~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grrah!
You have disgraced me for the
last time, Steel Samurai!
The pale moon in the sky
cries for your blood!
The moon? No, it is you who
should gaze upon the moon...
For it will be the last moon
you ever see!
See you in hell,
Evil Magistrate!
Whoooooooaaaaaaa!
Grrrrrraaaaaaaah!
The warriors' swords gleam
and strike in the moonlight!
One has fallen... but who?
Only the moon knows!
Don't miss next week's
exciting episode:
"The Dark Messenger Returns!"

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

-
Huh? You mean the
guy on that show?
-Maya
Yes!
-Maya
They're saying that the
Steel Samurai killed
a villain!
-
...
-
Umm...
-
Isn't that what he's
supposed to do?
-Maya
Yeah, on TV!
-
Yeah, on TV.
-Maya
No! I mean, he actually
did it! In real life!
-Maya
He skewered a villain
with his Samurai Spear!
-
I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
-Maya
Just come to the office,
quick! Please, Nick!

Now for the morning news.
-TV
The actor Will Powers
was arrested yesterday.
Powers plays the lead role
-TV
in the popular kid's show
"The Steel Samurai: Warrior
of Neo Olde
-TV
He was arrested on
suspicion of murder.
-TV
The victim was Jack Hammer,
who plays the villain known
as the "Evil Magistrate."
-TV
His body was found still
inside the Evil Magistrate
costume.
-TV
The "Samurai Spear" was also
found stuck through the body.
-TV
Police believe this was the
murder weapon, and are
investigating further.
-
...
-
This has to be a joke.
-Maya
No, no, no! It's a nightmare!
The Steel Samurai is over!
The world is over!

So what!?

So, I've decided this
will be our first case!

What's wrong, Maya?
It's him! In the flesh!
-Maya
Umm...
Is that guy really him?
-
Whaddya mean "that guy"?
Of course it's him!
-
Will Powers, our client!
That's him.
-Maya
Um, maybe I shouldn't
be saying this...
-Maya
But he definitely did it.
Murder. At least once.
Maybe twice.
-
Whoa whoa whoa!
What are you saying!?
-Will
Umm...
-Maya
Y-yes!?
-Will
Something wrong...?
-Maya
N-no! No!
-
(This is getting off to a
great start.)
-Will
I know, I know. You're
disappointed, aren't you?
-Maya
D-disappointed!? Oh, no.
Oh no.
-Will
No, it's okay.
This is the real me.
-Will
When I got the part of
the Steel Samurai, with
that mask...
-Will
I decided I would never show
my face in public until the
job was over.
-Will
It's the kids, you know.
I didn't want to wreck
their dreams.
-Maya
Oh...
-Will
I guess it didn't matter.
-Will
So much for dreams.
-Will
I wonder what they think
of the Steel Samurai now.
-Will
*sniff*
Uwaaah!

Nick!
-
What?
-Maya
He's a good guy!
I mean, he's good!

Yeah.

He didn't do it!

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

* Maybe you could start by

*
* -Will
* Y-yes. Of course.
*
* -Will
* It seems like it was only
* yesterday. Actually, it was
* only yesterday.
*
* -Will
* The cast had come down

*
* -Will
* We went through a few

*
* -Will
* The Evil Magistrate was
* found lying in a crumpled
* heap near the set.
*
* -Will
* They took off his mask...
*
* -Will
* And discovered that it was
* Jack Hammer... dead!
*
* -Will
* He had been expertly skewered
* with the Samurai Spear.
*
-
* The "Samurai Spear"...?
*
* -Will
* Yes, it's a long spear
* that I... that the Steel
* Samurai uses as a weapon.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The Steel Samurai"***********
*
* -
* Maybe you could explain to me
* just what "the Steel Samurai"
* is.
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
* How could you say such a
* thing?
*
* -Maya
* I-I'm sorry, sir, I apologize
* for my partner!
*
* -Maya
* He's new to this, and a bit
* OUT OF TOUCH with the world.
*
* -
* Hey! Who's "new to this"!?
*
* -Will
* No, it's alright, really.
*
* -Will
* The Steel Samurai is the lead
* character in a popular kid's
* show.
*
* -Will
* He walks the streets of
* Neo Olde Tokyo...
*
* -Will
* Fighting battle after battle
* against the Evil Magistrate
* and his minions.
*
* -Will
* Of course, he never really
* defeats the Evil Magistrate.
*
* -Will
* Although...
*
* -Will
* I guess he did defeat
* him this time...
*
* -Will
* *sniff*
* Uwaaah!
*
* -
* I-I see.
*

* (Neo Olde
* Who comes up with
* these names!?)

********************************************
***Talk about "Powers's alibi"**************
*
* -
* Now, where were you on
* the day of the murder?
*
* -Will
* Well, that morning I came
* to studios at
*
* -Will
* We worked through some
* action scenes until
*
* -Will
* Rehearsal was to begin at
* 5:00, but I was a little
* tired.
*
* -Will
* So after lunch, I took a nap
* in my dressing room.
*
* -Will
* When I woke up, it was
* after
* for the rehearsal!
*
* -Will
* I hurried to the studio...
* and found everyone looking
* shocked.
*
* -Will
* They arrested me on the
* spot, and brought me here.
*
* -
* (So he was sleeping the entire
* afternoon of the murder?)
*
* -
* (Some action hero!)
*
* -Will
* What will the kids think?
* *sniff*
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -
* I think I should probably
* check out the scene of
* the murder...
*
* -Will
* Right... Global Studios.
* I'll draw you a map.
*
* -Maya
* Wow! Nick! Let's go!
*

Wow! So this is where they
make the Steel Samurai show!
-Maya
Awesome!
Aren't you excited!?
-Oldbag
Hey! You there!
-Oldbag
You want in, you gotta
go through me!
-Maya
O-oh... s-sorry!
-Maya
W-we're, um, lawyers.
-Oldbag
Oh yeah? Well that's great.
I'm security!
-Oldbag
And it's my job to make
sure that gawkers like
you stay OUT.
-Maya
G-gawkers?
-Oldbag
Gawkers! Sightseers!
Tourists!!!
-Oldbag
I know the type. You heard
about the incident and came
to snoop around.
-Oldbag
Youths today! Something
horrible happens and all you
can think of is sightseeing.
-Oldbag
Wasting your time
at a place like this.
-Oldbag
Don't you have jobs
you should be doing?
-Oldbag
Or do lawyers not work like
the rest of us? Maybe I should
become a lawyer too. Sounds
-Oldbag
like a life of ease to me no
work just loafing around all
day as you please. Well when
-Oldbag
I was young things were a mite
different, mind you we didn't
prance around in strange
-Oldbag
hippie clothes. What are the
youths coming to these days my
own son hasn't called in...
-Maya
Umm... Nick?
-Maya
Will I grow up to be like
her? Please say "no."
-
I dunno! It's possible.
-Oldbag
Hey!
-Oldbag
Listen when you're being
spoken to! Youths today!

*
* -
* (Absolutely not!)

***Talk about "The studios"*****************
*
* -
* So, what do you do here
* at the studios?
*
* -Oldbag
* At Global Studios, we make
* children's dreams come true!
*
* -Oldbag
* In fact, in my
* younger days...
*
* -Maya
* No! You were a star!?
*
* -Oldbag
* Only a little twinkle
* between the stars here,
* I'm afraid, dearie.
*
* -Maya
* Wo... wow.
*
* -Oldbag
* This place has really
* gone downhill, you know?
*
* -Oldbag
* But 10 years ago, now that
* was a studio of dreams!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer was a big star back
* then too, he was...
*
* -
* Hammer...?
*
* -Oldbag
* The victim, dummy!
*
* -Oldbag
* The Evil Magistrate!
*
* -Oldbag
* He's been reduced to playing
* villains now. Not exactly the
* best material to work with...
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Will Powers"*****************
*
* -
* Can you tell me about
* Mr. Will Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* He's not a bad kid, but
* don't be fooled by his mask!
*
* -Oldbag
* You wouldn't want him on
* the silver screen without
* it, believe me.
*
* -Oldbag
* Little old ladies watching
* would lose their lunch!
*
* -Oldbag
* That's probably why he thought
* that the Steel Samurai was
* his "big chance."
*
* -Oldbag
* No one thought he was
* capable of doing what he
* did to poor Jack Hammer...
*
* -Maya
* We don't know for certain
* that Will Powers is guilty!
*
* -Oldbag
* Powers? Of course he's guilty!
*
* -Oldbag
* How do I know?
* I know everything!
* That's my job.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -
* What kind of person
* was Jack Hammer?
*
* -Oldbag
* What "kind of person"?
* Oh... if you only knew!
*
* -Oldbag
* Jack Hammer will live on
* in many hearts as the
* ultimate action hero!
*
* -Oldbag
* He was simply dashing
* in the Dynamite Samurai
* series!
*
* -
* (Should I have heard
* of that...?)
*
* -Oldbag
* But... there was an accident
* during filming five years ago.
*
* -Oldbag
* He got an unlucky break
* after that.
*
* -Oldbag
* Reduced to playing the villain
* on a children's program!
*
* -Oldbag
* What's more, I heard they
* were paying him peanuts.
* It's enough to make you cry.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -
* Why are you so certain
* Mr. Powers is the killer?
*
* -Oldbag
* I was standing right
* here yesterday, I was.
*
* -Oldbag
* I was here from
* the afternoon, to
* when they found the body!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now the studio where the
* murder took place is to
* the left here.
*
* -Oldbag
* So if you want to go to
* the studio, you have to
* pass by me!
*
* -Oldbag
* Only one person went by here
* between
* the murder took place!
*
* -
* And... that person
* was Mr. Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* Yes.
* I saw him!
*
* -
* But Mr. Powers says he was
* sleeping in his dressing room.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, I'm sure he would
* say that. He's no fool!
*
* -Oldbag
* But he was the only
* one that walked by.
*
* -Oldbag
* He's the killer, you can
* bet your biscuits on it.
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Oldbag
Isn't it about time for
you to be heading home?
-Oldbag
There's nothing to see here.
Move along.
-
Um, actually, we're here
at Mr. Powers's request.
-Oldbag
Hmph! I thought you were
suspicious lookin'!
-Oldbag
Show me a "letter of
request."
-Oldbag
And maybe I'll just
let you in.
-Maya
This lady here thinks
she owns this place,
obviously.

Hello!
How was the studio?
-Will
They all think I did it,
don't they?
-Maya
N-no, not at all!
Isn't that right, Nick?
-
Right, not at all.
At worst, you're a suspect.

***Talk about "Your alibi"******************
*
* -
* Mr. Powers, you aren't
* hiding anything from
* me, are you?
*
* -Will
* W-what?
* No! I'd never do that!
*
* -
* Just now you said that you
* were sleeping in your dressing
* room after lunch.
*
* -Will
* Yes.
* Like a baby.
*
* -
* But the security lady
* said she saw you that day.
*
* -
* She says she saw you heading
* towards the scene of the
* crime!
*
* -Will
* W-what!? That's not possible!
*
* -Will
* I... I really don't know
* what to say! I was sleeping,
* I promise!
*
* -
* Mr. Powers, if you want me
* to help you, you have to
* tell me the truth.
*
* -
* I'm new to this lawyer
* business, and I need every
* advantage I can get.
*
* -Will
* I know... I-I'm sorry.
* *sniff*
*
* -Will
* But, I swear to you on my
* momma's grave, I was sleeping.
*
* -Will
* Maybe the security lady
* only thought she saw me?
*
* -
* (What did she see...?
* He doesn't seem to be lying.)

***Talk about "The security lady"***********

* guard at the main gate
* to the studio...

* -Will
* Oh, the security lady?
*
* -Maya
* She's terrible! She called me
* "suspicious lookin'"!
*
* -Will
* Y-yes... actually, she's said
* the same thing to me before.
*
* -Will
* "Take off that mask!" were
* her words, I believe.
*
* -Will
* She sucks up to all the
* bigwigs at the studio...
*
* -Will
* But let her see you stumble
* once and she'll never let
* up on you.
*
* -Maya
* Grr! She's got some nerve!
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -
* Do you think you ould write
* up a letter formally
* requesting my representation?
*
* -Will
* Of c-course.

Studio One Entrance
-Gumshoe
Hey!
-Gumshoe
Aren't you that murderer
from the other day!
-Maya
Aah!
It's that confused detective!
-Gumshoe
Hey pal, you know Prosecutor
Edgeworth is all upset, and
it's your fault!
-Gumshoe
I saw him sipping tea
and staring gloomily out
the window!
-
Umm... so?
-Maya
Hey!
-Maya
If he's depressed, it's all
your fault for doing sloppy
detective work!
-Gumshoe
!!!
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
...
-Maya
Um, Detective?
-
I think you hurt his feelings.
-Maya
Oh no!
I... I'm sorry!
-
Well, I think his feelings
are easily hurt.
-Gumshoe
You're right, pal.
It's all my fault.
-Gumshoe
I can blame other people
all I want, but I know
the truth in my heart!
-Maya
Hey, hey! Don't take it
so hard! There's always
the next case!
-Gumshoe
Yeah, I suppose you're right.
-Gumshoe
Hey!
-Gumshoe
What exactly are you
two doing here?
-Maya
Um, well...
-Maya
We're on this case too, pal!
-Gumshoe
Huh!? Hey! You can't
just go saying "pal"
like that!
-Gumshoe
That's MY endearing
character trait!
-Maya
I'd say he's a character
alright...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Maya
* There's a big welcome
* sign above the path.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, apparently the studio's
* fallen on tough times.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They've started letting
* people in on days they
* aren't filming.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They make a bit of extra
* money by charging for
* admission.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
* You sure know a lot about
* this place, Detective.
*
* -Maya
* You know, you could always
* quit being a detective
* and work here?
*
* -
* Yeah! And what perfect
* timing, with the monkey's
* neck broken and all.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? Just what's that
* supposed to mean, pal!?
*
********************************************
***Examine bench****************************
*
* -
* I'm a little bushed.
* Maybe I'll take a short
* rest here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, good idea, pal!
*
* -Maya
* Detective!
* Aren't you on the case?
*
* -Gumshoe
* W-well, yeah, but...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, us detectives get
* tired of standing around
* too, pal!
*
********************************************
***Examine path to the left*****************
*
* -
* Detective Gumshoe, what's
* down the path to the left?
*
* -
* It looks like a tree
* fell down over the path...?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, yeah. That way's kind
* of dangerous. You should
* stay out, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* There's nothing down
* there, anyway.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's where Studio Two
* used to be, they tell me.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They don't use it now, though.
*
********************************************
***Examine mascot***************************
*
* -
* The studio mascot.
*
* -
* I guess it's a monkey
* of some kind.
*
* -
* But what kind of monkey has
* a nose like that?
*
* -
* He's holding a sign
* in his hand.
*
* -
* [Right: To Studio One
* Left: To Studio Two]
*
* -Maya
* What's up with that
* thing!? It looks
* kind of... busted.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, the wind was pretty
* strong yesterday, and
* the head broke off.
*
* -Gumshoe
* It took that tree down
* with it, too.
*
********************************************
***Examine camera***************************
*
* -
* Hey, there's a
* camera here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's the security camera.
* It takes photos of people
* going to the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* All you have to do is look
* at the data and you can see
* who went where!
*
* -
* There's a number plate
* on the camera... [ST1-307].
*
* -
* That must be the
* camera ID number.
*
********************************************
***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -
* This is the studio where they
* found Jack Hammer's body.
*
* -Maya
* Let's go in and check
* it out, Nick!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Hey! It's locked!
*
* -
* Looks like you need a
* cardkey to get in.
*
* -Phoenx
* It makes sense that they
* would want to keep the
* non-employees out.
*
********************************************
***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -
* Detective, see this?
* This is my attorney's badge.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Uh huh?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Don'tcha think it's a little
* sad when you have to explain
* what your badge means, pal?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Real men show their P.D.
* badge and that's that!
*
* -
* I'll admit the design of
* my badge leaves a lot to
* be desired...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe it should just be
* a big "L" for "Lawyer"?
*
* -
* Hmm... I'm not so
* sure about that.
*
********************************************
***Present other****************************
*
* -
* Um, Detective.
* Any ideas about this?

* Look, I don't got time to

*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation"***********
*
* -
* So, how is your investigation
* going, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, it's... Hey! I can't
* tell you that, pal.
*
* -Maya
* Nick...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe you need to be a little
* more indirect with your
* questions?
*
* -
* Right.
* So, Detective, mind if I take
* a look at what you got?
*
* -Gumshoe
* What I got?
*
* -
* The autopsy report!
* The latest version, if
* you please...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm... right, right.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry about what happened
* last time, pal.
*
* Autopsy Report added to
* the Court Record.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation" again*****
*
* -
* So, how is your investigation

* I'm not at liberty to give

*
* -Gumshoe
* You'll hear all you
* need to know in court!
*
* -
* (Oh well, it was
* worth a try.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for arrest"***********
*
* -
* Why was Mr. Powers arrested?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Simple, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* The murder took place right
* over there in Studio One.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Now, the victim entered
* Studio One at approximately
*
*
* -Gumshoe
* At that time, there was no
* one other than the victim
* in the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* According to the autopsy report,
* the time of death was
*
* -Gumshoe
* Only one person went to the
* studio between
*
* -Gumshoe
* And that person was none
* other than Will Powers!
*
* -Gumshoe
* No one else, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* If you think I'm lying,
* ask the security lady
* at the main gate.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! If that's true...!
*
* -Maya
* Anyone would think that
* Powers did it with that
* kind of evidence!
*
* -
* Thanks for cheering me up...
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The Security Lady"***********
*
* -
* About the security lady...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, that sweet old lady.
* What a charmer!
*
* -
* Huh?
* A-are we talking about
* the same person?
*
* -Gumshoe
* When I showed her my badge
* she gave me a donut and
* some coffee!
*
* -Maya
* Remember what Powers said.
* She's a sucker for authority.
*
* -Gumshoe
* She even gave me a piece
* of valuable evidence!
*
* -Maya
* Whaat!?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Decisive evidence"***********
*
* -
* What kind of evidence!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, that, er, photo.
*
* -Gumshoe
* The photo of the Steel Samurai
* heading toward the scene
* of the crime!
*
* -Maya
* What!
* Who took that!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* See the camera up
* on that gate, pal?
*
* -Maya
* The gate? You mean the
* one with the welcome sign?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah. Whenever someone walks
* by, that camera automatically
* snaps a photo of them!
*
* -Maya
* Oh no!
*
* -Maya
* Nick, he has evidence!
* We're finished!
*
* -
* (Funny, for someone with
* hard proof he doesn't look
* too happy.)
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Gumshoe
What's wrong, pal?
You seem down.
-
Don't look so happy
when you say that.
-Gumshoe
Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!
-Maya
Umm...
-Maya
We'd like to ask the employees
here some questions...
-Gumshoe
Sure thing, pal.
-Gumshoe
Go wherever you like.
-Gumshoe
Of course, you're not going
to find any clues I haven't
already found! Hah hah hah!
-
(I'm glad someone around
here seems to be enjoying
themselves.)
-Maya
Nick, let's go!
-Maya
We've got a free pass to
the place. Now's our chance
to check things out!
MOVE TO: Studio - Main Gate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
Nick! Look!
-Maya
That security lady is in the
guard station stuffing her
face with donuts!
-Maya
I guess all cops like
their donuts!
-
Yeah, and they're soft
enough she doesn't need
teeth to chew them...
-Oldbag
Hey, you!
-Oldbag
Well? Are you satisfied
Powers is guilty yet?
-
(Urk!)
-
(She had to make my life
harder by giving that photo
to Detective Gumshoe...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********
*
* -
* Why didn't you tell
* us about the security
* photo, ma'am?
*
* -Oldbag
* Hmm? Oh, that?
*
* -Oldbag
* I just thought it would be
* more thrilling to talk
* with the detective himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* These things are important,
* you know.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, just to the left from
* here is the gate with the
* camera that took that photo.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's my job to check the
* photos every day, you see.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -Oldbag
* This guard station is in a
* central position.
*
* -Oldbag
* No matter where you go here,
* you pass by my station first!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now poor Hammer, he went to
* the studio just before
*
* -Oldbag
* The murder happened right
* around 2:30, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* The only one I seen go through
* here between
* was Powers himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* The security camera got
* a good look at him too.
*
* -Oldbag
* If he's not the one what
* did it, I don't know who is!
*
* -
* Maybe... it was you?
*
* -Oldbag
* Gyah hah ha hah!
* Good one, sonny.
*
* -
* (She thinks I was joking.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -
* Was the victim, Mr. Hammer,
* a popular actor?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, he was the biggest
* star in the studio!
*
* -
* ("Was"? Past tense?)
*
* -Maya
* Oh yes! He was great as
* the "Bearded Samurai"!
*
* -Oldbag
* That too, yes.
*
* -Oldbag
* He shone the brightest!
* Back in the day.
*
* -Oldbag
* Making a star like him play
* the "Evil Magistrate"...
* It's a disgrace, I tell you!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer took it pretty hard,
* and who can blame him?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Automatic camera"************
*
* -
* About the security camera...
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh yes, the camera.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's automatic. It can tell
* when someone walks through
* that gate, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* Then it snaps a photo!
*
* -Oldbag
* Apparently, it records the
* time when it takes a picture
* too.
*
* -Oldbag
* But I don't bother myself
* with those details.
*
* -Oldbag
* I just view all the photos
* on the computer over in the
* security guard station.
*
* -Oldbag
* I check 'em every day before
* going home, I do.

