    Good morning, Mr. Wright, sir!

    Wh-Who are you?
[02:57] By
    I'm Maggey Byrde!
[02:59] By
    I'm placing my life in your hands today!
[03:03] PW
    "Your life"?
[03:04] By
    You promised me! You said you
    would prove that I was not guilty!
[03:08] PW
    "Not guilty"?
[03:08] By
    Yep! Even as the Goddess of Misfortune,
    this is the biggest crisis of my life!
[03:12] By
    Looking back, my life has been a trade
    fair of bad luck, defeats, and setbacks!
[03:16] By
    But you said, "Leave it to me!"
    I was moved to tears, Mr. Phoenix Wright!
[03:21] PW
    "Wright"?
[03:21] By
    That's right, Mr. Wright!
[03:24] PW
    Phoenix Wright... What a weird name.

    I want you to believe me! I did not kill him!

    Long time no see, Wright.
[04:18] PW
    Right...
[04:20] PW
    And who are you*?!
[04:23] J
    Your opening statement, Mr. Payne.
[04:26] Payne
    At once, Your Honor. The defendant
    is accused of killing her lover.
[04:31] PW
    You killed your lover?!
[04:33] By
    It wasn't like that!
[04:35] By
    Constable Prince was a senior I respected...
[04:37] Payne
    What's worse, her lover was
    a fellow police officer!
[04:42] PW
    A p-police officer?
[04:44] J
    Please call your first witness.
[04:48] Gum
    I'm Dick Gumshoe.
SIGN    Witness: District Police — Detective Dick Gumshoe
[04:50] Gum
    I'm the detective in charge of
    homicides down at the precinct.
[04:54] PW
    That detective looks down in the dumps.
[04:56] Gum
    Constable Byrde was, uh,
     a very trustworthy subordinate!
[05:01] PW
    You worked under that detective?
[05:04] By
    Yes, sir! He was always watching
    out for me while I was a trainee!
[05:07] By
    He's a wonderful detective!
[05:08] Payne
    Then, Detective, describe for
    us the details of the murder.
[05:11] Gum
    Sir!
SIGN    Witness Testimony
[05:15] Gum
    It happened at the park near
    the precinct, "Exposé Park."
SIGN    Exposé Park
[05:19] Gum
    The victim was one of the
    local cops, Dustin Prince.
[05:21] Gum
    His body was beat up bad,
    and his neck was snapped.
[05:26] Gum
    He was likely pushed down from
    the benches on the upper path.
[05:30] Payne
    There was a very crucial piece of
    evidence found under the victim's body.
[05:35] Payne
    This is it.
[05:36] Gum
    The victim grabbed the killer's
    glasses as he was being shoved
[05:40] Gum
    and held onto them as he fell.
[05:44] PW
    The killer's glasses?
[05:47] PW
    What about those?
[05:49] By
    This is my spare pair.
[05:51] PW
    S-Spare? Th-Then you really...
[05:54] By
    No! The ones they found weren't mine!
[05:56] By
    It was a coincidence that on that same day,
     I accidentally stepped on mine.
[06:00] PW
    Coincidence?
[06:01] By
    Just another day in the life
    of the Goddess of Misfortune.
[06:04] J
    Defense, you may begin
    your cross-examination.
[06:07] PW
    Huh? Cross-examination?
[06:08] PW
    I have to do it?
[06:09] J
    Obviously. Who else would?
[06:12] By
    This is your time to shine!
    I'm counting on you!
[06:16] PW
    Uh, what am I supposed to do?
[06:19] By
    Y-You don't know?
[06:22] PW
    No... I hate to break it to you,
    but I don't remember anything.
[06:27] By
    What?!
[06:28] By
    W-Wait, is it amnesia?
[06:31] PW
    Amnesia?!
[06:33] By
    I now have a new biggest crisis of my life.
[06:38] J
    Defense, hurry up and begin
    your cross-examination.
[06:40] By
    Just go for it!
[06:42] PW
    Right.
[06:44] PW
    Then...
[06:46] PW
    Let's start with the glasses.
[06:47] PW
    Do you have any proof that
    these belong to the defendant?
[06:50] Gum
    The lenses are for a near-sighted wearer,
    and are almost the same prescription as hers.
SIGN    MAGGEY
SIGN    BYRDE
[06:55] Gum
    Even the frames look kinda like
    the ones she's wearing in her ID.
[07:00] PW
    Wait.
[07:01] PW
    "Almost" and "kinda" are not
    good enough in a case like this.
[07:08] PW
    Do you have more definitive proof?
[07:10] Payne
    One moment!
[07:11] Payne
    If you want definitive proof,
[07:12] Payne
