
a "girl"!
-White
I've always been proud
of my eyesight, Mr. Lawyer.
-Phoenix
Just what is your eyesight?
-White
Counting both eyes... 40!
-Phoenix
40!? Don't add them together!
-Judge
I think the witness is trying
to say his eyesight is good.
-Phoenix
(Hey, whose side is the
judge on, anyway?)
-Edgeworth
And what did you do then?
(7)
-White
I called Miss May over
at once. She, too, was
flabbergasted of course.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What was Miss May doing
at that time?
-White
She had just finished
watching a soap opera on the
TV, and was weeping openly.
-Phoenix
Did you know she had been
tapping the Fey office phone?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Irrelevant! That has nothing
to do with the case at hand.
-White
I care not. I will answer the
lawyer's bold inquiry.
-White
Miss May was acting alone
when she tapped the phone
of this Fey woman.
-Phoenix
You'd make a good politician,
Mr. White.
-White
Ho hoh! After all, I am
"El Presidente."
-Judge
Please continue.
(8)
-White
The victim, she... she ran
away, but you gave chase!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Can you be a little more
detailed about that?
-Phoenix
I think it's worth knowing
exactly what happened.
-White
Of course! Comprende!
I understand!
-White
The victim was attacked,
by you, and ran to the left.
-White
You gave chase, and struck
her down!
-Edgeworth
Are you sure?
-White
As you know, I am always
abso-posi-lutely perfect!
-Judge
Perhaps you could change
your testimony to reflect
this new detail.
CHANGE TO 8b
(8b)
-White
The victim ran to the left,
and you gave chase!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Are you sure about that?
-White
How many times must I say it?
-White
I am abso-posi-lutely perfect!
End of story!
-Phoenix
(How many times must
I hear that?)
-Maya
Psst! Phoenix!
-Maya
Doesn't something about
that strike you as a
little odd?
(9)
-White
Finally there was a
terrible impaction!
Then it was all over...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Um... "impaction"?
Don't you mean just "impact"?
-White
Ridiculosity! I think you need
to brush up on your language
skills!
-Phoenix
(On second thought, perhaps
I'd better leave the whole
language thing alone...)
-Phoenix
(Did Edgeworth "prep" this guy,
too, I wonder?)
-Phoenix
(Anyway, I'd better find
a weakness in there...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Wait right there!
-Phoenix
Mr. White, you've
dug your own grave!
-White
What is this!?
-Phoenix
You said the victim ran
to the "left."
-Phoenix
But that directly contradicts
Miss May's testimony!
-Phoenix
She clearly stated that the
victim ran "right"!
-White
...!
-White
Oh hoh hoh. It is simple.
You have misheard her.
-Phoenix
I think not.
-Phoenix
Look at the floor plans...
-Phoenix
The killer was here.
-Phoenix
And the victim, here.
-Phoenix
If the victim ran to the
left, as you claim she did...
-Phoenix
She would have been running
directly away from the door!
-Phoenix
She would have been running
into a dead end!
-Phoenix
Don't you find that odd?
-White
!
-White
Very strange...
-White
I did see her run to the
left... I did.
-Maya
Phoenix... look at his face.
I don't think he's lying
about this one.
-Phoenix
True.
-Phoenix
(Maybe he really did see
the victim run left...?)
-Phoenix
(So he did witness the
killing...?)
-Phoenix
(Wait a second!)
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?
-Judge
Miss May says "right," and
Mr. White says "left."
-Judge
Can you explain this
contradiction to the court?
***Mr. White is right***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* As Mr. White testified,
* Mia ran to the left.
*
* -Judge
* But...
* But if that's the case...
*
* -Judge
* Why would she run in the
* opposite direction from
* the door?
*
* -Phoenix
* She did not. She was running
* towards the door, Your Honor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Bwah!
* Now you're the one making
* a contradiction, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Not at all.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Miss May is right************************
*
* -Phoenix
* As Miss May has stated, Mia
* ran to the right after she
* was attacked.
*
* -White
* What is this?
* I am not fashioning
* fabrications, I assure you!
*
* -White
* That lady ran to the left!
* I am sure of it!
*
* -Phoenix
* Then there can be
* only one explanation.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Eh...? And that is?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Both are right***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Both witnesses are
* telling the truth.
* (For once...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah! I doubt it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Er, rather, that does not
* clear up the contradiction!
*
* -Phoenix
* There is one scenario that
* would explain their
* conflicting accounts.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What!?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
Obviously, the witness was not
viewing the crime from the
hotel!
-Judge
Mr. Wright! What do you mean?
-Edgeworth
Yes, what do you mean,
he was not "viewing the crime
from the hotel"!?
-Edgeworth
If he was not in the hotel,
where could he have been!?
-Phoenix
In the law offices of
Fey & Co., of course!
-Phoenix
More specifically, he
was standing here!
-Phoenix
(Show the court where
Mr. White was standing!)
***Present location of victim***************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* That's where he was!
*
* -Edgeworth
* M-Mr. Wright!
* We are not fools!
*
* -Edgeworth
* How could he have been
* exactly where the victim
* was standing!?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Oh... oh, right!)
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* What is the meaning of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry, Your Honor! Sorry!
* Let me try that again...
*
* RETURN TO FLOOR PLANS

