From now on, court is now in session for the trial of Matt Engarde.
Are the prosecution and the defense ready?
The defense is ready, your Honor.
Foolish fool who foolishly dreams of foolish dreams!
I give the defense ten minutes before it changes its plea.
Is the prosecution ready…?
I'm talking! If you interrupt again, my whip will do the speaking for me.
Please speak with your mouth not with your whip…
Calm down! Please calm down!
Please let me live!!
Then, let me present my first witness.
Yes!
Witness, your name and occupation.
Dick Gumshoe, the detective in charge.
Please, explain de incident.
Yes, sir!
The murder happened after the Hero of Heroes award ceremony. The victim found was Juan Corrida, sir.
The murder weapon was his bandana.
Bandana?
That conclusion took us some time, but there's no doubt than the bandana is the murder weapon.
Defense, your cross examination, please.
Yes!
Ok, please answer me this: The murder weapon wasn't a knife?
The bandana was the confirmed by the result of the investigation.
Then, what about the knife…?
It seems to have been stuck in the victim's chest on purpose after his death.
We have a crafty murderer on our hands here.
Let me get to my next point. Why then, did the police arrest Matt Engarde? Please explain that.
Yes!
First of all, Matt Engarde and Juan Corrida were huge rivals with each other.
They each thought the other was "in his way".
As for evidence… The defendant's fingerprints were all over the knife.
The defendant bought the knife for the crime...
Which makes this a premeditated murder!
Well this is very decisive!
Hold it!
So, are you saying that my client "bought the knife beforehand"?
That's right, pal. That knife…
OBJECTION!
My client, did not buy this knife.
Take a good look at the handle of this knife, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Huh? It says "Gatewater"!
"Gatewater"?
That's the name of the hotel.
The murder knife was actually property of the hotel! Which means this murder was not premeditated!
I, I see..
OBJECTION!
I can't believe that this detective is dumb enough not to realize this!
The truth is…
I'm sorry...
The question is… Where did this knife come from?
That's obvious, it came from the victim's room…
Sadly, that is incorrect!
Please look at this picture of the victim's room.
The victim ate a last meal before he was murderer.
But I would like to draw your attention to what is on the table…
Ah! There is a knife and a fork on the table.
Then… Where in the world did this knife come from?
I would like to recall the room of Mr. Matt Engarde.
Especially what was on top of his table… There's something missing!
Don't tell me…
YES! Mr. Matt Engarde's knife was missing!
Mr. Engarde had gone to the victim's room with the knife he had used during dinner.
Why would he carry a knife on a visit? There's one explanation.
To kill, of course!
Absolutely brilliant! A brilliant deduction!
Mr. Nick!!!
We got quite a decisive clue here.
Then, I want to call my next witness.
But this detective doesn't have anything else to say?
For me that was enough!
Really?
Gramps, don't interrupt!
Phoenix Wright!
My revenge with you isn't "just a revenge".
It will be a PERFECT VICTORY!
Scary!
You've got to be kidding me...
Witness!
Yes!! Sorry for keep you waiting!
Oldbag?
Witness! Your name and occupation!
Wendy Oldbag, hotel's security lady.
The witness was on security duty at the hotel on the night of the murder. Is that right?
Yes, that's right!
After the ceremony, and since it's my job, I made sure to keep a good eye out of the hallway of Juan's room.
And there, what did you see?
It was Engarde! He was trying to sneak his way out of my dearest Juan's room!
Oldbag was a witness?
How was that? He's the murderer!
Defense, you may begin your cross-examination.
Y-yes!
So… I have a question for the witness.
Are you sure you saw the defendant?!
Yessey!
Really?
Annoying brat! When I say I saw someone, I saw that person!
Oh, that's it…
Please, tell the court about the man's appearance in more detail!
The appearance?
Yes, please.
Oh, was that thing he's always wearing. That red racing suit.
"That red racing suit", you say, right?
How many times I have to say it to you!!
OBJECTION!
I'm growing tired of this. Can the defense explain why this is so important?
Defense, can you explain it?
Of course I can!
Witness, what kind of clothing did the defendant were before and after the time of incident?
Huh? I already told you about the red racing suit...
OBJECTION!
Isn't that weird?
In what way?
At the moment, Mr. Engarde was using his Nickel Samurai costume for the attraction show, right?
OBJECTION!
Is that what are you trying to say? When it was the time of the crime, he simply changed to his racing suit…
OBJECTION!
Why would he do that? His racing suit is very recognizable. I would rather stay in character.
