01x12 - Turnabout Goodbyes – Last Trial

Post by bunniefuu »

ME:For fifteen years,

ME:I have had a recurring dream.

ME:I'm in the dark, and it's hard to breathe...

ME:Eventually, I hear a g*nsh*t and a terrible scream.

ME:A blood-curdling scream that I still hear to this day.

ME:"It's only a nightmare."

ME:That is what I've always told myself.

ME:But if Yogi didn't actually k*ll my father,

:that nightmare points to a horrifying truth.

:I was the one who k*lled my father that day!

J:I would like to take a fifteen-minute recess.

J:During this time, I will consider the appropriate course of action.

Ep TitLe:Turnabout Goodbyes — Last Trial

ME:I'm sorry, Wright.

ME:I've just wasted all your efforts.

M:Um, Mr. Edgeworth?

M:Do you know why Nick became an attorney?

M:Apparently, it was to see you again and ask you what happened.

ME:Me?

Sign:DL- Case File

PW:The Miles Edgeworth I knew wanted to be a defense attorney, like his father.

PW:But you became a prosecutor. I wanted to know why.

ME:Wright...

ME:My father was my pride and joy.

ME:He was an attorney who wanted justice for both defendant and victim.

ME:But after he was k*lled,

ME:Hammond forced a shady acquittal,

ME:and the case went cold.

ME:That changed my mind. I started to hate criminals and defense attorneys.

ME:The one who reached out to me then was von Karma.

M:von Karma?

ME:He taught me that justice should be perfect, cold-hearted,

ME:and a merciless hammer to be used upon all!

M:No...

ME:I made up my mind

ME:to become a prosecutor and make as many criminals atone as I could.

ME:But perhaps

ME:I simply did so to escape the sin that I committed.

M:Mr. Edgeworth...

M:DL- Case File

M:Nick?

PW:It's all right.

PW:I'll definitely prove my client's innocence.

ME:But I've confessed my guilt!

ME:I've admitted that I was the one who k*lled my father, Gregory Edgeworth!

PW:I'm sorry, but I don't believe your "nightmare."

ME:Wh-What?

PW:I believe in your innocence.

PW:Even if you don't believe in it yourself, I'll prove it for you!

Sign:DL- Case File

M:Nick!

PW:What is this?

Sign:December , : PM District Court — Courtroom No.

J:Then, I would like to resume our trial.

VK:Miles Edgeworth has admitted his guilt.

VK:Deliver the verdict immediately and put him out of his misery.

PW:All the defendant did was describe a recurring dream.

PW:The defense has the right to cross-examine him!

J:The defense may begin its cross-examination.

Testimony,Sign:Cross-Examination

PW:Fifteen years ago, on the day of the DL- Incident,

PW:why were you in the courthouse?

ME:I was here to observe one of my father's trials.

PW:And what did that trial involve?

ME:All I remember is that he was up against von Karma.

VK:Indeed. And Gregory Edgeworth was defeated

VK:by my perfect prosecution.

PW:There was a massive blackout that day,

PW:and you three were locked in an elevator.

ME:Help didn't arrive for hours.

ME:Gradually, the air within the elevator began to thin,

ME:and Yogi panicked and attacked my father.

ME:Release my father!

ME:I don't remember clearly what happened after that.

ME:A shot rang out, and I heard a terrible scream.

ME:I lost consciousness,

ME:and when I came to, I was in a hospital bed.

VK:There's no room for doubt.

PW:Isn't there?

PW:This is a photograph of the crime scene.

PW:It clearly contradicts the defendant's testimony.

J:Contradicts?

PW:Please look at this.

PW:There's a b*llet hole in the door.

PW:The defendant said there was a single g*nsh*t,

PW:but this photo shows two holes. One in the body, and one in the door.

VK:The b*llet that k*lled the victim could have pierced his body and hit the door.

PW:I think not.

VK:What?

PW:Look at the data on the m*rder weapon.

PW:It says the p*stol was fired twice.

PW:The evidence really does contradict Edgeworth's testimony!

VK:But there's no proof that the second shot was fired at the time of the m*rder.

PW:The m*rder weapon was fired twice,

PW:and there were two b*llet holes at the crime scene.

PW:It's natural to assume these facts are related.

J:True.

PW:The defendant, a young boy at the time, lost consciousness after the first shot.

PW:The second shot was fired after that.

PW:In other words, someone else was at the scene.

PW:The actual m*rder*r!

J:The actual m*rder*r?

Objection,Sign:Objection!

VK:Objection!

VK:Unfortunately, there's something you seem to have overlooked.

PW:Say what?

VK:Look at the case file.

VK:Only one b*llet was found at the crime scene.

VK:The b*llet that claimed the victim's life was lodged in his body.

VK:No other b*ll*ts were found at the scene.

VK:That means the second shot was never fired.

VK:Ergo, your claims are unfounded.

PW:If the second g*nsh*t was never fired,

PW:all my conjectures are for nothing!

VK:It appears we have our conclusion.

J:Let me ask one last time.

J:Defendant, you threw the p*stol in an attempt to save your father.

J:But that caused an unexpected tragedy.

