Big trouble, Your Honor!
The witness from earlier has disappeared!
What?
He seems to have fled!
I cannot declare a verdict under these circumstances.
As such, I will extend the trial until tomorrow.
Court is adjourned!

Why did that old man frame Edgeworth?
I don't know,
Turnabout Goodbyes — 4th Trial
but I'm sure it involves the DL-6 Incident.
But wasn't Edgeworth a victim, too?
His father was murdered.
He has suffered for fifteen long years...
I want to help him!
You're so nice, Nick.
He's a friend you hadn't seen in years,
but you're willing to go this far for him.
There's a reason why.
In the summer of fourth grade,
our classroom became a crime scene.
You did it, didn't you?
During PE, a student's lunch money was stolen.
Thief! Thief!
Now, apologize to the class.
I'd skipped PE, so I was the prime suspect.
I learned what it meant to be truly alone, with no one on your side.
And how painful it could be.
Left with no choice, I went to apologize for something I didn't do.
But that's when...
Objection!
That will not be necessary!
Miles?
It wasn't you who stole my money, was it?
No.
Then hold your head high.
Everyone's been shouting that you did it, but no one has any proof.
What are you saying?
It was your money that was stolen!
We don't need proof!
Lunch Money Receipt Class 4-3 Miles Edgeworth
In a court of law, the evidence tells all.
Before you have the pretension to hold a class trial, at least realize that!
You tell 'em!
This is always how it is, everybody ganging up and picking on one person.
Aren't you guys ashamed of yourselves?
Larry...
Without evidence or eyewitness testimony to prove his guilt,
this boy is innocent.
I rest my case!
This trial is over. Court is adjourned!
Get going! Court is adjourned!
After that, the three of us became friends.
I still can't forget his spirited defense of me that day.
Defense, huh?
Come to think of it,
Edgeworth's father was a skilled defense attorney, right?
Yeah.
He'd always say,
"I'm going to become a defense attorney just like my father,"
with a glint in his eye.
That's why it came as a huge shock
when we heard his father had died.
The DL-6 Incident...
Back then, we didn't really understand it.
But soon after the incident,
Edgeworth transferred away.
I believe that friendship never fades, even if you grow apart.
Signal Samurai...
It wasn't until several years later that I saw his name again.
Genius Prosecutor Wins Again! Dark Rumors Follow Victory
Dark Suspicions Surround Genius Prosecutor Truth Behind the 100% Record... Fabricating Evidence, Manipulating Testimonies, Concealing Facts
"Dark suspicions surround genius prosecutor"?
"Truth behind the 100% record..."
He'd changed.
I tried to reach him countless times.
But he refused to meet me.
So I decided to set foot in his territory.
In court.
I believe in the Edgeworth who believed in me.
And I'm a defense attorney now!
So I want to fight for him until the very end!
Nick...
Hello.
You found him?
Boat Rental
We caught him trying to flee, pal.
We're gonna search the boat rental now.
You wanna come, pal?
According to your deduction,
the victim wasn't shot in the boat that night...
Boat Rental
I think this shack is probably the real crime scene.
When you think a murder occurred here, it looks really creepy...
Good morning. Good morning.
It's just that thing.
Polly!
When we arrested the old man, he had this parrot with him.
I bet that stuck out like a sore thumb...
That's how we managed to catch him, pal.
Say, Polly!
You know who the old man really is, right? Tell us!
Polly... I love you. I love you.
There aren't any clues here at all.
The only thing that remains is the warmth of this heated table.
Really warms you up, doesn't it?
The shack's next to a lake, but those fish are saltwater.
Maybe that's a lead!
I'll report it, just in case.
This safe is the other thing that's clearly strange.
Yeah, clearly!
It's been locked with a four-digit combination.
Oh, I know it!
Huh? You do?
Say, Polly!
What's the combination to the safe?
Combination to the safe...
1228. 1228.
For real, pal?!
For real, pal.
Something's in there!
A letter.
The sender's name isn't on it...
"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth."
"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth.
This is your last chance.
Now is the time to get revenge on the two men who ruined your life."
It's all here in perfect detail.
The plan to murder Hammond and frame Edgeworth for it!
What does this mean?
In short, there was a mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes!
I'm gonna try and learn everything about that old man's past, pal!
Who would send a letter like this?
