Post by bunniefuu »

PW:Even with Maya's life hanging in the balance,

PW:I couldn't win a "not guilty" verdict in the trial.

PW:It ended abruptly when Adrian Andrews, the manager, refused to testify.

PW:And as I investigated further,

PW:I came to realize the worst possible truth.

PW:The one who hired De k*ller to k*ll the victim

PW:was my client, Matt Engarde!

- margin,PW:When we first met, you said,

Title:Farewell, My Turnabout — rd Trial

- margin,PW:"I haven't k*lled anyone."

- margin,En:I never lied to you.

En:The person who committed m*rder was that De k*ller guy, not me...

PW:Why did you hide this camera in that room?

En:It's my insurance.

PW:Insurance?

En:I don't trust anyone, least of all assassins.

En:If he tries to blackmail me in the future,

En:he'll get a taste of his own medicine!

En:I have his face and the moment of the crime on tape, preserved for all time.

PW:You monster.

En:Anyway, all you need to do is get me acquitted.

PW:You're a m*rder*r!

En:I dare you to say that in court tomorrow.

En:If I were to be proven guilty,

En:you know what will happen, right?

PW:Maya...

M:I wanna eat a steak.

PW:What am I supposed to do?

ME:Beats me.

ME:This may sound cruel,

ME:but only you can decide where to go from here.

ME:During that case one year ago,

ME:I lost sight of what a prosecutor is.

ME:And that is why I left the Prosecutors' Office.

SignA,Sign:Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth Chooses Death

ME:I wished to throw away every last bit of "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth"

ME:and reconsider things long and hard.

ME:Reconsider why I stood in court.

ME:When I found the answer to that, a new journey would begin.

ME:And now, Wright... It is your turn.

PW:My turn?

ME:What is a defense attorney? What should you do as one?

ME:You must find the answer, and you must find it on your own.

PW:I can't let a m*rder*r walk away scot-free!

PW:But if there were a life I wanted to save, even if I had to ignore the truth,

PW:I would do anything. But...

PW:But...

ME:However, you cannot change the truth.

PW:I want to be there for people who have nobody on their side.

PW:To save people who are suffering.

PW:That's why I became an attorney.

PW:But when I look at this mess,

PW:I can't even save someone important to me!

ME:Don't be full of yourself!

ME:We are not superheroes.

ME:We are only human, you and I.

ME:"Save someone"?

ME:That is no easy task.

PW:Then, why do you stand in court?

PW:What is the answer you found?!

ME:The truth.

ME:I shall fight for the truth with everything I am.

ME:That is all.

PW:The truth...

ME:This case has a dark side yet to be seen.

ME:Don't give up until the very end.

PW:Edgeworth...

PW:You've gotten stronger.

ME:You were the one who taught me how.

DK:Are you ready for tomorrow?

PW:Engarde just spilled the beans...

PW:That he was your client!

DK:Oh, is that so?

PW:Why did you drag Maya into this?

DK:I ensure that no suspicion falls upon my client.

DK:It's how I maintain trust and my moral code as an assassin.

PW:Don't be ridiculous!

PW:"Moral code," my foot!

DK:Rest assured.

DK:I swear upon my moral code,

DK:once you win that acquittal, I'll return your item.

PW:Did you hear that?

ME:A cat?

PW:I've figured out where he is!

PW:Did you find Maya?!

ME:Unfortunately, it seems we were a bit too late.

PW:It was that butler.

PW:He was De k*ller!

P:Shoe, do you know where Mystic Maya is?

DG:Prosecutor Edgeworth!

ME:Looks like the camera Engarde installed in that room

ME:transmitted the footage here.

PW:Then, if we investigate this...

ME:Confiscate everything at once!

DG:Well, the deck is empty.

PW:He must have taken the tape!

G:There's another room.

ME:Celeste Andrews?

PW:Andrews?

ME:Adrian Andrews's older sister.

ME:She passed away.

ME:Apparently, she used to be Engarde's manager.

PW:Her sister was a manager, too?

P:The back!

P:Look at the back!

SignA,Sign:With love, Celeste

PW:This is Maya's handwriting.

