    When I accompanied Maya there,

    Picture book author Elise Deauxnim

    As I'd heard, it is pretty cold here.

    So this is it. Dusky Bridge...

    Oh, Prosecutor Edgeworth!
[02:45] ME
    Detective Gumshoe...
[02:46] Gum
    Long time no see, sir!
[02:48] Gum
    I begged to work on this case
    because I heard you were coming!

    As ridiculous as ever, I see.
[02:54] Gum
    Dick Gumshoe will be at your service all day!

    Is that so? Thank you.
[03:01] ME
    By the way, Detective, there is
    something I must tell you first.
SIGN    Objectiooon!
[03:08] Gum
    Objection!
[03:10] Gum
    What are you saying?
[03:11] Gum
    You're going to defend Sister Iris?!
[03:14] ME
    Well, it somehow turned out that way.
[03:17] Gum
    You're Prosecutor Edgeworth
    because you're a prosecutor!
[03:19] Gum
    "Prosecutor Edgeworth, Defense Attorney"
     just sounds plain weird!
[03:23] Gum
    It's contradictory!
[03:26] ME
    Anyway, give me a sitrep
    on the investigation.
[03:29] Gum
    B-But I'm a cop, and you're the defense.
    I don't know if I can say anything.
[03:35] ME
    That's not for you to worry about.
[03:37] ME
    All you need to do is leak
    your information to me.
[03:42] Gum
    Roger that! I'm a leaky faucet now!
[03:44] ME
    R-Right, that's the spirit.
[03:51] ME
    Is the Inner Temple where Maya
    is stranded on the other side?
[03:56] Gum
    Yes. The air's really turbulent right now,
     so we can't do an aerial extraction.

    No one's gonna be able to

    Sorry, sir.
[04:58] ME
    Then...
[04:59] ME
    I'd like to ask you about last night.
[05:02] Bi
    Last night, I accompanied the
    trainee to the Inner Temple.
[05:06] ME
    The trainee? You mean Maya Fey?
[05:08] Bi
    Yep.
[05:09] Bi
    Training lasts all night long, and the
    head nun must be in attendance throughout.
[05:14] ME
    Throughout the night?
[05:16] ME
    Didn't the incident occur
    in the courtyard here?
[05:21] Bi
    That's right. I came back for a bit.
[05:23] Bi
    Iris took my place.
[05:25] ME
    Iris did?
[05:27] Bi
    I've got a bad lower back.
[05:29] Bi
    Iris came to the Inner Temple
     to check on me.
[05:32] Bi
    And she told me to get some rest in my room.
[05:36] Iris
    At 10 PM, I rang the bell for lights out.
[05:39] Iris
    After that, I stayed in my room
    until it happened.
[05:43] Bi
    When I headed back to
    the Inner Temple after my break,
[05:46] Bi
    I... I saw it! In the courtyard!
[05:48] Gum
    What did you see?
[05:54] Bi
    No! I can't say it!
[05:58] Bi
    Iris... Iris!
[06:01] ME
    Did you see Iris in the courtyard?
[06:02] Bi
    Yes! That's right!
[06:05] Bi
    Why did that gentle girl
    do something so heinous?!
[06:10] Bi
    I let out a scream and passed out.
[06:13] Bi
    I came to when the boy with the
    spiky hair stepped on my belly!
[06:17] ME
    That matches Wright's story.
[06:19] ME
    She doesn't seem to be lying.
[06:22] Gum
    Gross, pal!
[06:26] ME
    Is there anything else you'd like to mention?
[06:28] Bi
    Come to think of it, there is.
[06:30] Bi
    I can't find Pearl!
[06:33] ME
    "Pearl"?
[06:34] Bi
    A tiny little girl who was with the trainee.
[06:37] Bi
    I haven't seen her all day.

    It seems she visited Elise's room last night.

