SIGN    Witness Testimony SIGN    Berry Big Circus [02:35] DG     The murder took place late     at night, on December 6th. [02:38] DG     It snowed all day right up to     the moment of the murder, [02:40] DG     making it extremely cold out. [02:42] DG     The troupe's group rehearsal in     the big top ended at 10 PM. [02:45] DG     The victim, Ringmaster Russell Berry,     returned to his office, [02:49] DG     and then headed out to the scene of the crime. [02:52] ---     And at 10:15 PM, he was found dead,     bent over a big wooden box. [02:57] ---     Cause of death was blunt force trauma     that shattered a vertebra in his neck. [03:01] ---     The victim's footprints were     found at the crime scene, [03:03] ---     along with a hat which likely     belongs to the murderer. [03:07] J     What was the murder weapon? [03:10] DG     We believe it was a flat, heavy object. [03:13] F     The police are searching for it as we speak. [03:15] J     Strange that the murderer's footprints     weren't at the crime scene... [03:19] J     Also, what was this wooden box? [03:22] DG     A heavy box, weighing about ten kilos. [03:24] DG     Inside was a bottle of pepper. [03:31] PW     Pepper? [03:32] PW     Why pepper? [03:33] DG     The reason is, well, unclear. [03:36] M     Why was such a tiny bottle of pepper     in that huge wooden box? [03:42] F     Now, show in the next witness, [03:44] F     the pitiful clown that saw the entire thing.

SIGN    Witness Testimony [04:45] Moe     That night, after the rehearsal ended, [04:47] Moe     I went straight back to my room. SIGN    Testimony [04:50] Moe     I was pooped, so I hit the sack. [04:52] Moe     Then I heard a loud noise from outside... [04:58] Moe     It was Max. [05:01] M     No way. [05:02] Moe     And as I watched, shocked, [05:04] Moe     he flew off and vanished into the dark. [05:06] J     The killer flew? [05:09] PW     Th-Through the sky? [05:12] C     So, it was Max?

[05:29] M     So this is what Trilo meant yesterday... [05:32] PW     Yeah. [05:33] F     Max Galactica prides himself on     being a master of flight magic. [05:37] F     No one but the defendant could     have carried out this murder. [05:40] J     It would also explain the lack of footprints. SIGN    Hold It a Darn Sec!

[06:05] F     This witness saw the defendant flying     from the crime scene that night. [06:11] F     That is an undeniable fact. [06:13] PW     But the crime scene wasn't     set up for magic tricks. [06:17] PW     How could he possibly have flown from there? [06:20] F     Didn't he just confess to that? [06:22] F     He was swinging on "hella thin wires." [06:24] PW     Please... You make it sound so easy. [06:28] J     Prosecutor von Karma, [06:29] J     can you reveal the secret behind the magic     the defendant used that night? [06:35] F     No, not yet. [06:37] J     Then that's all for today's trial. [06:40] J     The prosecution is to solve [06:42] J     the mystery behind this     remarkable case by tomorrow. [06:47] F     Fine. [06:48] J     A murderer flying off is unheard of. [06:52] F     Thank your lucky stars, Mr. Phoenix Wright. [06:55] F     It appears your crushing defeat     has been postponed a day.

[07:07] M     But if Moe is telling the truth, [07:10] M     the killer really did fly away. [07:12] PW     Come to think of it, [07:13] PW     while you were with the ringmaster,     where was your costume? [07:18] Max     Oh, I took it off in his room, [07:20] Max     and hung it by the door. [07:23] Max     Right! [07:24] Max     When the ringmaster left that night, I said, [07:27] Max     "Why don't you wear my costume?" [07:30] Max     It was cold out that night. [07:32] PW     So the person Moe saw was     the ringmaster in your costume? [07:37] M     Ah! [07:37] M     Then maybe it was him who     flew away from the scene! [07:41] PW     Uh, the ringmaster got clonked and died. [07:45] Max     And anyway, [07:46] Max     if that clown really saw me fly away, [07:49] Max     why was my silk hat found there? [07:52] PW     The plot thickens... [07:58] G     The police just called. [07:59] G     Apparently, they're coming     with a search warrant! [08:02] M     Prosecutor von Karma already     made her move, huh? [08:05] PW     But isn't it pointless if you     inform them in advance? [08:10] PW     According to Moe's testimony, [08:13] PW     the killer flew off from here. [08:17] M     I don't think you could stage a magic     trick here, even if you wanted to. [08:22] PW     That room... [08:23] PW     It's the Money the Monkey's. [08:25] M     Wasn't the person living there out yesterday? [08:28] PW     Shall we go check it out? [08:30] PW     Excuse me.