Could this be connected to DL-6, too?
Mr. Grossberg!
You're... Wright?
I have a favor to ask.
Looks like the time has finally come.
Let me out of here...
Settle down.
I can't breathe!
The air... There's no air...
You... Stop breathing!
Settle down, I said.
Stop... Stop breathing my air!
Stop it!
No...
Release my father!
Die!
Court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Miles Edgeworth.
December 28, 10 AM District Court — Courtroom No. 3
Your opening statement, Mr. von Karma.
In yesterday's trial,
the defense pointed the finger at the boat rental's caretaker.
But he denies any wrongdoing.
So, to prove his innocence, I will call him to testify once more.
Witness — ???
Very well.
Your testimony, please.
Witness Testimony
Er, I'm really sorry about just leaving yesterday like I did.
I, uh, went to buy Polly some food, see.
Polly?
My partner, so to speak.
A parrot.
Food for his parrot?
He was not trying to flee.
That is the truth.
I see.
Defense, your cross-examination.
Yesterday, you claimed that you've lost your memory.
Is that true?
What's with the scary face, Keith?
You're making Dad very sad.
If we consider that you killed Hammond,
you should remember committing the murder!
Objection!
That is a baseless accusation!
I would never dream of committing a heinous murder, ayup.
If you say the witness does, in fact, remember his past,
then show us proof of it.
There, we go!
Give me that, Maya.
Sure thing.
Here's your proof!
A letter found in his room, inside the safe!
"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth."
Wh-What is this?
This letter has detailed instructions on how to exact that revenge.
Dear me...
It details the exact same process the defense explained yesterday.
The witness carried out this plan,
and tried to frame my client.
That means he had a motive to seek revenge!
Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth. This is your last chance. Now is the time to get revenge on the two men who ruined your life.
And this letter is irrefutable proof of his guilt!
Allow me to ask one question, then.
That letter does not contain the names of the sender or recipient, does it?
W-Well...
It is a mere scrap that anyone could have sent to anyone.
We can hardly call it proof!
The defense's claims are still only unfounded speculation.
In the first place, nothing links this witness to the defendant!
Objection!
The victim, Hammond, and Edgeworth shared a connection.
The DL-6 Incident.
The case in which the defendant's father was murdered.
And Hammond was the one who defended the suspect!
But what does that case have to do with this witness?
The DL-6 Incident, which occurred fifteen years ago, is at the root of this murder.
Isn't that right, witness?
There's one man who knows what happened back then.
The defense would like to call Marvin Grossberg to testify.
Request accepted.
Call your witness to the stand.
Witness — Marvin Grossberg
I'm Marvin Grossberg, an attorney.
The victim in this trial, Hammond, once worked for me.
Please tell us about the DL-6 Incident.
It happened fifteen years ago, on December 28.
Coincidentally, that is also today's date.
It occurred here, in the district courthouse.
That day, there was a major blackout,
and three people were trapped in an elevator.
Hours later, when the rescue team got in,
they found Gregory Edgeworth dead inside.
He had died instantly after being shot through the heart.
There were two others in the elevator with him.
Miles, who was ten years old at the time,
and a court bailiff.
Yanni Yogi, I think his name was.
At first, it was considered an open-and-shut case.
That Yogi had shot the victim in a panic.
However, he pled not guilty.
The investigation hit a dead end,
and the police turned to a spirit medium for help.
Fifteen Years Ago
The one...
Kurain Village — Channeling Chamber
The one who shot me was
the bailiff, Yanni Yogi.
How is Miles?
Is Miles all right?
The victim's spirit said that Yogi killed him.
The medium's name was Misty Fey.
Her overwhelming power left all who witnessed it speechless.
Mom...
The defense admitted that he might have fired the gun,
but added that, due to severe lack of oxygen in the elevator,
Yogi hadn't been of sound mind and couldn't be held responsible.
With that claim, Hammond forced a verdict of not guilty.
Because of that,
despite his acquittal, Yogi was socially vilified.
So an acquittal wasn't enough to truly save Yogi?
Due to Hammond's defense, he lost everything,
his work and his family.
One year after the trial,
Yogi's fiancée committed suicide...
No way.
So Yogi had reason to resent Hammond, didn't he?
Indeed.
And if he really was innocent,
he must also resent Gregory Edgeworth's spirit for accusing him of murder.