SIGN    February 8 — 3:12 PM Hazakura Temple Courtyard
[06:57] Gum
    I've arranged a search for Pearl Fey, sir.
[07:00] ME
    Good work.
[07:01] Gum
    This is where the murder took place.
[07:03] Gum
    Other than removing the body,
    we left everything else untouched.
[07:06] ME
    Is that the murder weapon?
[07:08] Gum
    Yes, sir. It's a sword called the Shichishito.
[07:12] ME
    What do we know about the victim?
[07:14] Gum
    Elise Deauxnim, picture book author.
     Her real name is unknown.
[07:18] Gum
    And so is her past up until she
    won that writing award last year.
[07:22] ME
    That's rare in this day and age.
[07:24] Gum
    The estimated time of death is
    between 10 and 11 PM last night.
[07:28] Gum
    Cause of death was blood loss
    resulting from a stab to the back.
[07:32] ME
    That's terrible.
[07:33] Gum
    Also, the victim's entire
    body was covered in bruises.
[07:38] ME
    Bruises?
[07:39] Gum
    Yes, sir. They're consistent with falling
    from the height of a two-story building.
[07:44] ME
    That would be the same height
    as that room, correct?
[07:46] Gum
    Way to go! That just happens to be the
    room the victim was staying in last night!
[07:51] ME
    So she was pushed down from that room
    and then stabbed with a sword?
[07:57] ME
    What's that?
[07:58] Gum
    The victim's cane.
[07:59] Gum
    Her fingerprints were found on it.
[08:01] Gum
    Oh, speaking of fingerprints...
[08:04] ME
    What is it?
[08:05] Gum
    The murder weapon had the accused's
    fingerprints all over it!
[08:11] ME
    That's some decisive evidence.
[08:14] Gum
    Right... You're the defense attorney...
[08:21] ME
    A desperate situation, huh?
[08:24] ME
    Is this how Wright always felt when he
    took to court in the defendant's corner?
[08:29] Gum
    Are you seriously going to
    be the defense attorney?
[08:33] ME
    Yes.
[08:34] Gum
    But what if they find out
    you're a prosecutor?
[08:36] Gum
    You're pretty famous, you know?
[08:39] ME
    That's why I arranged a different
    judge for tomorrow's trial.
[08:45] Gum
    Actually, we can't get in touch with
    Prosecutor Godot, who's handling this case.
[08:50] ME
    No problem. I've already arranged
    for a prosecutor as well.
[08:55] ME
    What?
[08:56] Gum
    You're amazing, Prosecutor Edgeworth!
     You can do everything!

    Were you?

    after Nick told me to.