    take a look at this photo.
SIGN    Maggie
[07:16] PW
    M-Maggie?
[07:18] J
    That's the defendant's name, Maggie Byrde.
[07:23] By
    It's a setup! A conspiracy!
[07:27] J
    Order! Order!
[07:29] PW
    The victim wrote her name? There's no hope!
SIGN    Maggey
[07:37] PW
    What?
[07:39] PW
    Hold it!
[07:40] Gum
    Th-There it is! Really makes
    my empty stomach rumble...
[07:45] PW
    What's come over me?
[07:47] PW
    Without thinking, I just yelled out.
[07:49] PW
    And I yelled it at the top of*
    my lungs, finger outstretched.
[07:52] PW
    Witness, please state the
    defendant's name for me.
[07:56] Gum
    Huh? Well, it's Maggie Byrde.
[07:58] PW
    How is it spelled?
[08:00] Payne
    Hold it!
[08:01] Payne
    This line of questioning is pointless!
SIGN    Maggie
[08:03] Payne
    Just look at the photo!
[08:04] PW
    Sure, it does say "Maggie."
[08:07] PW
    But the defendant's name is spelled "Maggey"!
SIGN    MAGGEY
SIGN    BYRDE
SIGN    MAGGEY
SIGN    Maggie
SIGN    Maggey
[08:14] PW
    This is a blatant contradiction of facts!
[08:17] Payne
    B-But... Maybe the victim didn't know
    how to spell her name correctly!
[08:23] PW
    May I remind you that it was you who said,
SIGN    Maggie
SIGN    Maggey
[08:25] PW
    "The defendant is accused
    of killing her lover."
[08:29] PW
    There's no way he wouldn't
    have known his lover's name!
[08:33] Gum
    The day of the incident happened
    to be Constable Prince's birthday.
[08:37] Gum
    Maggey had gotten him a present.
[08:41] PW
    And is this it?
[08:43] PW
    That's an awfully yellow glove.
[08:46] By
    He loved baseball
    and the color yellow to death!
[08:49] J
    Oh? Is that glove relevant to this case?
[08:54] Gum
    Huh? I'm not sure.
[09:00] PW
    Actually, that glove is the
    key to this whole case!
[09:06] PW
    Take a close look at the glove.
    It's made for a left-handed person.
[09:12] PW
    And now, look at the crime scene photo again.
SIGN    Maggie
[09:15] Gum
    H-He wrote with his right hand!
[09:16] By
    That's right! He was a southpaw!
SIGN    Maggie
[09:20] PW
    There's no way a southpaw would use his
    right hand to write a dying message.
[09:24] PW
    Therefore, whoever wrote that...
[09:30] PW
    It wasn't the victim!
[09:36] PW
    What was that?
[09:38] PW
    I still can't remember,
    but I can feel the rush.
[09:41] PW
    Energy is surging through my body!
[09:44] J
    It seems that we have reached a conc—
[09:47] Payne
    Hold it!
[09:48] Payne
    Your Honor, the prosecution
    is not finished yet!
[09:52] J
    What?!
[09:53] By
    No way!
[09:55] Payne
    There was a witness to this murder.
[09:59] Payne
    And the witness saw the moment the
    victim was pushed to his death.
[10:02] Payne
    What's more, he saw the
    very face of the culprit!
[10:07] By
    I'm telling you, it wasn't me!
[10:10] J
    Summon the witness to the stand!
[10:13] Payne
    Sir, meet the drifter who was taking a
    walk in the park on the day of the murder!
[10:18] Well
    Hi!
[10:32] PW
    He saw the culprit?
[10:36] Payne
    Please state your name
    for the court, witness.
[10:38] Well
    First, I'd like to clarify something.
[10:39] Well
    Just now, you introduced my wonderful
    self to the court, correct?
[10:42] Well
    Perhaps as a "drifter who was taking a walk"?
[10:45] Payne
    Huh? Did I?
[10:47] Well
    But I can't have you
    judging me with such bias.
[10:50] Well
    Sure, I suppose calling me a university
    student would not be the absolute truth.
[10:53] Well
    But everything in my life is to be of the
    utmost, top grade quality, you understand.
[10:55] Well
    I am merely looking for that perfect,
    top notch university, don't you see?
[10:56] Well
    I have a rigorous selection process.
[10:57] Payne
    Yes, yes, I understand.
    I'll keep that in mind.
[11:00] Well
    Only first-rate fashion, cars,
    women, and glasses may apply!
[11:03] Well
    And of course, the same goes for university!
[11:06] PW
    But you aren't wearing glasses...
[11:10] J
    That's enough! Your name, witness!

