Hazakura_Temple,Sign: Hazakura Temple

PW: A m*rder took place at Hazakura Temple, a mountain getaway for training.

PW: Edgeworth, who took to court as the defense in a one-off,

PW: showed that the crime scene may have beenfalsified, and that the truth was crazier.

God: You call Mia Fey your mentor? I'd say you've learned nothing.

God: You robbed her of her life.

God: And now, you're about tolet her sister suffer the same fate!

PW: The real scene of the m*rder was the Inner Temple's courtyard.

PW: And there, I spotted the signsof a terrifying crime.

Gum: The analysis results are in. The victim wrote this in her own blood.

PW: Elise wrote this?

ioyaM,Sign: ayaM

PW: But why is it backwards?

Gum: That's what proves she wrote it herself, pal.

Gum: Cornered by the culprit,

Gum: the victim had her back to the lantern.

PW: It would look backwards to us!

PW: You said "the culprit's name." You mean Maya did it?

Gum: Th-That's what HQ is thinking.

PW: Maya...

PW: I remember this.

PW: Elise was wearing it.

PW: W-Wait, this crest!

PW: I saw it in the Inner Temple!

PW: Doesn't this symbolize...

PW: Why is it here?

Gum: Oh, right. Just moments ago,

Gum: I found something curious over there.

Gum: Curious, are we?

PW: Looks like someone tried to burn this.

___into_action__,Sign: ...into action...come to, it will all be over. Channel a spirit as soon as you hear the bell for lights out and leave the rest to her. Her name is... ...is on our side, so don't worry about a thing. Here is a photo of her. Use it when you channel her. I know you can do it. After everything is over, burn this letter. You mustn't tell anyone about it. Gravely sunder the Master, roast her in the fires of Hades, and bring our vengeance to fruition.

PW: What is this?

PW: The entire plan is written down here!

PW: Are these... instructions?

PW: Gumshoe, can I keep this for a while?

Gum: Take it in this bag.

PW: Iris!

Iris: Mr. Wright...

PW: Please, hurry up and save Maya!

Iris: Of course. I'm going to the Inner Temple now.

Fran: Not so fast!

Fran: You wait in the Main Hall.

PW: Why? I'm going with you!

Fran: I can't allow that.

PW: Is it because Maya is a suspect now?

Fran: So you do understand, Phoenix Wright.

PW: I'm counting on you, Iris!

PW: This is something only you can do!

Iris: Right.

Fran: Get going.

PW: Yeah, I need to focus on what I can do, too.

Bik: Talk about a surprise.

Bik: You're still alive!

Bik: Oh, may the gods have mercy!

PW: Quit paying your respects!

PW: I only fell in the river and caught a cold!

Bik: Oh? That's great to hear!

Bik: I suppose I've made a terrible mess of things, haven't I?

Bik: I let Mystic Elise die,and then there's Iris, too.

PW: "Mystic Elise"?

PW: Sister Bikini, I noticed that you refer to her as "Mystic Elise."

PW: Why is that? She wasn't hereas an spirit medium.

Bik: W-Well...

PW: Look at what she was wearing.

PW: This crest can also be seen onthe hanging scroll in the training hall.

PW: Isn't it reserved for the Master of Kurain?

Bik: Why do you know that?

PW: The Master's daughter, Maya Fey, told me.

Bik: The Master's daughter? You mean that trainee...

PW: ...is the next Master.

Bik: Mystic Misty!

PW: So Elise really was Misty Fey?

Bik: She came here about a week ago.

Bik: When she showed me the talismanwith that crest on it, I nearly fainted!

Bik: No one had seen her in seventeen years!

PW: Why did she choose to show herself now?

Bik: Mystic Misty said...

Mai: The Kurain School's main family bloodline is in danger of dying out.

Mai: And I'm here to stop that from happening.

PW: The main family bloodline?

Bik: The Kurain School only has one successor.

Bik: The Master and her daughters alone can be called the main family.

PW: And all the others are branch families?

Bik: Yes.

Bik: So the Kurain's history is dotted with... incidents.

Bik: Assassination plots where branch families tried to wipe out the main family.

PW: Assassination?

PW: One year ago,

PW: the Master's older sister tried to frame Maya for m*rder.

Bik: Morgan Fey... I think she's now...

PW: In prison.

PW: Morgan Fey tried to make her daughter,Pearls, the Master.

Bik: If you know about Mystic Morgan,

Bik: then you must've already realizedthe truth about Iris.

PW: Iris?

Bik: Iris is her daughter.

PW: What?!

Bik: Mystic Morgan had identical twin daughters.

PW: Twin?

PW: Then Pearls had twoolder sisters who were twins?

Bik: Long ago, when Mystic Morgan's husband at thetime learned she wouldn't become the Master,

Bik: he left her and Kurain Village, taking their twin daughters with him.

Bik: He decided to give one of his girls up, to be looked after at Hazakura Temple.

Bik: That was Iris.

PW: About those twins...Do you know the other one's name?

PW: Was it... Dahlia?

Bik: Ah, yes. I believe that was it.

PW: Iris is Dahlia Hawthorne's twin sister?!