ME:So she really was held c*ptive here.

Sign:Nick. So you did come for me. I believed you would. If you get that slimebag an acquittal, I'll never forgive you. Well, tell Pearls I said hi. Goodbye.

M:Nick.

M:So you did come for me.

M:I believed you would.

M:If you get that slimebag an acquittal, I'll never forgive you.

M:Well, tell Pearls I said hi.

M:Goodbye.

P:Goodbye?

P:Don't say that, Mystic Maya!

PW:Today, will I prove a m*rder*r not guilty?

PW:As an attorney...

PW:Detective Gumshoe?

DG:Hey, pal.

PW:Uh, did you find Maya?

DG:We still don't have any clues.

DG:But you can't give up, pal.

PW:I understand.

DG:I swear I'll find De k*ller before the trial ends, pal.

DG:And once we free the hostage, we can get Engarde declared guilty.

DG:Don't worry about a thing. Just fight with all you have, pal.

DG:If you get serious, Prosecutor Edgeworth will respond in kind.

DG:And I'm sure you and him can find the answer, pal!

DG:Believe in us, and hang in there till the very end, pal!

PW:Thank you very much.

P:The detective is a nice person, isn't he?

P:Yeah.

P:Let's go, Pearl.

P:Yes.

J:Court is now back in session for the trial of Mr. Matt Engarde.

PW:The defense is ready, Your Honor!

ME:The prosecution is ready, of course.

J:We concluded yesterday's session with a big mystery on our hands.

J:The witness Adrian Andrews refused to testify—

ME:About that.

ME:During yesterday's trial, Adrian Andrews had this card in hand.

PW:I do remember seeing that.

ME:She said she found it by the body.

J:What is that shell?

ME:It's a certain assassin's calling card.

J:A-Assassin, you say?

ME:Shelly De k*ller.

ME:After carrying out his hits, he always leaves this card.

J:Dear me...

ME:A professional assassin k*lled Juan Corrida.

ME:And the assassin's client

ME:was the defendant, Matt Engarde!

C:See? I knew it.

PW:Objection!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:There's no proof the defendant hired him!

PW:Besides, there's a chance Adrian Andrews was the client, too!

ME:Objection!

ME:You're wrong.

ME:This item was confiscated from Matt Engarde's residence.

PW:That teddy bear...

PW:I saw it at Engarde's place yesterday.

ME:On the night of the m*rder, this bear was taken from Juan Corrida's room.

PW:Wh-What?

ME:The victim's love of teddy bears was well known.

ME:This one, especially, he is said to have carried with him at all times.

J:Oh...

ME:And after the m*rder, it disappeared from the crime scene.

ME:The staff has attested to this.

PW:But who knows if that's the same one?

ME:The victim's fingerprints were found on this.

ME:There's no doubt about it.

ME:Why was the victim's teddy bear found at the defendant's residence?

ME:There can be only one answer.

ME:After murdering the victim, De k*ller stole the teddy bear

ME:and brought it to his client, Engarde!

PW:That's right.

PW:Edgeworth's claims are all correct.

PW:But I...

PW:Objection!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:I cannot afford to accept them!

PW:There's a chance Andrews asked De k*ller to steal that teddy bear, too!

ME:To what end?

PW:W-Well...

PW:To frame the defendant by planting it at his residence!

PW:First of all, why would my client want to get his hands on it?

PW:For what reason?

J:Hmm... The reason he would want to get his hands on it, huh?

C:What's going on in this trial?

C:That attorney's only talked about chance this whole time.

LB:Shove it!

LB:Shut up and listen!

LB:Don't give in, Nick.

PW:This is to save Maya.

PW:I don't care if the entire world turns against me.

J:What do you say, Prosecutor Edgeworth?

ME:The prosecution is prepared to take up the defense's challenge.

ME:What is this teddy bear's significance?

ME:I would like to call someone who can answer that question, Adrian Andrews,

ME:to the stand once more.

J:Very well.

J:The court will now take a ten-minute recess.

J:The prosecution is to use that time to prepare its witness.

ME:Understood.

M:Sis...

