- But today, I must fight alone to save Maya!

- 田 Ace Attorney
- 田 Turnabout Sisters — 2nd Trial
- April 6, 10 AM District Court — Courtroom No. 1
- 田 Defense Lawyer — Phoenix Wright
- 田 Prosecutor — Miles Edgeworth
- I'm up against Miles Edgeworth,
- the unprecedented genius prosecutor...
- 田 Defendant — Maya Fey
- 田 Judge
- Court is now in session for the trial of Ms. Maya Fey.
- The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.
- The defense is ready, Your Honor.
- Mr. Edgeworth, please give the court your opening statement.
- Certainly, Your Honor.
- 田 Victim: Mia Fey (27) Suspect: Maya Fey (17)
- The victim is Mia Fey.
- And the suspect, Maya Fey.
- The two of them were sisters.
- The prosecution has evidence the defendant committed the murder,
- and we have a witness who saw her do it.
- The prosecution sees no reason to doubt her guilt, Your Honor.
- Thus, let the first witness take the stand.
- Witness, please state your name and profession.
- Sir! My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir.
- I'm the detective in charge of homicides down at the precinct, sir!
- 田 Witness: District Police Detective Dick Gumshoe
- Detective, I believe you are already aware of this,
- but keep your testimony concise and to the point.
- Y-Y-Yes, sir!
- 田 Witness Testimony
- First, describe the details of the murder.
- Very well. Let me use this floor plan of the office to explain.
- The body was found here, by this window.
- Body
- And the cause of death?
- She died instantly due to being struck by a blunt object, sir!
- The murder weapon was a statue of 田 The Thinker 田 , correct?
- Yes, sir. It was found lying next to the body.
- You immediately arrested Ms. Maya Fey, who was found at the scene.
- Can you tell me why?
- I had hard evidence she did it, sir.
- 田 Receipt April 2 Antique glass light stand
- 田 Before she died, the victim wrote the killer's name.
- 田 Maya
- The word "Maya" was clearly written in blood!
- Right there!
- 田 Maya
- 田 Maya
- Test results showed the blood belonged to the victim.
- That's hard evidence!
- So the victim identified her killer right before she died?
- Yes, sir! That's exactly it—
- Objection!
- Objection!
- Hang on a second!
- There's no way the victim could've written that bloody message!
- Amateurs would do well to keep their mouths shut, pal.
- This is your department's autopsy report, Detective.
- And it says the victim "died instantly due to blunt force trauma."
- That's right, pal.
- And after the blow instantly killed her, she used her last ounce of strength—
- Wait, there was no ounce or pound! She was dead!
- Huh?
- But...
- No butting your way out of this one!
- Th-That certainly is strange...
- The prosecution's evidence is contradictory!
- This could work!
- What's so funny?
- My, my.
- That won't do, defense.
- Autopsy Report
- That autopsy report is outdated.
- Wh-What?
- Yesterday, a second autopsy was performed, which changed the report.
- From "died instantly"
- to "died pretty much instantly."
- P-P—
- P-P-Pretty much?
- Which means that the victim could have written that message.
- After all, she didn't die instantly...
- Indeed. The defense really ought to peruse the evidence beforehand.
- P-Please wait!
- I haven't heard anything about a second autopsy!
- Well, I did only receive the results this morning.
- Apparently, there was a mistake in the paperwork.
- Isn't that right, Detective Gumshoe?
- Huh? But I didn't...
- Regardless, the defense seems to have dug its own grave.
- Y-You're playing dirty, Edgeworth.
- Allow me to dispense some advice.
- In court, proof is everything. Without it, you are nothing, amateur!
- It seems our upstart defense attorney
- is "pretty much" DOA.
- So it was a trap...
- Mr. Lawyer...
- The prosecution would like to call its next witness.
- This poor, innocent lady saw the murder with her own eyes!
- Sorry to keep you waiting, my dears!
- Witness, please state your name.
- April May!
- At your service!
- 田 Witness — April May
- The witness will refrain from wanton winking.
- Yes, Your Honor!
- She's already captured the heart of every man in the court.
- Testify to the court about what you saw on April 3rd, the night of the murder.
- Sure thing.
- 田 Witness Testimony
- I saw it all happen with my own eyes...
- 田 Testimony
- That night, I just looked out the window.
- And then,
- I saw a long-haired woman being attacked in the building across the street!
- The one attacking her was the mousy girl
- seated in the defendant's chair!
- N-No!
- I didn't...
- Witness, do you recall the exact time?
- Yeah.
- I, like, heard a voice.
- Testimony
- It's 8:50, I think...
- The murder weapon spoke?
- Yes, at a glance, it doesn't appear to be a clock.
- It's a fact the witness couldn't know unless she saw the moment of the murder.
