Title: The Stolen Turnabout — Last Trial

J: The prosecution may begin its questioning.

God: I never drink more than cups of coffee during any given trial.

God: But the first one is always the best.

J: H-Huh?

PW: He's planning to end this in the very first go?

God: I looked into why you were fired from that company a year ago.

God: For your wife, huh?

Mar: Me?

Ama: That's not...

God: In order to provide more spending money to your wife,

God: you stole confidential data from the company.

God: The CEO found out, and you were fired.

God: You didn't want your wife to find out,

God: so you made it seem like you quit on your own.

God: That brings a tear to my eye.

God: The CEO used that to blackmail you.

God: And that is how this m*rder came about.

If_you_don_t_wan,Sign: If you don't want your secret identity revealed,bring me $,.I'll waiting in the CEO's office of KB Security at AM, September th.If you don't have the money, sell offthat red diamond you stole recently.

Mar: No... Ronnie...

God: That establishes your motive.

PW: This is bad.

God: Moving on, what happened there at AM that night?

God: Tell the court.

Ama: I followed the blackmail letter's orders and entered the CEO's office.

Ama: And when I did, there was a suspicious shadow there...

Ama: Suddenly, I was hit on the forehead.

Ama: When I came to, the CEO was lying dead!

Ama: If I hadn't been wearing that, I might've died, too.

PW: What do you mean by "that"?

Ama: Why, my mask, of course.

PW: M-Mask?

Ama: I was wearing my Mask DeMasque costume that night.

Ama: Oh, I guess I forgot to mention it until now.

PW: Sounds like it.

God: Even I didn't know that.

Ama: I was being blackmailed over the Mask DeMasque issue,

Ama: so I thought I should go as him.

J: Huh?

PW: This is going too slow. I have to pick up the pace.

Sign: Courtroom

WP: What do you say, Mr. Atmey?

Luke: I have to say you performed splendidly, Sir Payne.

Luke: Looks like the time of resolution is almost upon us.

God: As you heard, this kid's testimony is all over the place.

God: Someone hit him? Who would believe that?

PW: Hold it!

PW: Look at the logs for the emergency buzzer connecting the CEO's office to security.

PW: According to these logs, the buzzer was pushed once, at around AM.

PW: If Ron was the m*rder*r,he would've ran as soon as it sounded.

God: Say what?

PW: A security guard would've been heading his way.

PW: But Ron has admitted that he hid the body in the safe.

PW: If he was the m*rder*r, there's no way he would've done that!

Sign: Objection!

God: Objection!

God: But as it turns out, the guard never came.

PW: That... was nothing more than a coincidence.

LB: Teehee!

J: Maybe he didn't notice the buzzer going off?

PW: That's out of the question.

PW: This buzzer is so loud,it's impossible not to hear it.

PW: Unless you were unconscious when it sounded, of course.

J: What do you mean by that?

PW: Remember what the defendant said earlier.

PW: Someone attacked him, and he found the victim dead when he came to.

God: What about it?

PW: In other words, Ron was out coldwhen the buzzer sounded!

J: What? He was knocked out?

PW: By the time it went off,Bullard had already been m*rder*d.

PW: And Ron had been knocked out by the hit.

PW: In this situation, if the real k*ller made his escape, what would happen?

Ama: A-Anyone would think that I was the m*rder*r!

PW: Precisely! The emergency buzzer was sounded by the real m*rder*r!

PW: All to frame Ron DeLite of the m*rder!

J: And who exactly was this real k*ller?

PW: Luke Atmey.

God: That phantom thief is currently on trial in the next courtroom over.

PW: He's no phantom thief.

PW: Two crimes happened at the exact same time.

PW: Theft and m*rder... Which is the less serious crime?

J: They're not even close. Theft, of course.

PW: If he were to be found guilty of theft,

PW: he wouldn't be accused of m*rder.

PW: That's how he's trying to get away with his real crime!

God: No way.

PW: The defense requests that Luke Atmeybe brought to the stand!

PW: At once, before he's declared guilty!

J: Now then, this court is back in session.

May: You finally dragged him out here.

PW: This is where things get real.

PW: AM, September th.

PW: That was the time Kane Bullard was m*rder*d.

PW: Tell the court again what you were doing.

Luke: No matter how many times you ask, my answer will remain the same.

Luke: I was stealing the urn as I, Mask DeMasque, had promised.

Luke: The time stamp on this photo taken by the security camera is my witness.

PW: At the time, you were in KB Security's CEO office.

PW: This photo can't have been taken on that night!

Luke: What?

J: Please elaborate.

PW: This photo was taken at AM a few days before the incidents.

God: A few days before?

PW: And on the night in question, you made sure to k*ll Bullard at the same time.

