    We have kept you waiting far too long.
[00:14] MC
    Today's finally the day the super-luxury 
    express Silver Star debuts.
[00:20] MC
    The Goldstruck Republic's multimillionaire
    with a deep love for Japan and railways,
[00:24] MC
    Hubley Richnande, poured his personal funds
    into creating a dream private railway.
[00:30] MC
    That is the Silver Star.
[00:32] MC
    Unfortunately, Mr. Richnande
    couldn't be here with us today,
[00:38] MC
    but regardless, we shall
    be departing very shortly.
[00:41] Maya
    Isn't this amazing?
[00:43] Maya
    They made it a choo-choo train on purpose.

    Are you okay, Mayoi-chan?
[03:46] Maya
    Yeah, I let Itonoko-san

[03:50] J
    Prosecutor Saiga, your opening
     statement, please.
[03:57] Sai
    Let me be perfectly clear.
[03:59] Sai
    America's justice system is perfect.
[04:01] Sai
    This retrial is nothing but a waste of time.
[04:05] Rich
    If that were true,
[04:07] Rich
    I wouldn't have had to resort
    to such drastic measures.
[04:12] PW
    Here's the thing. We know absolutely
    nothing about the case.
[04:17] J
    That is certainly true.
[04:21] Sai
    I didn't prosecute the case,
[04:24] Sai
    but as a member of the United
    States Attorney's Office,
[04:27] Sai
    I have a database of notable
    cases on me at all times.
[04:31] Sai
    Let me fill you in.
[04:33] Sai
    One year ago, at the All-American
    Trade Federation's year-end ceremony,
[04:38] Sai
    its secretary-general,
    Yendol Kanesky, was murdered.
[04:42] Sai
    Mr. Kanesky saw the Goldstruck Republic's
     financial might as a threat
[04:46] Sai
    and was trying to boot it
    out of America's economy.
[04:51] Sai
    The accused, Hubley Richnande,
    wouldn't stand for that,
[04:56] Sai
    leading to the incident during the ceremony.

    Here's where the victim was standing.
[05:08] Sai
    He was giving a year-end speech.
[05:11] Sai
    And this is where the shot was fired from.
[05:15] Sai
    Upon hearing the gunshot, everyone in
    attendance looked in that direction
[05:18] Sai
    and found the defendant,
    Hubley Richnande, standing there.
[05:23] Sai
    Nearby policemen restrained him.
[05:27] Sai
    When they frisked him, they found
    the murder weapon, a pistol.
[05:32] Sai
    The barrel was hot, as though
    it had just been fired,
[05:35] Sai
    and only his fingerprints were found on it.
[05:37] Rich
    I didn't have a gun on me back then!
[05:40] Sai
    A pistol was found in the
    defendant's inner coat pocket.
[05:45] Sai
    That is the undeniable truth.
[05:49] J
    Everything does seem to indicate
    the defendant's guilt.
[05:54] Sai
    Of course.
[05:55] PW
    No wonder an American court
    declared him guilty.
[06:01] J
    Defense? What do you say?
[06:04] PW
    I have my doubts about that pistol.
[06:07] Maya
    Yeah! Richnande-san says
    he wasn't carrying one!
[06:11] Rich
    I wasn't. There was no way to
    sneak one into the venue, anyway.

    I mentioned this a year ago too,
[07:16] Pist
    but right before Mr. Kanesky
    was shot, he halted his speech.
[07:21] Pist
    He seemed taken aback by something.
[07:23] PW
    His speech? But why?

    A tray?
[07:43] Cyl
    Mr. Kanesky was distracted by the sound,
[07:45] Cyl
    and the very next moment...
[07:49] Rich
    Yes, a waiter did drop a
    tray right in front of me.
[07:53] Rich
    The gunshot rang out right after that.
[07:56] PW
    Where did you hear the gunshot come from?
[07:58] Rich
    It was very close to me,
    but I don't know where exactly.
[08:01] Cyl
    Yes, I was nearby, too.
[08:03] Pist
    Who drops a tray in a moment like that?
[08:07] Pist
    Some five-star hotel waiter he was.
[08:10] Cyl
    Well, it's understandable. He was hurt.
[08:15] PW
    He was hurt?
[08:17] Cyl
    His right hand was bandaged. That's why I...
[08:21] Sai
    That's enough.
[08:23] Sai
    It has nothing to do with the murder.
[08:25] J
    Well, I fail to see any problems
    with their testimonies.
[08:29] Sai
    Looks like this retrial
    will end long before dawn.

[08:43] Rich

[08:44] PW
    You were the ceremony's guest of honor, yes?
[08:47] Rich
    Yes, that's right.

    Then why were you all the
     way over in a corner?
[08:52] Rich
    Oh, that was because...