***Talk about "What to do"******************
*

*
********************************************
***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********
*

* Only one person went to the

...
-
What is it?
-Maya
...
-
You're real quiet all
of a sudden.
-Maya
Doesn't it give
you the shivers, Nick?
-Maya
That white tape!
It's so... so real!
-
Well, the Evil Magistrate
did die here.
-
And the Steel Samurai
killed him.
-
The murder weapon was the
Samurai Spear. Sounds pretty
real to me...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine backdrop*************************
*
* -
* Looks like a backdrop
* for a stage.
*
* -
* This must be used in
* the Steel Samurai show.
*
* -Maya
* Of course! That's the
* mountain, Neo Fujiyama!
*
* -
* Doesn't the Steel Samurai take
* place in Olde Tokyo? Can you
* even see
*
* -Maya
* Not Olde Tokyo, Nick!
* "Neo" Olde Tokyo!
*
* -
* Oh.
* Right.
*
********************************************
***Examine white board**********************
*
* -Maya
* What's this?
*
* -Pheonix
* That's for reflecting light.
* They call it a reflecting
* screen or something like that.
*
* -
* The assistant holds it
* during filming.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
*
* -
* What? Where's your
* enthusiasm for all
* things entertainment?
*
* -Maya
* Well, lighting is fine, but
* I'd want to be the director.
* Or maybe the Steel Samurai!
*

* (I think she's being
* serious...!)

***Examine director's chair*****************
*
* -Maya
* Hey! Look! That's the chair
* the director sits in!
*
* -Maya
* I've always wanted to

* Hey Nick, take a

*
* -Maya
* One of those black-and-white

***Examine ladder***************************

* Look, a ladder!
*
* -
* That's a "step"-ladder.
*
* -Maya
* So? What's the difference?
*
* -Maya
* You need to stop judging
* things based on narrow-minded
* cultural assumptions, Nick!
*
* -
* R-right... sorry.
* (This girl is OUT there!)
*
********************************************
***Examine body outline*********************
*
* -
* They outlined where Jack
* Hammer's body lay with tape.
*
* -
* His body was found still
* inside the Evil Magistrate
* costume.
*
* -
* I guess that's why the head
* part looks like a helmet.
*
* -
* Funny, I expected a spear
* stabbing would leave at
* least a few bloodstains.
*
* -
* I guess the costume must
* have absorbed most of it...
*
********************************************
***Examine cameras**************************
*
* -Maya
* Wow, look at that camera!
* That must cost a ton!
*
* -
* Yeah! So don't touch it!

* Whoa! It's heavier
* than I thought...
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -???
* Hey! You!
* No touching that!

* Ah, um, sorry, my partner

*
* -Maya
* "Y'know"!? No I don't know!
*
* -
* Umm... who are you?
*
* -Penny
* Who me? I'm an assistant here.
*
* -Penny
* I help with props and stuff.
* Moving them around, ordering

*
* -Maya
* We're lawyers representing
* Mr. Will Powers.
*
* -Penny
* Oh, you're WP's people.
*
* -Maya
* "WP"...? Oh, Will Powers.
* W.P., I get it.
*
* -Penny
* I don't envy you guys one bit!
*
* -Penny
* But... do what you can for
* WP, okay?
*
* -Penny
* He'd never hurt a fly!
* He has to be innocent.
*
* -Maya
* Don't worry, leave it to us!
*

***Present anything*************************
*
* -
* Um, any thoughts about this?
*
* -Penny
* Sorry...
*
* -Penny
* I... don't really want
* to think too much about
* what happened just yet.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The day of the crime"********
*
* -
* Could you tell me anything
* about the day of the murder?
*
* -Penny
* Yes. I was in the studio
* the whole day.
*
* -Penny
* I was the only assistant
* on staff that day, you see.
*
* -Maya
* Only one assistant!?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, well, the studios aren't
* doing so well right now.
*
* -Penny
* And yesterday was only
* rehearsal for our action
* sequences.
*
* -Maya
* I see. Neat!
*
* -Penny
* In the morning we went through
* the action sequences in the
* employee area.
*
* -Penny
* WP and Hammer were there,
* along with everyone else.
*
* -
* The employee area--that's
* where Powers's dressing
* room is, right?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, that's the place.
*
* -Penny
* After eating lunch there,
* Mr. Hammer went to Studio One.
*
* -Penny
* Then I saw WP go into
* his dressing room.
*
* -Penny
* But I didn't see either
* of them after that.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Will Powers******************
*
* -
* Did you know that Mr. Powers
* was sleeping in his room?
*
* -Penny
* No! I wouldn't go in there
* unless I had some urgent
* message for him...
*
* -Penny
* I mean, it's his private...
* What kind of a girl do
* you think I am!?
*
* -
* W-what kind...? No, no, I'm
* sure you're a fine girl.
* Um, sorry.
*
* -
* (So much for getting a
* confirmation of Powers's
* alibi.)
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Maya
What do we do, Nick?
We haven't found anything.
-Maya
If WP was the only one
who came to the studio...
-Maya
Then he has to be the
killer! They even have
a photograph...
-
Hmm...
-Penny
Umm...
-Penny
Sorry... I know
you're busy.
-
Not really.
-Penny
Actually, there's been
something bothering me.
-Maya
Ah hah!
-Maya
That's what I'm talking about!
A clue! A lead!
-Penny
Well, I don't know about that,
but that day, just after
I sensed someone was here...
-
You "sensed"?
-Penny
Yes, several times.
-
Some other studio employees,
maybe?
-Penny
No, I don't think so.
-Penny
The only thing we had
scheduled was an action
scene run-through.
-Penny
I was the only assistant
here that day.
-Penny
I have a feeling it was
someone from... outside.
-
R-really!?
-Maya
But wait, if someone
had come in here...
-Maya
Wouldn't that security
lady have noticed them?
-
Yeah, you're right.
-Penny
I'm sorry I don't have
any better information
than that.
-Maya
No, thanks! That helps
us a lot. Anything helps.
-Maya
Let's go put that security
lady on the spot!
***Talk about "Sensing someone"*************
*
* -
* So you sensed that someone
* other than the regular
* film crew was in the studio?
*
* -Penny
* Yes... I think.
*
* -
* ("I think" doesn't cut it
* in a witness testimony.)

* Nick!
* What about that security lady!

* If someone else came into

Right, we'll put her in her

Hey, that's what I said!
Anyway...

Let's show her this photo
and see what she says!

Wait. Let's not.

Why not?

It's never a good idea to
reveal your hand to the
enemy too soon.

Nick! You're craftier than
I gave you credit for.

Why, you could be the next...
Evil Magistrate!
-
Hey! Why do I have
to be the villain.

Relax, it was just a joke!
So, are we done for today?

I think this photo is

October 18,
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Will Powers.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution will show the
court that at
on October 15, the defendant,
-Edgeworth
Mr. Will Powers, killed
fellow actor Jack Hammer at
Studio One of Global Studios.
-Edgeworth
It is impossible for anyone
else to have committed this
heinous crime.
-Edgeworth
The evidence presented
during the trial will all
point to this fact.
-Judge
Hmm. I see.
-Judge
Very well, I would like to
move on to your testimony.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, the prosecution
may call its first witness.
-Edgeworth
First, I would like to call
a familiar face, Detective
Gumshoe, to the stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Detective, if you would
briefly describe this case
to the court?
-Gumshoe
Yes sir!
I'll explain with the
guidemap here.
RETURN HERE FROM BELOW
-Gumshoe
To understand this case, it's
important to grasp the layout
of the studios, see?
-Gumshoe
This here is the Employee
Area.
-Gumshoe
The actors did a run-through
of their action scenes during
the morning here.
-Gumshoe
This is the main gate to the
studios.
-Gumshoe
The security lady that works
at the studios was here at
-Gumshoe
Past the security station
there is a gate, see?
-Gumshoe
Past that are the studios.
-Gumshoe
And here it is...
Studio One.
-Gumshoe
This is the scene of the
murder, where the body
was found!
-Gumshoe
Now, on the day of the
murder, October 15, there
were only three people here.
Gumshoe
The victim, Jack Hammer,
-Gumshoe
the defendant, Will Powers,
-Gumshoe
and a young woman, the
production assistant.
-Gumshoe
All the production staff
were in the Employee Area
until
-Gumshoe
Then after lunch, the victim,
Jack Hammer, went to
Studio One.
-Gumshoe
Right after that, at
the security lady got to the
guard station.
-Gumshoe
Now, jump ahead to later
that day...
-Gumshoe
The production staff came
to Studio One to perform a
rehearsal.
-Gumshoe
Needless to say, the rehearsal
was cancelled...
-Gumshoe
The time of death was
-Gumshoe
The "Samurai Spear" found
lodged in the victim's chest
was the murder weapon.
-Gumshoe
That's the case, in brief.
-Gumshoe
Anyone like to hear
that again?
-
(Hmm... should I listen to
that whole thing again...?)
***Skip it**********************************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Listen again*****************************
*
* -
* I'm sorry, could you describe
* that one more time?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I shoulda known it would
* be you, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Fine. Once more for the
* mentally-challenged lawyer.
*
* -
* (Yeah, yeah. Live it up
* while you can, Gumshoe.)
*
* RETURN TO RETURN POINT (LABELED ABOVE)
*
********************************************
-
(I think I can probably
remember that...)
-Judge
So the murder weapon
was a "spear"?
-Judge
How... medieval!
Samurai Spear added
to the Court Record.
-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
This case is quite simple
if you ask one question:
-Edgeworth
And that question is:
-Edgeworth
"What did the security lady
at the guard station see?"
-Judge
Understood.
-Edgeworth
Let's call this security
officer to the stand!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Will the witness declare
her name?
-Oldbag
...
-Oldbag
Hmm?
-Oldbag
My, aren't you
a handsome fellow!
-Oldbag
I'm afraid I'm a bit
flustered!
-Edgeworth
Y-your name, please!
-Oldbag
Oh, dearie! No need for
you to be embarrassed!
Just call me "grandma."
-Edgeworth
YOUR NAME, PLEASE!
-
(Seems Edgeworth has a bit of
trouble getting his witnesses
to say their names...)
-Oldbag
Wendy Oldbag, dearie.
-Oldbag
So just call me "grandma."
It's practically my name!
-Oldbag
So even when I was young I
was an Oldbag, but not really
that was just my name dearie.
-Oldbag
Still how the other children
would make fun of me and just
because of my name can you
-Oldbag
believe it? But there was this
boy, the captain of the chess
club in junior high, and when
-Oldbag
he called me an old bag well
I just cried and cried because
I had a crush on him you see--
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
O-objection! I... object to
the witness's talkativeness.
-Judge
Objection sustained!
-Judge
The witness will refrain
from rambling on the stand.
-Oldbag
I was just getting to
the good part, dearie!
-Edgeworth
Perhaps we can get to the
testimony?
-Judge
Now, the witness was stationed
at the main gate on the day
of the murder, correct?
-Oldbag
Yessey I was.
-Judge
And to get to the scene of
the murder, someone would
have to pass by you?
-Oldbag
You know your stuff, dearie!
-Judge
...
-Judge
You may begin your testimony.
-
(She sure is one hell of
an Oldbag...)

On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at

had been doing a run-through
there since the morning.

to run that morning.

Interesting to me, because a
certain man walked right by
me at

It was Powers!
That man right there, and he
was heading toward the studio!

You saw the defendant, then?
Hmm...

Very well. Let's begin the
cross-examination. Mr. Wright?

Yes, Your Honor.

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
So up until that time,
anyone who wanted to
could go into the studio?
-Oldbag
Well, there wasn't a security
guard at the gate, no.
-Oldbag
But the main gate
was locked, dearie.
-Oldbag
You'd need an employee
cardkey to get in.
-
(Right... the cardkey
that I have.)
-
(So, what she's saying is
no one who wasn't supposed
to be there could get in.)
-Edgeworth
Was there anyone at the
studios when you arrived
at the guard station?
(2)
-Oldbag
Poor old Hammer and the rest
had been doing a run-through
there since the morning.
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
A "run-through"...?
-Oldbag
They were working out a scene
between the Steel Samurai
and the Evil Magistrate.
-Oldbag
They got the basics figured
out by
the afternoon for practice.
-Oldbag
Rehearsal was supposed
to start at
-Oldbag
That's why poor old Hammer
went to Studio One in the
afternoon.
-
(So Powers was in his dressing
room sleeping... when he was
supposed to be practicing!)
-
(Talk about a laid-back
hero...)
-Edgeworth
If there was a run-through in
the morning, why did you
only get there after
(3)
-Oldbag
I, well, I had some errands
to run that morning.
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
What kind of "errands"?
-Oldbag
Oh, well, you know.
-
Answer the question!
-Oldbag
Actually... I was watching
poor Hammer and Powers.
Observing, you know?
-
O-observing?
Weren't you supposed to
be at the guard station?
-Oldbag
Whippersnapper! I told you
I locked the gate, didn't I?
I did my job!
-
(I'm not sure your boss
would see it that way...)
-Oldbag
Anyway!
-Oldbag
I always watch Hammer's
run-throughts. Always!
-Oldbag
Never missed one
in all my years.
-Maya
Wow! I want to see a Steel
Samurai run-through too!
-
You could quit being a spirit
medium and take up guard duty.
-Maya
Not a bad idea...
(4)
-Oldbag
Anyway, it was
I got to the guard station.
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
Did you see the victim then?
-Oldbag
Did I see poor old Hammer?
Nope.
-Oldbag
He'd already gone to the
studio before I got back
to the guard station.
-Edgeworth
Tell us what happened next.
(5)
-Oldbag
I was at the main gate
from then until
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
So you were watching there
the WHOLE time? No breaks?
Not even a second?
-Oldbag
O-of course!
I am a professional, you know!
-Oldbag
Our are you criticizing how
I do my job!? Whippersnapper!
-
No, it's just, after seeing
you eating those donuts in
the guard station yesterday...
-Oldbag
I can watch the gate and eat
donuts at the same time!
-Oldbag
Snipperwhapper!
-Maya
"Snipperwhapper"...?
-Maya
Old windbag is losing
it, Nick.
-
Why don't you raise an
objection?
-Judge
So, the witness was on duty
through the afternoon,
the whole time. Very well.
-Judge
What did you see?
(6)
-Oldbag
Now, the murder happened
at
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
How did you know that?
-Oldbag
Oh hoh hoh. I have my ways!
That over-dressed young
detective told me.
-Oldbag
I fed him some donuts and
he talked and talked...
-Oldbag
If you ask me, that detective
isn't cut out for his job.
-Edgeworth
...
-
(Poor Detective Gumshoe,
getting chewed out by a
security guard...)
(7)
-Oldbag
Interesting to me, because a
certain man walked right by
me at
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
-Oldbag
Sure as spit!
-Judge
Well, who was the man!?
-Oldbag
Really, you should try not to
get so excited at your age.
You might strain something.
-Judge
...
-Oldbag
Now, now, don't get your
skivvies all in a bunch.
I'll tell you who it was!
(8)
-Oldbag
It was Powers!
That man right there, and he
was heading toward the studio!
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
So you saw Mr. Powers?
-Oldbag
That's what I said!
Got wax in your ears, sonny?
-Maya
Nick, this is your chance!
-
Yeah, time to pull out
the secret weapon...
-Oldbag
I'll say it again!
It was him!
-Maya
Nick...
-Maya
Doesn't she seem like she's
enjoying this a little too
much?
-
Windbags love gossiping about
other people's misfortunes.
-Maya
Ugh. Can't she get her
kicks somewhere else?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
*OBJECTION!*
-
Let me get this straight,
old bag! Er, Ms. Oldbag!
-
You've been saying since
yesterday that you "saw
Mr. Powers," correct?
-
But you're talking about
the man in this photo,
aren't you!
-Judge
J-just a moment,
Mr. Wright.
-Judge
Let me see that photo!
-Judge
...
-Judge
What is this, exactly?
-
None other than the Steel
Samurai, defender of
Neo Olde
-
Ms. Oldbag!
-
Is this the "Mr. Powers"
that you saw!?
-Oldbag
Of course! Didn't your momma
teach you any sense, sonny?
-Oldbag
Anyone can plainly see
that's Powers! Right?
-Edgeworth
Um, yeah.
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
Umm... well.
I wonder?
-
True, Mr. Powers does play
the role of the Steel Samurai!
-
But that doesn't mean Mr.
Powers IS the Steel Samurai!
-Oldbag
...!
-Oldbag
I... I know that!
I wasn't born yesterday!
-Judge
No one in this court is
accusing you of that,
Ms... er, witness.
-
(He's having trouble calling
her "Oldbag" apparently...)
-Judge
However, you do not have proof
that the person in this photo
is Mr. Will Powers, do you?
-Oldbag
Humph!
Nosy old man!
-Oldbag
Of course I have proof!
-
What!?
-Edgeworth
Huh!?
-
(Even Edgeworth is
surprised!?)
-Edgeworth
The prosecution would like
to ask the old... the witness.
-Edgeworth
Please make known all the
information in your
possession ahead of time!
-Oldbag
How was I to know everyone
would be so nosy! You should
be ashamed, all of you!
-Oldbag
Anyway, I showed that photo
to the young detective.
-Oldbag
He told me "this isn't any
good as evidence, pal."
-Oldbag
He didn't even give it
a second look!
-Edgeworth
...
-
(Wow, old windbag has left
even Edgeworth speechless.
She's good!)
-Judge
Let's hear about your
proof, then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
--The Man in the Photo--
(1)
-Oldbag
I never say anything
I don't mean, mind you!
(2)
-Oldbag
That morning, during the
run-through of the action
scene...
(3)
-Oldbag
I saw Powers trip and fall!
(4)
-Oldbag
He broke one of the props,
it was a big mess.
(5)
-Oldbag
Apparently, he sprained
his ankle pretty bad.
-Oldbag
Now, look at that picture!
(6)
-Oldbag
You can see he's dragging
his leg! See? Clear as day!
(7)
-Oldbag
That's how I knew it
was Powers. Happy?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm. So he had sprained
his ankle...?
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright, you
may cross-examine the witness.
-
(She's got to be hiding
something... I'll press
her until she squeals.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
--The Man in the Photo--
(1)
-Oldbag
I never say anything
I don't mean, mind you!
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
Umm...
-Oldbag
Whippersnapper!
-
(Hey, I haven't said
anything yet!)
-Oldbag
I'll have you know I'm not
pointing fingers at anyone
behind their backs!
-Oldbag
Everything I've said is on
the straight and narrow!
The up and up!
-Oldbag
Youth today! Always whining
about each other, pointing
fingers this way and that!
-Oldbag
It's enough to make an old
lady want to cry...
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright!
-Edgeworth
Please, for all our sakes,
try not to upset the witness!
-
(I think Edgeworth has
met his match...)
(2)
-Oldbag
That morning, during the
run-through of the action
scene...
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
Who was present at
the run-through?
-Oldbag
Well, let's see...
There was Powers, he's
the Steel Samurai...
-Oldbag
Then poor old Hammer,
the Evil Magistrate.
-Oldbag
And... me.
-Judge
And what exactly were you
doing?
-Oldbag
Observing! Just... observing.
-
What about the assistant?
-Oldbag
Oh, she was off moving
backdrops around and such.
-
(So she didn't see the
run-through, then...)
(3)
-Oldbag
I saw Powers trip and fall!
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
"Trip and fall"...?
-Oldbag
Yes! And to think, he's
supposed to be the Steel
Samurai! What a laugh!
-Oldbag
So Powers sprained
his ankle.
-Oldbag
I helped make it better
for him, of course.
-Judge
You... helped make it better?
-Oldbag
I kissed it where it hurt.
-Judge
L-let's just skip over
that part, shall we?
-
Where was the assistant then?
-Oldbag
Oh, her? She was cleaning
up backdrops, I think.
-Oldbag
She didn't know about
Powers's ankle.
-
(Hmm...)
-Edgeworth
You may continue your
testimony.
(4)
-Oldbag
He broke one of the props,
it was a big mess.
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
He broke a prop?
-Oldbag
Sure did!
His own Samurai Spear.
-
(His Samurai Spear...
the murder weapon!?)
-Oldbag
Luckily I was there with
my duct tape to fix it.
-
(This strikes me as a
significant detail...)
CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
-
(I'd better write this
down in the Court Record.)
Samurai Spear updated
in the Court Record.
(5)
-Oldbag
Apparently, he sprained
his ankle pretty bad.
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
Was Mr. Power's ankle
badly sprained?
-Oldbag
Not so bad that he
couldn't walk around.
-Oldbag
He went to his dressing
room to rest up after
lunch.
-
(Thus the nap...)
-Oldbag
Anyway, I saw him dragging
his foot when he walked.
-
(Dragging his foot... okay.)
(6)
-Oldbag
You can see he's dragging
his leg! See? Clear as day!
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
Are you absolutely sure?
(Let's take a look at
that picture again...)
-
(Hmm... so he was walking
strangely because he was
injured...)
-Judge
Hmm. It does look like
he was dragging his foot.
-Oldbag
See! And you didn't trust
me! Whippersnapper!
(7)
-Oldbag
That's how I knew it
was Powers. Happy?
-
*HOLD IT!*
-
Still, you can't look at
this and say it's Mr. Powers!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Yes, but only Mr. Powers
would have been dragging
his leg!
-Judge
He has a point. It does seem
quite likely that it was
Powers.
-
(There's got to be more to
this. I'd better keep
pressing her.)
-Maya
Well, Nick? Find any
glaring contradictions?
-
Well, she seems pretty
sure that was Powers in
that photo...
-
I guess I'll just press
her and see if I can
shake her conviction...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER PRESSING FOR A WHILE
-Edgeworth
I think we've heard enough!
-Edgeworth
Haven't we, Your Honor?
-Judge
Well, there is one thing
that bothers me.
-Edgeworth
Which is?
-Judge
Where is this "Steel Samurai"
costume now?
-Edgeworth
Umm... hmm.
-Edgeworth
Actually, well...
We couldn't find it.
-Edgeworth
We're looking, though.
-Judge
Hmm...
-Edgeworth
Anyway, that's not important!
-Edgeworth
The witness did see
the Steel Samurai, yes.
-Edgeworth
And it is clear that the
person in the Steel Samurai
suit was Mr. Will Powers!
-Judge
Hmm... I suppose that's right.
-
(Are you sure you're
sure, Your Honor?)