********************************************
***Present anywhere*************************

* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*

*
* -Judge
* Hold it right there,
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* If he was there during

*
* -Judge
* That would make him

* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Impossible!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There was no one other than

This is where he was!
-Phoenix
Look!
-Phoenix
When the victim ran for
the door...
-Phoenix
If he was watching from this
point, to him it would appear
that she ran to the "left."
-Edgeworth
Please! This is no time for
jokes in ill taste!
-Edgeworth
That is where the
killer was standing!
-Judge
Order! I will have order!
-Judge
Anyone disturbing the order
of this courtroom will be
held in contempt!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What are you suggesting!?
-White
R-r-rapscallion!!!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The postulations of the
defense are a distortion
of the truth, Your Honor!
-Judge
Indeed.
They do seem a bit
far-fetched...
-White
...
-White
Ho hoh hoh!
-White
You provide us with so
much entertainment,
Mr. Lawyer!
-Phoenix
(What now!?
He's... laughing!?)
-White
The hilarity of the moment
made me remember something...
-White
It appears I have been
unclear, and for this,
I apologize.
-White
Mr. Your Honor...
-White
Might I be allowed to
testify once more?
-Judge
Very well, let's hear
your revised testimony.
-Phoenix
(Good luck. You can't fix
a broken testimony, buddy!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- She Ran to the "Left" --
(1)
-White
Miss May's testimony was
correct... as was mine!
(2)
-White
When you assaulted the girl,
she first ran to the left.
(3)
-White
And then you hit her,
savagely! That is what I saw.
(4)
-White
Next, with the last
of her strength, she
ran to the right.
(5)
-White
You chased her, and delivered
the final blow.
(6)
-White
That is what Miss May saw.
(7)
-White
You see?
You hit her twice!
-White
Don't you remember,
Mr. Lawyer?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
That does seem to make sense.
-Judge
Will you be cross-examining
the witness's testimony?
-Phoenix
You bet I will!
I mean, yes, Your Honor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- She Ran to the "Left" --
(1)
-White
Miss May's testimony was
correct... as was mine!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What do you mean by that!
-White
That is what I am
about to explain!
-White
You Americans, always so
impatient! It does not
become you.
-Phoenix
(Hey buddy, you're an
American, too!)
(2)
-White
When you assaulted the girl,
she first ran to the left.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What do you mean "first"?
-White
"First"? That is what comes
before what happens "next."
You do speak English, right?
-White
Please, sit back, relax.
I will try to use simple
words for your benefit.
-White
First, she ran to the left,
and then...
(3)
-White
And then you hit her,
savagely! That is what I saw.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
I didn't hit anyone!
-White
Now, now, Mr. Wright.
There is no point hiding
things from this court.
-Phoenix
I'm not hiding anything!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The prosecution requests that
the defense refrain from
interrupting the testimony!
-Judge
Mr. Wright, you have
been warned.
-Phoenix
(Why's he mad at me!?)
(4)
-White
Next, with the last
of her strength, she
ran to the right.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What do you mean "next"!?
-White
"Next" is what comes
after "first."
-Phoenix
I know that!
-White
Then that is all you need
to know, Mr. Lawyer.
-White
As I said, she turned and
made a desperate dash to
the right.
(5)
-White
You chased her, and delivered
the final blow.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Stop saying it was me!
-White
But, it was you.
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright! If you claim
