The girl... Let
her go!
Shut up!
C-Come closer...
And I kill her!
Sorry, but you're
not going
to get the
chance...
*BANG!*
[Phoenix
is using a laptop]
I'm reading
through the file
of an old court
case.
It was the first
case of my
long-time mentor,
Mia Fey...
[Viewing Data 1 File]
Fugitive
Data
Name: Terry
Fawles
Charge:
Kidnapping, Murder
Sentence: Death
Penalty
[Viewing Data 2 File]
Fugitive
Movements
After escaping,
Fawles
met with, and
then
murdered,
Sergeant
Valerie
Hawthorne.
Recaptured on
Eagle Mountain
about 8 hours
after
his escape.
Her very first
client was a
death row inmate
who had
recently broken
out of prison.
That was a whole
year before
Mia and I ever
met.

Trial
February 16, 9:24 AM
District
Court
Defendant Lobby No. 4
Mia
(Ugh...
I'm so nervous.
I
feel like I'm going to die.)
Mia
(I
never should've
accepted
this case...)
[Unknown
person appears]
Mia
Eeeeeeek!
Mia
...Ah! G-G-Good
morning!
(Don't
be so jumpy, Mia!)
???
I-I din't do
nuttin'!
I swear!
I din't kill
nobody!
Mia
(Terry
Fawles...
...My
first client.)
Mia
(Sentenced
to death 5 years
ago,
and now... a prison
escapee.)
Fawles
...
Mia
(Just
relax, Mia! Make small
talk
and try to relax him!)
Mia
...Err, umm...
So why did you
escape anyway?
Fawles
Ah. Ah.
UGGA!
Mia
Eeeeek!
I'm sorry! I'm
sorry!
Fawles
...Ugh.
I din't do
nuttin'!
I din't kill
nobody!
Fawles
I never... I
never lie!
I din't escape
from nowhere!
Mia
Err...
Mia
But, Mr.
Fawles...
The police just
recaptured
you two days ago.
Fawles
...
Ugh.
Sorry. I told a
little lie.
Mia
(Oh
boy...)
Fawles
But anyway, I
din't do it!
I never killed
nobody!
Mia
Umm, sorry for
asking but...
You're on death
row, right?
Fawles
Uh. Uh...
UGGA!
Mia
Eeeeeek!
I'm really,
really sorry!
Fawles
They sentenced me
to die
5 years ago!
But I was tricked
I tell you!
Fawles
That woman! She
lied in her
testimony!
...That's why I got
the death
penalty!
Fawles
I swear it! I
din't kill her!
I could never do
that!
Mia
(Two
days ago, he escaped
from
the police wagon when
it
crashed...)
Mia
(Then
about 8 hours later...)
Mia
(A
policewoman was murdered
before
the police could
recapture
him.)
Mia
(The
police believe that
Terry
Fawles did it.)
Mia
Umm... After you
escaped,
did you meet a
policewoman?
Fawles
...
Fawles
Yeah... I did.
...She's the
reason I escaped.
Mia
(So
that much is true...
He
did meet with the victim.)
Fawles
But I din't kill
her!
Fawles
She was alive
when I left!
She was alive...!
It-It's true!
Mia
(I
can trust him... right?
I
mean, I should...)
???
Ha...!
???
You're not going
to figure
out the truth by
just staring
at the guy...
Mia
Y-You're... Why
are you here?
???
I came to see how
our little
kitten was doing
all alone in
the big, scary
lion's den.
???
...I thought
maybe you'd like
someone to play
with.
Mia
Err, where is Mr.
Grossberg?
???
Ha...!
That old man is
probably
still in bed.
???
I bet he's
clutching an empty
bottle and
mumbling in his
sleep.
Armando
Aren't I good
enough?
After all, it's
me...
Diego Armando!
Mia
I-I didn't say...
Mia
Diego Armando,
the finest
attorney at
Grossberg Law
Offices, is here
for me...?
Armando
No, no, no...
You've got it all
wrong!
Today, YOU'RE the
finest!
Armando
After all, it
took an amazing
amount of guts to
take this
case!
Armando
Imagine...
An escaped death
row convict
for a first
client!
Mia
Yeah, err...
Th-Thanks.
(I
sure wish I could get
out
of it though!)
Armando
Ha...!
Relax.
I just heard some
good news.
Armando
The prosecutor
for today
is fresh out of
his diapers
as well.
Mia
R-Really!?
Armando
However...
Unlike a certain
somebody
who I won't
mention...
Armando
...he's earned
the reputation
as a “genius”
since beginning
his law career.
Mia
(G-Genius...?)
Armando
Well, it's about
time
to head in,
Kitten.
Armando
Sharpen those
claws of yours.
It's go time!
Mia
(A
solitary confinement cell
for
the condemned must be
the
world's loneliest place.)
Mia
(...And
that's what my client
ran
away from.)
Mia
(Every
other lawyer gave up
on
him... But not me.)
Mia
(When
I saw those overflowing
eyes
and heard that simple,
child-like
voice...)
Mia
(I
just had the feeling that
he
was telling the truth.)

February 16, 10:00 AM
District
Court
Courtroom
No. 4
Judge
Court is now in session
for
the trial of
Terry Fawles.
Mia
The defense is
ready,
Your Honor.
???
The prosecution
has been
ready for a
while, Your Honor.
Judge
I understand the
lawyers for
both sides are
newcomers...?
Mia
Y-Y-Yes, Your
Honor.
I'm Mia Fey.
Edgeworth
Miles
Edgeworth... Your Honor.
Judge
So you're the new
prosecutor
everyone is
talking about, eh?
Judge
They say you
joined the
prosecutor's
office at quite
an early age.
Edgeworth
At 20... Your
Honor.
Armando
I guess our
little kitten
hasn't earned
herself much
of a reputation
yet, huh?
Mia
(Come
on, Mia!
You
can't lose! Not to
someone
younger than you!)
Edgeworth
...Hmph.
Judge
Young people
running a trial.
I'm not too sure
how I feel
about that.