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

* It was the assistant!

* The Steel Samurai costume

* dragging his foot!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh.
* (Uh oh. Bad feeling time.)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Remember the testimony

*
* -Oldbag
* Powers and poor Hammer
* were at the run-through.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, and me.
*
* -Phoenix
* What about the assistant?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, her? She was cleaning
* up backdrops, I think.
*
* -Oldbag
* She didn't know about
* Powers's ankle.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The assistant knew nothing

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

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

* Ungh!

* For one thing, it was

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

***Give granny a break**********************

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

********************************************
-Phoenix
The very same reasoning that
makes Mr. Powers a suspect
in this case...
-Phoenix
can be used to cast doubt
on Ms. Oldbag's actions on
that day!
-Oldbag
B-but why would I do something
so horrible to poor Hammer!?
-Phoenix
You forget that Mr. Powers
lacks a clear motive, too.
-Judge
Hmm...
Indeed.
-Phoenix
(That did it. Now windbag
is one of the suspects.)
-Phoenix
(No hard feelings...
I hope.)
-Oldbag
Wait just a minute!
-Oldbag
What about the other person
who went to the studio!?
-Oldbag
The boy! The one whose
photo I erased!
-Judge
He's only a grade schooler
though, as you said.
2nd or 3rd grade, was it?
-Oldbag
Th-that doesn't matter!
-Oldbag
When I was that age, I could
pin my old man in 10 seconds,
tops!
-Judge
Hmm...
Your thoughts, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
That boy is not the killer.
-Oldbag
What!?
How can you be so sure!
-Oldbag
Oh, or is it be nice to the
kids and mean to your elders
day? Whippersnapper!
-Phoenix
I have proof.
-Oldbag
P-proof!?
-Judge
Indeed? Then let's
see this proof, Mr. Wright.
-Judge
You have proof that shows
the boy could not have
committed this murder?
***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* This is my proof!
*
* -Judge

*
* -Judge
* I can't see how that has
* anything to do with this
* matter, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* There aren't that many
* pieces of evidence in
* the Court Record.
*
* -Judge
* Please try not to pick

*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
*
* -Judge
* I'll ask again, Mr. Wright.
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
The murder weapon was
the Samurai Spear.
-Phoenix
That very spear is shown
here in this photo.
-Phoenix
How could the boy have taken
the spear? It's impossible!
-Judge
I see!
-Judge
Well, would the witness
care to comment on this?
-Oldbag
Mrph.
-Phoenix
(The windbag... speechless.
This has got to be a first.)
-Judge
Very well!
-Judge
This court will suspend
proceedings on the current
trial for today.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, please find out
more about your witness, Ms.
Windy... what was her name?
-Edgeworth
Something "Oldbag," Your
Honor.
-Judge
Then the prosecution will
look further into this
Oldbag before we continue!
-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Oldbag
W-wait a second!
-Oldbag
I'm not going to just sit
here while you run off barking
up the wrong tree... me!
-Oldbag
I'm talking!
-Maya
Oh, great, stop the presses!
The windbag wants to talk!
-Judge
Ms. Oldbag!
What is this all about?
-Judge
Have you omitted something
from your testimony?
-Oldbag
Actually, if you must know,
there's something I was told
not to talk about.
-Phoenix
N-not to talk about?
-Edgeworth
By whom!?
-Phoenix
(Huh? You mean it wasn't
Edgeworth who told her not
to talk...?)
-Judge
W-well, testify!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- My Lips Were Sealed --
(1)
-Oldbag
Global Studios wanted me to
keep quiet about something.
(2)
-Oldbag
There were... some other
people at the studios on
the day of the murder.
(3)
-Oldbag
They said they had "nothing
to do with it," see?
(4)
-Oldbag
So they told me to just
pretend they "hadn't been
at the studios that day."
(5)
-Oldbag
But if you're going to go
accusing me, I'm not letting
them get away scot free!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
M-Ms. Oldbag!
-Judge
This is crucial information!
Why did you keep this from
the court until now!?
-Oldbag
Ain't you been listening?
-Oldbag
They told me to shut my
trap, and I always do what
I'm told.
-Judge
...
-Phoenix
(No, this isn't a bad dream,
Your Honor. Witness the power
of the Oldbag...)
-Judge
Mr. Wright...
Your cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- My Lips Were Sealed --
(1)
-Oldbag
Global Studios wanted me to
keep quiet about something.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So, you were told
not to talk?
-Oldbag
That's right! By the studio
and TV bigwigs, no less!
-Edgeworth
Why didn't I hear about this!?
-Oldbag
Don't be too hard on yourself,
sonny. We were all in on it.
(2)
-Oldbag
There were... some other
people at the studios on
the day of the murder.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
W-who were these people!?
-Oldbag
Well, the director and
the producer, for starters...
-Phoenix
The... director?
-Edgeworth
We should have known
something was fishy!
-Edgeworth
How could they have done a
run-through of their action
scene without a director?
-Edgeworth
Of course!
-Oldbag
Yes, well, I was surprised
no one asked about it.
-Phoenix
So, where were these people?
-Oldbag
The director was in the
Employee Area all morning
for the run-through.
-Oldbag
He joined the producer around
lunchtime and they had a
meeting after that.
-Edgeworth
Where!
-Oldbag
Oh, in the Studio Two trailer.
-Phoenix
S-Studio Two...!?
(There was a Studio Two...?)
-Oldbag
Well, if you look at
the guidemap...
-Oldbag
Here it is.
-Oldbag
You go through the gate
and all the way to the left.
-Phoenix
(The path where the monkey's
head was fallen over.)
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright...
Would you like to continue
the cross-examination...?

all my questions, but...)

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

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

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

For an old windbag, she sure
likes keeping secrets...

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

I understand, Your Honor.

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

-Maya
No one's here.
-Phoenix
Right, now that they have
Ms. Oldbag in custody.
-Phoenix
I guess they don't have anyone
else to replace her...
-Maya
H-hey! In the guard station!
Look! She left her donuts!
-Maya
...
-Maya
...
-Maya
What?
I wasn't going to eat them!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine guard station********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The security guard station.
*
* -Phoenix
* Ms. Oldbag must like junk
* food. There's a mountain
* of it on the desk in there.
*
********************************************
***Examine computer*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The computer that runs the
* studio security cameras.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? It looks like it's
* been turned off for the day.
*
********************************************
***Examine main gate************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The main entrance
* to the studios.
*
* -Phoenix
* They probably have a police
* officer on patrol out there.

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

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

October 18
Studio Two Entrance
-Maya
This... is Studio Two?
-Phoenix
I thought so...
-Maya
It doesn't really look
much like a "studio,"
does it?
-Phoenix
No, that it does not.
-Maya
Hey...
There's a trailer over there.
-Phoenix
It looks pretty sturdy
for a movie set trailer.
-Maya
Are we sure this is
a studio?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine van******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A light van for moving
* staff and equipment around.
*
* -Phoenix
* They've kept it in pretty
* good shape. Looks like it'd
* run fine.
*
* -Maya
* Well, let's go for a drive!
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure... if I had a license.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! You don't have
* a driver's license!?
*
* -Phoenix
* But, look, I have this!
*
* -Maya
* Why are you showing me
* your attorney's badge, Nick?
*
********************************************
***Examine incinerator**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* An incinerator. Apparently
* they just put this one in.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's already covered in soot.
* They must not clean it much.
*
********************************************
***Examine "2"******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a big "2" painted
* here.
*
* -Maya
* Probably because this
* is Studio Two?
*
* -
* Probably...
* Though it doesn't look
* anything like a studio.
*
********************************************
***Examine table****************************
*
* -
* Looks like two people
* ate here.
*
* -
* There's nothing left
* on the plates.
*
* -Maya
* Hey, so they ate t-bone
* steaks too.
*
* -
* What is it with
* steaks around here?
*
* -Maya
* Hey! There's always room
* for steak!
*
* -Maya
* But... something does
* seem out of place...
*
* -Phoenix
* What?
*
* -Maya
* I... don't know. It just
* feels "odd."
*
********************************************
***Examine storage materials****************
*
* -Phoenix
* These look like materials
* for making a movie set.
*
* -Maya
* They've been sitting here
* for quite some time.
*
* -Maya
* This might as well
* be a junkyard.
*
********************************************
***Examine garden***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There're some flowers here.
*
* -Maya
* Wow, so pretty!
* They're taking good care
* of these.
*
* -Phoenix
* Don't get to close. That
* fence looks dangerous.
*
********************************************
***Examine trailer**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* On closer inspection, this
* trailer looks like it's been
* here for a while.
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't think this is part
* of some temporary film set.
*
********************************************
***Examine trailer door*********************
*
* -Maya
* Nick! Let's go inside!
*
* -Phoenix
* You think it's okay...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh well.
* It's locked.

* -Maya
* Aww... shucks.

Look, it's that assistant
girl.
-Maya
Hey!
-Penny
Hi... WP's lawyers, right?
-Penny
I heard about the trial!
Great job, guys!
-Phoenix
Oh? Oh hoh hoh.
Don't mention it.
-Penny
Is it true they caught
the security lady!?
-Phoenix
Oh! Oh... oh hoh hoh!
-Penny
Actually, she just
called me.
-Penny
She told me to cover
up that drain...
-Phoenix
You mean that one?
-Phoenix
(Wow, what a mess...)
-Penny
I... I know...
-Penny
I'm not so good with
handiwork. Some
assistant, right?
-Maya
Yeah, but you do work on
the props, and the back-
drops, right?
-Penny
R-right.
-Penny
Just... lots of times they
end up looking worse than
they did before I fixed them.
-Maya
Oh? Oh! Well, I'm sure these
things happen. Nothing to
worry yourself about!
-Penny
You're right!
I won't!
-Phoenix
(Personally, I think she
should worry at least
a little bit more...)
-Penny
Um, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go to the
guard station.
-Penny
I'm supposed to fill
in for Ms. Oldbag.
Maya
Right! See you later, then!
-Penny
Good luck with your
investigation.

***Examine nearest table********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The remains of yesterday's

*
* -Phoenix
* There's a t-bone on one of

*
* -Phoenix
* H-hey! We're not thieves!

*

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

* I was expecting some cool

* Popcorn, at least!

* W-wait! Look!

***Examine fixed grate**********************
*
* -Maya
* So, the fanboy they were
* talking about in the trial
* today...
*
* -Maya
* He came in through

*
* -Phoenix
* So it seems.
* I guess they covered
* it up in a hurry.
*
* -Maya
* Hey...
* Hey, Nick!
*
* -Maya
* If that drain's covered,
* the boy won't be able to
* get in.
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh, yeah. I think that
* was the idea...?
*
* -Maya
* I feel kinda sorry
* for him, though.
* Don't you?
*
* -Phoenix
* What, you want to

*
* -Maya
* Really, Nick?
* We can!?

* -Phoenix
* (Whoa... she's serious?

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Nah, I think we should

This is where the Steel
Samurai costume was,

That's what Mr. Powers

I guess they snuck in and
took it while he was sleeping.

But Nick, what if Mr. Powers

I wonder what the killer

Huh...

-Mia
Maya has trouble calling me
unless she's really in
trouble.
-Phoenix
Right! Oh, wait. I guess
that means we're really
in trouble.
-Mia
I'd say so.
-Phoenix
What did you mean, we
have one lead...?
-Mia
The boy, of course.
-Cody
Yeah, I saw 'em.
I saw everything!
-Maya
What!?
-Cody
But...but no way am
I telling you losers!
-Phoenix
I dunno. He didn't sound
like he was going to help
us at all.
-Mia
I'm sure you can find
some way of bringing
him over to your side.
-Mia
Either way, we should
get back to the studios.
-Mia
That boy is our last
hope, Phoenix.
-Phoenix
(Thanks, now I'm more
worried than I was before...)

* It looks incredibly fake,

*
********************************************
***Examine cameras**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A collection of expensive
* film equipment.

*
* -Phoenix
* If we broke one, we'd go

********************************************
***Examine "2"******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a big "2" painted

* This poster looks like it's

*
* -Mia
* This is one of Maya's

*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe we should replace

* with this one?
*
* -Mia
* That... would be
* kind of sad.
*
********************************************
***Examine left poster**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Another old movie poster.
* "'The Singing Samurai'

*
* -Phoenix
* What the hell do samurai

*
* -Mia
* It's a samurai musical

*
* -Phoenix
* A s-samurai musical?

* Are all the posters on the
* wall here of Hammer?
*
* -Penny
* Yes. It's really a terrible
* loss for the studios.
*
* -Phoenix
* But... his popularity had
* been waning recently, right?
*
* -Penny
* That's true.
*
* -Penny
* Then again, after what
* happened...
*
* -Phoenix
* After WHAT happened?
*
* -Penny
* Y-you mean, you don't know
* about Hammer...?
*
* -Phoenix
* No, what?
*
* -Penny
* I-I'm sorry.
*
* -Penny
* I shouldn't have said
* anything.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "What happened?"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait, now you have to
* tell me. What happened
* with Hammer?
*
* -Penny
* I-I'm sorry.
*
* -Penny
* I'm probably not the one
* who should tell you.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Uh oh. Why do I get the
* feeling something's being
* covered up here?)

* -Cody
* I'll give you a "Samurai
* Spear" and throw in an
* "Evil Magistrate" to boot!!

* -Phoenix
* No no no no... not that

*
* -Phoenix
* I don't want cards.
* I want information.
*
* -Cody
* Huh? You sure?
* Fine by me!
*
* Gave URP Card to Cody.

***Talk about "The Steel Samurai"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* So... you like the Steel
* Samurai.
*
* -Cody
* He's so cool!
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I guess.
*
* -Cody
* You're judging him by his
* looks! You have to look at
* his actions, at his life!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'm being lectured on life
* by a grade schooler...)
*
* -Cody
* You like him too, don'tcha?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh... Oh, me? Y-yeah!

*
* ***His kind nature**************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * R-right...
* * (C'mon, think of something!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I really like his, um, his
* * kind nature. What a guy!
* *
* * -Cody
* * Totally!
* *
* * -Cody
* * He looks so tough, but
* * inside, he's as gentle
* * as a kitten!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Yeah...
* *
* * -Cody
* * So, what else do you
* * like about him?

* * up in public...?)
* *

* *

* * A-actually, I'm kind of
* * a fan of Will Powers...
* *
* * -Cody

* * hard-core!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (You're calling ME hard-core?)

*
* -Cody
* Well, yeah! Duh!
* He's so strong!
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I guess.
*
* -Cody
* You're judging him by his

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

*
* -Mia
* Cody.
*
* -Cody
* !
*
* -Mia
* Cody, he needs to know because
* he's fighting for justice.
*
* -Mia
* Isn't that the Steel Samurai's
* motto? "For great justice"?
*
* -Mia
* You have to help us fight
* for great justice, too.
*
* -Cody
* I...
* I saw...
*
* -Cody
* I saw everything!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Well, well...
* We might get some useful
* information out of him yet.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "What you saw"****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Cody... I need to ask
* you something very
* important.
*
* -Phoenix
* What did you see on the
* day of the incident?
*
* -Cody
* ...
*
* -Cody
* I got here that day
* around 2:00...
*
* -Cody
* I had to come in through
* the woods out back so that
* old lady wouldn't see me.
*
* -Cody
* I got kinda lost, though.
* I was in there for maybe
* a half hour or so.
*
* -Cody
* Then I finally got
* to the studio.
*
* -Cody
* After that...
*
* -Mia
* What is it, Cody?
*
* -Cody
* Th-the Steel Samurai killed
* the bad guy!
*
* -Cody
* He used his Samurai Spear!
* Just like always! One shot,
* one kill!
*
* -Cody
* It happened so fast...
* I got scared.
*
* -Cody
* I went home after that.
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I see.
* It must have been hard
* for you.
*
* -Cody
* Man, you say those nice things
* but it's so obvious you aren't
* speaking from the heart.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Umm... right.)
* Mia?
*
* -Mia
* Yes?
*
* -Phoenix
* I think we can say for sure
* this means the Steel Samurai
* did it.
*
* -Mia
* True enough.
*
* -Phoenix
* And the director has an
* alibi, so it wasn't him.
*
* -Mia
* Indeed.
*
* -Phoenix
* So... the only person left
* who it could have been is
* Will Powers!
*
* -Mia
* ...
*
* -Mia
* I have to admit, it's kind
* of a shock.
*
* -Mia
* But if you put this boy on
* the witness stand, your client
* will be "guilty" for sure.
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's not call him then...
*
* -Mia
* I think that would be wise.
* Best to leave this one alone.
*
* -???
* Not so fast, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* I heard everything!
*
* -Gumshoe
* This boy here's
* a key witness!
*
* -Gumshoe
* And he's under police
* protection, starting now!
*
* -Gumshoe
* C'mon, son.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You've got a rendezvous
* with me down at the precinct!
*
* -Cody
* No! I ain't going!
*
* -Cody
* Waah!
*
* -Mia
* ...
*
* -Mia
* That didn't go so well.
*
* -Mia
* We're back to zero leads.
*
* -Mia
* And now we have a serious
* handicap in court.
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what're we going to do, Mia!
*
* -Mia
* Well, hmm...
*
* -Mia
* I... really need to be going.
*
* -Mia
* Don't worry, Phoenix.
* I'm sure you'll be fine!
*
* -Phoenix
* Whoa whoa whoa!
*
* -Phoenix
* C-come to the trial
* tomorrow, please!
* I need you there!
*
* -Mia
* Phoenix, can I ask you
* something?
*
* -Mia
* Do you really believe
* that Mr. Powers is innocent?
*
* ***I believe********************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Of course he is!
* *
* * -Mia
* * ...
* *
* * -Mia
* * That's all I wanted to hear.
* *
* * -Mia
* * Excellent.
* * I'll see you in court, then.
* *
* * CONTINUE
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***I don't know*****************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I never expected things to
* * go this badly for Powers's
* * case...)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I'm not sure we can
* * win this one.)
* *
* * -Mia
* * Phoenix?
* *
* * -Mia
* * If you don't believe

