Sign:To the m*rder*r: You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you? I have conclusive evidence here with me. Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house, tonight, at PM.

PW:Acro, the wheelchair-bound acrobat.

PW:After an accident six months ago, his brother, Bat,

PW:has yet to regain consciousness.

PW:What was the k*ller's true motive?

PW:The courtroom illusion that will reveal everything

PW:begins now!

Title:Turnabout Big Top — Last Trial

- margin,F:He could not descend the stairs,

- margin,F:let alone leave the lodging house.

- margin,F:He could not have committed this m*rder.

J:Yes, indeed.

A:I'm no magician.

A:Will you say I had an accomplice?

PW:No.

PW:You committed this m*rder all by yourself—

F:Of all the foolish foolishness!

F:In that case, can you prove it?

F:Tell us precisely how the witness performed this k*lling?

PW:Yes, of course.

A:Looks like you're serious about this, Mr. Lawyer.

PW:Everyone here will now learn exactly how you did it.

PW:But they won't be hearing it from me.

J:What?

PW:That night, the ringmaster headed to the plaza

PW:after being summoned by a note.

PW:A large, wooden box waited for him there.

PW:What he wanted was the item inside the box.

PW:But the box was locked, and he couldn't open it.

PW:With no choice, the ringmaster tried to take the box itself with him.

PW:In order to lift the heavy box,

PW:he had to squat, like so.

PW:At that moment...

PW:A deadly weapon came crashing down toward his head.

SignB:,Hardtack

F:Huh?

J:Whoa!

F:Max Galactica?

PW:Exactly.

PW:What fell on the ringmaster's head was

PW:the defendant's prize, won at the Magician's Grand Prix,

PW:a life-sized bust of himself!

PW:And this is where the miraculous magic trick begins!

PW:Take a slow-motion look at the moment of miracle!

M:Whoa! It's Max!

M:Maximillion Flightica!

PW:This is the whole truth behind what happened at the plaza that night.

PW:And the only one who could've done this

PW:was the man in the room directly above the crime scene,

PW:Acro!

J:What in the world?

F:Hold it a second, Mr. Phoenix Wright!

F:Are you seriously suggesting that happened?

SignB:,Hardtack

F:How could he operate a wheelchair while carrying a heavy bust?

PW:He had no need to.

PW:All Acro had to do was to drop it from the window.

F:B-But...

F:How could he drop it so accurately on the victim's head?

F:There is no way—

PW:That's where the wooden box came in.

PW:If he dropped the bust at the moment the victim tried to lift the box,

PW:he couldn't have missed!

F:And how did he transport the box to the scene?

PW:Simple.

PW:He tied it to a rope and lowered it from the window.

F:Then what about the bust?

F:He cannot climb a flight of stairs unassisted.

F:How did he take it to his room?

PW:It was probably...

F:A... A monkey?

PW:Yes.

PW:This is Money the Monkey, and he lives in Acro's room.

PW:He loves shiny things, and he's in the habit of taking them home.

PW:Maybe Acro devised this plan after

PW:seeing the bust Money happened to bring in.

PW:All of this proves that

PW:Acro could have committed this m*rder!

F:Ridiculous!

J:Order!

J:The defense's claims are truly extraordinary.

J:However, they do make sense.

F:Do not be fooled!

F:Have you forgotten the clown's testimony?

F:He saw the defendant fly away from the crime scene.

PW:Everything was as you just saw.

PW:What Moe witnessed was...

M:Max's bust, with his cape stuck to it!

Moe:If you think this is all we've got, you're living in de Nile.

M:De Nile!

Moe:Gorgeous!

Trilo:Gorgeous!

Moe:I can fly, I can fly, I can fly...

F:Curse you, Mr. Phoenix Wright...

F:How could you, of all people, see through the magic trick?

PW:I wasn't the one who saw through it.

PW:I had help from an expert in the field.

Max:Recreate the magic trick?

Max:Are you kidding me?

PW:No. Please.

Max:There's no way they'd cooperate.

PW:Max,

PW:I believe everyone in Berry Big Circus must get through this together.

Max:Everyone in the circus...

PW:Max took the clues found so far and unraveled the magic.

PW:In other words, the trick behind this case.

PW:And with the circus people's help,

:We're back

PW:we recreated it in this courtroom.

F:Why?

F:Didn't you two testify against the defendant?

PW:Yes, they all initially suspected Max.

Circus,Sign:Berry Big Circus

Moe:Us? Help Max?

Trilo:Why would we?

PW:These are the documents from his salary negotiation with the ringmaster.

PW:He asked for the raise to be distributed evenly among everyone.

Moe:What?

PW:He must have thought a raise would give you all some motivation.

PW:I believe it's proof that, in his own way, he cares about this circus.