SIGN    Witness Testimony
[14:58] Bi
    That night, I was helping a trainee
    with her training in the Inner Temple.
[15:02] Bi
    At around 10 PM, Iris came for me,
[15:05] Bi
    so I left her to help the trainee
    and returned to Hazakura Temple.
[15:08] ME
    Hold it!
[15:09] Bi
    That can't be right.
[15:11] Bi
    The defendant never went to
    the Inner Temple that night.
[15:15] Bi
    Isn't that right, defendant?
[15:17] Iris
    Yes. I was in my room in Hazakura Temple
    until the incident happened.
[15:23] Bi
    B-But I did see her.
[15:25] Bi
    She was dressed exactly
    the same as at dinner!
[15:28] ME
    "Exactly the same"?
[15:29] Bi
    That's right!
[15:30] Bi
    The same robes as always, and the same hood!
[15:33] ME
    Unfortunately, that can't be right, either.
[15:37] ME
    Iris...
[15:38] ME
    What had you done with your hood that night?
[15:41] Iris
    I gave it to Mr. Wright before
    ringing the bell for lights out.
[15:46] Fran
    What?
[15:47] ME
    Indeed. That night,
[15:49] ME
    the defendant wasn't wearing her hood.
[15:51] ME
    Given that, who did the witness really see?
[15:55] Fran
    Hah! Are you saying the defendant's
    doppelganger showed up there?
[15:58] Fran
    And who would that be?
[16:00] ME
    We do not know at this moment.
[16:02] ME
    However...
[16:03] ME
    I demand that the witness
    be precise with her testimony.
[16:07] Bi
    Th-That's weird. I know what I saw...
[16:12] ME
    She doesn't appear to be lying.
[16:14] ME
    I should keep this mysterious
    contraction in mind for later.
[16:17] J
    Well, witness, continue with your testimony.
[16:21] J
    And give every detail with precision.
[16:22] Bi
    Okay.
[16:24] Bi
    After resting a bit in Hazakura Temple,
    I started back for the Inner Temple at 11.
[16:28] Bi
    On the way, I heard a noise
    from the courtyard.
[16:31] Bi
    That's when I saw it!
[16:33] Bi
    Iris holding the sword, which had been
    plunged to the hilt in Elise's back!
[16:38] J
    You saw something truly horrifying.
[16:41] Bi
    That's the last thing I remember.
[16:43] Bi
    I passed out after that.
[16:45] ME
    Are you certain it was the defendant?
[16:48] Bi
    Yes, I'm sure.
[16:50] Bi
    She wasn't wearing a hood,
[16:52] Bi
    but that was Iris.
[16:54] Bi
    And when I came to,
    Elise was beneath the golden statue.
[16:59] Fran
    Game over, Miles Edgeworth.
[17:03] Fran
    The witness's testimony is decisive.
[17:06] Fran
    Also, the defendant's fingerprints were
    found on the Shichishito, the murder weapon.
[17:11] J
    What? Her fingerprints?
[17:13] Fran
    This proves that she did it.
[17:16] Fran
    The prosecution requests a guilty verdict.
[17:22] J
    What do you say, defense?
[17:26] ME
    So this is what it's like to
    be a defense attorney? Not bad.
[17:30] ME
    Very well.
[17:32] ME
    I'll turn things about in my own way.
SIGN    Objection!
[17:37] ME
    Objection!
[17:42] ME
    If the sword had been plunged in to the hilt,
[17:44] ME
    then its entire blade
    would be stained in blood.
[17:47] ME
    But look at the crime scene photo.
[17:50] J
    Only the tip is covered in blood!
[17:53] ME
    One more thing.
[17:55] ME
    Is it even possible to stab a person
    all the way through with this sword?
[18:00] Fran
    Th-That's...
[18:01] Bi
    But I saw it!
[18:03] Bi
    The sword was plunged in to
    the hilt in Elise's back!
[18:06] J
    Hmm... What is the meaning of this?
[18:10] ME
    There is but one conclusion to draw.
[18:12] ME
    It's possible that the Shichishito
    wasn't the murder weapon.
[18:15] Fran
    Say what?
[18:16] ME
    And if it really wasn't the murder weapon,
[18:20] ME
    then the defendant's fingerprints on it
[18:23] ME
    don't prove that she committed the murder!
[18:29] ME
    It seems the prosecution's claims
    have been blown out.
[18:35] Fran
    You're good.
[18:37] Fran
    I'm amazed you hit upon such a major
    contradiction going off the sword alone.
[18:41] J
    Who would've thought it
    wasn't the murder weapon?
SIGN    Objection!
[18:44] Fran
    Objection!
[18:45] Fran
    Then answer me this, Miles Edgeworth.
[18:48] Fran
    If it wasn't the Shichishito,
[18:50] Fran
    what was the real murder weapon?
[18:53] ME
    We don't know yet.
[18:54] Fran
    Figures.
[18:56] Fran
    And no matter what the murder weapon was,
    the conclusion remains the same.
[18:59] J
    What do you mean?
[19:02] Fran
    After all, this witness clearly saw it.
[19:05] Fran
    The moment Sister Iris stabbed
    and murdered the victim that night.
[19:12] Fran
    Isn't that right, witness?
[19:14] Bi
    Oh, please. I never said anything like that.
[19:18] Bi
    The sword was already in Elise
    when I saw them.
[19:22] Bi
    And Iris was holding it.
[19:25] ME
    You mean to say you didn't see
    the defendant stab the victim?
[19:29] Bi
    Yeah, exactly!
[19:32] Fran
    What?!
[19:34] ME
    However...
[19:36] ME
    Assuming there was a different murder weapon,
[19:38] ME
    where did it go?
[19:40] Fran
    What are you talking about?
[19:41] ME
    The police would've obviously searched
    the area after the incident.
[19:46] Fran
    Naturally. They were very thorough.
[19:49] Fran
    But nothing of the sort
    was found in the vicinity.
[19:53] J
    That is certainly very strange.
[19:56] Fran
    There is one secure hiding place.
[20:00] ME
    What?
[20:01] Fran
    Just one place where it would never be found.
[20:03] J
    Where is that?
[20:05] Fran
    Eagle River.
[20:06] ME
    The river?
[20:07] Fran
    There was a snowmobile by
    the Hazakura Temple's main gate.
[20:11] Fran
    One could've taken it to the bridge and
    thrown the murder weapon into the river.
[20:15] Fran
    Given the current, it would never be found.
[20:18] Bi
    Th-The snowmobile?
[20:20] ME
    This is baseless conjecture.
[20:23] Fran
    No, I have proof.
[20:25] ME
    No way!
[20:26] Fran
    There were snowmobile tracks from
    Hazakura Temple to Dusky Bridge that night.
[20:33] Fran
    It makes sense if you assume the killer went
    to dump the murder weapon in the river.
[20:38] Fran
    Witness!
[20:39] Fran
    Who could have used
    the snowmobile that night?
[20:41] Bi
    I-It would have to have been Iris...
[20:44] ME
    Wh-What?!
[20:46] Bi
    There is only one key, and she had it.
[20:49] Bi
    Did you take it, Iris?
[20:53] ME
    Iris.
[20:55] ME
    I'm sorry.
[20:57] ME
    I cannot answer that.
[21:00] J
    Order! Order in the court!
[21:03] Fran
    It's really game over this time,
     Miles Edgeworth.
[21:07] ME
    Why won't you answer, Iris?!
[21:10] Fran
    Your Honor, her silence is
    practically a confession!
[21:13] Fran
    I demand that you hand down
    the verdict right now.
[21:16] J
    You're right.
[21:17] J
    I don't see any need to continue this trial.

    I can't bear to watch, Edgeworth.
[21:33] ME
    Larry!
[21:34] LB
    I'm not Larry. I'm Laurice Deauxnim!
[21:38] Fran
    Deauxnim?
[21:39] LB
    I saw what happened that night.

    For Iris's sake, I'll tell you everything!
