: That's right, Manfred von Karma. He's the best prosecutor there is. He hasn't lost a case in his 40-year career. He is a god of prosecution, Wright! A god!
![](5-Maya_Shock.png)
: Not a single case?
![](6-Edgeworth_Inquisitive.png)
: He'll do anything to get a guilty verdict, anything.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Hmm. Sounds like someone else I know, Edgeworth.
![](8-Edgeworth_Side.png)
: Hmph.
![](9-Edgeworth_Angry.png)
: You don't understand. I mean he'll really do anything. Manfred von Karma is a man to be feared.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(That's quite a claim coming from someone who forges evidence...)
![](4-Edgeworth_Grave.png)
: He taught me what it really means to "prosecute."
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Wh-what!?
![](9-Edgeworth_Angry.png)
: Just picture a prosecutor as vicious as me... multiplied by a factor of ten.
![](10-Maya_Tears.png)
: Ugh...
![](5-Maya_Shock.png)
: So... so was he your teacher, then, Mr. Edgeworth?
![](6-Edgeworth_Inquisitive.png)
: Something like that...
![](11-Maya_Angry.png)
: And now he's trying to get you found guilty!? What a creep!
![](12-Maya_Thinking.png)
: Oh, wait...
![](13-Maya_Happy.png)
: Maybe he's planning on losing on purpose to help you out!
![](8-Edgeworth_Side.png)
: Not a chance... He hasn't lost once in 40 years. 40 years!
![](9-Edgeworth_Angry.png)
: He's as ruthless as me, times twenty!
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: That's pretty ruthless...
![](4-Edgeworth_Grave.png)
: Like I said. He's a god among prosecutors.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(I guess that's something like Mia was to me. Speaking of Mia...) Um, Maya?
![](15-Maya_Normal.png)
: Uh huh?
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: We could really be using Mia's help right now... don't you think?
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: Oh...
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: ?
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: I can't.
![](16-Maya_Sad.png)
: Sorry. I tried, I really tried, but I couldn't reach.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: You couldn't "reach"?
![](16-Maya_Sad.png)
: I think it's because I haven't been training.
![](17-Maya_Concern.png)
: My powers are weak again...
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: Oh man, what bad timing! I'm really sorry. I'll try my best!
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: I hope so!
![](9-Edgeworth_Angry.png)
: What are you whispering about?
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: O-oh, it's nothing. Well, it's time. Let's head in...
![](22-Judge_Normal.png)
: Court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Miles Edgeworth.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: The defense is ready, Your Honor.
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Erm, Mr. von Karma? Is the prosecution ready?
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Fool...
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: R-right, my apologies!
![](29-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(He's even got the Judge scared!)
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Very well, your opening statement, please.
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: ... Decisive evidence... A decisive witness...
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: What else could possibly be required?
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Ah... er, nothing of course. That should be fine. The prosecution may call its first witness.
![](31-Maya_Exasperated.png)
: What's with this guy? Is he royalty or something?
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: How am I supposed to fight against this!?
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: I call the detective in charge of this case, Detective Dick Gumshoe.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
:
(Okay, Gumshoe's first... Let's see how this goes.)
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Describe the incident. Now!
![](33-Gumshoe_Concerned.png)
: Y-yessir!
![](34-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Detective Gumshoe looks nervous...)
![](33-Gumshoe_Concerned.png)
: Er, please take a look at the map.
![](33-Gumshoe_Concerned.png)
: There were two men on the boat.
![](33-Gumshoe_Concerned.png)
: At 12:10 AM, she heard
two pistol shots. Then the boat started to move.
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Hmm.
And while we're in here, our new profiles.
Anyway...
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Testify to the court about your arrest. Now!
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: W-w-wait! Mr. von Karma...
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: Yes?
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Actually, I'm the one that's supposed to be handling these proceedings...
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Wrong. There is only one thing you need to do here.
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: You will slam down your gavel and say the word "guilty." That is your role!
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Y-yes, of course. You're quite right.
![](29-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(No he's not!!!)
![](57-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm... I see. Very well...
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Begin your cross-examination, attorney. Now!
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: ...
![](34-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: You received a call from a "man"?
![](61-Gumshoe_Distracted.png)
: Er... yup.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: But you said there was a woman camping there?
![](62-Phoenix_Point.png)
: She was the one who heard the two gunshots, right?
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: That woman and the "man" who called in the report are two different people, obviously!
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Different people?
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: There were two witnesses!
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Their testimonies were quite similar however. Today I've summoned the woman who was camping.
![](34-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(The woman who was camping... Lotta Hart.)
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: What happened next, Detective?
![](34-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: How long was it between receiving the report and your arrival at the lake?
![](61-Gumshoe_Distracted.png)
: Er, well... I'd say it was about three minutes.
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: That's pretty fast!
![](66-Gumshoe_Confident.png)
: Our motto for the month is "get there quick."
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: Y-yessir! Sorry, sir!
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Do that and you'll be able to look forward to your next salary review.
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: So much to look forward to, these days...
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: This is no time for daydreaming! Continue!
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: Y-yessir!
![](23-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: What was Mr. Edgeworth like when you saw him then?
![](61-Gumshoe_Distracted.png)
: Well... From what I saw, he looked pretty relaxed. Not like a murderer at all, really.
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: Detective! The court requires the facts, NOT your opinion! How many years have you been on the force!?
![](72-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: Facts only, Detective! Hard, cold, objective facts!
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: Y-y-yessir!
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Man, he's got his share of objections...)
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Why didn't you think he was suspicious?
