The one who took Mia's life was Redd White, president of Bluecorp.
I barged into his office for a face-to-face confrontation.
But instead, I ended up getting arrested and accused of Mia's murder.
Ace Attorney
April 7, 9:52 AM District Court
You don't have a lawyer, Mr. Lawyer?!
Turnabout Sisters - Last Trial
White must've thrown his weight around.
Anyway, court will be in session soon.
B-But...
It's okay. I've got an idea.
One way or another, this case will be decided today.
Yeah.
April 7, 10 AM District Court — Courtroom No. 1
Well, then.
Since court was adjourned yesterday,
it seems things have drastically changed due to the prosecution's findings.
Correct?
We believed the victim was murdered by her sister Maya and indicted her.
But yesterday's emergence of a new witness and new evidence
highlights the one we believe to be the true culprit!
The suspect is Phoenix Wright,
the attorney standing over there.
This is truly shocking.
The original suspect's attorney was the real culprit all along?
While it may be unprecedented, the prosecution seeks to prove the guilt
of Phoenix Wright, the defense attorney.
But then...
Who, exactly, will defend him?
Don't worry.
I will defend myself.
Wh-What?
Your Honor, the defense, Phoenix Wright, is ready!
Nice. That's the way.
You may begin, Mr. Edgeworth.
Without any further ado,
let the witness who saw Phoenix Wright commit the murder take the stand!
Bluecorp President — Redd White
My name is Redd White. But my friends call me Blanco Nino.
I am the CEO, or to use a more common term, the President, of Bluecorp.
Allow me to ask you this first:
have you ever visited the Fey & Co. Law Offices, the scene of the crime?
That would be a negatory! No, I have not.
The night of the murder, you were at the Gatewater Hotel.
Is that correct?
Yes.
And you witnessed the murder from there?
Uh-huh. I see you've done your homework.
Wait a second!
What is it, Mister Criminal?
Yesterday's witness, Ms. April May, was in the same room that night.
Oh, Miss Wiretapper?
She didn't say a word about seeing me at the crime scene!
Well, she's one lying miss...
That's why I'm here to reveal the truth, Mister Murderer.
You may begin your testimony.
Okay!
I hope you've made your peace, Mister Spiky Criminal.
Having spiky hair isn't a crime.
Let's shut that smirky, shiny scumbag up!
Witness Testimony
Let's see.
It was about 9:00 PM, I believe.
Testimony
I was perusifying... "reading" some papers by the window.
Then I heard a bedlam coming from outside!
Crash!
What?
What's going on?
It was then I saw him: a spiky-haired man attacking a woman with long hair!
What was that noise?
Terrible impaction!
Then it was all over.
My God!
I could never mistake that spiky hair.
No... That can't be true!
I mean—
That certainly was conclusive testimony.
It's almost like they're reading off a script.
Everything's proceeding too smoothly toward my conviction.
Now, defense, your cross-examination.
Yes, Your Honor.
Cross-Examination
Um, are you sure about the time?
I am always abso-posi-lutely perfect.
At 9 PM, I was startled by hearing that thing fall
and looked at the window across the way.
You heard "that thing fall"? What thing?
Um... Right, the glass light stand!
You compendrestand?
Yeah, it does seem to have fallen over.
Then his testimony contains no contradiction.
Wait...
That's odd!
If he heard it fall and only then looked at the window,
he couldn't have known what it was!
It broke into pieces when it fell!
Then how did he know about the light stand?
He said he'd never visited the crime scene.
R-R-Remove your impertinent gazes from me!
It was visible through the hotel window.
I saw it before it fell over!
So there are no contradictions, after all.
Objection!
What is the problemo?
The big problemo is that your testimony contains a total contradiction!
S-Say what?
Look at this.
If you were to look at the office from the hotel window,
Body
this is the area you would be able to see.
Well?
Note that the stand is not within the visible area!
On the night of the murder, the light stand was only visible from here,
inside the Fey & Co. Law Offices!
That means you were at the scene of the crime when the stand fell...
When the murder took place!
What?!
There is only one conclusion to be drawn from this, Mr. White!
You saw the light stand fall when you struck the victim with the murder weapon.
You are the one who killed Mia Fey.
The true culprit!
You did it, didn't you?
A-Accursed attorney...
Hold it!
I think the time has come for you to confess your crime, witness...
Wh-What?
Yes, confess to the murder—
What in the world are you talking about?
The crime I advocate confessing to is this.
Isn't that the wiretap that was placed on the phone at the crime scene?
Objection!
But April May already admitted to eavesdropping on the calls yesterday!
The question isn't who was listening in,
but when this wiretap was placed in the office and by whom.
Whoever did it sneaked into the Fey & Co. Law Offices beforehand.
And naturally, they would have seen it then...
The glass light stand at the scene.
If that beautiful stand were etched in their memory,
then on the night of the murder,
that's the first thing they would think of upon hearing the crash.
Yes! You are most correct, Mister Prosecutor!
I was a bad, bad boy.
I tried to scapegoat that kitten.
What do you mean?
I was the one who placed the wiretap!
And to do it, I broke—waltzed— into the Fey & Co. Law Offices.
Y-You what?
I remember it all now.
That was when I saw that beautiful glass stand!
That means there is nothing wrong with the witness knowing about the stand!
Thus, the defense's baseless conjecture has come crashing down...
Order! Order in the court!
You mean to say that you realized the crash you heard was the light stand falling over
because you'd seen it back when you sneaked into the office?
Yes, I do.
That's exactly right, Mister Judge.