that it was NOT you, then
show us proof!
-Phoenix
(Argh! Can I do nothing
right? Nothing!?)
-White
May I continue?
(6)
-White
That is what Miss May saw.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So each of you saw
different parts...?
-White
Abso-posi-lutely!
That's right, of course!
-Phoenix
(Where did he pick up
that annoying phrase...?)
-White
Anyway, moving along!
(7)
-White
You see?
You hit her twice!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So were you watching
both times?
-White
I suppose I was.
-White
And please excuse me for not
testifying to this sooner!
-Maya
What do you think Phoenix?
-Phoenix
I think we've got him
right where we want him!
He slipped!
-Phoenix
Let him laugh for now.
I'll soon wipe that smile
off his face!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Mr. White!
-Phoenix
The victim died from
a "single" blow!
-White
...!
-Phoenix
What do you have
to say to that?
-White
Er... Erp!
-Phoenix
(Now's my chance to
hit him where it counts!)
-Phoenix
Mr. White. Wasn't it you who
told this court you were
"abso-posi-lutely perfect"?
-White
Mmph.
-White
I will refrain from using
this phrase from now on.
-Phoenix
Your Honor, if you could ask
the witness for a new
testimony...
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The witness is obviously
confused, Your Honor!
-Edgeworth
I would like to request
a 10 minute break!
-Judge
Yes... yes, quite.
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
The witness is confused
because he's lying!
-Phoenix
I emphatically request that
there be no break, Your Honor!
(Yeah! We want justice...!)
(Don't let him get away!)
-Judge
Very well.
-Judge
If the witness would care to
revise his testimony...
-Phoenix
(The crowd's on my side!
No slipping out of this
now, White!)
-Judge
Mr. White?
-White
O... okay...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Two Accounts --
(1)
-White
Umm, well, see--I looked at
the other window when I heard
that thing fall.
(2)
-White
Then, the next moment, I saw
Miss Mia run to the left!
(3)
-White
The killer, you, attacked
her... but she dodged.
-White
Umm... and then...
(4)
-White
She turned, and ran
for the door!
(5)
-White
Then you did her in with
a single blow! Thwap!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm. "Thwap" indeed.
-Judge
Very well, you may begin
the cross-examination.
-White
Mr. Your Honor...
-White
My stomach, you see,
it is hurting...
-Phoenix
Deal with it.
-Phoenix
This is almost over.
-White
...!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Two Accounts --
(1)
-White
Umm, well, see--I looked at
the other window when I heard
that thing fall.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You heard "that thing fall"?
What exactly was "that thing"?
-White
Huh? Oh... oh, that?
Umm... the glass light stand!
-Phoenix
(Right... the one that had
fallen over at the scene.)
-Maya
Phoenix!
-Maya
Doesn't something about
that strike you as odd?
***Yeah, very odd***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Yeah, that is odd.
* I'll press further.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. White
*
* -White
* Huh? W-what?
*
* -Phoenix
* You're saying you saw
* the glass light stand?
*
* -White
* Y-yes.
*
* -Phoenix
* Then change your testimony
* to reflect that!
*
* -White
* S-sorry.
* My bad...
*
* -Judge
* The witness will revise
* his testimony.
*
* -White
* Okay okay. Of course.
*
* CHANGE TO 1b
*
********************************************
***Nope*************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
* No, not really.
*
* -Judge
* Please continue your
* cross-examination.
*
********************************************
(1b)
-White
A light stand was lying on
the floor when I looked.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
The "glass stand was lying
on the floor"? That's the
first I've heard of this.
-Phoenix
Why didn't you tell us
about the stand before?
-White
W-why? Me?
-White
W-well... I was instructed
not to... wait!
-White
One moment!