![](75-Gumshoe_Normal.png)
: You should know! We have a deep, trusting relationship with the prosecutors.
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: Detective! The court isn't interested in your musings! "Deep"? "Trusting"? Poppycock!
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: I've never heard so many flippant comments from an active detective on the force!
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: Mmph!
![](34-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Detective Gumshoe doesn't look so good...)
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Continue! Now!
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Did you find any clues on the body?
![](61-Gumshoe_Distracted.png)
: He was shot through the heart... fatally.
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Judge! Here's the bullet... It didn't strike bone, so its shape is well preserved.
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Very well. The court accepts this bullet into evidence.
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: W-why is that?
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: Well, we found
the murder weapon in the boat.
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: The murder weapon...?
![](81-Judge_Angry.png)
: Detective Gumshoe... That is a vital piece of information. Please revise your testimony.
![](33-Gumshoe_Concerned.png)
: Right! S-sorry, Your Honor.
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: What about the pistol made it "decisive evidence"?
![](29-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(Ack! He has the same evil laugh as Edgeworth...)
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: They were clear prints from
Mr. Edgeworth's right hand.
![](22-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order!
![](81-Judge_Angry.png)
: So Mr. Edgeworth's fingerprints were found on the murder weapon!?
![](69-Gumshoe_Dejected.png)
: Y-yes, Your Honor.
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: A-accepted into evidence.
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: Members of the court... We now have
the pistol used in the murder, and
the bullet found in the body!
![](72-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: Detective!
![](33-Gumshoe_Concerned.png)
: Y-y-yessir!
![](81-Judge_Angry.png)
: ...
![](91-Maya_Hopeful.png)
: Hey, Nick!
![](92-Maya_Thoughtful.png)
: What does he mean, "ballistic markings"?
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Shocking! To imagine someone here does not know something as basic as ballistic markings!
![](31-Maya_Exasperated.png)
: N-Nick! He's glaring at me!
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Tsk... very well, I'll explain. Actually, Judge! You do it.
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Eh? M-me? ...
![](57-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Erm, ahem.
![](22-Judge_Normal.png)
: Ballistic markings are like the "
fingerprints" of a gun. The barrel leaves distinctive marks on each bullet it fires. You can examine these "
ballistic fingerprints" to see
which gun fired the shot. It's quite accurate.
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Indeed.
![](72-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: This pistol which, as you may recall, was covered with the defendant's own fingerprints!
![](22-Judge_Normal.png)
: O-order! Order!
![](73-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(This is bad... This makes it look like Edgeworth did it!)
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Well, Judge?
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: I'd say it's almost decisive, yes. Honestly, I could declare a verdict at this point. However...
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: You wish to hear the witness speak, no doubt. Very well.
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: I am somewhat fatigued, and so I will take a brief break. I will call my witness after the recess. Which will last ten minutes.
![](30-Manfred_Normal.png)
: Judge!
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Y-yes?
![](27-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: What are you doing? A ten minute recess! Now!
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: B-but, wait, I...
![](72-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: Just bang your flimsy gavel and get on with it, man!
![](25-Judge_Shock.png)
: Y-yes!
![](22-Judge_Normal.png)
: Ahem. The court will take a ten minute recess.
![](29-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(Who's running this court, anyway!?)
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Your fingerprints were on the murder weapon!
![](97-Edgeworth_Concern.png)
: Uh... hmm...
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: The only one who could have shot that man was the person in the photo!
![](97-Edgeworth_Concern.png)
: True...
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Was that you in the boat?
![](97-Edgeworth_Concern.png)
: ... Yes. It was me.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: What!?
![](9-Edgeworth_Angry.png)
: But... you must believe me. I didn't shoot him.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Th-then who did!?
![](97-Edgeworth_Concern.png)
: I... don't know.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: You don't know!? Weren't you right there!?
![](97-Edgeworth_Concern.png)
: ... I heard a gunshot from very close by. Then... the other man fell from the boat. I can't say why, but...
![](4-Edgeworth_Grave.png)
: I thought, at the time, that he had shot himself!
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Y-you mean it was a suicide!?
![](4-Edgeworth_Grave.png)
: ...
![](8-Edgeworth_Side.png)
: That's the only explanation I can come up with.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Huh...
(How am I going to convince anyone of that!?) Say, Maya?
![](5-Maya_Shock.png)
: Huh? Wh-what?
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Any progress with Mia?
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: Oh... Sorry. It's no good.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Ugh...
![](16-Maya_Sad.png)
: I know... I'm no good for anything, am I, Nick?
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Um, well, actually...
(You don't know law, you don't have any trial experience or techniques... Yeah, you're pretty much useless... but I can't say that!)
![](10-Maya_Tears.png)
: It's okay Nick. You don't have to say anything. Your face said it for you.
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(Whoops!) N-no, o-of course we... I'm sorry.
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: It's okay, Nick.
Or...
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: No, of course not, I need you here! I can see you're always trying to help out. Even if oyu don't actually help... it's the thought that counts, right?
![](16-Maya_Sad.png)
: It's okay Nick. You don't have to make me feel better.
Convergence.
![](14-Maya_Dejected.png)
: I don't know anything about trials, or defense... What's more, I'm a spirit medium who can't even contact spirits...
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Aww, everyone has their off days! I mean, I've just been getting lucky lately... But you never know when my luck is going to run out!
![](10-Maya_Tears.png)
: Really...?
![](9-Edgeworth_Angry.png)
: Don't jinx this case any worse than it already is!
![](8-Edgeworth_Side.png)
: It's bad for my heart...
![](7-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Oh? Oh! S-sorry...
(Whoops!)