PW:The desire to learn the truth

PW:brought them all together!

Max:Gorgeous.

PW:What do you say, Acro?

A:That's Max for you.

A:That was a very amusing circus you put on.

A:But that's all it was.

F:You're too naïve, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

F:You have yet to prove one very important thing.

A:Why would I want to take the ringmaster's life?

PW:That's...

F:Exactly. The motive.

F:The victim was like a father to this witness.

F:He was greatly indebted to him.

F:Why would he ever k*ll him?

J:Do you have anything to say, defense?

F:Do you not know how to see things through, Mr. Phoenix Wright?

PW:Do I really have to tell the court about it?

Moe:Bro, don't worry about it.

Moe:Show her.

Moe:Show her the truth behind this incident.

M:Nick...

PW:Acro,

PW:do you recognize this note?

PW:It was found in the ringmaster's room.

A:The ringmaster's?

PW:"To the m*rder*r:

PW:You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you?

PW:I have conclusive evidence here with me.

PW:Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house, tonight, at PM."

F:Wh-What is this?

PW:Apparently, the morning of the m*rder,

PW:this was posted on the bulletin board at the circus cafeteria.

PW:The victim went to the scene, as specified by this note...

F:And was m*rder*d?

PaperCopy:,To the m*rder*r: You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you? I have conclusive evidence here with me. Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house, tonight, at PM.

PW:The incident six months ago that the note mentions

PW:is the final key to unlocking this mystery.

:Order!

Reg:That was fun, Moe.

Reg:But what does he mean about the incident from six months ago?

Moe:Regina, listen carefully to what he says.

Moe:It's very important.

Reg:O-Okay.

J:Defense, what happened at the Berry Big Circus six months ago?

PW:Acro's little brother, Bat, a.k.a. Sean Dingling,

PW:was attacked by the circus lion in a horrifying incident.

J:B-By a lion?

PW:Bat survived, but he remains in a coma.

F:The prosecution is fully aware of the incident.

F:An unfortunate accident, yes?

PW:That wasn't just an accident.

F:Wh-What?

PW:This is the scarf presented to Bat by Regina the animal tamer.

PW:Apparently, he'd worn it around his neck that day.

PW:He opened the lion's mouth and tried to perform one of her tricks.

PW:That's when a terrible tragedy occurred.

F:That lion had been thoroughly trained,

F:and its attack on a person was unthinkable.

F:Then why did it...

PW:I hear the lion smiled just before it bit down.

:Eh?

J:S-Smiled? Do lions smile?

F:I have never heard of it!

PW:Upon testing the scarf Bat wore that day,

PW:we found traces of something on it.

J:And that was?

PW:Pepper.

F:Pepper?

F:Don't tell me...

PW:The lion didn't smile.

PW:Isn't that right, Acro?

PW:Yes. At that moment, the lion simply sneezed,

PW:due to the pepper all over the scarf.

J:Pepper?

J:Like the pepper in the wooden box?

PW:Precisely.

PW:The "conclusive evidence" the note mentioned was the pepper.

J:Oh, dear.

PW:These are the results of the tests performed on the scarf.

J:The court accepts them as evidence.

F:"Sneezed due to the pepper"?

F:What kind of foolish joke is this, Mr. Phoenix Wright?!

PW:Unfortunately, it's the truth.

PW:And once Acro learned this,

PW:he plotted revenge...

PW:Against the person who'd given the scarf to his brother.

Reg:M-Me?

J:So the real target was...

PW:Yes.

PW:Not the ringmaster, but his daughter.

PW:Regina the animal tamer!

PW:When she brought your breakfast, you slipped the note into her pocket.

PW:However, she had no idea what it meant,

PW:so she put it up on the cafeteria board.

Sign:To the m*rder*r: You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you? I have conclusive evidence here with me. Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house, tonight, at PM.

F:And Ringmaster Berry found it?

PW:He probably knew the truth of the incident.

PW:And so, in order to protect his daughter,

PW:he went to the scene himself.

Reg:P-Papa went in my place?

PW:Acro can't leave his wheelchair.

PW:That's why he didn't realize the person below his window wasn't Regina.

PW:He proceeded as planned and k*lled them.

F:Wh-What in a foolish fool's name?

PW:Acro, you thought you were taking revenge on Regina.

PW:But you ended up k*lling Ringmaster Berry, the one to whom you owed your life!

J:What do you say, witness?

A:Do you have proof?

PW:Acro?

A:Do you have proof I dropped the bust on him that night?

F:Yesterday, the police thoroughly searched the Berry Big Circus.

F:But they did not find a bust of Max Galactica in this witness's room.

PW:Wh-What?

J:In that case, where is the bust?