* *
* * -Phoenix

October 19, 9:42 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1
-Will
...
-Will
...
-Will
Umm... Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes?
-Will
Why do you look
so... unhappy?
-Phoenix
O-oh! Oh, nothing!
Eh heh heh.
-Phoenix
Really, it's nothing.
-Phoenix
Right, Mia?
-Phoenix
(Uh oh. She looks even
unhappier...)
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Mia
Your client is now practically
a dead man walking...
-Mia
Perhaps that's why I feel
particularly close to him.
-Phoenix
This is no time for dead-
people jokes, please.
-Mia
You know we're going into this
trial utterly defenseless.
-Mia
Yet, if Mr. Powers is
truly innocent...
-Mia
We should be able to find
something overlooked in the
evidence to prove it.
-Phoenix
Something "overlooked"...?
-Mia
We have to find something,
Phoenix, today.
-Mia
It's that, or lose the trial.
-Phoenix
(This isn't going to be easy.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 19, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Will Powers.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.
-Edgeworth
An unexpected fact has come
to the attention of the court.
-Edgeworth
Yesterday, we learned that
there were other people
present at the studios!
-Edgeworth
Today, I would like to show
evidence proving they had
nothing to do with the murder.
-Judge
Very well.
-Judge
You may call your first
witness, Mr. Edgeworth.
-Phoenix
(I wonder if that producer
is going to come out...)
-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls
Mr. Sal Manella to the stand.
-Phoenix
(... or that director.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Will the witness state
his name and profession?
-Manella
...
-Manella
How r00d can j00 get!
-Manella
J00 don't know ME!?
-Manella
I'm the director! I make
the Steel Samurai, n00b! ROFL!
-Edgeworth
...
-Manella
S... Sal Manella.
I'm a director.
Television.
-Judge
Were you at Global Studios
on the day of the murder?
-Manella
Y-yes, Your Honor.
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Very well. Please testify
to the court about the
events of that day.
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Mia
Let's start by picking this
testimony apart.
-Mia
If Powers is innocent,
you know what that means.
-Mia
Someone in the trailer
on that day did it!
-Phoenix
R-right.
(She doesn't waste any time
putting on the pressure!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Day of the Murder --
(1)
-Manella
I was at the studios from
around 9:00 that morning.
(2)
-Manella
During the morning, I was
doing... umm... an action
scene run-through.
(3)
-Manella
It took a lot more time
than I thought it would.
(4)
-Manella
I hear that everyone else
ate lunch in the Employee
Area...
(5)
-Manella
But I had a meeting in the
Studio Two trailer, so I ended
up skipping lunch.
(6)
-Manella
We were in the meeting
until around 4:00...
(7)
-Manella
During the meeting, well,
I'm pretty sure no one
left their chairs.
-Manella
That's about it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
The time of Mr. Hammer's
death was 2:30 PM.
-Judge
And according to your
testimony, you were in
a meeting at that time.
-Judge
Mr. Wright, you may begin
your cross-examination.
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Day of the Murder --
(1)
-Manella
I was at the studios from
around 9:00 that morning.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Is that when you always
come in to work?
-Manella
Oh, oh no. I come in all
sort of hours. It's the
"industry" way.
-Phoenix
(Yeah, I know all about
the freaks in your
"industry"...)
-Manella
Still, FWIW, I was pretty
busy all that day. :(
-Edgeworth
Tell us more about that.
(2)
-Manella
During the morning, I was
doing... umm... an action
scene run-through.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
In the Employee Area?
-Manella
That's right.
-Manella
It was a fight scene between
the Steel Samurai and the
Evil Magistrate.
-Phoenix
Was anyone else at
the run-through?
-Manella
Oh, yeah. That security lady
was sitting there watching
the whole thing. LOL.
-Manella
She was cheering on Hammer,
if you can believe it.
-Phoenix
(She certainly has the
lungs for it...)
-Phoenix
Anyone else?
-Manella
Nope, just us four.
(3)
-Manella
It took a lot more time
than I thought it would.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why did it go on so long?
-Manella
Um, I'm pretty sure j00've
already heard about this...
-Manella
But WP twisted his ankle
during the run-through, see...
-Phoenix
(Oh, right, thus the limp.)
-Manella
Which of course lef to me
missing my lunch. ROFS!
-Phoenix
(ROFS? Rolling on the Floor...
Starving?)
(4)
-Manella
I hear that everyone else
ate lunch in the Employee
Area...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What exactly did they
have for lunch?
-Manella
T-bone steak!
The assistant cooked some up.
-Phoenix
(Come to think of it, there
was a plate with some bones
on it in the Employee Area.)
-Edgeworth
"Everyone else" meaning
that the witness did not
eat with them.
(5)
-Manella
But I had a meeting in the
Studio Two trailer, so I ended
up skipping lunch.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So, in the end, you didn't
get to eat?
-Manella
Yeah. No steak, at least!
Can j00 believe it?
-Phoenix
That must have been tough.
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Phoenix
Yeah?
-Mia
Doesn't something about
that seem odd to you?
***Not at all*******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, no, not really.
* Seems pretty straightforward.
*
* -Mia
* Oh. Perhaps I was wrong, then.
*
********************************************
***It's a little vague**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Actually, there is something
* bothering me.
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Manella, just now you
* said "steak, at least."
*
* -Phoenix
* So you ate something
* other than steak?
*
* -Manella
* Yeah, good call!
*
* -Manella
* I had some chocolate in
* my pocket, which I used to
* stave off starvation!
*
* -Phoenix
* I see...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Is that all? I was sure
* I was on to something there.)
*
********************************************
***It's contradictory***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, it does seem odd,
* now that you mention it.
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Manella!
*
* -Manella
* H-hmm?
* W-what do j00 mean? *sweats*
*
* -Phoenix
* When I went to that trailer,
* I saw something on the table.
*
* -Phoenix
* There were two plates on the
* table--the same kind of plates
* as in the Employee Area.
*
* -Phoenix
* Who ate lunch there?
*
* -Manella
* M-mmpf!
*
* -Manella
* No, er, ah, um, eh
* heh. Good call! *sweats*
*
* -Manella
* I, er, I was embarrassed so
* I didn't mention it...
*
* -Manella
* But I did eat, after all.
*
* -Phoenix
* A t-bone steak, you mean?
*
* -Manella
* Yeah, well, I mean the
* assistant went through
* all that trouble...
*
* -Manella
* I brought it to the trailer
* thinking I could eat it later.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Clearly a man who likes
* to eat. I'd suspected
* as much...)
*
* -Phoenix
* So, when exactly did
* you eat it?
*
* -Manella
* We took one break during
* that meeting.
*
* -Manella
* I, er, wolfed it down then.
* *drool*
*
* -Phoenix
* (A mental image I will carry
* with me to my grave...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait a second...!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (If they took a break in that
* meeting, that contradicts
* his testimony!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'll press on that one
* a bit more...)
*
* SWITCH PRESS #7 TO VERSION 2
*
********************************************
(6)
-Manella
We were in the meeting
until around 4:00...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What were you discussing?
-Manella
The Steel Samurai story,
and our budget.
-Manella
Get this! The sponsors turn
to me and say, "Mr. Manella."
-Manella
"Those scripts of yours are
not appropriate for children."
Can j00 believe it!?
-Phoenix
(Actually, I kind of can.)
-Phoenix
So, nobody left the table
during the whole meeting?
(7)
-Manella
During the meeting, well,
I'm pretty sure no one
left their chairs.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You didn't take a single
break?
-Manella
Er... well...
-Manella
Y-yeah!
Not a one! *sweats*
-Phoenix
(Hmm... what's he sweating
so much about, I wonder?)
-Phoenix
(If only I had an idea...)
VERSION 1
-Phoenix
(I'll wait for one to come
up and hit him with it
later.)
VERSION 2
-Phoenix
(Wait a second...)
-Phoenix
(Maybe I do have an idea!)
***Press harder*****************************
*
* END CROSS-EXAMINATION
*
********************************************
***Leave him be*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (No, on second thought,
* I'm drawing a blank.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (If I press too hard in the
* wrong place, I'll just end
* up scaring him into silence.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maybe I'll just sit back
* and see what happens.)
*
********************************************
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Mia
If his alibi holds,
Powers is finished.
-Mia
Press him as hard as
you can and find out
where he's lying!
-Phoenix
R-right!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
Wait a second!
-Phoenix
Mr. Manella, you've just
contradicted yourself!
-Phoenix
Didn't you just tell the court
that you ate that t-bone
steak during a break?
-Manella
Oops! ROFL!
-Phoenix
Well?
-Manella
Umm...
-Judge
Mr. Manella, what's this
all about?
-Manella
W-well, yeah, I guess
we did take a little break.
-Mia
Phoenix!
Great job!
-Mia
If they took a break, one
of them could have gone to
the studio during that time!
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
I call on the witness to
testify to the court about
this break!
-Judge
Very well.
-Judge
Mr. Manella, your
testimony, please.
-Manella
Urk!
-Edgeworth
Heh heh heh...
-Phoenix
(Uh oh. Edgeworth is
laughing...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Break --
(1)
-Manella
Yeah, FWIW, we took a break...
ROFL!
(2)
-Manella
But it was only 15 minutes!
15! That's only 13 in Base 12!
(3)
-Manella
Not enough time for someone
to, say, commit murder in
Studio One! LOL!
(4)
-Manella
That's only just enough time
to eat a t-bone steak, if
you ask me! *steams*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
I don't think it would even
be enough time for that,
but that's just me.
-Judge
Very well. You may begin
the cross-examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Break --
(1)
-Manella
Yeah, FWIW, we took a break...
ROFL!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What time exactly did you
take this break?
-Manella
Hmm...
-Manella
I'd say it was from around
2:30 or so untl 2:45.
-Phoenix
(2:30!!!)
-Phoenix
(That's the time of death!)
-Phoenix
(So he could have gone to
Studio One, killed Hammer,
and come back...)
-Phoenix
(I guess it's possible,
time-wise...)
-Edgeworth

-Manella
But it was only 15 minutes!
15! That's only 13 in Base 12!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What were you doing for
those 15 minutes?
-Manella
Eating my t-bone steak!
What else!?
-Phoenix
There were two plates on
the trailer table...?
-Manella
Oh, right. The other one
was Diva's... sorry, Dee
Vasquez's plate.
-Phoenix
(Dee Vasquez... the producer.)
-Edgeworth
To eat a t-bone steak in
15 minutes... that's quite
a feat.
(3)
-Manella
Not enough time for someone
to, say, commit murder in
Studio One! LOL!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why is that?
END CROSS-EXAMINATION
(4)
-Manella
That's only just enough time
to eat a t-bone steak, if
you ask me! *steams*
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
I have to say, you look like
a guy who gets through his
meals pretty fast.
-Manella
Well, I was facing a cold,
slightly chewy t-bone steak...
-Manella
Even I have to take my time
eating that kind of food. LOL
-Mia
Well, Phoenix?
-Phoenix
That testimony was too short
to wring any kind of useful
information out of!
-Mia
All you have to do is prove
that he was able to go to
Studio One in that time!
-Phoenix
(Oh, great. Is that all...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Haven't we had enough of this
pointless line of questioning?
-Edgeworth
Your Honor!
-Edgeworth
The testimony to this point
has made one certain fact
painfully clear:
-Edgeworth
The people in the trailer
had nothing to do with this
murder!
-Edgeworth
It was impossible for any
of them to go to Studio One!
-Phoenix
What!?
-Edgeworth
Something wrong, Mr. Wright?
-Edgeworth
Surely you aren't suggesting
one of the people in the
trailer went to Studio One!
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
-Mia
Phoenix, this is critical!
-Mia
Think about it before
you give your answer!
-Judge
Do you claim someone from the
trailer went to Studio One?
***I claim it, and claim it loud************
*
* -Phoenix
* (If I agree to let everyone
* in that trailer off the hook
* then the trial is over...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Mr. Powers will be
* found guilty for sure!)
*
* -Phoenix
* The victim was murdered
* at 2:30, the exact time
* of the break in the meeting.
*
* -Phoenix
* With 15 minutes, murder
* is certainly a possibility!
*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
*
* -Judge
* I suppose you might
* say that...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Alright, I've got the judge
* thinking now!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk, tsk, tsk...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Never a dull moment with
* you, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* What's your point, Edgeworth!
*
* -Edgeworth
* You've been doing your
* homework, haven't you?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Look at the Court Record.
*
* -Phoenix
* The Court Record...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Surely, you knew that from
* 2:15 to 4:00 the path between
* the studios was blocked?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mrs. Monkey's head had
* fallen across the path!
*
* -Phoenix
* Whoa! You're right!
*
* -Edgeworth
* True, the break in the trailer
* meeting came right at the
* time of death...
*
* -Edgeworth
* However!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The path from there to
* the scene of the crime
* was blocked!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The fallen Mrs. Monkey head
* barred the way!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (It's actually "Mr. Monkey,"
* but Edgeworth has a point...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (And somehow, I feel no
* desire to correct him.)
*
* -Judge
* No counter-argument,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Judge
* Then I'm afraid you lose
* this round.
*
********************************************
***No, it's impossible**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I don't want to write off
* so many possible suspects...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But I can't keep claiming
* the impossible, either...)
*
* -Phoenix
* I agree that it was impossible
* for anyone in the trailer to
* go to the studio in that time.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ha hah!
*
* -Edgeworth
* I thought you might be
* thoughtlessly treading on
* thin ice again!
*
* -Edgeworth
* But I see you had at least
* an inkling of the truth.
*
* -Judge
* What do you mean,
* Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's quite simple...
*
* -Edgeworth
* True, the break in the trailer
* meeting came right at the
* time of death...
*
* -Edgeworth
* However!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The path from there to
* the scene of the crime
* was blocked!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The fallen Mrs. Monkey head
* barred the way!
*
* -Edgeworth
* At around 2:15, a strong
* gust of wind knocked off
* the studio mascot's head.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ergo!
*
* -Edgeworth
* When the people in the trailer
* took a break at 2:30, the
* way to the studio was blocked.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Blocked... by Mrs. Monkey's
* severed head!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (It's actually "Mr. Monkey,"
* but Edgeworth has a point...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (And somehow, I feel no
* desire to correct him.)

********************************************
-Edgeworth
I believe we have seen
enough evidence.
-Edgeworth
I would like to relieve
Mr. Manella from the stand.
-Phoenix
(Wh-what? It's over?)
-Judge
Very well.
The court's opinion on this
case is as follows:
-Judge
We have found that there were
several other people in Studio
2 on the day of the murder.
-Judge
However, it is also clear that
none of these people could
have gone to Studio One.
-Judge
They therefore have no
relation to this case.
-Jduge
Furthermore, with regards
to the photo of the Steel
Samurai...
-Judge
Given the size of the costume,
no one other than Mr. Powers
could have worn it that day.
-Judge
All that is lacking is
decisive evidence that
he is the one who did it.
-Judge
If we had that, I'm afraid
I would have to find Mr.
Powers guilty.
-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is pleased to
announce that we indeed have
decisive evidence: a witness.
-Judge
Who is this witness,
Mr. Edgeworth?
-Edgeworth
My witness saw the very
moment when the Steel Samurai
skewered the victim!
-Judge
Order! I will have order!
-Judge
I see.
-Judge
The court will take a 10
minute recess, after which we
will hear your witness.
-Judge
Court is adjourned for
recess!

Defendant Lobby No. 1
-Mia
...
-Phoenix
What do we do now, Mia?
-Phoenix
If everyone in that trailer
has an alibi...
-Mia
...
-Mia
I'm sorry, Phoenix.
-Mia
I guess I was wrong.
-Phoenix
M-Mia!
-Phoenix
Don't tell me you're giving
up! If you give up, what
hope do I have...?
-Mia
...
-Mia
Don't get me wrong.
-Mia
I've never given up on a trial
before, not while there was
a chance.
-Mia
Only one thing became clear
in your cross-examination.
-Mia
The people in the trailer
could not have gone to
Studio One.
-Mia
I thought there was more
to it than that...
-Mia
But I was wrong.
-Mia
That's all there is.
-Will
Umm...
-Will
Er...
What's going to happen to me?
-Will
It kinda seems like everyone
in that courtroom thinks
I did it...
-Will
They think I'm a murderer!
-Mia
Don't worry, Mr. Powers.
-Mia
If you are innocent, we will
prove it. I guarantee it.
-Mia
Leave it to us, and... be
yourself. Be strong.
-Mia
You are the Steel Samurai,
hero to children everywhere,
after all.
-Will
I...
-Will
You...
-Will
Thanks.
*sniff*
-Mia
Okay, Phoenix.
-Mia
This one's for the kids!
-Mia
Let's do it!

October 19, 11:15 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
-Judge
Court is back in session for
the trial of Mr. Will Powers.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution has a concern.
-Edgeworth
As our witness is a grade
schooler of tender years,
and this is a murder case...
-Edgeworth
We worry that the defense
might cause unnecessary trauma
with his cruel questioning!
-Phoenix
(Nice to see Edgeworth taking
the moral high ground...)
-Edgeworth
However, we have no choice.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls
Cody Hackins to the stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
Perhaps you could arrange
a box for him to stand on?
-Judge
Oh, r-right.
-Judge
Guard, please bring him a box.
One of those donut crates
should do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Will the witness state his
name and grade in school.
-Cody
...
-Edgeworth
Witness!
-Cody
What!? Just 'cause you're all
grown-up don't mean you can
push me around!
-Edgeworth
Mrph...
-Mia
Cody?
-Mia
Answer his question, okay?
-Cody
H-hey, it's you!
The nice lady!
-Cody
I'm Cody Hackins.
I'm in 2nd grade!
-Phoenx
(I get the feeling this is
going to be a long, long
day...)
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth.
-Judge
Please remember that you're
speaking to a child. Try to
be gentle.
-Edgeworth
M-mrrrrph!
-Edgeworth
Witness! Er, I mean,
Cody.
-Phoenix
(He's having trouble with
this "gentle" thing.)
-Edgeworth
You were present, er, you
were at Global Studios on the
day of the, er, incident?
-Cody
You got a problem with that!?
-Edgeworth
Please tell us what you
saw that day.
-Cody
What, pops? You want me to
tell you and gramps with
the beard over there?
-Edgeworth
Just.. Mr. Edgeworth will
be fine.
-Judge
I prefer "bearded gentleman"
myself.
-Phoenix
(A very long day...)
-Judge
Incidentally,
-Judge
photographic equipment is
strictly forbidden in this
courtroom.
-Edgeworth
M-mpht!
-Edgeworth
M-my apologies, Your Honor.
He said he wouldn't testify
if he couldn't bring it...
-Edgeworth
I'd like special permission,
if that's possible.
-Phoenix
Wait, so you're saying you had
to bargain terms with a kid...
and you LOST?
-Cody
Hey! I just got
this new camera!
-Cody
Don't really know how to
use it all that good yet!
-Cody
But I bring it with me
wherever I go!
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Mia
I wonder if he had that
camera on the day of the
murder...
-Mia
You'd better make a note of
it in the Court Record.
Cody's Camera added to
the Court Record.
-Judge
Very well, Cody.
-Judge
Please testify to the court
about what you saw the
day of the incident.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Cody
I wanted to see a Steel
Samurai rehearsal, just once.
(2)
-Cody
I found a map on the Internet,
and went to the studios that
day.
(3)
-Cody
I went through the woods
off the path, so that old
lady wouldn't catch me.
(4)
-Cody
I was going for the studio.
(5)
-Cody
I got kinda lost on the way,
though. For about 30 minutes.
(6)
-Cody
When I came out by the studio,
there was the Steel Samurai!
(7)
-Cody
It totally rocked!
Right before my eyes,
out came the bad guy!
(8)
-Cody
Of course, the Steel Samurai
took him down! Pow!
(9)
-Cody
If I had my camera with
me, that woulda been the
time for a shot, I tell you.
-Cody
Anyway, I couldn't get into
the studio, so I went home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Very well. The defense may
begin its cross-examination.
-Judge
And, be gentle. Remember
you're talking to a child.
-Cody
...
-Phoenix
(This kid is tougher than
most adults we see in here,
honestly...)