- Yes, we should consider her testimony to be true.
- With the bloody message the victim left behind
- and the eyewitness testimony to the crime,
- the prosecution believes the defendant's guilt has been proven beyond doubt.
- Beyond a shadow of a doubt!
- What should I do?
- Hold it!
- Hold it!
- Wait a minute!
- What is it, defendant?
- That clock couldn't have gone off—
- Who said you could speak, defendant?
- O-Oh, right...
- Objection!
- Please inspect the inside of that 田 Thinker 田 , Your Honor!
- Th-The inside?
- It's quite empty...
- On the night of the murder, it was missing its clockwork, so—
- It could not have gone off, yes?
- It is empty inside.
- Anyone could have drawn that conclusion.
- Well, I didn't.
- The question is when the clockwork fell out.
- Fell out?
- Yes, when the clock was used to strike the victim, it spoke the time.
- 田 It's 8:50, I think...
- And then, the impact broke the base, and the clockwork fell out.
- B-But what about the clockwork?
- It was found at the crime scene, on the floor.
- What of it?
- Hmm... That does make sense.
- It is futile, my amateur defense attorney.
- I use every piece of evidence the police find for my deductions.
- I overlook nothing!
- Wh-What?
- The only way to prove me wrong
- would be to prove when and how the clockwork was removed.
- But I can state without a doubt that is impossible.
- Impossible. Without doubt.
- When the clockwork was removed?
- What evidence could prove that?
- A piece of evidence Edgeworth isn't aware of.
- 田 Maya
- Oh, I know!
- Objection!
- Objection!
- What's with that cute cell phone?
- This is the defendant's cell phone, found at the crime scene!
- What?!
- And it contains a recording of
- the conversation between the victim and defendant on the day of the murder!
- This wasn't brought to my attention.
- Well, I, uh...
- Detective Gumshoe, look forward to next month's evaluation.
- Order! Order!
- Oh, but at the moment, the clock doesn't talk.
- I had to remove the clockwork.
- I put some papers inside instead.
- Is that the evidence, then?
- Sharp as always.
- Conversation recorded. April 3, 9:27 AM.
- In other words, on the morning of the murder, the clockwork was already gone.
- So it couldn't have gone off that night.
- Ms. May...
- Your testimony contains a clear contradiction!
- N-No way.
- That call was recorded?
- What did you just say?
- "That call was recorded"?
- Did you know about their conversation—
- Objection!
- Objection!
- That is irrelevant to this case.
- No need to continue this line of questioning.
- Oh, I disagree!
- So that's what all this was about...
- Ms. May, you were listening in on the calls of the Fey & Co. Law Offices!
- Using this!
- I-Is that a wiretap?
- I found it in the trash can of her hotel room.
- Well, how about it, Ms. May?
- You were tapping the phone at the crime scene.
- That's a crime punishable by law!
- Shut up, Spikey!
- Who cares about some wiretap, darn it?!
- I'm telling you that girl did it.
- Just lead her to the gallows already, darn it!
- D-Darn it?
- I was just ordered to listen to their conversations.
- I had nothing to do with the murder, darn it!
- You were ordered to tap the phone?
- By whom?
- Was the person who ordered you to perform the wiretap
- the owner of this cufflink?
- H-How'd you—
- That's enough!
- Your Honor...
- What is it, Mr. Edgeworth?
- As you can see, some unexpected facts about this case have come to light.
- In order to further investigate,
- the prosecution requests that court be adjourned till tomorrow.
- The court accepts the prosecution's request.
- The prosecution and defense are to look into this matter fully.
- Yes, Your Honor.
- That does it for Ms. Maya Fey's trial today.
- Court is adjourned.
- April May was arrested on the spot for wiretapping.
- Lobby 2
- Mr. Lawyer...
- You were amazing in there!
- You did well hanging in there, also.
- I think I might be your newest fan!
- You were so cool!
- Oh, no...
- The guards were all talking about you, also.
- R-Really?
- They said for such a spiky-head, you were pretty good!
- What does my hair have to do with anything?
- I'm just so happy.
- I'm on cloud nine!
- We owe it all to April May's slip of the tongue back then.
- Thank you so very much, Mr. Lawyer.
- You're welcome.
- Then, I'm heading out to investigate.
- I need to find some leads before tomorrow.
- Okay.
- If you need me, I'll be back at the detention center!
- Fey & Co. Law Offices
- That said, where am I supposed to find those leads?
- Mr. Grossberg!
- So you came to see the trial?
- It's astonishing that you went up against Edgeworth and got the trial extended.
- Thank you.
- Anyway, what brings you here?
- Mr. Grossberg?
- I'm truly sorry, my boy...