PW: You took the photo to give yourself an alibi!

Luke: Argh!

PW: The photo only mentions the time, not the date.

PW: You made full use of that!

Sign: Objection!

God: Objection!

God: It's not good to jump to conclusions.

God: Where is the proof?

PW: There's a huge contradiction in this photo.

PW: Something that should've been there is nowhere to be seen!

PW: I mean Ami Fey's golden statue.

PW: The supervisor of the treasure exhibit stated the following.

AA: After that, I realized how ugly the paint stains looked,

AA: so I hid them behind Mystic Ami's statue.

PW: That night, the statue was directly in the view of the security camera.

PW: The one who moved it is none other than you, Detective Atmey.

God: But for what purpose?

PW: Remember.

PW: When was the statue delivered to the warehouse?

God: The day before the incidents...

God: You don't mean!

PW: That's right.

PW: Detective Atmey took this photo a few days before.

PW: The statue wasn't there then.

PW: He must've been quite nervous.

PW: Something that wasn't supposed to be there was somewhere it wasn't supposed to be.

PW: So you had to move the statue,

PW: to make the room match with the way it had been in his photo.

PW: The Lordly Tailor provided the security cameras.

PW: You couldn't tamper with the photos.

PW: But you took advantage of the fact that they didn't show the date!

PW: What do you say,

PW: Detective Atmey?!

Luke: Gwaah!

God: This is my th cup.

God: I'm still good until the very last drop of the th.

God: Are you saying this detective set it all up?

PW: Yes.

God: That won't fly, amigo.

PW: What?

God: "Luke Atmey was in KB Security's CEO office on the night of the m*rder."

God: Unless you can prove that,

God: you're just a kid running his mouth.

May: Can you even prove that, Nick?

PW: I can...

PW: not prove it.

God: That's that.

God: Then this phantom thief will be heading back to his own trial.

God: It's time for the verdict.

PW: No!

Luke: I am the Ace Detective as well as Mask DeMasque!

Luke: My verdict will verify that.

Luke: The truth has one again been elegantly revealed to me.

Luke: Ron DeLite is the true k*ller!

Luke: Well, I must admit that he's the biggest phantom thief fan.

Luke: After all, he wore Mask DeMasque's costume to meet his blackmailer.

Luke: As Mask DeMasque, I'm truly honored.

PW: Damn it! Ron's going to be finished!

May: Don't give up now! We can look for more evidence and...

PW: By then, it'll be too late.

May: Why?

God: Ever heard of double jeopardy?

PW: "Should a defendant be tried and found innocent in court,

PW: that defendant cannot be triad again for the same crime."

God: Luke Atmey will be found guiltyas Mask DeMasque.

PW: That'll be the alibi that proves his innocence in the m*rder case.

J: He will never stand trial for it again.

Luke: Of course not.

May: No way!

PW: Am I... Am I going to let him get away?!

Mia: Phoenix...

Mia: Raise your head up high.

Mia: Phoenix...

Mia: Raise your head up high.

PW: That voice... No way!

Mia: Have you forgotten what I used to tell you?

Mia: A lawyer is someone who smiles, no matter how bad it gets.

PW: M-Mia?

Mia: Save the chat for later. Let's finish this.

PW: But his cross-examination is over.

Mia: No, it's not over.

Mia: That detective said too much.

PW: He did?

Mia: Just now, he made a fatal mistake.

Mia: Recall what he last said.

Luke: I must take your leave, ladies and gentlemen. My verdict awaits me.

PW: Objection!

Sign: Objection!

Luke: Awoo?

PW: You're not getting away, Detective Atmey!

PW: You just admitted that you were at the scene of the m*rder that night!

Luke: What?

PW: Remember what you said earlier.

Luke: After all, he wore Mask DeMasque's costume to meet his blackmailer.

Luke: What about it?

PW: How did you know about that?

Luke: What do you mean?

PW: The fact that Ron was dressed as Mask DeMasque that night

PW: was only revealed today for the first time in this very courtroom.

Ama: Oh, I guess I forgot to mention it until now.

PW: You were standing trial in the other courtroom.

PW: You couldn't have known about it!

God: But he did know.

PW: There's only one way you could've known.

PW: That night, Ron saw a suspicious shadow.

PW: Turn that on its head, and it means that the shadow saw Ron, too.

PW: Detective Atmey, you saw Mask DeMasque with your own eyes.

PW: In other words, you were at the scene of the m*rder when it happened!

PW: Luke Atmey, you k*lled Kane Bullard.

PW: Isn't that right?

Luke: Bravo!

Luke: That glint in your eyes, and your spiky hair...

Luke: Sir Lawyer, you deserve the highest of praise!