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --
(1)
-Cody
I wanted to see a Steel
Samurai rehearsal, just once.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You really like the Steel
Samurai, huh?
-Cody
Course I do!
-Cody
I've taped every show!
-Cody
And I go to all the live
performances!
-Phoenix
That's impressive.
-Phoenix
Have you been to the
amusement park?
-Cody
Course! Duh!
-Cody
My Dad always takes me!
-Phoenix
(Poor, poor Dad...)
(2)
-Cody
I found a map on the Internet,
and went to the studios that
day.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Was that day the first time
you'd been to the studio?
-Cody
Uh, actually I've been a
couple of times.
-Cody
I never manage to get
there on a rehearsal day!
-Cody
And that security lady's
always yelling...
-Edgeworth
Right, right.
Please continue.
-Cody
Chill, pops!
I'm getting to it!
-Cody
How am I supposed to talk
with you cuttin' me off
all the time? Geez!
-Edgeworth
...
(3)
-Cody
I went through the woods
off the path, so that old
lady wouldn't catch me.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Off the path"...?
-Cody
Yeah, you know how the
studios are in a valley
there?
-Cody
If you go off the path
a little, there's woods.
That's where I was!
-Phoenix
I see.
-Cody
Anyhow...
(4)
-Cody
I was going for the studio.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Did nothing unusual happen
on your way to the studio?
-Cody
"Unusual"?
-Phoenix
Did you see this monkey
by any chance?
-Cody
Oh, you mean Mr. Monkey?
-Cody
Yeah I saw him, but
his head wasn't busted!
-Edgeworth
So you went straight
to the studio?
(5)
-Cody
I got kinda lost on the way,
though. For about 30 minutes.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You got lost in the woods?
-Cody
Yeah. I couldn't figure
out which way I was walking.
-Cody
Man, was I relieved when
I saw the blue studio doors.
-Cody
But guess what happened next!
(6)
-Cody
When I came out by the studio,
there was the Steel Samurai!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
The Steel Samurai?
-Cody
Yeah, he was standing by
the studio gate.
-Cody
It looked like he was
thinking about something
before going in.
-Cody
Then he opened up the gate
and went inside.
-Phoenix
I see. What then?
(7)
-Cody
It totally rocked!
Right before my eyes,
out came the bad guy!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What sort of "bad guy" was it?
-Cody
A guy. A person.
Kinda tall. Skinny.
-Phoenix
Are you sure it was
a guy?
-Cody
...
-Cody
I dunno.
He was kinda far away.
-Phoenix
(Huh, he's being awfully
vague...)
-Mia
...
(8)
-Cody
Of course, the Steel Samurai
took him down! Pow!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What happened to the bad guy?
-Cody
Huh?
-Cody
Well...
-Cody
Well, he kinda didn't move.
Not a bit. Like he was dead.
-Cody
I-I guess he's a real pro!
What a great actor!
-Phoenix
Y-yes, I suppose he was.
(9)
-Cody
If I had my camera with
me, that woulda been the
time for a shot, I tell you.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"If" you had your camera?
-Phoenix
You mean, you weren't carrying
your camera then?
-Cody
N-no, I wasn't.
-Cody
I-it's not like I have
it all the time!
-Phoenix
(Really...?)
-Phoenix
(I guess seeing the killing
freaked him out and he went
home...)
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Mia
Remember, he's a child.
-Mia
Use gentle words...
but be firm.
-Phoenix
(Easy for you to say...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Cody, what you just said
seems, well, a little strange.
-Phoenix
Didn't you say before that
you always bring your digital
camera wherever you go?
-Phoenix
You were quite clear about
that.
-Cody
Huh!?
-Phoenix
Cody, you shouldn't lie here.
You understand that, right?
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
A word with you...
-Phoenix
(Uh oh... was I putting the
pressure on too much?)
-Judge
What is this "digital" camera
contraption you're talking
about?
-Phoenix
It's umm... a digital camera,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
It's kind of a new sort of
camera.
-Phoenix
(How do I explain that!?)
-Judge
I see.
-Phoenix
Anyway, Cody...
-Phoenix
I can't believe you wouldn't
bring your camera on a trip
to the studios!
-Phoenix
You did bring it, didn't you?
-Cody
Umm...
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright!
-Edgeworth
How cruel you are, to
terrorize a poor child so!
-Phoenix
I don't care if he's a child
or a prosecuting attorney!
No one should lie in court!
-Edgeworth
What do you mean
"or a prosecuting attorney"!?
-Phoenix
Well, Cody?
-Cody
Wh-what!
-Cody
Yeah, so I had my
camera. So what!?
-Cody
You got a problem
with that!?
-Judge
So, you did have a camera?
-Judeg
And did you use this camera?
-Cody
W-why would I use it?
-Cody
I... I was too busy watching.
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Very well. Please testify to
the court about what you were
so busy watching.

-Cody
The Steel Samurai, he goes

He's so strong!
The Steel Samurai rules!

-Edgeworth
He's getting to that!
-Edgeworth
Relax and listen.
-Cody
Umm...
-Cody
I didn't use it 'cause
I was too busy watching
the real thing!
(2)
-Cody
But I was glued to the
action! I couldn't take
my eyes off it!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you were watching the Steel
Samurai. Did you watch the
whole fight?
-Cody
Y-yeah, of course!
-Phoenix
You didn't turn away,
not even once?
-Cody
N... no!
-Phoenix
Okay, then tell us exactly
what happened.
-Cody
Y-yeah! I'm getting to that!
(3)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai, he goes
for the bad guy... wham!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So the bad guy attacked
him first?
-Cody
Yeah!
-Phoenix
What sort of person was
this "bad guy"?
-Cody
I told you, a person.
He was a person.
-Phoenix
How was he dressed?
-Cody
...
-Cody
I kinda don't remember.
-Cody
I was too busy watching
the Steel Samurai!
-Edgeworth
I see.
And what happened next?
(4)
-Cody
Then... then the bad
guy stopped moving!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why?
-Cody
Huh? Whaddya mean, "why"?
-Phoenix
Why wasn't the bad
guy moving?
-Cody
W-well 'cause the Steel
Samurai brought him to
justice!
-Phoenix
And how exactly did he
do that?
-Cody
H-how did he do it?
-Cody
With a Samurai Kick!
And a Samurai Punch!
-Cody
Samurai Chop!
... Samurai Slap!
-Cody
S-something like that.
-Phoenix
(He's still being vague
about this...)
-Cody
What! Don't give me that
look, pops!
-Phoenix
(How should I play this?)
***Wait and see what happens****************

*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What did you do after
the bad guy fell, Cody?
-Cody
...
-Cody
Um, actually...
-Cody
The fight was so... so intense
that I got kinda scared.
-Cody
So I went straight home.
-Phoenix
(Something isn't adding
up here...)
-Phoenix
(Something about his account
doesn't seem right...)
-Mia
Phoenix.
-Mia
It doesn't seem right
because he's being
deliberately vague!
-Mia
Press him on the facts,
Phoenix! Find out what he saw!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
Cody.
-Cody
Wh-what!?
-Phoenix
Something's bothering me.
-Phoenix
Before you said that you
"couldn't take your eyes
off" the action.
-Cody
Y-yeah? So what?
-Phoenix
Yet you missed the
most important part!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
What is the meaning of this?
The witness has stated what
he saw quite clearly...
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
You know as well as I do
that he's being vague!
-Phoenix
Tell me, what kind of
murderer uses a "Samurai
Slap"!?
-Edgeworth
M-mmph!
-Phoenix
My point is this:
-Phoenix
Cody, you may have seen
some of the Steel Samurai's
fight...
-Phoenix
But you missed the most
important part: the
killing blow!
-Judge
Order! Order!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
-Judge
How could this be?
-Judge
Can you explain how he
might have missed something
so vital?
-Phoenix
Um, well... er, that's
the thing...
-Mia
Phoenix!
-Mia
I believe you're on the
right track with this!
-Mia
Think: why didn't Cody see
the climax of the fight?
-Mia
I know you!
You can figure this out!
-Judge
Mr. Wright,
your answer!
-Judge
We have ascertained that
this young boy is a great fan
of the Steel Samurai...
-Judge
Why wouldn't he watch
the climax of the fight?
***He couldn't watch it*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Because he couldn't watch it!
*
* -Phoenix
* How could he calmly watch
* a murder taking place at
* his age!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Just a moment, please...
*
* -Edgeworth
* One thing has become quite
* clear in this boy's testimony.
*
* -Edgeworth
* He did not believe he
* was witnessing a murder!
*
* -Edgeworth
* He was watching the Steel
* Samurai fight, like on TV.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The more real the fight,
* the more he would have
* watched!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... huh.
*
* -Judge
* I have to agree with
* Mr. Edgeworth.

* Do you have another

* RETURN TO QUESTION

***He was watching something else***********

* "Probably"?

-Phoenix
Here's my proof!
-Judge
What's that?
The camera...?
-Phoenix
The witness stated that he
recently received this camera.
-Judge
Yes, I'm aware of that.
-Phoenix
He wasn't entirely familiar
with its operation.
-Judge
I'm aware of that, too.
-Judge
Ah!
-Phoenix
Correct! Why would Cody be
looking somewhere else at
the critical moment?
-Phoenix
Because he was looking
at his camera!
-Phoenix
He was trying to take
a picture!
-Cody
Hey!
-Phoenix
Bullseye!
-Cody
W-what's your problem, pops!
You got a thing for picking
on little kids!?
-Phoenix
(Pressing, not picking...)
-Mia
Good job, Phoenix!
-Mia
Cody was lying, clearly.
-Mia
Samrt of you to realize there
was no way he could just stand
there, watching his hero...
-Mia
and not take a picture!
-Phoenix
Right!
-Phoenix
Cody?
-Phoenix
There was only one reason
why you would have looked
away from the fight.
-Phoenix
And that was because you
wanted to take a picture.
-Phoenix
But having just received your
camera, you weren't used
to using it yet!
-Phoenix
So, you missed the climax
of the fight. Correct?
-Cody
...
-Cody
...
-Cody
...
-Cody
Yeah.
-Mia
Well, Phoenix.
-Mia
I'll bet you anything he's
hiding more than that.
-Mia
Have him testify again!
-Phoenix
R-right.
(Mia means business!)
-Phoenix
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense would like to
request that Cody Hackins
testify once more.
-Judge
V-very well.
-Judge
Cody?
-Judge
Could you please tell us
about your camera...
-Judge
And about why you didn't
take a picture of the fight?
-Cody
Umm...
-Phoenix
(Welcome to the real world,
kid!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- No Photo? --
(1)
-Cody
Yeah, you're right, pops.
(2)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai had just
escaped from the clutches of
the villain.
(3)
-Cody
So I held up my camera
to take a picture!
(4)
-Cody
But the lens wouldn't open
in time, so I missed it.
(5)
-Cody
Th-that's all that happened.
Yup.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Anything strange in that
testimony, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
I'm not sure...
-Phoenix
But I'd like to proceed with
the cross-examination anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- No Photo? --
(1)
-Cody
Yeah, you're right, pops.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
"Pops"...?
-Cody
Yeah, I called you "pops,"
you spiky-haired geezer!
-Phoenix
G-geezer...?
-Edgeworth
I'm "Mr. Edgeworth."
-Judge
And I guess I'm the "bearded
gentleman"...
-Cody
That's what I hate about
grown-ups. You'rea ll so
self-conscious!
-Phoenix
Okay, off with the kid
gloves! Testify, witness,
testify!
-Cody
Yipes!
(2)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai had just
escaped from the clutches of
the villain.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you did see the
beginning of the fight?
-Cody
Yeah.
-Phoenix
Did you notice anything
unusual?
-Cody
Umm... well... uh...
-Cody
I guess the Steel Samurai was
moving a little strange...
-Phoenix
(Moving... strangely?)
(3)
-Cody
So I held up my camera
to take a picture!
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Why couldn't you take
a picture?
-Cody
My new camera has too many
buttons. I couldn't figure
it out.
-Cody
I tried to take a picture,
I really tried.
(4)
-Cody
But the lens wouldn't open
in time, so I missed it.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
When the lens opened,
what did you see?
-Cody
Uh... well, a person on
the ground. And the Steel
Samurai!
(5)
-Cody
Th-that's all that happened.
Yup.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
That's all?
-Cody
Y-yeah!
I told you, I didn't
take a picture!
-Phoenix
(Hmm... I would have, once I
got that lens open...)
-Phoenix
(Did he really not take
a picture? Not even one?)
***Press him hard***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Nah, he definitely would
* have taken a picture.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (There's got to be something

*
* -Phoenix
* Cody!
*
* -Phoenix
* Listen up, Cody Hackins.
* I know exactly what happened
* that day.
*
* -Phoenix
* You took a picture!
*
* -Cody
* ... Hey!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Bullseye...?)
*
* -Cody
* H-how did you know!?
*
* -Phoenix
* I see through all your
* lies Cody Hackins. It's
* one of my powers!
*
* -Cody
* W-wow!
*
* -Phoenix
* (This feels great!)
*
* -Cody
* Y-yeah...
* Yeah, I took a picture.
*
* -Judge
* Perhaps you can change
* your testimony to reflect
* this, Cody?
*
* CHANGE TO 5b

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

*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better lay off
* him for now.)
*
********************************************
(5b)
-Cody
I took a few shots, but it
was too late, so I erased 'em.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
You "erased" them?
-Cody
Y-yeah!
-Phoenix
Why would you erase a picture
of your beloved Steel
Samurai, victorious?
-Cody
Well... y'know.
-Cody
W-why would I want to
keep a picture like that?
-Phoenix
(Hmm... he's becoming less
and less cooperative.)
-Phoenix
(I better find a clear
contradiction soon...
or some solid evidence.)
-Phoenix
(How can I pick holes in
such a short testimony?)
-Mia
There has to be something.
-Mia
Dig up the dirt, Phoenix!
Find out what this kid's
all about!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Cody!
-Cody
Wh-wh-what!?
-Cody
Man, every time you saw
"Cody" you follow it with
something bad.
-Phoenix
I just wanted to thank you
for giving me this the
other day.
-Cody
Huh? O-oh... right.
-Phoenix
What was it you
told me then?
-Cody
I go to every live
performance!
-Cody
I always take a picture when
the Steel Samurai lands the
final blow! Whizzam!
-Cody
I got 'em all! I never missed
one! A perfect collection!
-Phoenix
Cody.
-Phoenix
Did you really get a picture
of the Steel Samurai standing
victorious over his foe?
-Phoenix
If you did, I find it hard
to believe that you would
just erase it!
-Phoenix
Wouldn't you keep it for
your album?
-Cody
Ah!
-Judge
Mr. Wright...
-Judge
What exactly is this album?
-Phoenix
It's called "Path to Glory."
-Phoenix
It's a collection of pictures
of the Steel Samurai, all
taken by Cody Hackins.
-Phoenix
He claims it's a perfect
collection of every battle
the Steel Samurai has won!
-Judge
I... I see.
-Phoenix
Don't you find this very
odd, Your Honor?
-Phoenix
Among all his pictures of
the Steel Samurai, none
were taken that day!
-Judge
Order!
-Judge
Mr. Wright.
Have you an explanation?
-Judge
If the Steel Samurai
had just defeated his
adversary...
-Judge
I certainly would expect
to see a picture of it
in this album...
-Phoenix
Exactly my point,
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
.........!
(No... wait... no way!)
-Mia
Phoenix?
-Mia
I think we've finally
discovered the truth.
-Mia
And what a truth it is!
-Phoenix
M-Mia... are we sure
about this?
-Phoenix
Did he actually...?
-Mia
Yes.
-Mia
I'm pretty sure what you're
thinking is right.
-Mia
Tell them, Phoenix.
Tell them what the truth is.
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
Please explain to the court
what is going on here!
-Judge
Why was there no picture in
the album from the day of
the murder?
-Judge
Why would the boy have
erased the photos he took?
***The photos were blurry*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* I believe that Cody Hackins
* is what we call an "artiste."
*
* -Judge
* An... "artiste"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* He didn't like the photos
* he had taken!
*
* -Phoenix
* They were blurry, or maybe
* his framing was off...
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, for some reason,
* he erased the data!
*
* -Judge
* Is that right, Cody?
*
* -Cody
* Wh-what do you mean
* "framing was off"!?
*
* -Judge
* It seems the only thing "off"
* is your guesswork, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, uh...
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes, well, I'm sure
* the reall reason is...
*
* -Judge
* Yes? The real reason is?

********************************************
***He erased them by mistake****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Simple, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* Cody wasn't used to using
* his new camera.
*
* -Phoenix
* He erased those photos
* he took by mistake!
*
* -Mia
* W-wait a second, Phoenix.

I can think of only

-Phoenix
The Steel Samurai didn't win!
-Phoenix
That's why Cody deleted
those photos.
-Judge
You mean the Steel Samurai...
lost?
-Phoenix
Well, Cody?
I'm right, aren't I?
-Phoenix
Tell the truth. The bad guy
defeated the Steel Samurai!
-Cody
N-n-n-no way! No!
-Cody
I-it's impossible!
Th-the Steel Samurai
never loses!
-Cody
He never loses to anyone!
Ever!
-Phoenix
Your Honor...
-Phoenix
The witness has revealed
everything with his words.
-Phoenix
There was a reason why
he lied and told us he
didn't take a picture.
-Phoenix
The same reason he erased
his precious photos!
-Phoenix
For Cody, it was inconceivable
that the Steel Samurai could
be defeated.
-Phoenix
However, Cody witnessed
the impossible!
-Phoenix
He saw the Steel Samurai lose!
-Phoenix
Yet to admit what he saw
would destroy everything
he believed in!
-Phoenix
That's why he lied and said
the Steel Samurai won.
-Phoenix
He couldn't handle the truth!
-Judge
O-Order! I will have order!

-Edgeworth
What kind of stunt are you

The Steel Samurai was the

Yet according to your
witness's testimony, the Steel
Samurai was the one who fell!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What's going on?
-Phoenix
Apparently, we have all made
a serious error.
-Edgeworth
An... error?
-Edgeworth
What's this all about!?

-Phoenix
If you understand what
really happened, it's
actually quite simple.
-Phoenix
At the end of the fight,
the Steel Samurai fell to
the ground, and lay still.
-Phoenix
In other words, the Steel
Samurai was not the killer,
he was the victim!
-Phoenix
Don't you see?
-Phoenix
Jack Hammer was the Steel
Samurai!
-Judge
Order! Order! Order!
-Judge
So, the Steel Samurai
in this photograph...
-Judge
You're saying the man in this
costume was the victim,
Mr. Jack Hammer?
-Phoenix
That's what I'm saying,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
Jack Hammer was present at the
action scene run-through
that morning.
-Phoenix
Thus, he obviously knew about
Will Powers's foot injury.
-Judge
B-but wait!
-Judge
Hadn't Mr. Hammer gone
to Studio One already?
-Phoenix
That's what everyone thought!
-Phoenix
But remember what Ms. Oldbag
said in her testimony?
-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at 1:00 PM.
-Oldbag
Did I see poor old Hammer?
Nope.
-Oldbag
He'd already gone to the
studio before I got back
to the guard station.
-Phoenix
Mr. Jack Hammer left the
Employee Area after lunch.
-Phoenix
However, no one saw him
going to Studio One.
-Phoenix
Nor was there a
picture of him.
-Phoenix
He waited for Mr. Powers
to take a nap in his
dressing room.
-Phoenix
Then he snuck into the
dressing room and stole
the Steel Samurai costume.
-Judge
...
-Edgeworth
...
-Judge
But why would the
victim do such a thing?
-Phoenix
I... don't know.
-Cody
...
-Cody
I get it!
-Phoenix
?
-Cody
I thought that the Steel
Samurai was moving strange.
-Cody
So it was a different
person inside the suit!
-Cody
Pops!
-Phoenix
Huh, me? What?
-Cody
Actually, there was one
piece of data I saved.
-Phoenix
Data?
-Cody
Yeah, a photo on my
digital camera!
-Phoenix
!
-Phoenix
W-what!?
-Edgeworth
Show us, quick!
-Cody
No way man, not if you're
gonna look at me like that!
-Judge
Now!
-Cody
*sniff*
-Cody
Here...
This is it.
-Judge
...
-Judge
Well, looking at this it's
still a little hard to say.
-Judge
I'm afraid that it could
be anyone in that costume.
-Judge
Your opinion, Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
I agree, Your Honor.
This isn't decisive evidence.
-Judge
I'm sorry, this doesn't look
like it's the proof we need.
-Judge
I'll give it back.
-Mia
Wait, Phoenix!
-Phoenix
Mia? What?
-Mia
Look at that photo once more!
-Mia
That's it Phoenix!
-Mia
That photo is all the evidence
you need to win this trial!
-Phoenix
Wh-what!?
-Phoenix
Y-Your Honor!
-Phoenix
May I see that photo
once more please?
-Judge
C-certainly.
I don't see why not.
-Mia
Phoenix!
Show him!
-Mia
There's a glaring, decisive
inconsistency with the facts
as we know them in that photo!
-Phoenix
(Find the inconsistency
in the photo!)