Bik: Wh-What's going on?

Bik: E-Earthquake!

Bik: Gods help us!

PW: It died down.

Bik: Those tremors were strong! Th-The Inner Temple!

Bik: The Sacred Cavern might crumble down!

PW: What?!

PW: Iris escaped?!

Fran: Due to Scruffy here!

Gum: I'm so sorry!

Fran: That earthquake happened right after I got here with that woman.

Gum: I came to pick them up, and when I took my eye off her for a second...

Gum: I have no excuse!

Fran: Useless fool!

Fran: I've had checkpoints set upall across this area.

PW: That won't be necessary.

Fran: What do you mean,

Fran: Phoenix Wright?

PW: You'll find Iris is over there.

Fran: The Inner Temple?

Fran: Don't be silly! It's completely isolated!

Fran: There's nowhere to run!

PW: The girl I know would never run away.

Fran: What happened?

PW: Th-The trick locks...

PW: There are more of them!

PW: Iris.

Iris: I apologize for running earlier.

Iris: I was worried about the Sacred Cavern.

Gum: Who could have done this?

Fran: It doesn't matter.

Fran: We'll just have to remove them at once.

Iris: I believe that might be difficult.

PW: Why's that?

Iris: These trick locks can only be openedby the person who set them.

PW: I forgot about that.

Iris: There are hundreds of possible combinations.

Iris: Try each one, and it should unlock.

Iris: But...

Fran: It might take a while.

Iris: Yes.

Iris: A whole day, probably.

PW: No way!

Fran: Better late than never.

Fran: Can you get started right away?

Iris: Yes. I'll do what I can.

February______,Sign: February — : PMHazakura Temple — Mountain Gate

PW: One more day...

PW: Can Maya hold out?

PW: Please be okay!

ME: What a reckless man you are.

PW: Edgeworth!

PW: I'm just trying to dowhatever I can, as best I can.

PW: What brings you here?

ME: I came to confirm whetherthis crystal sphere really was the victim's.

PW: Wow, so hardworking.

PW: This is heavy.

ME: Also, I wanted to check this area one more time.

ME: We haven't found the real m*rder weapon yet.

PW: Are these...

PW: bloodstains?

PW: You were right.

PW: The real m*rder weapon was out here.

ME: I'll take it to forensics right away.We need to analyze the blood.

PW: Yeah.

PW: Why was Misty Fey carrying that around?

ME: I looked into Iris.

ME: Something was bothering me sinceI first saw her at the detention center.

ME: I felt that I had met her before.

ME: I remember now.

ME: It was my first appearance in court, and it was my worst nightmare.

PW: Dahlia Hawthorne, huh?

ME: Yes, Dahlia Hawthorne.

ME: A woman you could never forget, either.

PW: I was so surprised whenI found out you'd known her, too.

ME: It seems she had a twin sister.

ME: And that's Sister Iris.

PW: Yeah, I know.

PW: You've already gotten that far? That's impressive.

ME: For a moment, I felt Dahlia Hawthorne's shadow looming over this case.

ME: I knew that it wasan impossibility, of course.

PW: What do you mean?

ME: Dahlia Hawthorne is gone now.

ME: It was carried out last month...

ME: She was ex*cuted.

PW: What?

ME: It probably comes as a shock to you, but surely you understand now.

ME: You won't find her involved in this case.

ME: The dead can never come back.

PW: "The dead can never come back"?

Iris: Is that you, Mister Wright?

PW: Yes.

Iris: I'm sorry. It looks like I really can't get the door opened until tomorrow.

PW: Please keep going.

PW: I'm here to ask you something.

Iris: What is it?

PW: It's about the night of the m*rder.

PW: After ringing the bellfor lights out at PM,

PW: you stayed in your room inthe main temple, or so you claim.

Iris: Do you think I'm lying?

PW: I met you there myselfjust before you rang the bell.

PW: I heard the bell, too.

PW: But someone saw you in the Inner Temple at around the same time, PM.

Iris: Sister Bikini?

PW: Yes. I hear she testified in court today

PW: that she not only saw you, but also spoke to you.

PW: That would mean there were two of you that night.

Iris: What kind of joke is that? There was another of me?

PW: Dahlia Hawthorne...

PW: Your twin sister, who was ex*cuted recently.

Iris: Mister Wright...

Iris: The dead can never come back.

PW: Sadly, that basic fact of lifedoesn't apply here.

PW: I don't need to explain myself, do I?

PW: The other "you" who showed up here that night

PW: was the spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne, channeled by a medium.

Iris: You never cease to amaze, Mister Wright.

PW: So you did know after all.

PW: Why didn't you say so?

Iris: As a traitor, I couldn't get in Sister's way.

PW: "Traitor"?

Iris: You know about it, don't you?

Iris: The fake kidnapping from a decade ago.

Iris: That incident turned our destiny on its head.

Iris: Sister committed crime after crime, and lost her life due to it.

Iris: It was all because I betrayed her.

PW: You betrayed her?

Iris: It was no coincidence that Dusky Bridge was the location for the ransom handover.

Iris: In the original plan, I was supposed to help her.