God: You'll tell us everything before you leave, Ace Detective.

Luke: Very well.

Luke: It all started on the night of Mask DeMasque's very first heist.

Luke: As he made his getaway, he entered an empty back alley nearby.

Luke: Empty, save for the Ace Detective hiding there!

Luke: And so, I unmasked Mask DeMasque.

Luke: That very moment, a most wonderful idea flashed through my superior brain.

Luke: I could blackmail the phantom thief into following my best-laid plans!

Luke: Meanwhile, I'd shine the spotlight on the duels between him and the Ace Detective.

Luke: Indeed! I could do whatever I pleased!

Luke: I could make Mask DeMasque and society dance in the palm of my hand!

Luke: How entertaining would that be?

Luke: And in the end, I would capture him myself.

Luke: When I did, my name would resound around the world!

Luke: What a truly beautiful scenario!

PW: You'd thought that far ahead?

Luke: However, I ran into an unexpected speed bump.

God: Kane Bullard saw through you?

G: Hold it!

Luke: I pulled a fast one on KB Security and obtained this blood-red diamond.

Luke: He caught wind of the fact that it was in my hands.

Luke: And so, this Ace Detective now wound up being blackmailed by Bullard.

PW: Bullard blackmailed you?

Luke: I couldn't let someone who knew about me live.

Luke: I decided to use my latest clients for this purpose.

God: The Kurain Village treasure exhibit?

Luke: Precisely!

Luke: I could silence the wretched blackmailer forever

Luke: and frame the boy who was playing phantom thief of the crime!

Luke: In the basement warehouse of Lordly Tailor,

Luke: the curtain was raised on my most elegant plan!

PW: You sent a calling card to Lordly Tailor,

PW: took this photo wearing Mask DeMasque's costume to prepare an alibi,

PW: and used Bullard's blackmail letter

PW: to call Ron to KB Security's CEO office.

God: Following that, you tried to get yourself declared guilty of theft.

PW: How selfish can you be?

Luke: The Ace Detective was also the phantom thief!

Luke: The twist would sent society into a frenzy!

Luke: That was the finale to my grand plan!

Luke: A genius plan for a genius,by the most genius of geniuses!

God: You're done.

God: You shot up the wildest of fireworks and went out in a blaze of glory.

God: All that remains is the darkness.

God: Drink it all up, and it leaves nothing behind.

God: Nothing but the hollow whining of a poor loser.

J: It seems we have reached the bottom of this awfully complicated case.

J: We came perilously close to besmirching this young man with the title of m*rder*r.

J: I shall now hand down the verdict.

Sign: Not Guilty

J: Not Guilty!

Mar: Yay!

Pearl: Yay!

Mia: Well done, Phoenix.

PW: Thank you, Mia!

Mia: Watch over Maya, will you?

Maya: Nick?

PW: Thank you, Maya.

Ama: Um, Mr. Wright, thank you so much.

Ama: But I feel like nothing really matters anymore.

Maya: Come on. Just be happy already.

Maya: You were cleared of m*rder and got off as Mask DeMasque as a bonus.

PW: Bonus?

Ama: But in exchange, I lost everything.

Ama: All I wanted was for Dessie to be happy,

Ama: but this was the only way I could make enough money for her.

PW: You mean being a phantom thief?

Ama: She's always said how she hates sneaky criminals.

Ama: So it's all over now!

Maya: Oh, I'm sure she will forgive you...

Ama: A broken bowl can never be put back together!

Mar: You did it, Ronnie! Congrats!

Ama: Dessie?

Ama: Um, thanks. But I...

Mar: Why didn't you talk to me about what was going on?

Mar: I never imagined that you really were Mask DeMasque.

Ama: But don't you hate criminals?

Mar: Huh? Oh, I only hate people who act all cowardly and sneaky.

Mar: Like that detective.

May: Th-Then...

Mar: You went and declared your crimes before you committed them, like a man.

Mar: I just love a man with a sense of sportsmanship.

PW: Sportsmanship?

Ama: Dessie!

Mar: Sure.

Mar: Hey, Nicky boy.

PW: Yes?

Mar: I'm really glad I asked youto defend my Ronnie.

Mar: Thank you so much.

PW: Oh, um... sure...

Maya: What's this? Are you blushing, Nick?

Pearl: Nick! Mystic Maya!

Pearl: Congratulations!

PW: It's not what you think.

Pearl: With another man's wife... in front of Mystic Maya...

Pearl: I'll never forgive you!

PW: As my consciousness faded away, the case was closed.

PW: He said a broken bowl can never be put back together,

PW: but I know that's not true.

Kyoko,Sign: AMI

PW: I mean, here's a broken urn that was put back together even better than before.

God: Trite, this party has only just begun.