Ah yes. Well, it's hard to

B-but...

Hmm? Eh?

Please explain so that I might

rest of the court.

I'll use the studio guidemap.
-Phoenix
The body was found here,
in Studio One.
-Phoenix
However, what do we see
in this photo taken at the
time of the murder?
-Phoenix
It does NOT say "1" on that
gate in the photo.

***The trailer was there********************

********************************************
-Judge
O-order! Order!
-Phoenix
The defense makes the
following claims:
-Phoenix
The scene of the crime
was Studio Two!
-Phoenix
The person that the security
guard, Ms. Oldbag saw was
the victim, Mr. Jack Hammer!
-Phoenix
Mr. Hammer, for some reason,
stole a Steel Samurai costume.
-Phoenix
Then he went to Studio Two!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
This is madness!
-Edgeworth
Jack Hammer is the victim!
The victim!
-Edgeworth
Why would he steal a
Steel Samurai costume!?
-Edgeworth
Are you suggesting he did
so to cover up the details
of his own murder!?
-Phoenix
W-well, no, of course not...
-Judge
Hmm...
-Edgeworth
Or do you have proof!?
-Edgeworth
Give me proof that the
victim, Jack Hammer, stole
the costume!
***I have proof*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I have proof!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Y-you do!?
*
* -Judge
* You do, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Now that they're so surprised
* suddenly I'm much less
* confident...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think I'm right, though!)
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***I don't have proof***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Proof? Uh oh... I'm pretty
* sure I don't have anything
* like that...)
*
* -Mia
* Phoenix.
*
* -Mia
* Even if you're not 100%
* sure about this, you have
* to try.
*
* -Mia
* And I think you've got
* proof that's good enough
* to win them over!
*
* -Mia
* Just go for it!
* All or nothing!
*
* -Phoenix
* Your Honor...
*
* -Judge
* Yes, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* Actually... I do have proof.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
Here's my proof that
Jack Hammer stole
the costume!
***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait, no, that can't
* be right...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I've got to have some proof
* that will knock their socks
* off...)
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* We don't have all the time
* in the world, here.
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor!
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
This is it.
-Judge
An empty... medicine bottle?
-Phoenix
I found this on the table
in the Employee Area.
-Phoenix
The same table where Mr.
Hammer and Mr. Powers ate.
-Phoenix
The label reads
"sleeping pills."
-Judge
"Sleeping pills"...?
-Phoenix
The defendant, Mr. Powers,
spent that entire afternoon
sleeping.
-Phoenix
He was drugged...
by Mr. Hammer!
-Judge
Wait a moment...
-Judge
That bottle does raise
some suspicions, yes.
-Judge
But there is no proof
that Mr. Hammer used it.
-Phoenix
Your Honor,
I have an idea.
***Test Powers's blood**********************
*
* -Judge
* An... idea?
* Continue.
*
* -Phoenix
* Run a test of Powers's blood.
*
* -Phoenix
* You should find traces
* of the sleeping pills.
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* This much time after
* the day of the murder!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Even if there were traces
* it still proves nothing!
*
* -Edgeworth
* No blood test could tell that
* Hammer was the one who
* drugged him, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* (He's right. Darn.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (That didn't work.
* Time to try another idea.)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION

***Fingerprint the bottle*******************

* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Examine Hammer's body********************
*
* -Judge
* An idea, Mr. Wright?
* And that would be?
*
* -Phoenix
* Er... we should examine
* Mr. Hammer's body.
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Hammer...?
*
* -Judge
* I thought that it was
* Mr. Powers who was made
* to take the sleeping pills?
*
* -Phoenix
* I-indeed it was, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wrong again...)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
-Judge
An... idea?
Very well, let's hear it.
-Phoenix
I want to check this bottle
for fingerprints!
-Phoenix
If my claim is true, Mr.
Hammer's fingerprints should
show up on this bottle!
-Edgeworth
Hmm...
-Judge
I suppose you're right.
-Judge
Very well.
The court will take possession
of the bottle.
Empty Bottle given
to the judge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
This court will suspend
proceedings on the current
trial for today.
-Judge
Cody Hackin's testimony has
revealed new possibilities
in this case.
-Judge
In fact, things may have
happened very differently
than we previously thought.
-Judge
The Steel Samurai seen
by Ms. Oldbag may have been
the victim, Jack Hammer.
-Judge
The scene of the crime was not
Studio One, but Studio Two.
-Judge
And those in the trailer did
have time to commit murder.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?
-Judge
Your homework is to find
the answer to the following
question:
-Judge
Why would Mr. Hammer steal
the Steel Samurai costume?
-Judge
Also, who killed him,
and why?
-Judge
Find the answers for
me by tomorrow.
-Phoenix
(That's a lot of homework!)
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth.
-Edgeworth
Mm?
-Judge
You will need to reconsider
your stance in this case.
-Judge
Above all, you will need to
reconsider your suspicion
of Mr. Will Powers.
-Edgeworth
As you say, Your Honor.
-Judge
This trial will be extended
until tomorrow. This is the
last extension!
-Judge
Very well...
Court is adjourned!

-Phoenix
Whew!
-Phoenix
That was a close one!
-Mia
We were saved by a hair,
but that's all that counts.
-Mia
I thought seriously about
going home about three
times during the trial.
-Phoenix
M-me too!
-Will
Really?
-Will
You both seemed so...
so confident!
-Phoenix
Hah! Maybe I should take
up a career in acting?
-Phoenix
I was ready to pronounce
you dead about three times
back there.
-Mia
Me too!
-Will
D-dead!?
-Mia
Hoh hoh. Of course, we're
kidding.
-Will
Are you sure?
-Phoenix
(I wasn't kidding...)
-Phoenix
Now, Mr. Powers.
-Phoenix
We have to go make
our final investigation.
-Phoenix
But I promise you, we'll
find the true killer by
tomorrow's trial!

R-right! Thanks!

Really?
Too bad, I'm sorry
I missed it.

?
-Phoenix
M-Maya!
-Maya
So, what happened?
-Phoenix
Well, I think I've
got a pretty good
idea who did it.
-Phoenix
Now all I need is a motive...
and proof.
-Maya
Wow! Good going, Nick!
-Phoenix
Under the "initial trial"
system, tomorrow is the
last day we have.
-Maya
"Initial trial"...?
What's that?
-Phoenix
That's the new court system
they introduced two or three
years ago.
-Phoenix
They had so many cases in
the system, they decided to
speed the whole process up.
-Maya
So, under that system, trials
have to end in three days?
-Phoenix
Yeah, pretty much.
-Phoenix
Well, we've no
time to waste!

********************************************
***Talk about "The director's alibi"********
*
* -Maya
* What happened with the

*
* -Phoenix
* Well, it's pretty clear that
* the producer and the director
* were both in the trailer.
*
* -Maya
* Huh...
*
* -Phoenix
* Which means that the killer
* has to be one of them!
*
* -Maya
* Really!? Why?
*

* She's been at Global

* Right or wrong, nobody

* Why is that?
*
* -Will
* Ever since she came on board,

* -Will
* Oh, he used to be a minor

*
* -Will
* But something in his work
* caught Vasquez's eye.
*
* -Will
* She brought the Steel
* Samurai idea to him.
*
* -Will
* Now everyone knows the
* name Sal Manella.
*
* -Will
* I hear he's pretty much
* at her beck and call, though.
*
* -Will
* Whenever she says "jump!"

* -Maya
* But then he just dropped
* off the face of the Earth.
*
* -Will
* Oh...
*
* -Will
* Yes, you're right. In fact,
* he was my role model when I
* started in this business.
*
* -Will
* But he just stopped taking

*
* -Will
* That's when he began
* appearing in little

*
* -Maya
* How could he do that!?
*
* -Maya
* I was really looking
* forward to a sequel
* to "Samurai Summer."
*
* -Will
* He just gave up being
* a star five years ago.
*
* -Will

Wasn't the assistant cleaning
up yesterday?
-Maya
Funny, it still seems
pretty messy in here.

I guess she was still on

rare card she needed.

-Maya
I guess they're not
filming today, either.
-Maya
I did want to see them
filming... just one time.
-Phoenix
This trial will be over and
done by tomorrow. You can
come see them film later.
-Maya
I guess...
-Maya
This is where you found
that bottle of sleeping
pills, right?
-Phoenix
Uh huh.
-Maya
I wonder if there're any
other clues lying around.
-Gumshoe
Yaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaarh!
-Gumshoe
No no no!
No touchin'!
-Maya
Eeek!
-Gumshoe
Oh, sorry, pal.
-Gumshoe
Didn't mean to
frighten you.
-Maya
D-didn't mean...?
I almost had a heart attack!
-Gumshoe
Heh heh.
I guess I can be a little
dramatique at times...
-Gumshoe
I suppose it's the actor
in me...
-Phoenix
("Dramatique" indeed...)
-Gumshoe
Ahem.
-Gumshoe
Anyway, I'm here to examine
the plate on that table.
-Phoenix
Wait, are you looking
for sleeping pills?
-Gumshoe
Yeah, pal. Traces thereof.

***Examine open grate***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* That grate's still
* lying here.
*
* -Maya
* Ah, they've seen wisdom

*
* -Maya
* They know if they fixed it
* I'd just kick it off again.
*

* That poor assistant...

***Examine nearest table********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The remains of the employees'
* lunch are scattered around.
*
* -Phoenix
* Everyone was probably too
* shocked to clean up.
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a t-bone on one of
* the plates, minus the steak.
*
********************************************
***Present anything*************************
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm guessing I know as
* much about that as you
* do, pal, i.e. nothing.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The plate"*******************
*
* -Maya
* So you're looking for traces
* of the sleeping pills... how?
*
* -Gumshoe
* For a thorough examination
* I gotta take the plate back
* to the precinct.
*
* -Gumshoe
* But I have the capabilities
* to make a cursory examination
* right here!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Our science guy gave me
* some testing solution.
*
* -Gumshoe
* This reacts to sleeping
* pills, see? If there're traces
* it'll change color.
*
* -Maya
* Wow! Neat!
*
* -Maya
* Well, Detective Gumshoe?
* What are you waiting for?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Now, now, everything
* in due time, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, the testing solution
* on the plate changed color
* alright.
*
* -Phoenix
* So there were sleeping pills
* on the plate!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Looks like it.
*
* Steak Plate added to

***Present Steak Plate**********************
*
* -Gumshoe
* It's looking like Will Powers
* was drugged...
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm going to go back to
* the precinct to do some
* more detailed tests.
*
* -Maya
* You're being very... free with
* your information today,
* Detective.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well... don't go telling
* anyone this, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* But I was kind of impressed
* at today's trial, too.
*
* -Maya
* ...!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Most lawyers would've given
* up after that director's
* testimony.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I think if it'd been anyone
* but you up there, Powers would
* be done for by now.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* How goes your investigation?
*
* -Gumshoe
* To tell the truth, it's a
* real mess, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Some people think we should
* pursue the case we already
* have against Powers...
*
* -Gumshoe
* And some people think we
* should switch suspects!
*
* -Maya
* What do you think, Detective
* Gumshoe?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, pal, I hate
* to admit it...
*
* -Gumshoe
* But I'm not sure I buy the
* case against Mr. Powers any
* more.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I feel kind of bad for
* Mr. Edgeworth, though.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Prosecutor Edgeworth"********
*
* -Phoenix
* How is Edgeworth doing,
* anyway?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Edgeworth is out of control!
*
* -Gumshoe
* He was in the waiting room
* and he crushed this paper cup
* with hot, hot coffee in it.
*
* -Phoenix
* Whoa...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Talk about burns, pal!
*
* -Maya
* Wow! The fury of Edgeworth!
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, crushing paper cups...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Cups... bottles...?)
*
* -Phoenix
* Say, what ever happened
* with that empty bottle?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, the bottle of sleeping
* pills?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, I got some good
* news for you about that.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They found the victim,
* Jack Hammer's prints on
* the bottle.
*
* -Maya
* So that means...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yep, it sounds like the one
* who put Powers to sleep was
* none other than... the victim!
*
* -Phoenix
* (So I was right!)
*
* Sleeping Pill Bottle added

***Present Sleeping Pill Bottle*************

* Detective, about that

*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, that? Talk about

*
* -Gumshoe
* I can't believe I missed
* that on my first sweep for
* evidence.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Don't know how I can apologize
* to Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* -Maya
* It must be tough being a

* responsibility...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, heh heh. *blush*

Oh! Hello!

What are you doing here?
-Penny
Oh... I was just cleaning

-Penny
I guess WP won't be

-Maya
Wha!? What!?
Why!?
-Maya
But WP's innocent!
-Penny
Yes, and I'm really

This week is the last episode

***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* I was wondering if I could
* ask you about Mr. Hammer...
*
* -Penny
* Yes?
*
* -Phoenix
* On the day of the murder,
* he went to Studio Two.
*
* -Penny
* Huh? I thought he went
* to Studio One?
*
* -Maya
* He stole the Steel Samurai
* costume, too!
*
* -Penny
* What!?
*
* -Penny
* Why would Mr. Hammer do
* something like that?
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* Oh...
*
* -Penny
* I guess the rumor must be
* true, then.
*
* -Maya
* The rumor?
*
* -Penny
* Yeah. Mr. Vasquez, that
* producer, had some kind of
* hold on Hammer.
*
* -Penny
* She had some dirt on him...
* He'd do anything she
* said, apparently.
*
* -Maya
* Some "dirt"?
*
* -Maya
* What dirt!
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* Dirt. You know, bad stuff.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Um, I know what dirt means...
*
* -Penny
* About five years ago, they
* were filming a movie starring
* Mr. Hammer.
*
* -Penny
* They were using the new
* studio... Studio Two.
*
* -Penny
* Some sort of accident
* happened during filming.
*
* -Penny
* After that, they never used
* Studio Two again.
*
* -Penny
* They left the film set the
* way it was, too.
*
* -Phoenix
* (The film set...? Was that
* trailer part of the film
* set, then?)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The last episode"************
*
* -Maya
* W-what do you mean,
* the "last Steel Samurai"!?
*
* -Penny
* I know it's a shock,
* but nothing can be done
* to save it now.
*
* -Penny
* Whoever really did kill
* Mr. Hammer, also signed the
* Steel Samurai's death warrant.
*
* -Maya
* No... no!
*
* -Penny
* Also, I hear that Global
* Studios is going to change
* its programming.
*
* -Penny
* They're not going to make
* kids' shows anymore.
*
* -Maya
* W-what!?
* Why!?
*
* -Penny
* I don't know.
*
* -Penny
* It's sad, but that's what
* Global Studios decided.

***Talk about "Five years ago"**************

* An accident five years ago?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, in Studio Two.

*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell us
* what happened?
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* S-sorry.
*
* -Penny
* I don't think I can.
*
* -Penny
* They really don't want

*
********************************************
***Talk about "Studio policy"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Why aren't they going to make
* kids' shows anymore?
*
* -Penny
* The studio bigwigs don't
* want the Steel Samurai
* around anymore.
*
* -Penny
* They want to forget all
* this ever happened.
*
* -Penny
* They want it quiet, you
* understand?
*
* -Maya
* H-how can they just do that!
*
* -Maya
* What about all the kids
* who love the Steel Samurai!
*
* -Penny
* It's okay. I'm sure the
* kids will be fine.
*
* -Penny
* They'll find a new
* hero to follow.
*
* -Maya
* No, that can't be true!
*
* -Maya
* If the program just ends,
* they'll be heartbroken
* for sure!
*
* -Maya
* N-Nick!
* Say something!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... yeah.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think evidence, rather

* * -Penny
* * I'm sorry...
* * I don't understand.
* *
* * -Maya
* * Neither do I, Nick.

* A fan collected all of

*
* -Phoenix
* The kids love the Steel
* Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* The show shouldn't be
* cancelled just so some

*
* -Phoenix
* I would think you would

*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* You're right...
*
* -Penny
* Okay!
*
* -Penny
* But what can I do?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, for starters...
*
* -Phoenix
* You can tell me something.
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me what it is that
* Global Studios is so intent
* on hiding?
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me about this accident

*
* -Penny

***Talk about "Five years ago"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell us what

*
* -Penny
* Well, I can tell you

*
* -Penny
* Apparently, five years ago,
* someone died... and it was
* Hammer's fault.
*
* -Maya
* S-someone died!?
*
* -Penny
* It was an accident, of course!
*
* -Penny
* Anyway...
*
* -Penny
* The producer, Ms. Vasquez
* managed to hush it up.
*
* -Phoenix
* And that's the "dirt" she
* had on Mr. Hammer?
*
* -Maya
* And that's why Mr. Hammer
* would do anything Ms. Vasquez
* asked him to do!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* But, it was an accident,
* right? Why didn't they just
* make it public?
*
* -Penny
* Well, you know Mr. Hammer
* was a big star back then.
*
* -Penny
* They were afraid about what
* would happen to his career
* if word got out.
*
* -Maya
* I see...
*
* -Penny
* You know who knows mre
* about this? Ms. Oldbag.
*
* -Penny
* She was here at the studios
* back then, you know.
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks.
* We'll try asking her.

* -Oldbag
* You did wrong, Hammer,

*
* -Maya
* Ms. Oldbag...?
*
* -Oldbag
* Okay. You win.
* I'll talk.
*
* -Oldbag
* I'm tired, see...
* Tired of holding it all in.
*
* -Phoenix
* Ms. Oldbag...
*
* -Oldbag
* You're right. Five years ago
* there was an accident...
* a fatal accident.
*
* -Oldbag
* What's worse, a paparazzi
* took a photo of it.
*
* -Oldbag
* That photo, well, it caused
* quite a stir.
*
* -Oldbag
* And guess who made it
* all better? Vasquez!
*
* -Oldbag
* She has ties to the
* mafia...
*
* -Oldbag
* She silenced that paparazzi.
*
* -Oldbag
* That was the beginning.
*
* -Oldbag
* After that, she became a
* force to be reckoned with
* here at the studio.
*
* -Maya
* I see...!
*
* -Oldbag
* But, you have to understand...
*
* -Oldbag
* Poor old Hammer never meant

*

* Hold on a minute.
*
* -Maya
* Poor Ms. Oldbag...
*
* -Oldbag
* Here, take this.

* ...?
* A photograph?
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait a second!
*
* -Oldbag
* This is the picture.
*
* -Phoenix
* Is... this the trailer
* in Studio Two?
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer was supposed to fight
* with a bad guy on the top
* of those stairs, there.
*
* -Oldbag
* He pushed the other actor,
* and the man fell onto the
* flowerbox fence.
*
* -Oldbag
* B-but how did you get this?
*
* -Oldbag
* It... was a long time ago.
* I don't feel much like

* -Phoenix
* I understand...

* -Oldbag
* Poor old Hammer. He was
* a big star. The biggest.
*
* -Oldbag
* That accident five years
* ago is what did him in.
*
* -Oldbag
* He wanted to hide it.
* He didn't want anyone to know.
*
* -Oldbag
* Poor, silly old Hammer.
* If he had just come out

Detective Gumshoe
must have left by now.

He's probably thinking
about what to do in
tomorrow's trial.
-Maya
I bet Edgeworth is
pretty angry with him.
MOVE TO: Dressing Room

The assistant must
have gone off somewhere.

