    When I was a kid, an incident
    gave birth to friendships

    that support me to this day.
[00:18] PW
    But I never expected to unravel the mystery
    behind that case after so long.
[00:26] PW
    It was fifteen years ago, on a morning
    toward the end of summer,

[02:22] PW
    We were classmates,
    but we'd never even talked.
[02:26] PW
    He was always studying.
[02:28] PW
    And to be honest, I felt a bit
    uncomfortable around him.
[02:49] LB
    It really is money!
[02:51] LB
    Hey, I don't think you need that.
[02:59] LB
    Sheesh, you drive a hard bargain.
[03:01] LB
    How about this, then?
[03:03] LB
    It's my most treasured snack!

    The envelope was empty.

    And the class put me on trial as a thief

[04:32] PW
    Edgeworth?
[04:34] ME
    It wasn't you who stole my money, was it?
[04:38] PW
    No.
[04:39] ME
    Then hold your head high.
[04:42] ME
    Everyone's been shouting that you
    did it, but no one has any proof.

    Wh-What are you saying?
[04:48] G
    It was your money that was stolen.
[04:50] G
    We don't need proof!
[04:52] ME
    In a court of law, the evidence tells all.
[04:55] ME
    Before you have the pretension to hold
    a class trial, at least realize that!

    Aren't you guys ashamed of yourselves?

    The defendant has pled not guilty.

    Without evidence to prove his guilt...

    The last bit says "2202."
[07:36] ME
    So a high-rise?

    How can you tell?
[07:38] ME
    2202.

    You were so cool back there, Wright...
[10:07] PW
    I was just so upset.

    Then I shall ask my father.

    Thanks, Edgeworth!

    Let's go home.

    But which way is home?

    Oh...
[10:39] ME
    As I said, no need to worry.
[10:41] ME
    Come. This way.

    Were you dropping bits of dog food earlier?
[10:52] ME
    So we wouldn't be lost returning, yes.
[10:54] LB

    Wright hold him?
