    The very big star at the Berry Big Circus.

    Right.
[04:30] Max
    I'm paid fabulous sums.

    So?

    Ah, Jesus!
[04:48] M
    Doesn't look that way.
[04:50] PW
    Anyway, tell us what happened last night.
[04:55] Max
    The ringmaster was murdered.
[04:57] Max
    It was after a group rehearsal.
[05:00] ---
    Around 10:30 PM.
[05:02] ---
    The police presence was gorgeous.
[05:05] ---
    Just so you know, it wasn't me, honey.
[05:10] M
    Yeah! It wasn't you, right?
[05:13] PW
    But why were you arrested?
[05:15] Max
    Who can say?
[05:16] Max
    Probably because I was the last to
    see him before he was murdered.
[05:20] PW
    Is that so?
[05:21] Max
    Well, we were having a chat about my salary.
[05:28] Max
    I'm the one drawing
    all the crowds to the circus.
[05:30] Max
    I figured I should be compensated likewise...
[05:33] Max
    But he left before we were done.
[05:38] RB
    Sorry, Max. Do you mind waiting for me here?
[05:42] Max
    Heading out this late?
[05:46] RB
    I'll be right back.
[05:48] Max
    And he left, never to return...
[05:52] PW
    I wonder what the ringmaster had to do.
[05:55] Max
    Beats me.
[05:56] Max
    Anyway, you're an attorney?

    Get me out of here already!

    No, we're the ones who should be sorry.

    I'm perfectly all right!
[08:18] Reg
    I mean, my daddy became a star in the sky!

    A star?
[08:22] Reg
    He taught me that everyone becomes

    Could you tell us about the case?
[09:02] DG
    Sheesh, are you the only
    attorney in the world?!
[09:07] PW
    I could say the same about you and detectives.
[09:10] DG
    It was last night, around 10:00 PM.
[09:12] DG
    In this courtyard, facing the lodging house.
[09:15] DG
    The victim was killed on the spot
    by a blow to the noggin...
[09:19] PW
    What's this wooden box?
[09:21] DG
    We're trying to find that out now.
[09:22] DG
    It was really heavy, and it was locked.
[09:25] DG
    Also, we found this at the crime scene...
[09:30] M
    That's Max's hat!
[09:33] DG
    Indeed! A one-of-a-kind magician's silk hat!
[09:37] DG
    Finding it lying here settled the case.
[09:41] M
    Don't jump to conclusions!
[09:43] DG
    Of course, that's not all.

    This photograph only shows
    the victim's footprints!
[09:50] M
    It's true. Then how did the culprit...
[09:54] PW
    He murdered the victim without
    leaving footprints behind.
[10:00] DG
    Only one man in this world
    is capable of such a feat...

    Yes, it's Max Galactica, the great magician!

    Huh? The magician did it, obviously.
[10:33] G
    Acting like he owned the place...
[10:35] G
    It's gotta be Max.
[10:37] G
    He ridiculed my act, calling it dated.
[10:40] G
    What a jerk!
[10:42] K
    Max did it.
[10:44] K
    Why do I think that?
    Because he broke all my plates.

    Everyone here hates Max, huh?
[10:53] PW

    given his condescending attitude.

[11:58] Moe
    The ringmaster and I
    started this circus together.
[12:01] Moe
    He was a reliable man,

    and everyone loved him.
[12:06] Moe
    How did things come to this?
[12:10] Moe
    Damn that Max!

    I swear I'll make him pay!
[12:13] M
    But we don't know for sure that he did it—
[12:16] Moe
    Nope! It was definitely him!
[12:18] Moe
    Yesterday, he even smacked Ben
    in the head with an empty bottle.
[12:22] M
    The ventriloquist?
[12:24] PW
    Come to think of it, he did say his head hurt.
[12:28] Moe
    And he said that I was "amusing, in a way."
[12:33] Moe
    What do you mean, "in a way"?
[12:35] Moe
    Quit Messi-ing around!
[12:37] M
    Messi-ing around...
[12:39] Moe
    Anyway, everyone hates him!
[12:42] Moe
    There's no doubt he did it!
[12:45] M
    I don't even feel like
    questioning people anymore.
[12:47] PW
    I've had my fill of people
     backbiting Max, too.

    Shall we look at the ringmaster's room?

    On the night of the murder,

    Damn that monkey. The next time
    I see him will be his last.
[19:47] Tri
    Oh, yeah.
[19:48] Tri
    You said you were defending Max?
[19:50] M
    Yes, that's right.
[19:52] Tri
    I'll let you in on something good.
[19:54] Tri
    He definitely did it!
[19:57] Tri
    We saw him heading to the crime scene!
[20:03] Tri
    It was after last night's rehearsal.
[20:04] Tri
    I was waiting for Regina by that
    entrance the whole time.
[20:08] Tri
    That's when he walked past.
[20:12] Tri
    And Max was the only one I saw.
[20:15] Tri
    Right?
[20:16] Ben
    M-Maybe? I don't...
[20:18] Tri
    Be clear, dude!
[20:21] M
    No way. Max...
[20:24] Tri
    Like they say, there's no doubt about it.
[20:27] PW
    But your story has a contradiction.
[20:30] Tri
    C-Contradiction?
[20:32] PW
    If you were there last night,
    watching the entire time,
[20:35] PW
    you should have seen one more person pass.
[20:38] Tri
    Wh-Who?
[20:40] PW
    The ringmaster.
[20:42] PW
    To reach the crime scene, the victim
    would have passed by, too.
[20:46] PW
    And there's no doubt about that.
[20:49] M
    I see!
[20:50] PW
    You probably looked away
    when Money stole that ring.
[20:56] PW
    In other words, there's a chance that someone
[20:59] PW
    other than Max went to the crime scene.
[21:02] PW
    The possibility definitely exists!
[21:06] PW
    Your eyewitness account alone
    isn't enough to declare Max guilty!
[21:14] Tri
    Damn it!
[21:17] PW
    Well, thank you for your valuable testimony.
[21:21] Tri
    Wait.
[21:23] Tri
    Don't think you've won yet.
[21:26] Tri
    After all, there's an eyewitness
    who saw something crazier!
[21:32] Tri
    I can't wait for tomorrow's trial.
[21:36] M
    Nick,
[21:38] M
    what could that crazy something be?
[21:40] PW
    No clue.
[21:41] PW
    But I'm going to believe in the great
    magician, Max Galactica!