That stuff about Mr. Hammer
must have come as a shock

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Vasquez
Hmph. You came.
-Vasquez
Well then, what was that
you were talking about?
-Phoenix
(...!
Why is she so eager to
talk all of a sudden?)
-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez.
-Phoenix
You were using that accident!
-Phoenix
You were blackmailing
Mr. Hammer so you could
control him, weren't you?
-Phoenix
That's why he was doing
kids' shows for petty change.
-Vasquez
Hmph...
-Vasquez
So I'm a blackmailer now?
-Maya
Well, that's what it was,
wasn't it!
-Maya
I mean, sure, it was
an accident...
-Maya
But you used it to drag
Mr. Hammer down from his
rightful place as a star!
-Vasquez
Oh...?
-Vasquez
I haven't pulled anyone down
from anywhere.
-Vasquez
Mr. Hammer's career went
sour of its own accord.
-Maya
B-but!
-Maya
You were the cause!
You pressured him...
-Maya
And to think it was
just an accident...!
-Vasquez
Excuse me!
-Vasquez
What is this all about?
-Vasquez
You keep saying "accident,"
"accident"...
-Vasquez
How are you so sure?
-Phoenix
What do you mean?
-Vasquez
Must I spell everything
out for you?
-Vasquez
Think: what would it be
if it wasn't an accident?
-Phoenix
...!
-Phoenix
No...
-Phoenix
No way!
-Phoenix
You mean Mr. Hammer
did it... on purpose?
-Vasquez
That is what I mean.
-Phoenix
Wh-where's your proof!
Can you prove it!?
-Vasquez
Hmph!
-Vasquez
Just think!
-Vasquez
Would he have let me run
his life for five years...
over a mere accident?
-Vasquez
And I ran him hard,
believe you me!
-Maya
B-but, the security lady
said it was an accident!
-Vasquez
Oh. Well, she was a big
fan of Hammer's, you see.
-Vasquez
She jumped on the reporter
who brought that photo
into the studio.
-Vasquez
She wrenched it out of his
hands, she did. Gave him a
few bruises, too.
-Phoenix
(...)
-Phoenix
(So that's why she
had the photo...)
-Vasquez
She's an old fool.
-Vasquez
Of course, all the reporter
would need is the negatives.
He could have made a copy.
-Vasquez
But he didn't.
-Vasquez
The only copy of that photo
is the one you hold.
-Vasquez
Give it to me. Now.
-Maya
W-what? This is valuable
evidence!
-Vasquez
Boys!
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
U-umm...
-Phoenix
Who are they...?
-Vasquez
Professionals.
-Vasquez
They're good at erasing...
various things.
-Vasquez
What do you think...?
Would you like to be erased?
-Phoenix
Wh-what!?
-Vasquez
The trial ends tomorrow?
-Vasquez
How unfortunate.
-Vasquez
It's a shame you'll
have to miss it!
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
Tell me why.
-Phoenix
Why do you want this
photograph so badly?
-Phoenix
This is Mr. Hammer's
"dirt"... no?
-Phoenix
Why should Dee Vasquez
care about it at all?
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
I'm sure you'll have plenty
of time to think about that
where you're going.
-Vasquez
So long, friends.
-Vasquez
Boys, erase away.
-Maya
Nooooooooooooo!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Gumshoe
Hold it right there!
-Gumshoe
I heard everything, pal!
-Gumshoe
Dee Vasquez!
-Gumshoe
You're coming down
to the precinct with me, now!
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Hmph.
-Vasquez
Not bad.
...
-Vasquez
Very well.
-Vasquez
It appears this contest will
be decided tomorrow then.
In court.
-Vasquez
I'll be looking forward to it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Gumshoe
H-hey, you okay, pal?
-Gumshoe
Sorry I was a little late
with my entrance.
-Gumshoe
I don't get many chances to
practice that sorta thing.
-Maya
Detective Gumshoe...
-Maya
Thank you thank you thank you!
-Maya
I was really scared...
-Gumshoe
Huh?
Don't mention it, pal.
Just doing my job.
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
...
-Maya
Detective Gumshoe?
-Gumshoe
Sorry, it's just... I've
wanted to say that line ever
since I became a detective.
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
Okay. I've got one more
job to do today.
-Gumshoe
I'm sure we'll run into
each other again soon!
-Maya
Well, Nick.
-Maya
It looks like we're getting
close to the bottom of this.
-Phoenix
(And who's at the bottom...?)
-Phoenix
(Dee Vasquez!)

|EPISODE 3 - TURNABOUT SAMURAI|
|FINAL DAY - TRIAL |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 20, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4
-Judge
Court is now in session for
the trial of Mr. Will Powers.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.
-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.
-Judge
Today will be the final
day of this trial.
-Judge
I hope both the prosecution
and the defense will be able
to present decisive evidence.
-Judge
Very well, Mr. Edgeworth.
Your opening statement.
-Edgeworth
In yesterday's session, the
defense presented us with
a new theory for this case.
-Edgeworth
He claims that the scene
of the crime was, in fact,
Studio Two.
-Edgeworth
Today, I will call on people
present in the Studio Two
trailer that day.
-Edgeworth
From their testimonies, the
truth will become clear.
-Judge
Hmm... very well!
-Phoenix
(Edgeworth seems a bit
on edge today...)
-Judge
You may call your first
witness, Mr. Edgeworth.
-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls Ms.
Dee Vasquez to the stand.
-Edgeworth
Ms. Dee Vasquez is a producer
who was present in the Studio
Two trailer that day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Edgeworth
Will the witness state her
name and occupation?
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Dee Vasquez.
I am a producer for
Global Studios.
-Edgeworth
On the day of the murder,
you were in the trailer in
Studio Two...
-Vasquez
As everyone here knows,
yes?
-Edgeworth
...?
-Vasquez
I dislike needless banter.
-Vasquez
If you must pontificate, do
it when I'm not here.
-Edgeworth
Mrrph!
-Judge
V-very well, Ms. Vasquez.
-Judge
Please give the court your
testimony concerning the
day of the murder.
-Maya
Nick! I know she did it!
Make her pay!
-Phoenix
R-right!
-Phoenx
(If she's guilty, I'll
catch her with her pants
down... So to speak.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Day of the Murder --
(1)
-Vasquez
I entered the trailer, oh,
a little before noon.
(2)
-Vasquez
The meeting began at 12:00
sharp. It ended at 4:00.
(3)
-Vasquez
There was to be a rehearsal
afterwards, so we went to
Studio One...
(4)
-Vasquez
I was fatigued, so I
had Sal take me.
(5)
-Vasquez
At 2:30, we took a 15-minute
break in the meeting.
(6)
-Vasquez
Sal and I ate t-bone steaks
on the table in front of the
trailer.
-Vasquez
We found Hammer's body
later, when we all went
to Studio One.
-Vasquez
That's all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
I have a question about
one part of your testimony.
-Judge
You were "fatigued" so you
had Sal "take" you...?
-Vasquez
The van.
-Judge
Hmm?
-Vasquez
There's a van at Studio Two.
-Vasquez
I had him take me in that.
-Vasquez
I thought it might be risky
to walk, what with that
monkey's head toppling over.
Van added to the
Court Record.
-Judge
I... I see!
-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright,
your cross-examination.
-Maya
This is the final battle,
Nick! Let's do it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Day of the Murder --
(1)
-Vasquez
I entered the trailer, oh,
a little before noon.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
By yourself?
-Vasquez
Yes.
-Phoenix
And you didn't stop in
at the Employee Area?
-Vasquez
No.
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
Are you always this... terse?
-Vasquez
Yes.
-Phoenix
(Oh dear...)
(2)
-Vasquez
The meeting began at 12:00
sharp. It ended at 4:00.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Did no one leave during
the meeting?
-Vasquez
No one.
-Vasquez
...
-Phoenix
...
-Phoenix
C-come on... let's talk
a bit more about that.
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
The witness did not come
here to engage in idle
conversation!
-Edgeworth
Stop interrupting the
testimony.
-Vasquez
The same could be said to
you, Mr. Edgeworth.
-Vasquez
And please stop banging
on your little desk. It
hurts my ears.
-Edgeworth
Mmph!
(3)
-Vasquez
There was to be a rehearsal
afterwards, so we went to
Studio One...
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
And when exactly was that?
-Vasquez
I've forgotten.
-Phoenix
...
-Vasquez
...
-Phoenix
Maybe you could try
remembering?
-Vasquez
No.
-Edgeworth
The meeting ended at 4:00,
and the rehearsal was
scheduled for 5:00...
-Edgeworth
I would think it was
between those times.
-Phoenix
(You "would think"!? C'mon,
all you did was state the
obvious, Edgeworth!)
(4)
-Vasquez
I was fatigued, so I
had Sal take me.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Hold on!
-Phoenix
You had Sal "take" you?
What does that mean!?
-Vasquez
It means what I just said.
-Vasquez
I had Sal take me in
the Studio Two van.
-Phoenix
(Oh... oh, right.)
(5)
-Vasquez
At 2:30, we took a 15-minute
break in the meeting.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
And what were you doing
during that time...?
-Vasquez
Don't hit your desk.
-Vasquez
It irritates me.
-Edgeworth
Yeah! Mr. Wright...!
-Edgeworth
Oops.
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
It was a 15 minute break...
(6)
-Vasquez
Sal and I ate t-bone steaks
on the table in front of the
trailer.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
Do you have someone who
can verify this?
-Vasquez
Sal.
-Phoenix
N-no...
I mean someone else?
-Vasquez
One person is enough.
-Phoenix
(If she committed murder
during that break...)
-Phoenix
(She wouldn't have had time
to eat a t-bone steak!)
-Phoenix
(If I had some evidence that
proved she didn't eat that
steak...)
-Maya
Well, Nick? Find anything?
-Phoenix
I kind of wish she'd
said a little more...
-Maya
It's hard. I think she's
pretty used to being the boss.
-Maya
But I'm sure you'll find some
kind of contradiction in what
she said... somewhere!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
Hah! As I thought!
-Vasquez
...
-Phoenix
You claim you ate a t-bone
steak!
-Phoenix
But I say you did not!
-Judge
W-what's this, now,
Mr. Wright?
-Phoenix
Look at this.
-Judge
It's... a plate?
-Phoenix
This plate was on the table
in the employee room.
-Phoenix
As you can see, a large
bone has been left behind.
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright. Need I remind
you it was a T-BONE STEAK!?
-Phoenix
Exactly my point!
-Phoenix
Remember, if you will...
-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez and Mr. Manella
ate at a table outside the
trailer.
-Phoenx
Yet there were no bones left
on the plates!
-Phoenix
The plates were bare!
-Vasquez
!
-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez?
-Phoenix
Tell me, how can a person
eat a t-bone steak...
-Phoenix
and not leave the bone?
-Phoenix
I think I know how!
***You ate the bone, too********************
*
* -Phoenix
* You ate the bone, too!
*
* -Maya
* Um, Nick... are you sure?
*
* -Maya
* I mean, I love steak, but
* even I don't eat the bone!
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, I don't eat it either!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* I, too, leave the bone.
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, can I try that again?
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
***You ate a boneless steak*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Elementary! You were eating
* a boneless steak!
*
* -Judge
* ...
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright, say you
* are right...
*
* -Judge
* What would that prove?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, right, Your Honor.
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
*
* -Maya
* Remember her testimony?
*
* -Vasquez
* She said she ate a "t-bone
* steak"!
*
* -Maya
* She said "bone"!
*
* -Phoenix
* Correct!
* I was... testing you!
*
* -Maya
* Yeah, sure, Nick.
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry...
* Can I try that one more time?
*
* -Judge
* ...
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
***You didn't eat the steak*****************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
You didn't eat any steak
during that break!
-Phoenix
You took your steak and
threw it somewhere... like
that incinerator!
-Vasquez
!
-Vasquez
...
-Judge
I... I see!
-Judge
Then what was Ms. Vasquez
doing during her break?
-Phoenix
Isn't it obvious, Your Honor?
***Meeting the Steel Samurai****************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***Picking on Sal Manella*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* She was picking on
* Mr. Manella!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright...
*
* -Judge
* Sometimes this court finds it
* hard to tell whether you are
* joking or being serious.
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh...?
*
* -Judge
* I would prefer it if you
* remained serious!
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor.
* I'll do my best.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
She was meeting with
the Steel Samurai!
-Judge
Order!
-Judge
A-are you saying...!?
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor!
-Phoenix
As Ms. Vasquez left the
trailer to eat her steak...
-Phoenix
She ran into the
Steel Samurai!
-Phoenix
And then you did it.
-Phoenix
You killed him with
your own hands!
-Vasquez
!!!
-Judge
M-Mr. Wright!
-Judge
I-isn't that a little
presumptuous!?
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
What kind of stunt are you
trying to pull, Wright!?
-Vasquez
Let him claim what he wants...
-Vasquez
You say I did it?
-Phoenix
Yes.
-Vasquez
Fascinating!
-Vasquez
And here I was worrying that
today would be as boring
as all the rest.
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Very well.
-Vasquez
Let us have a battle
of wits, you and I.
-Phoenix
(Any day, Vasquez!)
-Maya
Good luck, Nick!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Vasquez
Let's see...
-Vasquez
What was that murder weapon
again? Oh yes, the "Samurai
Spear."
-Phoenix
Yes...?
-Vasquez
I am, as you can see,
a woman of petite stature.
-Vasquez
How could I possibly use that
heavy spear as a weapon?
***I think you could!***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* It's not impossible!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Well, maybe it's not
* impossible, but--
*
* -Vasquez
* Silence.
*
* -Vasquez
* I'm speaking.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mmmph!
*
* -Vasquez
* The victim was stabbed
* through the chest from
* the front, yes?
*
* -Vasquez
* I believe this would indicate
* that the victim was aware of
* the killer's presence.
*
* -Vasquez
* Now, the Steel Samurai
* costume is quite light
* and mobile.
*
* -Vasquez
* Compared to the victim, I am
* weaker and slower...
*
* -Vasquez
* I couldn't possibly
* win such a fight!
*
* -Vasquez
* Not to mention, there is
* proof I did not have the
* spear!
*
* -Vasquez
* The photograph of the Steel
* Samurai shows that the victim
* himself was holding it!
*
* -Vasquez
* Or do you mean to suggest
* that I could have wrested
* it away from him?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Y-yeah! Take that, Wright!
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you still think she did
* it, show us proof!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... er...
*
* -Maya
* Hey, Nick.
*
* -Maya
* Look at the data we have
* on that Samurai Spear in
* the Court Record.
*
* -Maya
* Isn't there something in
* there that gets to you...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Something odd about the
* Samurai Spear...?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait!
*
* -Judge
* Something the matter,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'd like to take back
* my previous claim.
*
* -Judge
* Very well, I won't hold
* you to your claim.
*
* -Judge
* But I'm afraid I will have
* to penalize you.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Ugh...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* What's this?
* You're taking back your claim?
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's backtrack for
* a moment.
*
* -Phoenix
* I want to consider whether
* the witness could have used
* the Samurai Spear or not!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***You couldn't, could you******************
*
* -Phoenix
* I think you would have
* a great deal of difficulty
* using that as a weapon.
*
* -Phoenix
* Pretty much anyone would.
*
* -Vasquez
* Hah.
*
* -Vasquez
* You see?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes...

***I don't know*****************************

*
* -Vasquez
* Quiet. I'm speaking.
*
* -Edgeworth
* M-m-mmph!
*
* -Vasquez
* You "don't know"!?
* What kind of a lawyer...
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't know whether
* you could have fought
* with the Samurai Spear...
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
However, that has no
bearing on this case!
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Meaning?
-Phoenix
The Samurai Spear was
not the murder weapon!
-Vasquez
What!?
-Judge
What is the meaning of this!?
-Judge
The spear was found lying
next to the victim's body!
-Phoenix
I have proof, Your Honor.
-Phoenix
I can prove that the
Samurai Spear was not
used as the murder weapon!
***Present something wrong******************

* Wrong, Mr. Wright.

*
* -Maya

*

*
* -Phoenix
* Right.
* Okay, here's the real

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
I present my proof: the
so-called "murder weapon"!
-Edgeworth
B-but, that IS the
murder weapon!
-Phoenix
Not so fast.
-Phoenix
Remember that this spear
broke during the morning
action scene run-through?
-Phoenix
But, someone fixed the
spear.
-Phoenix
It was the security lady!
-Phoenix
She fixed it with duct tape!
-Phoenix
Now tell me, how is it
possible...
-Phoenix
for someone to stab a man
who is wearing a thick costume
with this!? Through the chest!
-Judge
O-order! Order!
-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright! What are you
driving at!?
-Edgeworth
Think about what you're--
-Vasquez
Silence!
-Vasquez
I'm the one testifying here
and I will be heard!
-Edgeworth
Mmmph...!
-Vasquez
Are you quite sane?
-Vasquez
Are you even aware of what
you're saying?
-Vasquez
If the Samurai Spear was
not the murder weapon,
then pray tell what was!?
-Vasquez
How was Hammer killed?
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright? Can you
tell us what weapon was
used to kill Mr. Hammer?
***I can tell you***************************

********************************************
***I can't tell you*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Of course I can't.
*
* -Judge
* "O-of course"!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Can the antics, Wright!
*
* -Judge
* I have to agree, Mr. Wright.
* At least pretend that you
* think you might know!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Urk. Note to self: think
* before speaking.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Tough crowd...)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
Would I make a claim like
that if I couldn't tell you
what the weapon was?
-Judge
I'm afraid your confidence
can sometimes be unfounded,
Mr. Wright...
-Judge
Very well, let's see this
murder weapon, then.
***Present something wrong******************

* -Maya
* Think about this some

*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? Think?
*
* -Maya
* Please!
*
* -Maya
* How could that possibly

*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm. She has a point.)
*
* -Judge
* Something the matter?
*
* -Phoenix
* N-no, Your Honor.
* Nothing!

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Look at this photo.
-Judge
W-what is this?
-Judge
Why, that's Jack Hammer
standing at the top of
the stairs!
-Judge
O-order! Order!
-Judge
If I cannot have order this
trial will be suspended!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
-Judge
What is this all about!?
-Phoenix
This photograph is from
five years ago.
-Phoenix
There was an unfortunate
accident at Global Studios.
-Phoenix
This is a photo of that
very accident.
-Phoenix
Not a word of this was
leaked to the outside.
-Phoenix
It was a close-kept
secret at the studios.
-Edgeworth
What does this have to
do with the currect case!?
-Phoenix
Mr. Edgeworth...
-Phoenix
You still can't see it?
-Phoenix
See the fallen man in this
photo? See how the fencepost
pierced him through the chest?
-Edgeworth
Wh... what!?
-Edgeworth
Are you saying...!?
-Phoenix
Yes.
-Phoenix
What happened five years
ago...
-Phoenix
has happened again!
-Vasquez
!!!
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
Continue!
-Phoenix
It's 2:30 PM on the day
of the murder!
-Phoenix
Ms. Dee Vasquez meets
Jack Hammer outside
the Studio Two trailer!
-Phoenix
Then she did it!
-Phoenix
She pushed Mr. Hammer off
the stairs onto the fence!
-Phoenix
Just like Mr. Hammer had
himself done five years ago!
-Phoenix
Though whether she did it
on purpose or by accident,
I cannot say.
-Vasquez
...!
-Edgeworth
I-in other words...
th-the victim, Mr. Hammer...
-Edgeworth
He died in the same way
that he caused another
man to die...
-Edgeworth
five years ago!
-Phoenix
Precisely.
-Phoenix
Ironic, isn't it?
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Hoh hoh.
Very creative, Mr. Wright.
-Vasquez
I could use a man like you
on my script writing staff.
-Phoenix
You deny that what
I say is true?
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Mr. Wright.
-Vasquez
Let's say, for the sake of
argument, that Hammer died
at the trailer as you say.
-Vasquez
Yet, the body was found
at Studio One, was it not?
-Vasquez
And in the Evil Magistrate's
costume, no less.
-Vasquez
Are you then claiming that
I carried the body to
Studio One...
-Vasquez
And returned to the trailer,
all in the space of
a 15 minute break?
-Vasquez
How could I have
disposed of the body!?
-Phoenix
...
-Edgeworth
The break in the meeting
at the trailer lasted 15
minutes, from 2:30 to 2:45.
-Edgeworth
Could Jack Hammer have been
pushed off the stairs to
his death...
-Edgeworth
then carried to Studio One
and placed inside his
costume?
-Edgeworth
There wasn't enough time!
-Judge
Hmm... indeed.
-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
How could she have dealt
with the body?
***She couldn't deal with it****************
*
* -Phoenix
* 15 minutes is kind of
* a short amount of time...
*
* -Vasquez
* You see?
*
* -Vasquez
* Even I cannot do
* the impossible.
*
* -Vasquez
* Therefore, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Vasquez
* I didn't do it.
* Agreed?
*
* -Phoenix
* Not agreed!
*
* -Vasquez
* ?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
***I bet she could move it******************
*
* -Phoenix
* You'd be surprised!