M:Sis... Sis!

LB:Edgeworth's so awful, man!

LB:He knows about Maya, so what the heck was that?

PW:Detective Gumshoe?

DG:How's it going?

PW:We're hanging in there somehow.

PW:What about you?

DG:No good, pal.

DG:If only we had a lead, any lead...

???:I could see a circus tent, Wright.

LB:Wha?

LB:What?!

PW:Mia!

Mia:Maya's being held on the third floor of an old office building.

PW:What do you mean, "a circus tent"?

Mia:I saw it out the window.

Mia:It was about a hundred meters away.

LB:Hey, mind telling me what's going on?

PW:There's only one circus in town now.

PW:It's gotta be the Berry Big Circus.

Mia:Hurry up. She's in danger.

PW:Detective Gumshoe, did you hear that?

DG:Loud and clear, pal.

DG:A hundred-meter radius from the Berry Big Circus's tent, right?

Mia:Also, I saw a mailbox under the window.

DG:Perfect.

DG:All units, step on it!

PW:Thank you, Mia.

Mia:It's too soon for that.

Mia:The battle is only beginning, Wright.

LB:You're ignoring me all the way?

J:Court is now back in session!

ME:Witness, you refused to testify yesterday.

ME:But you would do well to understand.

ME:Those who hide the truth will be betrayed by the truth.

AA:But didn't you people tell me not to testify?

ME:I am not like them.

ME:And neither is this defense attorney.

ME:Could you tell us everything?

AA:All right.

Mia:Looks like she's made up her mind.

ME:Then, let me ask you.

ME:Do you recognize this teddy bear?

AA:It's a souvenir my sister bought while we were on holiday in Switzerland.

PW:A souvenir?

AA:She gave it to Juan.

AA:They were seeing each other at the time.

PW:But we found a photo of Celeste in Engarde's room.

PW:What about that?

AA:She was originally Matt's manager, and they dated for a while.

J:What? She dated the defendant?

AA:She loved Matt.

AA:But it was one-sided. He was just playing around.

AA:The moment the media caught wind of their relationship,

AA:he dumped my sister without hesitation.

Sign:Popular Hot Actor In a Relationship? The partner is his beautiful manager?! A candlelit dinner at a posh restaurant!

AA:The story never saw the light of day, and the public never found out.

AA:My sister was fired from the agency.

ME:And she moved to Juan Corrida's agency?

AA:To me, it seemed like meeting Juan saved her.

AA:The two got engaged, and then held a press conference.

ME:However, that engagement was broken off.

AA:Yes.

AA:And that very night, she...

J:How sad.

ME:Why did Juan Corrida break it off?

AA:It was Matt.

AA:Right after the press conference, he told Juan about their relationship.

PW:Why would he do that?

AA:Matt deliberately waited for the announcement before revealing it.

AA:He targeted the moment when he could hurt Juan most.

ME:About Celeste's suicide,

ME:I hear they found no suicide note.

AA:No, there was a note.

Sign:Suicide Note

AA:Juan found and hid it.

ME:Did the victim tell you that?

AA:Yes.

AA:Apparently, my sister wrote about her hatred for Matt.

AA:And that she chose death after her happiness was taken from her twice.

J:Why did the victim hide that suicide note?

AA:Because it was a powerful weapon.

AA:Juan was planning to make the suicide note public

AA:when he could hurt Matt most.

ME:That would be the day of the m*rder.

ME:After the awards ceremony,

ME:he was going to make the suicide note public in the form of a confession.

J:How spiteful.

AA:I got close to Juan

AA:because I wanted to find the note.

AA:I didn't want to let him make it public.

AA:That's why, before reporting the m*rder,

AA:I searched the room for it, but to no avail.

AA:That's when I came up with the idea.

AA:I could get revenge on the two hateful men who had k*lled my sister!

PW:You put the knife in Corrida's corpse?

AA:If Matt's fingerprints were found, he'd be the prime suspect.

AA:That's what I thought.

ME:This is the sin the witness refused to testify about yesterday.

J:I don't know what to say.

ME:The only crime Adrian Andrews has committed is mutilation of a corpse.