Give me a minute to gather
my thoughts.
-White
I am so... so confused.
-Phoenix
(White's falling apart.)
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Your Honor! Please, I ask that
you do not allow the witness
to be badgered any further!
-Judge
M-Mr. Wright.
-Judge
Please refrain from badgering
the witness...
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
(Edgeworth is on the ropes!)
-Judge
Very well. The witness
may continue his account.
(2)
-White
Then, the next moment, I saw
Miss Mia run to the left!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Miss Mia"...?
-Phoenix
Mr. White, did you know
the victim personally?
-White
No no no, triple no!
How would I? How could I!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
I see nothing odd about
the witness knowing
the name of the victim.
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright! I will not have
you harrying the witness!
-Phoenix
(You're looking a little
flustered, Edgeworth!)
(3)
-White
The killer, you, attacked
her... but she dodged.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Now before, you said that she
was hit before she ran.
-White
Y-yes, I must have
been confused.
-White
But don't worry!
We all know what happened now.
(4)
-White
She turned, and ran
for the door!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What did you do then?
-White
I gave chase, of course!
-White
...!
-White
No! No! Not me.
Th-the killer, I mean!
He gave chase!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Mr. White, please try
to remain calm.
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright here is only trying
to fluster you with baseless
accusations!
-White
Oh... oh right. Thank you,
Miles.
(5)
-White
Then you did her in with
a single blow! Thwap!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Thwap"...?
-Phoenix
That doesn't sound like the
"savage" attack from your
earlier testimony...
-White
Ho! Hoh hoh! Yes, well,
I am a man of peace, you see.
-Maya
Phoenix!
-Maya
He's getting a lot
less talkative.
-Phoenix
He's probably afraid I'll
catch him on something!
-Phoenix
(But it won't be easy!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Mr. White.
***If Glass Shards presented****************
*
* -Phoenix
* It was impossible for you
* to have seen the light stand!
*
* -White
* Whaaaat!?
*
* -Phoenix
* The stand broke into
* pieces when it fell!
*
* -White
* Ooof!
*
* -Phoenix
* Just by seeing the broken
* pieces you would have no
* idea it was a light stand!
*
* -Phoenix
* So tell me, exactly when
* was it that you saw the stand?
*
* -Phoenix
* Answer the question!
*
* -White
* ...!
*
* -White
* I-isn't it obvious?
* I saw the stand before it
* fell over!
*
* -Phoenix
* So... you saw the stand
* before the victim was
* attacked, then?
*
* -White
* C-correct! That would be
* no problemo, right?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm...)
*
* ***No problemo******************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Right.
* * I guess there isn't a problem.
* *
* * -Judge
* * Very well.
* * Now...
* *
* * -Maya
* * Ph-Phoenix!
* * Wait!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Huh? What?
* *
* * -Maya
* * He saw the stand through the
* * office window before it fell
* * over...
* *
* * -Maya
* * That's what he's saying,
* * right?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Yeah, I guess so.
* *
* * -Maya
* * How could that be possible?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Huh...? Why not?
* *
* * -Maya
* * There's no way he could have
* * seen it! And you have proof!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * ...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Oh!
* *
* * -Judge
* * Something wrong, Mr. Wright?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Sorry, Your Honor!
* * I guess there is a problemo,
* * er, I mean, a problem.
* *
* * -Judge
* * I see. Please try to think
* * before you speak, Mr. Wright.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Sorry, Your Honor.