J:Is this correct?

PW:Wait, Edgeworth!

ME:Without doubt.

J:Very well.

J:That ends the cross-examination!

PW:There are so many things I know I should be saying,

PW:but I just can't find the words!

Mia:Don't give up.

Mia:You're on the right track.

Mia:There was indeed a second b*llet at the crime scene.

Mia:Laugh, Wright.

Mia:An attorney can only laugh when times are desperate!

J:I shall hereby hand down the verdict for Mr. Miles Edgeworth—

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Objection!

PW:A second shot really was fired at the scene that day!

VK:Enough!

PW:The second b*llet disappeared.

PW:There is but one possible reason why.

J:And what would that be?

PW:The m*rder*r took it from the scene!

VK:Objection.

VK:Why do something so pointless?

PW:Well...

PW:It's no use. I can't think of any reason to take it.

Mia:Turn your thinking about.

PW:Mia?

Mia:Don't ask why the m*rder*r took the b*llet.

Mia:Ask why he had to take the b*llet.

PW:I see...

PW:There is one reason why the m*rder*r had to take the b*llet!

VK:What?

PW:The other b*llet hit the m*rder*r!

J:Th-The b*llet hit the m*rder*r?

PW:If the m*rder*r was also shot at the time of the crime,

PW:he would've been forced to take the b*llet.

PW:That's why a second b*llet wasn't found at the scene!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

VK:Objection!

VK:There is no record of anyone else shot at the courthouse that day!

PW:There must be someone who left the courthouse injured that day.

MG:He even took the next day off.

PW:No way!

VK:So long as we have no suspect, we are finished here.

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Objection!

PW:There is a suspect... One lone suspect.

VK:Pay him no heed! Hurry up and—

PW:Mr. von Karma!

PW:Fifteen years ago, the m*rder*r who took a b*llet before k*lling the victim

PW:and vanishing from the scene...

PW:It was you!

J:What?!

M:von Karma k*lled Edgeworth's father?

VK:How dare you? Do you think you'll get away with such an outrageous claim?

PW:This is the truth.

PW:On that day fifteen years ago, you took on Gregory Edgeworth in court.

PW:But your victory wasn't a perfect one.

PW:You'd submitted falsified evidence.

VK:Nonsense!

VK:What does that have to do with the m*rder?

PW:You're a prosecutor who strives for perfection,

PW:and Gregory Edgeworth tainted your perfect record.

PW:That could have been your motive for m*rder!

VK:Judge, stop him from spouting any more baseless slander!

PW:I hear you took a day off?

VK:Wh-What?

PW:The day after Gregory Edgeworth was m*rder*d,

PW:you took the only day off in your forty-year career.

J:Wouldn't that be natural, if he was shocked by the m*rder?

PW:Perhaps.

PW:But maybe he was forced to take that day off.

PW:For instance, to extract the b*llet that hit him during the m*rder!

J:But it's impossible to recover from surgery to extract a b*llet in one day.

PW:If surgery is out of the question...

PW:Maya, let me borrow that.

J:Isn't that a metal detector?

PW:That's right.

PW:The defense requests permission to examine Mr. von Karma's body!

VK:Ridiculous. I refuse.

J:But if you're innocent, you should have no reason to refuse.

M:It found something!

PW:This makes it clear!

PW:The b*llet fired fifteen years ago still rests in Mr. von Karma's shoulder!

VK:Indeed, there is a b*llet in my shoulder.

VK:I will admit that much.

VK:But it has nothing to do with this incident.

PW:What do you mean?

VK:A few years ago, I accidentally shot myself while examining

VK:a p*stol to be used as evidence—

Objection,Sign:Objection!

:Objection!

PW:Lies!

PW:You took that b*llet during the m*rder fifteen years ago!

VK:Can you prove that?

PW:It's simple.

PW:We only need to compare the ballistic markings of the two b*ll*ts.

PW:The b*llet's gone?!

VK:What's the matter?

PW:He got rid of the data?

VK:It appears this is as far as your delusions go.

ME:Wright...

VK:Now, end this trial!

J:R-Right...

PW:What can I do?

M:Nick?

PW:Edgeworth?

M:Edgey?

DG:Mr. Edgeworth?

J:Call a medic!

Lobby,Sign:Lobby No.

PW:What? You pretended to collapse?

ME:That was the only way to stop the verdict.

PW:Dude, that's really risky...

LB:You always were a bit of a daredevil!

ME:I don't need that from you.

ME:Anyway, we have little time.

ME:Detective Gumshoe...

DG:Sir! I hear nothing!

ME:If the data is gone, there's only one thing we can do.

Sign:December , : PM Public Prosecutors' Office

M:So this is the Prosecutors' Office...

ME:Yes. Stay close.

PW:Sneak into von Karma's office?

ME:He always hides disadvantageous evidence in his office.

PW:Edgeworth, you...

ME:Listening to your defense finally made me realize that I...

ME:I want to believe in myself.

M:I'll go.

PW:Maya?

ME:All right. I'll accompany you partway.

M:Huh? You will?

ME:Only prosecutors can enter the offices.

ME:The doors use retinal identification.