Your Honor!
We now know that an individual exists who has a clear motive!
His name is Yanni Yogi,
and he is here right now!
Former court bailiff Yanni Yogi.
That is your name, isn't it?!
Who knows?
There's no point in playing dumb!
We can find out by comparing fingerprints!
The witness burned his fingers in an accident a few years ago.
We cannot fingerprint him...
He burned off his fingerprints to hide his past?
Do you have any other way to prove your claims?
The defense has nothing to say.
This cross-examination is over.
I'm so close...
But I can't connect the witness to the DL-6 Incident!
If only we had a witness like Polly, who knows everything—
Oh, Nick!
Yeah... That's it!
The defense would like to cross-examine the witness's pet parrot!
Wh-What?
The parrot?
What is the world coming to?
Witness — Polly
Good morning. Good morning.
I'm counting on you, Maya.
You got it.
Cross-Examination
Er...
What's your name?
Polly. Polly.
Wow, it can understand what you're saying?
Yes, Your Honor.
Polly, what's the combination to the safe?
Combination to the safe...
1228.
I can't tell if this parrot is useful or careless.
This parrot knows about the DL-6 Incident!
If we can get her to say it in court...
Polly, have we forgotten anything?
Come on, anything we've forgotten?
Huh? That's weird.
What's the meaning of this?
It isn't working, Nick!
Polly won't say it!
von Karma is perfect. You would do well to keep that in mind.
Don't tell me von Karma expected this.
He couldn't have retrained the parrot, could he?!
DL-6 Case File
Let us excuse Miss Polly from the stand.
Hold it!
Polly has already given us a vital piece of information.
What?
Autopsy Report Polly Jenkins
This was in Yanni Yogi's file.
Please take a look at his fiancée's name.
Polly Jenkins
"Polly Jenkins..."
Polly? Could this be...
You named your pet parrot after your late fiancée, didn't you?
A mere coincidence.
Then what about the combination to the safe?
Polly, what's the combination to the safe?
1228.
What about it?
1228...
December 28.
The date of the DL-6 Incident!
Another coincidence.
Judge!
Get rid of this bird at once!
Objection!
Two coincidences at the same time is more of a pattern, if you ask me.
Add this letter, and we're left with but one conclusion!
Witness, your name is Yanni Yogi, isn't it?!
Objection!
No need to answer!
It isn't worth dignifying such baseless—
That's enough!
What?
I've accomplished what I wanted.
I'm done.
Who said you could...
As the defense says,
my name is Yanni Yogi.
I used to serve as a bailiff in this very court.
Th-Then...
You're saying that you killed Hammond, and tried to frame Miles Edgeworth?
Yes, I admit it.
Order!
Fifteen years ago, that attorney paid absolutely no heed to my words.
Fifteen Years Ago Visitor's Room
If we want to win this case, we can't be picky about our methods.
Understand?
How's Polly doing?
If you want to see her again, do as I say.
I didn't shoot that man.
However, that attorney made me admit to it,
saying it was the only way to acquit me.
But my release didn't change a thing.
Everyone continued to treat me like a murderer.
Quit pestering me.
I couldn't do a thing.
And Polly... She said she was sick and tired of it all...
Ever since, I've lived my life away from the public eye.
Dreaming of the day I'd get my revenge!
But why did you target Edgeworth, too?
He was just a child fifteen years ago!
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Your Honor!
The boat shop owner, Yanni Yogi, has just confessed to the crime!
The defense asks that you declare the defendant not guilty!
What do you say, Mr. von Karma?
I suppose he is innocent...
In this case, at least.
I shall hereby hand down the verdict for Mr. Miles Edgeworth.
Not guilty!
Not Guilty
Way to go, Nick!
Edgey!
It's finally over...
That is all. Court is adj—
Objection!
Your Honor...
I confess my guilt.
The true culprit in the DL-6 Incident...
It was I!
Edgeworth?
Ace Attorney
Objection!
The curtain has closed on the Gourd Lake case.
But the mystery of the DL-6 Incident, where it all began,
leads Edgeworth and me to a new battle.
To break through von Karma's scheme and reach the truth,
Edgeworth, Maya, Larry, and I enact a plan
that will shake the court to its core.
Find the contradictions!
Reach out to the truth!