ME:Nothing else.

J:But where did the suicide note go, then?

ME:Actually, this teddy bear has a secret.

ME:Isn't that right, witness?

AA:Right.

AA:It has an interesting mechanism. That's why she chose it as a souvenir.

Mia:A secret compartment?

J:Th-Then, that's...

PW:Celeste's suicide note?

ME:No wonder you failed to find it.

ME:De k*ller had already taken it with him.

ME:As you can see, it even has Celeste's signature on it.

ME:Matt Engarde had to get his hands on this suicide note, no matter what.

AA:That was why he had De k*ller steal it, huh?

Objection,Sign:Objection!

:Objection!

PW:That doesn't make sense!

ME:How so?

PW:The defendant couldn't have known the suicide note was in that bear!

ME:But in fact, he did.

J:Oh? What's that?

ME:A miniature camera set up in the victim's waiting room.

ME:Matt Engarde was spying on Juan Corrida's private life.

J:What?

C:Spying? That's crazy!

C:So it was him, after all.

ME:I present the suicide note and the camera as evidence to the court.

DG:Search the place!

G:Yes, sir!

J:It seems we have reached a conclusion.

J:Then I shall hereby hand down the verdi—

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Objection!

J:What is it, defense?

PW:There's one tiny problem with that suicide note.

J:Problem?

ME:What would that be?

PW:Did Celeste Andrews really write this?

Sign:Suicide Note

PW:The defense demands a handwriting analysis be performed on this note!

DG:This is...

J:Handwriting analysis on the suicide note?

J:But wouldn't she have been the only person to know the things written here?

PW:There's a chance her sister, Adrian, knew about them.

J:Y-You and your chances...

ME:Your Honor,

ME:the prosecution asks for thirty minutes.

ME:Leaving doubt about evidence goes against my policy.

ME:I would like to arrange a handwriting analysis.

Mia:He's playing along, huh?

LB:Edgeworth...

J:Very well.

J:The court will take a thirty-minute recess.

ME:A phone call? From whom?

B:He called himself your friend.

B:And said it was very urgent.

Mia:Seems we bought ourselves a little more time.

LB:Why hasn't that detective called yet?

PW:Detective Gumshoe!

LB:Did you manage to save Maya?

DG:They got away again...

DG:But she left behind an amazing piece of evidence, pal!

PW:An amazing piece of evidence?

DG:I'm heading there right now.

DG:Nobody can stop us, pal!

PW:Got it.

PW:We'll do our best, too!

DG:Yeah!

DG:Nobody can stop us—

PW:Detective Gumshoe?

PW:Detective Gumshoe!

Mia:A traffic accident?

Mia:And his phone broke, it seems.

PW:What the heck is he doing?

En:I'm counting on you, ace attorney!

ME:Forgive me for being late.

PW:What?

J:Well, report the findings of the handwriting analysis.

ME:The note was confirmed to be in Celeste Andrews's handwriting.

C:Of course.

J:So we surely have a conclusion this time—

ME:Please wait!

J:Wh-What is it?

ME:The prosecution would like

ME:to call a new witness to the stand.

PW:A new witness?

J:Oh? And who would that be?

ME:Who was Shelly De k*ller's client?

ME:This witness can lay that question to rest, once and for all.

PW:Impossible! Just who is it?!

ME:Shelly De k*ller...

ME:in the flesh.

J:I see. Shelly De k*ller himself?

PW:D-De k*ller is going to testify?

ME:He called earlier, saying he would take the stand himself.

ME:Let me introduce you.

ME:This is Shelly De k*ller.

All:What?!

J:Say what?

Show,Sign:Ace Attorney

PW:Objection!

PW:The final battle is upon us.

PW:Shelly De k*ller testifies in court!

PW:Will I get Engarde acquitted?

PW:Or should I have him declared guilty?

PW:And what about Maya's life?!

PW:Attorneys smile when times are desperate.

PW:As the time limit draws ever closer,

PW:I stake it all on one final turnabout!

PW:Edgeworth, Mia, Maya...

PW:This is my brand of justice!