M:R-Right...

LB:But, dude, you're the star of this trial!

LB:They'll definitely be mad if you're not around.

ME:I'll be back in ten minutes.

PW:Ten minutes?

PW:But the recess is only five.

M:Five minutes...

LB:We'll have to trick 'em somehow...

LB:What?

Door:Authorized.

M:Leave the rest to me and return to court.

ME:Sorry to make you do this for me.

M:It's fine.

M:I want to be of use, too!

M:Now, hurry.

M:I'm worried about Larry.

Sign:Defendant — Miles Edgeworth

LB:It's me, Miles Edgeworth.

J:Who are you?

LB:Who, me?

LB:Miles Edgeworth, of course.

VK:Bailiffs! Throw this impostor out at once!

LB:Hang on a sec! Look closer and you'll see!

J:No need to look. It's obvious.

PW:Should've known that wouldn't work.

VK:By the way, have you heard of "contempt of court"?

LB:Of course I have!

VK:If found guilty of it, you'll be ex*cuted.

LB:Hey, Nick!

LB:Am I gonna die, Nick?!

PW:Am I in Hell?

M:Like this, and...

M:Found it!

J:Defense, do you have an explanation for this?

PW:Your Honor, the defendant isn't feeling well.

VK:He ran, right?

VK:Seal all the courthouse exits!

ME:That won't be necessary!

PW:Edgeworth...

ME:I apologize for my t*rd.

G:As Mr. von Karma predicted, I found a trespasser.

G:I've apprehended her.

G:Hey, wait!

VK:There is no evidence to link the b*llet in my shoulder to the DL- Incident.

VK:I hope you're prepared to receive your verdict,

VK:Miles Edgeworth!

J:Mr. Wright, I take it you have no fresh evidence to present?

PW:W-Well...

J:Then I shall hand down my verdict once and for all—

M:Objection!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Maya!

M:I have the defense's fresh evidence!

VK:Impossible! How did...

M:This is the b*llet that k*lled Mr. Edgeworth's father.

M:I found it hidden

M:in your office!

VK:Y-You wench!

PW:Extract the b*llet in Mr. von Karma's shoulder at once!

PW:And compare the ballistic markings of the two b*ll*ts!

ME:If they match, that will mean they were fired from the same p*stol...

Bo:And prove that you were at the scene of the crime

Bo:perfectly!

PW:What do you have to say,

PW:Mr. von Karma?!

ME:It's that scream I heard in the elevator!

ME:So it was you!

VK:Miles Edgeworth!

VK:You and your father are my curse! You both dare defy me?!

ME:You will be judged by the law.

ME:That is all there is to it.

VK:On that day, fifteen years ago,

VK:I was in the court records room.

VK:The elevators had ceased functioning due to the blackout.

VK:That's when it happened.

VK:I felt a horrible, burning pain in my shoulder.

VK:Just then, the elevator door opened before my eyes.

VK:I saw three people inside, lying unconscious.

VK:One of them was Gregory Edgeworth,

VK:the attorney who had tainted my perfect record!

VK:A p*stol lay at my feet.

VK:I knew then that it was destiny.

VK:Yes, he died,

VK:never knowing who had shot him.

M:So that's why his spirit said Yogi had shot him.

PW:Maybe he was trying to protect the young Miles, as his father.

VK:I never imagined the b*llet from the past would pierce me a second time.

VK:Is this also destiny?

PW:It wasn't the b*llet that pierced you.

PW:It was the truth!

J:Bailiffs!

PW:We did it, Mia!

Lobby,Sign:Lobby No.

LB:I'm totally stoked!

LB:You guys are seriously the greatest!

DG:I always believed you were innocent, Mr. Edgeworth!

M:We did it, Nick!

M:Congrats!

M:And thank you.

M:Oh, that was for my sister.

PW:Maya...

ME:Wright...

PW:So, it's finally over, Edgeworth.

ME:You have my gratitude... Um...

ME:Thank you for all your help.

LB:Hey, you're being so gracious today!

LB:Nice, nice.

PW:With this, I hope I've repaid you a little.

ME:Repaid?

LB:Wait, what's this about?

M:I know, I know! The case of the missing lunch money, right?

DG:Case?

LB:Lunch money?

PW:You defended me during that class trial.

PW:That made me who I am. It's why I'm here now.

ME:Wright...

PW:Remember this?

ME:You still have that?

PW:Of course.

PW:You still have yours, too, right?

ME:Wh-Who can say?

ME:I have no idea where it went.

M:I wonder who really stole the money.

DG:I'd like to know, too...

LB:The lunch money was thirty-eight dollars, right?

M:U-Uh, Larry?

ME:You didn't...

PW:Larry, it was you?!

LB:Y-You've got it all wrong!

LB:I had a good reason for what I did!

PW:I'll sue you and put you on trial!

PW:I'll become a prosecutor to make perfectly sure you're punished!

LB:Then, Edgey, you defend me!

ME:I suppose I'll have to.

DG:Come on, don't fight.

PW:You're the victim! Why would you defend the culprit?!

Mia:Maya...

Mia:You did well, Maya.

M:Sis!