    I don't know about this prosecutor of yours.
[11:16] Well
    I am Richard Wellington.
SIGN    Witness: Gap-Year Student — Richard Wellington
[11:18] Well
    You may say I'm more or
    less a university student.

    What do you mean, more or less?
[11:23] Well
    Shall I begin, then?
SIGN    Witness Testimony
[11:27] Well
    I was strolling through Exposé Park that day
[11:30] Well
    when all of a sudden,
     in front of my eyes,
[11:32] Well
    a police officer falls from above!
[11:35] Well
    I looked up in surprise and
    locked eyes with an aghast lady.
[11:39] Well
    Indeed, it was her!
[11:44] PW
    Was there anything else you noticed?
[11:46] Well
    Hmm... Let me think...
[11:48] Well
    Oh, right! I saw a bunch
    of bananas fall with him!
[11:51] PW
    B-Bananas? At the scene?
[11:54] Well
    Indeed. They were extremely yellow
    and looked rather appetizing.
[11:57] PW
    Bananas? Extremely yellow?
[12:01] PW
    Could the bananas have been...
[12:02] Well
    Yes, that's them over there.
[12:06] PW
    Really?
[12:08] PW
    If you think they look so yummy,
     do you care for a bite?
[12:16] Well
    It can't be... That's bananas!
[12:19] PW
    By the way, how's your eyesight?
[12:21] Well
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you asking me
    about this all of a sudden?
[12:23] Payne
    Objection!
[12:24] Payne
    You can't say he has bad eyesight just
    because he mistook a glove for bananas.
[12:28] J
    Objection overruled.
[12:30] Well
    They're both 20/200! Problem?
[12:32] J
    20/200? That's certainly not good.
[12:36] PW
    Why aren't you wearing your glasses today?
[12:38] Well
    Ack!
[12:40] Well
    I lost them recently, you see...
[12:42] PW
    You lost them?
[12:44] PW
    Could it be that
[12:45] PW
    these glasses are actually yours?
[12:48] Well
    Wh-Where did you find...
[12:51] PW
    They were found under the victim's body.
[12:54] Well
    Wh-What?!
SIGN    Maggie
[12:56] PW
    Why were your glasses there?
[13:01] Well
    How would I know?
[13:03] Well
    Besides, didn't the victim
    name his killer, Maggie?
[13:07] PW
    Sure, he did write "Maggie,"
[13:09] PW
    but her name is spelled this way.
SIGN    MAGGEY
SIGN    MAGGEY
[13:11] Well
    Ack!
SIGN    Maggie
[13:12] PW
    Besides, the victim was left-handed.
[13:14] PW
    So this was an attempt to frame her.
[13:17] PW
    The real killer used the victim's
    right hand to write it!
[13:21] Well
    It wasn't me.
[13:23] Well
    To write that message, the killer
    would've had to know her name.
[13:27] Well
    But I don't know her at all!
[13:31] PW
    You don't know him either, right?
[13:34] By
    Right. But speaking of my name...
[13:36] By
    That day, when Constable Prince and
    I were walking around the park,
[13:39] By
    we found a cell phone.
[13:42] By
    Um, hello? I'm Maggey.
[13:45] Well
    Oh, thank you! I've been
    searching for my phone.
[13:48] By
    I'm glad you called!
[13:49] By
    We can meet up, and I can give this back!
[13:51] Well
    I'll be right there!
[13:55] By
    So we both waited right there,
[13:59] By
    but nobody showed up.
[14:01] By
    Right after I split up with him,
     I heard a scream...
[14:05] By
    And I found him dead.
[14:08] PW
    Maggey's name... It all adds up!
[14:12] PW
    Witness, did you lose
    your cell phone recently?
[14:16] Well
    S-So what if I did?
[14:17] PW
    You tried calling the number
    in a bid to get it back.
[14:20] Well
    How did you...
[14:22] PW
    That's when you learned
    that her name was Maggey.
[14:26] PW
    And that's when you incorrectly assumed
SIGN    Maggey
[14:28] PW
    that it was spelled this way!
SIGN    Maggie
[14:32] PW
    This mistake could only
    occur if you heard the name!
[14:36] PW
    It's clear as day now.
[14:38] PW
    The real murderer...
[14:41] PW
    ...is you!
[14:42] Well
    Eek!
[14:44] Payne
    Objection!
[14:45] Payne
    The witness has no motive to commit murder!
[14:49] Well
    Th-That is absolutely correct!
    Why would I kill a cop?
[14:53] J
    Fair point.
[14:54] J
    Defense, can you explain what motive
    this witness could have had?
[14:59] PW
    Well...
[15:02] Payne
    Impossible. They'd never even met.
[15:07] PW