F:We listed everything we found at the circus!

F:But there was no bust anywhere!

PW:Anywhere?

A:Then, you don't have proof linking me to your m*rder weapon?

A:I'm sorry, Mr. Lawyer,

A:but I can't be arrested.

Moe:Don't fight it anymore, Acro!

Moe:Tell the truth!

Moe:Acro...

J:Order!

J:I have to disallow the defense's claims due to lack of evidence.

J:Prosecutor von Karma...

F:Then, the cross-examination of this witness is hereby complete.

PW:Damn it. Is this it?

Objection,Sign:Objection!

M:Objection!

M:Don't give up, Nick!

M:Remember the message Gumshoe gave you!

PW:Detective Gumshoe?

DG:Also, I have a message for you.

DG:"The verdict will surely be decided at the last second."

PW:The last second?

PW:That would be now!

M:Don't acrobats live their lives on the edge?

M:And that's how Acro has lived his life up till now.

M:But you have crossed ropes just as tight, Nick!

PW:Maya?

M:Now, let's walk across the tightest rope we've crossed!

PW:Got it, Maya.

PW:Your Honor!

PW:The defense will show you exactly where the m*rder weapon is!

J:Huh?

A:Impossible... There's no way.

F:The foolish ramblings of a foolish fool.

F:Then answer right this very instant!

F:Where is the bust?!

PW:"The verdict will be decided at the last second."

PW:In other words, the bust's location will become clear now, at this very moment.

PW:On the investigation's first day, it was in Acro's room.

PW:But by the second day, it was gone.

PW:That's right.

PW:There was a thorough search yesterday.

PW:Acro was forced to hide it

PW:before the police searched his room!

PW:So that's how it is.

PW:I have a request, Acro.

A:What is it?

PW:Please lift the blanket on your wheelchair.

A:What is the meaning of this?

PW:Yesterday, the police couldn't find the bust anywhere.

PW:That would imply it was taken from the circus.

F:Ridiculous!

F:All we did was search.

F:We removed nothing!

PW:You're mistaken.

PW:Something was taken from the circus.

PW:And that was you, Acro.

PW:Back then, you'd already hidden the bust where it wouldn't be found.

F:I-Impossible!

PW:Meaning that you should still be hiding it.

PW:Right here, at this very moment!

PW:Beneath the blanket on your wheelchair!

A:Brilliantly done.

J:What?

F:How could this be?

M:No way.

A:No room for excuses when the m*rder weapon is found on you in court, huh?

A:Your Honor, I am the one who k*lled the ringmaster.

A:Everything is as Mr. Wright said.

A:Thinking back,

A:my fate was sealed the moment that search was carried out.

A:You got me.

A:Prosecutor, had you already seen through everything yesterday?

F:Huh? I... I...

DG:Yes, pal!

F:That Scruffy McTrenchcoat!

A:As Mr. Wright said,

A:I tried to exact revenge on Regina for taking my brother from me.

A:One day, he sprinkled some pepper on her.

A:Her sneezing fit made everyone burst into laughter.

A:It was a harmless prank.

A:He loved her.

A:And she didn't want anything bad to happen.

A:She just wanted to make my brother sneeze, too.

A:I knew that.

A:But she didn't realize what she'd done...

Reg:Hey, if Bat also becomes a star,

Reg:will he smile down on us from in the sky?

A:I couldn't stand her innocent laughter, no matter how hard I tried!

A:That's why I...

M:Acro...

A:I didn't want to be caught.

A:I thought I couldn't just up and leave.

A:But this is for the best.

PW:In a way, you were also a victim.

A:No.

A:I am

A:only a m*rder*r.

J:Bailiff, apprehend this man and take him in.

Circus,Sign:Wait!

Reg:Wait!

A:Regina?

ReG:I haven't apologized to Acro yet!

M:Regina...

A:Regina...

Reg:I'm sorry, Acro.

Reg:Bat, Papa, and Leon all went away because of me.

Reg:Not Acro!

Reg:It's all... It's all my fault.

Reg:If you must arrest someone, arrest me!

Reg:Please!

A:You're wrong.

A:I'm the one who committed m*rder.

Reg:Acro...

Moe:Regina, do you understand why Acro tried to get away with m*rder?

Moe:He absolutely couldn't disappear!

Reg:Bat?

Moe:That's right!

Moe:Bat is still in a coma!

Moe:Acro wanted to be by his side when he wakes up someday!

Moe:That's why he committed another grave sin.

Moe:That's how important people's lives are!

Reg:From now on, I'll always be at his side.

Reg:Until you come back, until Bat wakes up,

Reg:I'll stay by his side the whole time!

J:I shall hereby hand down the verdict.

J:I find the defendant, Max Galactica,