PW: What?

Iris: But I was so scared.

Iris: I ended up running away.

PW: Of course! Nobody would want to be an accomplice to a crime!

PW: Especially if it involved stealing million from their own father!

Iris: That was Sister's way of getting revenge

Iris: on the man who abandoned Mother because she couldn't be Master.

PW: Your mother... Morgan Fey?

Iris: Yes.

Iris: I should have helped Sister back then.

Iris: Anyway, I should get back to the locks.

PW: Can I ask you one last thing?

Iris: What is it?

PW: After Dahlia Hawthorne poisoned a defense attorney six years ago,

PW: she started dating a certain college student.

PW: Have you heard anything about him?

Iris: I did hear one thing.

Iris: She said she hated his guts.

PW: Thank you.

LB: There, all done!

LB: Damn, that's hot!

LB: Here, eat up.

Pearl: Thank you.

PW: That looks good.

Pearl: Nick.

LB: What do you want? You're not getting our potatoes!

PW: I don't want any.

PW: I'm here to talk to Pearls.

Pearl: To me?

PW: The reason we came to Hazakura Temple at all

PW: was because you showed us that magazine, wasn't it?

PW: That article...

Raising_Your_Spi: ,Raising {\c&HEF&}Your Spiritual Power {\c&HFC&}Winter {\c&HEECEB&}Special

PW: Did someone ask you to show it to Maya?

Pearl: How could you tell?

PW: This was found in the incinerator by the Inner Temple.

Channel_a_spirit,Sign: Channel a spirit as soon as you hear the bell for lights out and leave the rest to her. Gravely sunder the Master, roast her in the fires of Hades, and bring our vengeance to fruition.

PW: It's a written plan for this entire incident.

PW: Looks like it didn't totally burn up.

PW: You were the one who channeled Dahlia Hawthorne that night, weren't you?

PW: Do you know who she is?

Pearl: N-No.

LB: Hey, Nick!

LB: If you bully Pearl, I'll stuff your facewith a super hot potato!

PW: I said I don't want any!

Pearl: I don't know about any letter!

Pearl: D-Do you have any proof that I did it?!

PW: Pearls...

LB: Yeah, yeah! Where's the proof?

PW: All the pieces just fell into place.

PW: I now know how this entire incident went down.

PW: That night, someone followed the instructions in the letter

PW: and channeled Dahlia Hawthorne's spirit.

PW: Whoever did it was a child.

Pearl: Huh?

PW: I mean, no adult would've made a simple mistake like that.

PW: There was curry splattered on the hanging scroll in the Inner Temple.

PW: You did that, didn't you?

Pearl: How did you know?

PW: I remembered what happened that night.

Gravely_sunder,Sign: Gravely sunder

PW: "Gravely"... "sunder"...

PW: You learned how to read them, but you didn't learn what they meant.

PW: "Gravely sunder the Master, roast her in the fires of Hades"...

LB: Oh, d-don't tell me...

PW: Am I right, Pearls?

Pearl: "Gravely" sounded like "gravy" to me.

PW: And that's why you coveredthe picture of the Master in curry gravy.

Pearl: I'm sorry.

PW: Your mother wrote this letter to you, didn't she?

PW: It was Morgan Fey.

PW: That's why you followed the instructions.

Pearl: She said in the letter

Pearl: that it was her final wish, and thatI had to follow the instructions carefully.

PW: "Final wish"?

Pearl: Mother said it would help Mystic Maya, too.

PW: Morgan said that?

Pearl: She told me about the letter when I went to visit her.

Pearl: She said she hid it in our home.

PW: So Morgan planned this before she got arrested?

Pearl: However...

Pearl: The seal on that letter was broken, as if someone had already opened it.

PW: Someone had opened it already?

Pearl: Yes.

LB: It wasn't me!

PW: So someone read this letter before Pearls did?

Pearl: I'm a bad girl.

Pearl: That must be why I lost my powers.

PW: You lost your powers?

PW: After dinner that night, I didn't go to Miss Elise's room.

PW: I was too worried about Mystic Maya.

PW: I see. You went to the Inner Temple.

Pearl: The letter said to channel the spirit once I heard the bell for lights out.

PW: So you called Dahlia Hawthorne's spirit?

Pearl: Well...

Pearl: I couldn't do it!

PW: You couldn't?

Pearl: It had never happened before!

Pearl: I was so shocked, but I had to follow the instructions in the letter.

PW: And that's why you splattered the curry.

Pearl: I tried over and over to summon the spirit,

Pearl: but I just couldn't do it.

PW: Can you think of any other explanation for why you couldn't channel her?

Pearl: There's one other possibility.

Pearl: Someone else might've already channeled her.

Pearl: There's only one of each spirit.

PW: Someone channeled Dahliabefore Pearls did?

Pearl: Mystic Maya is all right, isn't she?

Pearl: I'm sure Mother is watching over her!

PW: Y-Yeah, that's right.

Morgan: You've done so well, my dear Pearl.

Morgan: It's better that you know nothing.

Morgan: The blood of the main family is no more.

Morgan: Now you are to finally take your placeas the Master of the clan.