    Wh-What is this?
[15:39] Maya
    I put together a crazy list!

    Putting it together was

[15:46] PW
    Names and phone numbers?
[15:49] PW
    Uh, what is this?
[15:51] Maya
    What? You're the one who
    asked me to look this up!
[15:55] By
    They're the contacts from the
    phone I picked up that day!
[15:59] Maya
    Would you believe it? They were all
    members of a group of con artists!

    Group of con artists...
    cell phone... name...

[16:16] PW
    Where is that cell phone now?
[16:18] Maya
    Don't you have it?
[16:20] By
    I gave it to you when I
    hired you to defend me.
[16:24] PW
    Let me see...
[16:26] Maya
    That's the one!
[16:28] By
    Yep!
[16:29] PW
    Thank you. You provided the
    last piece of the puzzle, miss.
[16:32] Maya
    "Miss"?
[16:34] PW
    Judge, this is the motive right here!
[16:36] J
    What?
[16:38] PW
    The cell phone the defendant found.
[16:41] PW
    When we looked up the contacts stored on it,
[16:43] PW
    we found that they were all members
    of a group of con artists.
[16:46] Payne
    Con artists?!
[16:48] PW
    Witness, you'd saved your friends'
    phone numbers on this thing.
[16:52] Payne
    Objection!
[16:54] Payne
    The witness had been told he'd get it back!
[16:57] Payne
    Why would he have to kill?
[16:59] PW
    Because when he got there, he saw it...
[17:02] PW
    The victim's outfit!
[17:05] Maya
    It's a police uniform!
[17:06] PW
    That's right. Constable Prince was in
    uniform when he met the defendant.
[17:12] PW
    When you saw that, you incorrectly
    assumed she brought a cop along.
[17:17] PW
    "If he suspects anything and
    runs a check on my phone..."
[17:20] PW
    In your mind, it was possible
    they'd already run one!
[17:23] PW
    So you went into a panic
[17:25] PW
    and killed Constable Prince
    by pushing him over!
[17:34] Well
    Not bad for a lawyer with
    a third-rate education.
[17:37] PW
    What's so funny?
[17:38] Well
    That's not my phone!
[17:47] Maya
    It's the same model as the one Nick has?
[17:49] Well
    I've already found the phone I lost.
[17:53] Well
    Incidentally, the numbers stored on this
    phone have all magically disappeared.
[17:57] Well
    It must've glitched when I dropped it.
[18:00] PW
    He erased all the numbers that
    could be used as evidence?
[18:02] Well
    Numbers of a con artist group? Nice setup!
[18:06] Maya
    N-Nick...
[18:08] PW
    Where did you find that cell phone, anyway?
[18:16] Well
    Oh, you are too much!

    Of course you wouldn't know!

    Aw, he turned the tables on us.