[09:08] Jam
    Back then,
[09:09] Jam
    I was listening to the speech.
[09:15] Rich
    Oh no!
[09:16] Rich
    I'll bring you some napkins at once.
[09:20] Rich
    The napkins were on the table at
    the very end of the banquet hall.
[09:24] Rich
    That's why I was there back then.
[09:27] PW
    And that's when the gunshot rang out?
[09:30] Jam
    Yes. The terrible sound made me faint.
[09:34] Cyl
    Who spills champagne on a guest?
[09:37] Cyl
    Some five-star hotel waiter he was.
[09:40] Jam
    Well, it was understandable.
[09:44] PW
    How do you mean?
[09:45] Jam
    That waiter had an injured hand, after all.
[09:50] Maya
    Injured in what way, madam?
[09:52] Jam
    He was wearing a bandage...
[09:55] Jam
    On his right hand.
[09:58] PW
    A waiter with his right hand bandaged?
[10:01] Cyl
    Just like I saw.
[10:04] Sai
    Cease this pointless questioning at once!
SIGN    Objection!
[10:07] PW
    Objection!
[10:10] PW
    The same bandaged right hand...
[10:13] PW
    Which means the two of them
    must have seen the same waiter.
[10:17] J
    That would be the natural assumption.
[10:19] PW
    That makes his behavior highly suspicious!
[10:23] PW
    Right after he spilled champagne
    on Missus Pantaberuno,
[10:26] PW
    he dropped a tray in front of Richnande-san,
    who'd gone to get napkins.
[10:33] PW
    It's almost like he followed him there.
[10:37] J
    He has a point.
[10:39] PW
    And immediately after he dropped the
    tray and drew everyone's attention,
[10:43] PW
    the gun was fired from the same vicinity.
[10:48] J
    What is this waiter's name?
[10:52] Sai
    According to the records, it's Gale.
[10:56] PW
    Gale-san!
[10:57] PW
    Does anyone here know Gale-san?
[11:01] Butter
    Come to think of it, there was an
    unoccupied table during dinner.
[11:05] Jam
    Oh, now that you mention it...

    Wait! Nobody move!

    What's that?

    What's the matter?

    It's on fire!

    Give me that!

    A kn-knife?!

    Could it be...

    Stay away!

    We have to preserve the crime scene.
[12:09] Rich
    Who's that inside?
[12:10] Sai
    Gale. I'm sure of it.
[12:12] Sai
    It seems he was murdered by someone.
[12:14] Rich
    What?!
[12:15] Sai
    Tell the people in the
    dining car what's going on.
[12:18] Sai
    Keep watch and make sure none of them leave!
[12:20] G
    U-Understood!
[12:22] Rich
    How could this be? He was
    an important witness.
[12:26] PW
    Maybe he was murdered because 
    he was an important witness.
[12:28] Rich
    Who was it? Who did it?!
[12:31] PW
    I have no idea.
[12:32] PW
    But I do know the killer is on this train!

    I'm truly sorry.

    Don't tell me...

    organizational malpractice.
[19:48] GuyB
    M-Malpractice?
[19:50] GuyC
    You dare doubt America's justice system?!
[19:53] Chief
    Sure, Hubley Richnande was a
    massive threat to our economy.
[19:59] Chief
    However, that doesn't mean we would ever
    manipulate our courts to get rid of him.
[20:04] ME
    Then...
[20:05] ME
    Why was I summoned here?!
[20:08] ME
    Declared guilty in a sham trial,
    Richnande will have to cry himself to death!
[20:16] Chief
    Apparently, he's not much of a crier.
[20:23] ME
    What is this?
[20:25] ME
    Naruhodo?!
[20:27] ME
    Is this the court on wheels Detective
    Itonokogiri mentioned in his message?
[20:34] ME
    Saiga?
[20:35] Chief
    Richnande's taken over his train
    and is holding a retrial for himself.
[20:41] Chief
    He says he's going to shove
    the truth in our faces.
[20:45] ME
    The truth...
[20:52] Gum
    Enter...
[20:53] Gum
    It's not working! No response!
[20:57] Reg
    The lightning's getting ever closer.
[20:59] Gum
    Prosecutor Mitsurugi, hurry up
     and pass along some info...
[21:16] Gum
    He's dead.
[21:21] Gum
    Did he fall from up there?
[21:24] Reg
    Wait, this man...
[21:26] Gum
    You know him?
[21:28] Reg
    Yes, that's Gale-sama.
[21:30] Gum
    Is he one of you?
[21:32] Reg
    No, he's a passenger from Car 1.
[21:35] Reg
    He should be at the trial
    in the dining car right now!
[21:40] Gum
    Say what?!