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Mr. White, let me make sure
* * I have this straight...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * You saw the glass light
* * stand through the window,
* * from the hotel...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * before the incident occurred?
* *
* * -White
* * Correct! That is so!
* * It's conclusive, definitive,

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * No, it's impossible!
* * You couldn't have seen

* * -Phoenix

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

* Well, Mr. Edgeworth?

-Judge
The completion of the trial
of Mr. Phoenix Wright will be
postponed until tomorrow.
-Phoenix
(No! There's no telling what
will happen if I can't end
this now!)
-Phoenix
(Edgeworth is sure to come up
with--or just make up--
something!)
-Phoenix
(And after Mia showed up
to help me and all...)
-White
Mr. Your Honor!
-White
May I go home?
-Judge
Of course.
Thank you for your time.
-Phoenix
(Gah!)
-Mia
The witness will stay!
-Phoenix
(M-Mia...!)
-Mia
Phoenix!
-Mia
Read this note out loud.
-Phoenix
Mia? What's this...?
Memo received from Mia.
-Phoenix
Your Honor.
If I may...?
-Judge
You're quite persistent today,
Mr. Wright!
-Phoenix
(You bet I am! My life is
riding on this one!)
-Phoenix
I have something I would
like to read to the court!
***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* (No... that's not it!
* I can't mess this one up!)
*
* -Judge
* Something the matter?
*
* -Phoenix
* N-no, Your Honor!
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
The memo Mia had given me
was a list of names.
-Phoenix
Many of them sounded
strangely familiar.
-Phoenix
People in finance, famous
celebrities...
-Phoenix
That's when it happened.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-White
S-s-stop! Desist! Halt!
-White
P-please, stop!
Make him stop!
-White
How... how did you
get that list!?
-Mia
Mr. White.
-Mia
Admit your guilt, right
here, right now.
-Mia
Or else this list will
be released to the press!
-White
!!!
-White
...
-White
I... I confess.
-White
I confess.
-White
I... I did it.
I hit her.
-White
I hit Miss Mia with
"The Thinker"!
-White
...
-Mia
Case closed, Your Honor.
-Judge
Well, I see no reason to
continue this trial.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Judge
You've done it again!
That was quite a spirited
defense!
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
I guess you could say that.
(If only you knew how
"spirit"-ed it was!)
-Judge
Hmm. Well!
-Judge
This court finds the
defense...
-Judge
Ahem! Rather, the defendant,
Mr. Phoenix Wright...
* N O T G U I L T Y *
-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!

September 9, 2:24 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1
-Mia
Well, I never thought I'd
be saying this again...
-Mia
But, congratulations!
You're lucky I was
born a Fey!
-Phoenix
I'm lucky I had both
you and Maya on my side.
-Mia
I'm glad you made it.
-Mia
...
-Mia
Thank you, Phoenix.
-Mia
You risked a lot to help
me... and Maya.
-Mia
I won't forget it as
long as I live!
-
(As long as you "live"...?)
-Mia
...
-Mia
My time here's running out.
-
Huh?
-Mia
Maya's powers are still weak.
-Mia
I can't stay here that long.
-
W-what!? No!
There's still so much to say!
-Mia
Don't worry.
-Mia
I'm sure we'll meet again.
-
Ch-Chief!
-Mia
Hee hee.
I'm not the "Chief" anymore.
-Mia
-Mia
Can you come to the office
tonight... say, 9:00?
-
The office...?
-Mia
I'll see you later.
-
Chief... Mia!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 9,
Fey &
-
(Being here, it's hard not
to think about that night...)
-???
You came!
-
Mia...
-???
I was kinda worried
you might not.
-
Huh? Of couse I came...
-???
Well then!
-???
I'm pretty hungry.
How about a burger?
-
M-Mia...?
-???
...
-???
Bwah hah hah!
You should see your face!
-
Mia!
-Maya
What are you talking about?
It's me! Maya!
-
M-Maya...?
-Maya
What, did I look like
my sister?
-
(Look like... you WERE her!)
-Maya
Hmm! I might be able to
use that.
-Maya
"Oh,
and buy me lunch, would you?"
-
Uhm, Maya...
Why are you here?
-Maya
Because of this!
-Maya
See? Mia wrote me a letter.
-Maya
"Take care of
-
Take care of... huh?
-Maya
She means the office!
This office!
-Maya
Someone has to help with the
new Wright & Co. Law Offices,
right?
-Maya
And who better but me!
Maya Fey, reporting for duty!
-Maya
Wait, no, on second thoughtm
let's make this casual!
-Maya
Yo, Nick! Maya here, ready
to get down to business!
-Maya
You... don't mind me calling
you "Nick," do you?
-Maya
It's a great name! Mia said
that's what your friend
Larry calls you.
-
("Nick"...?)
-Maya
You know what this means?
We're partners!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
You know, when I think
about it...
-
It is Maya's fault
I'm here now.
-
But...
-
If it wasn't for her
I'd probably be in jail!
-
"Wright & Co. Law Offices."
It's got a good ring to it.
-
Yeah!
-
Thanks, Maya!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mia
(Good luck,
-Mia
(I'll always be here...
watching.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
Right! Okay, Nick, let's do it!
-
Huh? Do... what?
-Maya
Burgers, dummy! Burgers!
-Maya
There's a great burger
joint just down the street.
-Maya
C'mon! Time's a wasting!
-
O-okay! Wait up!