He will be tried for that on a later date.
I understand.
It seems there is no problem with his testimony about the night of the murder.
P-Please wait!
What now?
The defense isn't done with its cross-examination!
Damn it, I can't let him get away with this!
Good luck, Mr. Lawyer.
When did you place the wiretap?
I think it was toward the end of March, so around two weeks ago.
Do you have proof?
April May knew the details of the victim's phone conversation,
so it was there before the murder.
Oh, I see.
Were you really the one who placed the wiretap?
Of course. Ask Miss May about it.
Unidentified fingerprints, several days old, were found at the scene.
They probably belonged to the witness.
Edgeworth was hiding that those fingerprints were discovered.
Why did you tap Mia's phone?!
Objection!
That has no bearing on the current case.
Bluecorp has a responsibility to protect client confidentiality.
I don't have anything to press him on.
Mr. Lawyer...
I'm afraid that is as far as you go.
Well, you fought honorably.
For a rank amateur...
Is this the end?
It seems as though that's that.
The end!
That was fun, Mister Attorney!
The defense ends its cross—
Wright...
Wright!
Mia—I mean, Chief?!
Shh.
It appears that the desperate desire to save you has awakened her powers.
S-So Maya is channeling you?
That's right.
I am Maya.
But right now, I'm Mia.
Listen to me, Wright.
Maya never gave up.
That's why I'm here.
So you can't, either.
B-But...
Listen. You've already won.
A receipt is among the evidence, right?
Maya
The one you wrote "Maya" on?
Silly.
White wrote that, obviously!
Anyway, take another look at that receipt.
Receipt April 2 Antique Glass Light Stand
What about this receipt?
Receipt April 2
Seems you've got it.
With this, the trial is concluded. I shall now declare the verdict—
Hold it!
Maya
One last thing. Please look at this.
Maya
It's too late.
At this point, that is meaningless.
But this is the back.
What?
Maya
The front is what matters.
Receipt April 2 Antique Glass Light Stand
This is a receipt!
A receipt?
For what?
Maya
"Antique Glass Light Stand"?
The stand that fell over and broke during the murder.
Your Honor, what's the date of purchase?
Um, April 2...
April 2.
Yes, the day before the murder!
Th-The day before?
So, when you allegedly entered Fey & Co. Law Offices at the end of March,
the stand could not have been there!
It can't be...
Lie as much as you want,
but you can't get out of this one!
Wh-What?!
Wh-Wh-What?!
Your Honor,
do you still intend to declare me guilty?!
Never...
I'll never accept this!
The spiky-head there did it—
Hold it!
Your Honor,
the prosecution requests the trial be extended one more day.
Huh?
We would like to perform another inquiry and submit new evidence.
Don't let them get away. You must settle things, here and now.
Y-Yeah, but how?
Very well.
This trial will be extended till tomorrow.
N-No way...
What a farce.
I refuse to testify further.
Goodbye forever, ladies and gentlemen!
Not so fast!
Wh-What is this?
Is that what Mia was just scribbling?
I-Impossachievable.
What's this list...
It's a list of businessmen, politicians, and celebrities you've blackmailed.
Why is it here? I disposed of it that night.
If it were released to the media, I wonder what would happen to you.
That list is etched in my memory here.
Want me to read it for you?
First, the minister of justice—
Stop!
Anything but that, please...
Th-Then...
I confess... I confess.
I... I...
Full Story
Now, hand over that list...
I killed Miss Mia.
Wright.
The defense rests its case, Your Honor!
I shall hereby hand down the verdicts for Ms. Maya Fey and Mr. Phoenix Wright.
Not guilty!
Not Guilty
A spirited defense, Mr. Wright.
Oh, I just got lucky.
If you only knew how "spirited" it was.
By the way... Ms. Maya Fey?
Why do I get the feeling you have a totally different aura about you?
Just your imagination, Your Honor.
I-Is that so?
My time here is running out.
Maya's powers are still weak,
so I can't stay too long.
No! There's still so much to say!
Wright?
Can you come to the office tonight? Say, 9:00?
Thank you so much for fighting to save Maya.
Mia...
Oh, Mr. Lawyer? I...
It's all right. We won.
Really? I'm so glad...
Thank you, Maya.
You came.
Mia?
I was a little worried you might not.
Why wouldn't I?
Well, I'm pretty hungry.
How about we get some burgers?
M-Maya?!
You should see your face!
Why are you here?
Before she disappeared earlier, I heard my sister's voice.
She told me to come here tonight, at 9 PM.
Oh...
And one more thing.
What?
She asked me to take care of you!
Take care of... huh?
She meant the office! This office!
Maya Fey, reporting for duty.
The office?
Wright & Co. Law Offices, huh?
It's got a good ring to it.
Oh, and let's keep this casual, okay?
Pleased to work with you,
Nick!
"N-Nick"?
Come on, shake on it.
Good luck, Wright.
Let's get going, then!
Where?
Isn't it obvious? To get burgers!
There's a great joint just down the street!
We're celebrating our victory tonight.
Everything's on you, Nick.
Wait, what? Why?
Maya!
Burgers! Burgers!
I'll always be watching over you.
Ace Attorney
Objection!
A new case begins!
The Steel Samurai is a wildly popular TV hero, whom even Maya loves.
That hero of justice gets arrested for murder!
The hero's the murderer, and the villain the victim?
But the actor who plays the Steel Samurai claims he's innocent.
Maya and I run through the film studio looking for evidence!
Find the contradictions!
Reach out to the truth!