- You're fighting with all you've got, despite being a rookie.
- But I ran away.
- And seeing your courageous defense made me realize
- that it might be time to bolster my resolve.
- Resolve?
- Investigate this man.
- Who is this?
- Redd White,
- president of a company called "Bluecorp."
- Redd White...
- Wait, that cufflink!
- On the outside, Bluecorp is an information-gathering company.
- But in truth,
- it digs up dirt on people, forcing them to pay a fortune to keep the company quiet.
- Wait, what?
- That's blackmail!
- And as embarrassed as I am to admit it,
- I couldn't defy that man, either.
- Is that why you refused to defend Maya?
- Yes.
- Some attorney I am...
- But why hasn't he been arrested?
- Blackmail is a crime!
- He owns businessmen, politicians, policemen, and the judiciary.
- He's the most dangerous man in the country.
- U-Unbelievable...
- And for years, Mia was following his every move.
- The chief was?
- S, T, U, V...
- W... Wh... White...
- Huh?
- V X Y Z
- It's gone. The "W" file is missing.
- And for years, Mia was following his every move.
- If White was the one who stole the file...
- Yes, it was him.
- Are you absolutely sure April May checked in with this man?
- Ab-SO-lutely.
- 田 Gatewater Hotel — Bellboy
- She's such a beautiful lady, I was jealous of the man with her.
- Then, the one who ordered the wiretap really was...
- Redd White!
- What's with the surreal decor?
- What's your name?
- What the...
- 田 Bluecorp President — Redd White
- Oh, h-hello.
- Your name! What's your name?
- Furnish me with the title of your personage!
- What's your name?
- I-I'm Wright...
- I lived in America for a long time,
- so I have a hard time with Japanish.
- Really?
- I'm Redd White... The president, el presidente, of this company.
- By the way, you are a mere attorney, fresh out of law school, right?
- Well, yes.
- I heard from my secretariat.
- So, "mighty" lawyer...
- What's the matter?
- What business do you have with me?
- Ms. April May...
- You know her, right?
- Yes, I do!
- She was my secretariat.
- What a shock it was to hear what she'd done!
- "What she'd done." You mean the wiretap?
- Yes, we can!
- Of course.
- Yes, information-gathering is what this company does.
- But I assure you, we would never resort to illegal methods, such as wiretaps.
- Ms. May says she was acting under orders, though.
- She's passing the buck?
- What a bad, bad kitten...
- The day she witnessed the murder,
- you checked in with her at that hotel, right?
- Who can say?
- I seldom pay attention to mundane details such as time and place.
- My motto is "Don't worry, be happy!"
- But the hotel bellboy remembered you clearly.
- "Never trust bellboys or lawyers."
- That is my rule in life!
- I found this lying in the room.
- I think "Don't worry, be happy" is unlikely to get you out of this.
- What is it that you should be doing now?
- Investigating me?
- No, no, no. I think not.
- You should be searching for the one who killed Miss Mia.
- Isn't that right?
- You are absolutely right.
- And that is why I'm here.
- Just what are you insinuating?
- Mia was onto you. She was keeping tabs.
- For this reason you had April May tap her phone.
- Then Mia was murdered,
- and all the documents about you mysteriously disappeared.
- So the culprit would be?
- Even a child could work it out!
- Right, Mr. White?
- Secretary's office.
- Tell the Chief Prosecutor
- that I'll testify tomorrow at the trial for Mia Fey's murder.
- I'll give them some hot, hot information.
- Certainly.
- Oh, and call the police over at once, please!
- Certainly.
- What are you playing at?
- Did I not tell you, Mr. Wrong?
- You are a mere lawyer.
- As was Miss Mia...
- Then you really did kill her?!
- No, it was you who did it.
- I'm going to point the finger at you
- and have you tried as Miss Mia's true killer!
- Wh-What?!
- Freeze!
- This is the police, pal!
- Well done, Detective.
- I present to you the man who killed Mia Fey.
- Wh-What?
- It was you?
- Believe me, Detective! I didn't—
- Oh, save that for when you're out of my sight, please.
- Wh-What in the world?
- Go with him!
- Take him away.
- Farewell, Mr. Wrong.
- Redd—
- This is Edgeworth.
- What?
- The defense attorney?
- You're free to go.
- Get out. Now.
- O-Okay!
- All right... Get in.
- Mr. Lawyer!
- Ace Attorney
- Objection!
- I object to my arrest!
- Redd White is truly terrifying.
- Just how influential is he?
- Of course, I didn't kill the chief.
- To help Maya and the late Mia, I must carefully consider all the testimony...
- Reexamine all the evidence!
- I will expose the true culprit.
- Edgeworth, this is my defense!
- Find the contradictions!
- Reach out to the truth!
