: Hmm...
![](11-Judge_Normal.png)
: I see no issues raised by this testimony...
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: Mr. Wright, your cross-examination.
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: Okay, Nick, we're close, real close!
![](14-Maya_Thoughtful.png)
: She may be acting tough now... But if you put her on the spot she's sure to falter!
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: Find the key you need and twist the truth out of her, Nick!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Right!
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: What time was that?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: We were to meet at 5:00 for the rehearsal. So I'd say it was then.
![](21-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: When exactly did you and Mr. Manella arrive at the studio?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: About 10 minutes before. I wasn't stuffing any bodies into costumes, mind you.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Where were the other emplyoees when you got to the studio?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: They weren't there yet.
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Well!? Then you could have put Hammer in that costume, with Sal Manella's help!
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Oh? What did I just say? Did I not just say "I wasn't stuffing any bodies into any costumes"...?
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: You should try to listen to what people are saying, boy.
![](27-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(B-boy!?)
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: The witness will continue her testimony.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Mr. Powers was taking a nap, correct?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: So he says.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Did no one go to call him?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Remember...
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Remember... what?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: There was a dead body lying in front of us. Yet you expect me to be calm?
![](27-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(You certainly seemed calm enough when I accused you of murder!)
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Wait a second! Wouldn't that be the other way around!?
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: The other way around?
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: You discovered a murdered body, and one person was missing, right?
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Wouldn't you normally go looking for the missing person!?
![](10-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: I have to agree with the defense on this one. Well, Ms. Vasquez?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Hmph. Logically speaking, perhaps. But no one there was thinking very logically, I assure you. Also.
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: Without his Steel Samurai costume, Powers doesn't really stand out.
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: We often left him on the bus when shooting at location. No one noticed he was missing.
![](27-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(Poor Powers...)
![](11-Judge_Normal.png)
: Hmm... Well, I suppose that explains that.
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: Very well, Ms. Vasquez. You may continue.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: What was everyone else doing at that time?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: No one said a thing. It was silent. Completely silent. So we stood there until Powers finally arrived on the scene. "Sorry! Sorry I'm late!" Then... silence. Dead silence.
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: Silent.
![](14-Maya_Thoughtful.png)
: Why's everyone so quiet?
![](34-Maya_Hopeful.png)
: Someone should do something to lighten things up!
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Oldbag... the security lady.)
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Why did the security lady think Powers had done it?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: She said because she saw him going toward the studio.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Did the detective arrest Mr. Powers based solely on the security lady's word?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Perhaps not. She seems to have also given the detective that photograph... Of course, I heard all this after the fact.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(That photograph... meaning the one taken by the security camera.)
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: She's not known for exhibiting the best sense of judgment when it comes to Hammer.
![](27-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(Hmm. I don't think there's anything in there I can use.)
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: You "asked to be left out"?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Yes. It seems that everyone else was questioned. And I'm really not fond of that sort of thing.
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: But, you can't just decide who the police will and won't question!
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Thankfully, the studio thinks otherwise. They were nice enough to understand that, since we were in a meeting... There was no way we could have been involved. Thus, they covered for us.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Covered for you... or covered it up for you? There must have been a lot riding on it, with all those bigwigs at the meeting... I'm sure her "professionals" helped convince everyone they didn't require questioning.)
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: The script and your direction notes?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Yes, they're quite valuable. It wouldn't do to have them stolen.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Wait a second! I thought you came to Studio One for a rehearsal!
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Why didn't you bring your script and notes!?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Well, I was under the impression that we wouldn't be able to rehearse anything.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Why?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: There was a murder, after all! Who could think of rehearsing after that!
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Oh, yeah, I guess...)
![](10-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: Very well. Ms. Vasquez, please continue...
![](42-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Your Honor!!!
![](43-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: I have an objection to the witness's last statement!
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Huh...!?)
![](43-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Think!
![](45-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Ms. Vasquez said she didn't bring the script because there wouldn't be a rehearsal. Don't you see what that means?
![](42-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: She would have had to know about the murder before going to Studio One!
![](11-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order!
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: Mr. Edgeworth!
![](45-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: What you have just said... is a reasonable observation.