Besides, his costume is difficult to put and to remove, and it would be a hard task for a single person.
So why would he do such a thing for nothing?
Yeah, why would he do that?
I'm talking to you.
Eh... I don't know why...
I see. It's actually very strange.
Wait! I remember it now.
He wasn't wearing his racing suit, it was the Nickel Samurai that I saw!
Oldbag made a mistake! Teehee!
OBJECTION!
Witness, your declaration states that you saw the Nickel Samurai, right? Please, take a look at this knife.
Huh? What's the deal with it?
Your Honor. Do you know why this piece of evidence is important to this case?
It's because the defendant's fingerprints are on it, right?
Exactly! If Mr. Engarde was really in the Nickel Samurai costume at the time of the murder...
Then it's impossible for his fingerprints to have been left in this knife!
As he was wearing gloves, he would have wiped all previous fingerprints on this knife!
OBJECTION!
We don't know if he was wearing the gloves at that moment!
OBJECTION!
And why would he want to leave his prints on the murder weapon?
There is no way he would do something like that!
In other words, that knife was a fake to frame my client!
You did it, Mr. Nick!
UGH! WITNESS!
OBJECTIOOOON!!
The Old Bag!
I mean, witness…
You don't have to worry, you'll be…
It's because you have not seen anything wrong.
You really witnessed the culprit wearing the racing suit.
But that's…
Defense, please explain, who is that person who wants to frame the defendant?
To get there...
This person moved freely in and out of Mr. Engarde's room and even had dinner with him that night!
Had dinner?
Yeah, that way it makes it very easy for them to get a certain item…
The knife with Mr. Engarde's fingerprints all over it!
Oh! I see!
Also that person was present the day of the incident and able to wear Mr. Engarde's red jacket.
The defense motion to indict Mr. Engarde's manager, Ms. Andrews as the murderer in this case!
Order! Order, please!
It looks like this trial has hit a most unexpected development!
This court is issuing a subpoena for Ms. Adrian Andrews!
A verdict cannot be passed without first hearing her testimony!
I'm fine with it!
Please, wait!!
You're wrong! I'm not the culprit! I didn't do it!
It was Matt, I tell you! He's the murderer!
This is bad!
Why do you say that, Mr. Nick?
If Adrian Andrews is summoned to court as a witness...
It means that the trial will go on for another day. If we don't get the verdict, Maya will be…
It isn't me!! I didn't do it!
Now then, we shall set Ms. Andrews' testimony for tomorrow...
Prosecution, Defense it's time to check again the facts of this case…
Your Honor, please wait.
I'm in a pinch, this trial can't go on tomorrow!
Even if you say so, we have to listen to this witness…
Then, please give us your verdict now.
Huh?!
We already got all the evidence! Mr. Engarde is innocent!
Don't be a fool!
This trial isn't over!
Then, please show me your evidence!
Didn't your father always said: present the perfect evidence and the perfect witness… ?
What?
So, please…
Please, your Honor, your verdict!
But that's…
Your Honor!
OBJECTION!
I will make you eat your own words.
Isn't the Defense job to find the evidence to prove the defendant's innocence?
That's right!
Why are you sweating that much, Phoenix Wright?
You shouldn't worry, as you already lose.
What are you saying…?!
Hey! That's it. That's it.
This court is adjourned for today!
Please wait! Waiiit!
It can't be!
Mystic Maya!!
Mr. Nick!
It's from De Killer.
Hello?
How unfortunate! Just a little more and you would've got the Not Guilty verdict.
You saw it?
Sadly, this offer has a time limit.
Ah! I beg you! Please wait!
Please wait one more day. Tomorrow I'll get the NOT GUILTY verdict!
Well, I'll let you have it. Since this NOT GUILTY is very important for me.
Ah, yes! You worked really hard today, which is why... I'll give you a little present.
A present?
So, let me start.
Please, wait!
What did he mean with present?
What happened?
Sniper!!
Ms. Von Karma!!
Are you ok? Please, resist! Ms. Von Karma!
Is this joke?!
Don't tell this the 'present' he was talking about…
What's going to happen now?
Mr. Edgeworth?
Edgeworth!
Who's Edgeworth?
Edgey-poo!
Let me see…
Thankfully, it's not a wound to be worry about.
What are you looking at? Call an ambulance now!
Yes, sir!
Why are you here…?
I'm leading an international investigation about De Killer.
De Killer?
Phoenix Wright.
Just watch me.
Tomorrow… Tomorrow I will…!!
Please, resist!
Franziska, Franziska!