* life depends on it, they
* can do amazing things!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright, this is not
* an episode of "That's
* Incredible."
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you claim she did

*
* -Phoenix
* (Let me guess:
* "Show Me Proof!")
*
* -Edgeworth
* Correct!
* Show me proof!
*
* -Phoenix

*
********************************************
-Phoenix
What if she had another way
to carry the body, other than
with her own hands?
-Vasquez
For instance?
-Phoenix
Actually, for that matter,
there was no need for her
to do the deed in 15 minutes!
-Phoenix
And there was a way for
you to carry that body.
-Vasquez
!!!
-Vasquez
I-interesting!
Let's hear it then.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Judge
Please show us how
she carried the body.
***Present something wrong******************

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez.
-Phoenix
You carried the body
to Studio One.
-Phoenix
And you used the studio
van to do it!
-Vasquez
!!!
-Phoenix
Recall your testimony...
-Vasquez
There was to be a rehearsal
afterwards, so we went to
Studio One.
-Vasquez
I was fatigued,
so I had Sal take me.
-Vasquez
There was a van there, right?
I had Sal drive me.
-Phoenix
You used the van to carry
the body to Studio One!
-Phoenix
Then, before everyone else
got there, you put the body
into the Magistrate costume!
-Vasquez
...!
-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*
-Edgeworth
Hold on, Wright!
-Edgeworth
Don't forget, it was Sal
Manella that drove the van!
-Edgeworth
Are you suggesting that
Mr. Manella was a conspirator?
***Of course he was*************************

********************************************
***Of course he wasn't**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Of course he wasn't!

* -Edgeworth
* Hah!
*
* -Edgeworth
* So, without Mr. Manella
* noticing anything, she put
* the body in the van...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Then managed to put the body
* into the costume...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Are you seriously suggesting
* that is possible!?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Of course I'm not serious.

*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
Of course, Sal Manella has
to have been a conspirator!
-Phoenix
The body had to be placed in
the van, and put into the
costume.
-Phoenix
There's no way Ms. Vasquez
could have done that alone!
-Phoenix
Also, don't forget that
they had to dispose of the
Steel Samurai costume.
-Phoenix
They had to... because it
was covered in Mr. Hammer's
blood!
-Phoenix
They probably burned it
in that small incinerator.
-Phoenix
Well, Ms. Vasquez!
-Phoenix
Shall I continue?
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
No need.
-Vasquez
You're smarter than
you look, Mr. Wright.

Hmph.

I lose. You win.
It... was fun.

Don't you have anything

What would you like me to say?
-Phoenix
Huh?
-Phoenix
"I lost"?
Something like that!
-Vasquez
I just said that.

W-wait, so you mean...

Dee Vasquez!
So, it was you?
-Phoenix
You killed Jack Hammer!

-Vasquez
Who can say?
-Phoenix
Huh?
-Vasquez
Are you sure I did?
-Vasquez
Mr. Wright...
-Vasquez
We just engaged in
a battle of wits.
-Vasquez
And the result of that battle?
You proved the possibility
that I murdered Hammer.
-Phoenix
R-right!
-Vasquez
But... that is only
a possibility.
-Vasquez
Proof is another thing
altogether.
-Vasquez
You lack decisive proof,
Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
Wha... wha... wha... wha...
-Phoenix
WHAAAAAAAAAT!?

Order!
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth,
your thoughts?
-Edgeworth
Umm... uhh... mmmph.
-Edgeworth
O-of course, it's as
the witness says!
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
Certainly, it does seem very
likely she did it... but, uh,
there's no proof!
-Phoenix
(...!)
-Phoenix
(Edgeworth isn't sure!)
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Well?
-Vasquez
I came here was a witness
today.

If you've no more questions,

Why are you badgering me?
I'm your witness!

I... I just want to hear

Does this make any sense
to you, Your Honor?
-Vasquez
I don't see that we have
anything to gain by repeating
the last several minutes.
-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth...
-Judge
I, too, see little point in
making Ms. Vasquez repeat
herself.

What exactly did you want
her to testify about?
-Edgeworth
Mmmph! Well, yes, um...
-Edgeworth
...
-Edgeworth
Indeed!
Verily, I say...
Ergo!

I want to hear about what

After they found the body...?

Very well.

The witness will testify

Hmph.

Why did Edgeworth...?

Who knows?

Wasn't he the one that said
he always gets a guilty

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- After Finding the Body --
(1)
-Vasquez
I was with Sal and Oldbag,
the security lady, when we
found the body.
(2)
-Vasquez
The assistant was there, too.
Only Powers was absent.
(3)
-Vasquez
I immediately called the
police. Then Powers showed
up.
(4)
-Vasquez
The security lady, Oldbag,
was quite agitated. Pointing
at Powers, saying "he did it!"
(5)
-Vasquez
I asked to be left out
of the proceedings.

-Vasquez
I went back to the trailer

Hmm...

Mr. Wright,
your cross-examination.

Okay, Nick, we're

She may be acting

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- After Finding the Body --
(1)
-Vasquez
I was with Sal and Oldbag,
the security lady, when we
found the body.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
What time was that?
-Vasquez
We were to meet at 5:00
for the rehearsal.
-Vasquez
So I'd say it was then.
-Phoenix
When exactly did you
and Mr. Manella arrive
at the studio?
-Vasquez
About 10 minutes before.
-Vasquez
I wasn't stuffing any bodies
into costumes, mind you.
-Phoenix
(Hmm...)
***Press harder*****************************

* Where were the other employees

*
* -Vasquez
* They weren't there yet.

* Then you could have put
* Hammer in that costume,
* with Sal Manella's help!
*
* -Vasquez
* Oh?
*
* -Vasquez
* What did I just say?
*
* -Vasquez
* Did I not just say "I wasn't
* stuffing any bodies into

* -Vasquez
* You should try to listen

Only Powers was absent.

Mr. Powers was taking
a nap, correct?
-Vasquez
So he says.
-Phoenix
Did no one go to call him?
-Vasquez
Remember...
-Phoenix
Remember... what?
-Vasquez
There was a dead body lying
in front of us. Yet you
expect me to be calm?

(You certainly seemed
calm enough when I accused
you of murder!)

* Without his Steel Samurai

No one said a thing.
-Vasquez
It was silent.
Completely silent.

So we stood there until Powers
finally arrived on the scene.
-Vasquez
"Sorry! Sorry I'm late!"
-Vasquez
Then... silence.
Dead silence.

Hey... Hey, Nick.

at Powers, saying "he did it!"
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
(Oldbag... the security lady.)
-Phoenix
Why did the security lady
think Powers had done it?
-Vasquez
She said because she saw
him going toward the studio.
-Phoenix
(Right... the Steel Samurai.)

You "asked to be left out"?
-Vasquez
Yes.
-Vasquez
It seems that everyone
else was questioned.
-Vasquez
And I'm really not fond
of that sort of thing.
-Phoenix
But, you can't just decide
who the police will and
won't question!
-Vasquez
Thankfully, the studio
thinks otherwise.
-Vasquez
They were nice enough to
understand that, since we
were in a meeting...
-Vasquez
There was no way we could
have been involved. Thus,
they covered for us.
-Phoenix
(Covered for you...
or covered it up for you?)
-Phoenix
(There must have been a lot
riding on it, with all thise
bigwigs at the meeting...)
-Phoenix
(I'm sure her "professionals"
helped convince everyone they
didn't require questioning.
(6)
-Vasquez
I went back to the trailer
to get my script and direction
notes.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*

The script and your
direction notes?

Yes, they're quite

* -Edgeworth
* Think!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ms. Vasquez said she didn't
* bring the script because there
* wouldn't be a rehearsal.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Don't you see what
* that means?
*
* -Edgeworth
* She would have had to know
* about the murder before
* going to Studio One!
*
* -Vasquez
* ...!
*
* -Judge
* Order! Order!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Judge
* What you have just said...
*
* -Judge
* is a reasonable observation.
*
* -Judge
* However, I find it hard to
* understand why the prosecution
* would make such a move!
*
* -Judge
* Or are you thinking of a
* career change to defense!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* I... appreciate the concern,
* Your Honor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I will stand by my statement,
* however, regardless of how
* the court sees my role here.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Now, Ms. Vasquez...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Do you have an explanation?
*
* -Phoenix
* (I can't believe Edgeworth
* is helping me!)
*
* -Vasquez
* Hmph.
*
* -Vasquez
* So the prosecution is in
* cahoots with the defense?
* What kind of court is this?
*
* -Vasquez
* No matter.
*
* -Vasquez
* I think you misunderstood me.
*
* -Vasquez
* I had a perfectly good reason
* to believe there would be
* no rehearsal.
*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
*
* -Judge
* Very well, the witness will
* change her testimony to
* reflect this reason.
*
* CHANGE TO 7b

(7a)
-Vasquez
Then I went home.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
So you weren't questioned?
-Vasquez
That's correct.
-Vasquez
I find these things...
distasteful.
***Press harder*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Thinking back to when we
* first began this trial...
*
* -Phoenix
* We were under the impression

*
* -Vasquez
* I suppose.
*
* -Phoenix
* Why is that?
*
* -Vasquez
* Well, we were in a meeting
* the whole afternoon.
*
* -Vasquez
* What's the point of talking
* about that to the police?
*
* -Phoenix
* (She has got to be the least
* guilt-ridden gulty person
* I've ever met...)
*
********************************************
***Back off*********************************

(7b)
-Vasquez
I knew that Hammer was injured
and couldn't do any action
scenes, so I left them behind.
-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*
-Phoenix
How did you know about
the injury?
-Vasquez
H-how did I know!?
-Vasquez
Sal.
-Vasquez
He told me.
-Phoenix
(Sal the director...
Hmm...)
-Maya
You have to find something
to peg this on her here...
-Maya
Or everything we've done
till now will have been
wasted!
-Maya
I believe in you, Nick!
Go get 'em!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*
-Phoenix
You "knew that Hammer
was injured"...?
-Phoenix
Don't you think that's
a little funny?
-Phoenix
I mean, it was the Steel
Samurai who was injured!
-Pheonix
It was Will Powers!
-Vasquez
Wh... what!?
-Judge
Mr. Wright!
Explain yourself!
-Phoenix
Yes, Mr. Hammer is dragging
his leg in this photo.
-Phoenix
But that's because he was
pretending to be Mr. Powers!
-Vasquez
P-pretending...?
-Phoenix
One person was injured in the
run-through that morning.
-Phoenix
That person was Mr. Powers,
not Mr. Hammer!
-Phoenix
Now, why did you think it was
Mr. Hammer who was injured?
-Vasquez
...!
-Vasquez
I-I already said it
was Sal who told me!
-Vasquez
Th-that's right!
He must have gotten it wrong.
-Phoenix
I think not.
-Phoenix
Mr. Manella was at the
run-through that morning.
-Phoenix
He would have known it was
Mr. Powers who was injured.
He saw it happen!
-Phoenix
Why would he tell you
the wrong person?
-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez!
***You heard Mr. Manella wrong**************
*
* -Phoenix
* You must have heard
* Mr. Manella wrong!
*
* -Phoenix
* Even though he said
* Mr. Powers was injured...
*
* -Phoenix
* You thought he was talking
* about Mr. Hammer!
*
* -Vasquez
* ...
*
* -Vasquez
* Now that you mention it...
*
* -Vasquez
* Yes, I believe you're right.
*
* -Vasquez
* I'm sure that's what happened.
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
*
* -Maya
* You're supposed to be putting
* her on the spot, not helping
* her out!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, right...
* I kind of talked myself out
* of that one, didn't I?
*
* -Maya
* Quick! Start over!
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION

***You saw Hammer limping*******************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************
-Phoenix
Actually, you didn't hear
anything from Mr. Manella.
-Phoenix
You saw Mr. Hammer limping
with your own eyes!
-Judge
Yes, but...
-Judge
Wasn't it Mr. Powers who
was injured...?
-Phoenix
Yes, but remember!
-Phoenix
Mr. Hammer was dragging
his leg, too!
-Phoenix
He was pretending to be
Mr. Powers!
-Judge
Aah!
-Phoenix
And when was he
doing this...?
-Edgeworth
Well...
-Edgeworth
It would have been after he
put on the Steel Samurai
costume...
-Edgeworth
and went to Studio Two.
Where he was murdered!
-Phoenix
Exactly!
-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez!
-Phoenix
You met him, didn't you?
You saw the Steel Samurai
limping!
-Phoenix
And Mr. Hammer was in
that Steel Samurai suit!
-Phoenix
That's why you were confused!
-Phoenix
That's why you thought it
was Mr. Hammer who had been
injured that morning!
-Vasquez
...!!!
-Judge
Order! Order!
I will have order!
-Edgeworth
Witness!
-Edgeworth
Can you refute this claim?
-Vasquez
Hrrmmmmm... hmph!
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
...
-Phoenix
(Yeah, let's see you sneak
out of this one, Vasquez!)
-Vasquez
...
-Vasquez
Very well!
-Vasquez
I have a question for you!
-Phoenix
(Urk...)
-Phoenix
(Why are the real killers
always so... persistent?)
-Vasquez
Why in the world would
I want Mr. Hammer dead?
-Vasquez
Yes, he'd fallen on hard
times, but he was a star!
-Vasquez
I had nothing to gain
from his death! Nothing!
-Judge
Hmm...
-Judge
Yes, you would need a motive.
-Jude
Why would she have killed
the victim?
-Judge
If there is a reason,
it is unclear to this court.
-Judge
Does the defense have anything
to say on the matter?
-Judge
In other words, can you
prove she had a motive?
***Of course I can prove it!****************

* CONTINUE

********************************************
***Of course I can't prove it!**************
*

*
* -Maya
* I don't care if it's

* Ugh...
*

********************************************
-Phoenix
Okay.
-Phoenix
I have proof, and
I'll show it to you!
-Phoenix
I present to the court
evidence as to Ms. Vasquez's
motive in this murder.
***Present something wrong******************

********************************************
-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*
-Phoenix
This is my proof!
-Judge
This is... the photo
from before?
-Phoenix
This photo reveals the
motive in this murder!
-Vasquez
...!
-Pheonix
I'm right, aren't I,
Ms. Vasquez?
-Vasquez
Hrrrrrrm... hmph!
-Phoenix
Five years ago, Mr. Hammer
was at the height of his fame.
-Phoenix
With Dee Vasquez's help, a
terrible accident was swept
under the carpet...
-Phoenix
Ladies and gentlemen,
the case currently up
for trial...
-Phoenix
It began on that day,
five years ago!
-Vasquez
...
-Phoenix
Ironically enough, that
accident precipitated
Mr. Hammer's fall...
-Phoenix
His fall from stardom!
-Edgeworth
His guilt weighed him
down, no doubt.
-Phoenix
However!
-Phoenix
You, Dee Vasquez, used
Mr. Hammer.
-Phoenix
You made him work for you
for petty change!
-Vasquez
Hmph.
-Edgeworth
Bringing us to the present
day... and Mr. Hammer's last
role as the Evil Magistrate!
-Phoenix
Yes! Undoubtedly, it was
a constant source of shame
for the ex-star...
-Edgeworth
Hmm...
-Judge
One moment, Mr. Wright.
-Judge
We are talking about motives,
here... yet you have only
talked about Mr. Hammer.
-Judge
It almost seems as if...
-Judge
As if it was Mr. Hammer who
had killed Dee Vasquez, not
the other way around!
-Judge
What motive would Ms. Vasquez
have?
-Vasquez
Y-yes, that's right.
-Vasquez
According to what you say...
-Vasquez
I would have had no reason to
kill Hammer. He was a good
source of income for me!
-Vasquez
And I never get rid of useful
men. It's a policy of mine.
-Judge
Mr. Wright?
-Judge
Please explain Ms. Vasquez's
motive for murder.
***Reveal evidence**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Okay...
*
* -Phoenix
* Allow me to present to the
* court evidence proving

* * -Phoenix
* * This is my proof!
* *
* * -Judge
* * And... this tells us why
* * Ms. Vasquez wanted to kill
* * Mr. Hammer?
* *
* * -Vasquez
* * I'd say all it proves is that
* * the defense attorney has
* * completely lost his marbles.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Urk!)
* *
* * -Judge
* * Mr. Wright!
* * The court requests that you
* * find your marbles immediately.
* *
* * -Judge
* * And, I'm afraid I have to
* * penalize you for this
* * waste of the court's time.
* *
* * -Maya
* * Nick! We're so close!
* *
* * -Maya

***She had no motive************************

* CONTINUE

********************************************
-Phoenix
She had no motive, Your Honor.
-Judge
What's that now!?
-Phoenix
It was Mr. Hammer who was
out for blood!
-Phoenix
All Ms. Vasquez did was
push him off the stairs...
in self defense!
-Edgeworth
What's that now!?
-Phoenix
It's simple!
-Phoenix
Mr. Hammer was intending
to kill Ms. Vasquez!
-Edgeworth
Wha-!?
-Edgeworth
WHAT!?
-Phoenix
Your Honor!
-Phoenix
Jack Hammer drugged
Mr. Powers with sleeping
pills!
-Phoenix
Jack Hammer snuck into the
dressing room and stole
the Steel Samurai costume!
-Phoenix
Jack Hammer wore the costume
to fool the security lady
into thinking he was Powers!
-Phoenix
Then Jack Hammer made
his way to the trailer!
-Phoenix
And for what purpose, you ask?
-Phoenix
To kill Dee Vasquez, who had
so cruelly taken advantage
of him all those years!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Phoenix
So, you did do it, didn't you?
-Vasquez
... Yes.
-Vasquez
I am guilty.
-Vasquez
It was me...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Someone call an ambulance!"
"Th-there's blood everywhere!
We're too late!"
"Aah! Ms. Vasquez!"
"What...?
What happened here!?"
"Manuel fell from the
trailer stairs...!"
"Manuel! Manuel!
"Ms. Vasquez, please, try
to remain calm..."
"No...! No!
How could this...?"
"It was an accident..."
"Mr. Hammer was doing
an action scene and..."
"No! Manuel! Manuel!!!"
"D-don't touch him!
Ms. Vasquez!"
"Nooooooooooooo!"
"Please... please don't die."
"Please..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Vasquez
Congratulations, Mr. Wright.
-Vasquez
I lose... again.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth...
Where's Dee Vasquez?
-Edgeworth
In the waiting lobby,
Your Honor. As calm and
collected as ever...
-Judge
I see...
-Judge
Mr. Wright.
-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?
-Judge
It appears you have brought
about yet another miracle.
-Phoenix
I... thank you, Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
I think not, Your Honor.
-Edgeworth
Will Powers was innocent.
-Edgeworth
That he should be found
so is only natural...
not a miracle.
-Judge
...
-Judge
Yes.
Yes, you're right.
-Judge
Very well.

This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Will Powers...

Yes... but... it's sad.

I know now that Mr. Hammer
stole my costume.

It's bad enough that he
wanted to kill Ms. Vasquez...

But to think that he

murder!

It makes me sad...

Oh? Oh!

N-no! O-of course not...

Umm... that was too bad,
Edgeworth!
-Edgeworth
You don't waste any

No... I really want to

Vasquez would have gotten

Ah, uh, pleased to meet

Ah, er, Edgeworth.

I'm a big fan of your

I must say, I hadn't expected

-Maya
Meet "again"...?
-Edgeworth
However.
-Edgeworth
In retrospect, it would have
been better had we not met.
-Edgeworth
Thanks to you, I am saddled
with unnecessary... feelings.
-Phoenix
Unnecessary feelings?
-Edgeworth
Yes. Unease... and
uncertainty.
-
Aren't those kind of
necessary?
-Edgeworth
They only serve to get
in my way.
-Edgeworth
You listen to me,
-Edgeworth
Don't ever show your

-Edgeworth
That's what I came here

-Will
Umm... Mr. Wright?
-Will
Is... this guy your friend?
-Maya
What? Friends?
As if!
-Maya
They're rivals! Rivals!
Right, Nick?

For now we are... I guess.
-Maya
Huh!?
-Maya
Why do I get the feeling
I'm missing something?
-Maya
C'mon, Nick! Tell me!
What's the deal with you

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
And so the curtain closes
on another trial...
-
I caused quite a stir by
revealing that accident
from five years ago.
-
It was the talk of the town.
-
Thankfully, Global Studios
rethought its programming
change.
-
They went back to making
kids' shows again.
-Maya
Nick!
-Maya
This is it! The new show
starts today! You're going
to watch it with me, right?
-
(I'll admit, I was kind
of surprised...)
-
(I didn't think they'd
seriously go through
with it...)
-Maya
You have to buy trading
cards too, okay!
-Maya
We have to trade with
Cody and that assistant!
-
Fine, fine.
I'll do it.
-Maya
Isn't it great that WP
gets to play the lead again?
-Maya
I wonder if they'll show
his real face this time...
-
I dunno...
-
I don't think the world
is ready for the real
Will Powers...