![](49-Judge_Shock.png)
: However, I find it hard to understand why the prosecution would make such a move! Or are you thinking of a career change to defense!?
![](45-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...
![](51-Edgeworth_Bow.png)
: I... appreciate the concern, Your Honor.
![](45-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: I will stand by my statement, however, regardless of how the court sees my role here.
![](42-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Now, Ms. Vasquez...
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(I can't believe Edgeworth is helping me!)
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: Hmph. So the prosecution is in cahoots with the defense? What kind of court is this? No matter.
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: I think you misunderstood me. I had a perfectly good reaosn to believe there would be no rehearsal.
![](10-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: Very well, the witness will change her testimony to reflect this reason.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: How did you know about the injury?
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: H-how did I know!?
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: Sal. He told me.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Sal the director... Hmm...)
Loop!
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: You have to find something to peg this on her here... Or everything we've done till now will have been wasted! I believe in you, Nick! Go get 'em!
Can you spot the contradiction? It's not hard.
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: You "knew that Hammer was injured"...?
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: Don't you think that's a little funny?
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: I mean, it was the Steel Samurai who was injured!
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: It was
Will Powers!
![](49-Judge_Shock.png)
: Mr. Wright! Explain yourself!
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Yes, Mr. Hammer is dragging his leg in this photo.
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: P-pretending...?
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: That person was
Mr. Powers, not
Mr. Hammer!
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: Now, why did you think it was Mr. Hammer who was injured?
![](59-Dee_Upset.png)
: I-I already said it was Sal who told me! Th-that's right! He must have gotten it wrong.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: I think not.
![](21-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: Mr. Manella was at the run-through that morning. He would have known it was Mr. Powers who was injured. He saw it happen! Why would he tell you the wrong person?
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: You must have heard Mr. Manella wrong! Even though he said
Mr. Powers was injured...
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: You thought he was talking about
Mr. Hammer!
![](59-Dee_Upset.png)
: ... Now that you mention it...
![](26-Dee_Confident.png)
: Yes, I believe you're right.
![](20-Dee_Normal.png)
: I'm sure that's what happened.
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Yeah! ...
![](62-Maya_Exasperated.png)
: Nick!
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: You're supposed to be putting her on the spot, not helping her out!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Oh, right... I kind of talked myself out of that one, didn't I?
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: Quick! Start over!
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Ms. Vasquez!
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Actually, you didn't hear anything from Mr. Manella.
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: You saw Mr. Hammer limping with your own eyes!
![](49-Judge_Shock.png)
: Yes, but... Wasn't it Mr. Powers who was injured...?
![](19-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Yes, but remember!
![](21-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: Mr. Hammer was dragging his leg, too!
![](11-Judge_Normal.png)
: Aah!
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: And when was he doing this...?
![](65-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: Well... It would have been after he put on the Steel Samurai costume... and went to
Studio Two. Where he was murdered!
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Exactly!
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Ms. Vasquez!
![](30-Phoenix_Point.png)
: That's why you were confused!
![](11-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order! I will have order!
![](45-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Witness!
![](42-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Can you refute this claim?
![](59-Dee_Upset.png)
: Hrrmmmm... hmph! ... ...
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Yeah, let's see you sneak out of this one, Vasquez!)
![](59-Dee_Upset.png)
: ... Very well! I have a question for you!
(Urk... Why are the real killers always so... persistent?)
![](59-Dee_Upset.png)
: Why in the world would I want Mr. Hammer dead? Yes, he'd fallen on hard times, but he was a star! I had nothing to gain from his death! Nothing!
![](10-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](11-Judge_Normal.png)
: Yes, you would need a
motive. Why would she have killed the victim? If there is a reason, it is unclear to this court.
![](12-Judge_Angry.png)
: Does the defense have anything to say on the matter?
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: Nick, no! Saying you can't prove it now would be admitting defeat! She'll get away!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: But... but what proof could I possibly have!?
![](13-Maya_Mad.png)
: I don't care if it's impossible, you still have to fight this one!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Ugh...
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Okay.
And we end up at the right choice's spot.
![](25-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: I have proof, and I'll show it to you!
But what could it be?
Next time: Victory?