[12:48] Moe     The ringmaster has never fought with anyone, [12:51] Moe     and he was really kind. [12:52] Moe     Oh, but on the morning of the murder, [12:54] Moe     his face did go beet-red with anger. [12:57] Moe     I'd never seen him make a face like that. [13:00] M     He was mad? [13:02] Moe     It was after he pulled out a note posted here. [13:04] Moe     What that was all about? [13:07] Moe     At the time, there were more pressing matters, [13:09] Moe     what with Max and Trilo fighting. [13:13] M     I wonder what that note was about. [13:15] PW     Let's look into it.

[14:30] M     Exactly what happened at this circus? [14:35] Moe     Six months ago, during a joint rehearsal, [14:39] Moe     a tragic accident occurred. [14:42] Moe     The victim was Bat, of the Acrobat Brothers. [14:46] PW     Acro's little brother? [14:48] Moe     Bat was in love with Regina, you see. [14:51] Moe     He asked her to see a movie with him     if he could pull off her trick. [14:56] M     An animal-tamer trick, you mean? [14:59] Moe     Yeah. [15:00] Moe     Back then, Leon the lion     was our star attraction. [15:03] Reg     Can you really do it? [15:05] Bat     I just have to put my head inside, right? [15:07] Bat     Just you watch. [15:10] Bat     Okay. [15:10] Bat     Good boy. [15:13] Reg     Wow! [15:19] Moe     I won't forget that face     for the rest of my life. [15:23] Moe     Acro went at the lion,     trying to save Bat, [15:27] Moe     but his legs were badly injured. [15:30] Moe     Then the ringmaster shot Leon with a rifle. [15:35] PW     What happened to Bat? [15:38] Moe     He survived. [15:39] Moe     But he's still in a coma. [15:43] Moe     Yesterday, Acro was away,     visiting him in the hospital. [15:47] Moe     With Bat gone, [15:49] Moe     and now the ringmaster, [15:51] Moe     Acro cried his eyes out. [15:52] Moe     He thought of the ringmaster     as his own father. [15:57] M     I saw this scarf in Acro's room. [16:00] Moe     Regina gave it to Bat as a present that day. [16:03] Moe     He was so happy about it. [16:07] Moe     I still see it in my dreams. [16:09] Moe     That sight is burned into my eyes. [16:11] Moe     At that moment, Leon smiled. [16:21] Reg     Oh, Regent... [16:22] Reg     You've taken a liking to the lawyer? [16:22] M     Nick isn't tasty! Don't eat him! [16:27] Reg     Huh? [16:28] Reg     Why is this here? [16:31] M     Regina, you know about that note? [16:34] Reg     Yeah. [16:34] Reg     After all, I was the one who put     it on the bulletin board. [16:40] Moe     R-Regina, don't tell me you wrote that... [16:43] Reg     Of course not. [16:44] Reg     It was in my pocket for some reason, [16:47] Reg     and I figured its owner     would be looking for it. [16:50] Moe     Pocket? [16:50] PW     When was that? [16:52] Reg     Er... [16:54] Reg     Remember how Max and Trilo got into a fight? [16:56] Reg     That same day, I took Acro's     breakfast to his room, [16:59] Reg     and I think I found it on the way back. [17:02] Moe     The morning of the murder, huh? [17:04] PW     Acro? [17:06] Reg     Yeah. [17:07] Reg     Taking Acro's food to him is my job. [17:11] Reg     He can't use the stairs, you know.
