[00:01] [SONG] Sign
    To the murderer:
    
    You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you?
    
    I have conclusive evidence here with me.
    
    Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house,
    tonight, at 10 PM.
[00:02] PW
    Acro, the wheelchair-bound acrobat.
[00:05] PW
    After an accident six months ago,
    his brother, Bat,
[00:07] PW
    has yet to regain consciousness.
[00:09] PW
    What was the killer's true motive?
[00:11] PW
    The courtroom illusion
    that will reveal everything
[00:13] PW
    begins now!

    Your bluffing ends here, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
[01:51] F
    Just look at this witness.
SIGN    Turnabout Big Top — Last Trial
[01:52] F
    He could not descend the stairs,
[01:54] F
    let alone leave the lodging house.
[01:56] F
    He could not have committed this murder.
[01:58] J
    Yes, indeed.
[02:00] A
    I'm no magician.
[02:03] A
    Will you say I had an accomplice?
[02:06] PW
    No.
[02:07] PW
    You committed this murder all by yourself—
[02:11] F
    Of all the foolish foolishness!
[02:12] F
    In that case, can you prove it?
[02:16] F
    Tell us precisely how the witness
    performed this killing?
[02:20] PW
    Yes, of course.
[02:23] A
    Looks like you're serious
    about this, Mr. Lawyer.
[02:27] PW
    Everyone here will now learn
    exactly how you did it.
[02:31] PW
    But they won't be hearing it from me.
[02:34] J
    What?
[02:39] PW
    That night, the ringmaster
    headed to the plaza
[02:42] PW
    after being summoned by a note.
[02:44] PW
    A large, wooden box waited for him there.
[02:47] PW
    What he wanted was the item inside the box.
[02:52] PW
    But the box was locked,
    and he couldn't open it.
[02:57] PW
    With no choice, the ringmaster tried
    to take the box itself with him.
[03:01] PW
    In order to lift the heavy box,
[03:03] PW
    he had to squat, like so.
[03:05] PW
    At that moment...
[03:07] PW
    A deadly weapon came
    crashing down toward his head.
SIGN    Hardtack
[03:13] F
    Huh?
[03:14] J
    Whoa!
[03:15] F
    Max Galactica?
[03:18] PW
    Exactly.
[03:19] PW
    What fell on the ringmaster's head was
[03:21] PW
    the defendant's prize, won at
    the Magician's Grand Prix,
[03:25] PW
    a life-sized bust of himself!
[03:30] PW
    And this is where the miraculous
    magic trick begins!
[03:34] PW
    Take a slow-motion look at
    the moment of miracle!
[03:44] M
    Whoa! It's Max!
[03:45] M
    Maximillion Flightica!
[03:53] PW
    This is the whole truth behind what
    happened at the plaza that night.
[03:57] PW
    And the only one who could've done this
[04:00] PW
    was the man in the room directly
    above the crime scene,
[04:03] PW
    Acro!
[04:07] J
    What in the world?
[04:12] F
    Hold it a second, Mr. Phoenix Wright!
[04:15] F
    Are you seriously suggesting that happened?
SIGN    Hardtack
[04:18] F
    How could he operate a wheelchair
    while carrying a heavy bust?
[04:22] PW
    He had no need to.
[04:25] PW
    All Acro had to do was to
    drop it from the window.
[04:28] F
    B-But...
[04:30] F
    How could he drop it so accurately
    on the victim's head?
[04:33] F
    There is no way—
[04:34] PW
    That's where the wooden box came in.
[04:37] PW
    If he dropped the bust at the moment
    the victim tried to lift the box,
[04:41] PW
    he couldn't have missed!
[04:43] F
    And how did he transport the box to the scene?
[04:46] PW
    Simple.
[04:47] PW
    He tied it to a rope and lowered it
    from the window.
[04:51] F
    Then what about the bust?
[04:52] F
    He cannot climb a flight of stairs unassisted.
[04:54] F
    How did he take it to his room?
[04:56] PW
    It was probably...
[04:59] F
    A... A monkey?
[05:00] PW
    Yes.
[05:01] PW
    This is Money the Monkey,
     and he lives in Acro's room.
[05:04] PW
    He loves shiny things, and he's in
    the habit of taking them home.
[05:09] PW
    Maybe Acro devised this plan after
[05:12] PW
    seeing the bust Money happened to bring in.
[05:16] PW
    All of this proves that
[05:17] PW
    Acro could have committed this murder!
[05:20] F
    Ridiculous!
[05:21] J
    Order!
[05:23] J
    The defense's claims are truly extraordinary.
[05:26] J
    However, they do make sense.
[05:28] F
    Do not be fooled!
[05:30] F
    Have you forgotten the clown's testimony?
[05:33] F
    He saw the defendant fly away
    from the crime scene.
[05:36] PW
    Everything was as you just saw.
[05:38] PW
    What Moe witnessed was...
[05:40] M
    Max's bust, with his cape stuck to it!
[05:49] Moe
    If you think this is all we've got,
    you're living in de Nile.
[05:52] M
    De Nile!
[05:54] Moe
    Gorgeous!
[06:00] Trilo
    Gorgeous!
[06:05] Moe
    I can fly, I can fly, I can fly...
[06:10] F
    Curse you, Mr. Phoenix Wright...
[06:12] F
    How could you, of all people,
    see through the magic trick?
[06:16] PW
    I wasn't the one who saw through it.
[06:18] PW
    I had help from an expert in the field.
[06:21] Max
    Recreate the magic trick?
[06:23] Max
    Are you kidding me?
[06:24] PW
    No. Please.
[06:26] Max
    There's no way they'd cooperate.
[06:30] PW
    Max,
[06:31] PW
    I believe everyone in Berry Big Circus
    must get through this together.
[06:36] Max
    Everyone in the circus...
[06:38] PW
    Max took the clues found so far
    and unraveled the magic.
[06:43] PW
    In other words, the trick behind this case.
[06:45] PW
    And with the circus people's help,
[06:48] ---
    We're back
[06:48] PW
    we recreated it in this courtroom.
[06:51] F
    Why?
[06:52] F
    Didn't you two testify against the defendant?
[06:55] PW
    Yes, they all initially suspected Max.
SIGN    Berry Big Circus
[07:00] Moe
    Us? Help Max?
[07:02] Trilo
    Why would we?
[07:05] PW
    These are the documents from his salary
    negotiation with the ringmaster.
[07:10] PW
    He asked for the raise to be
    distributed evenly among everyone.
[07:15] Moe
    What?
[07:16] PW
    He must have thought a raise would
    give you all some motivation.
[07:21] PW
    I believe it's proof that, in his own way,
    he cares about this circus.
[07:27] PW
    The desire to learn the truth
[07:29] PW
    brought them all together!
[07:31] Max
    Gorgeous.
[07:33] PW
    What do you say, Acro?
[07:35] A
    That's Max for you.
[07:37] A
    That was a very amusing circus you put on.
[07:40] A
    But that's all it was.
[07:43] F
    You're too naïve, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
[07:46] F
    You have yet to prove
    one very important thing.
[07:49] A
    Why would I want to take
    the ringmaster's life?
[07:54] PW
    That's...
[07:55] F
    Exactly. The motive.
[07:57] F
    The victim was like a father to this witness.
[08:00] F
    He was greatly indebted to him.
[08:02] F
    Why would he ever kill him?
[08:04] J
    Do you have anything to say, defense?
[08:11] F
    Do you not know how to see things through,
    Mr. Phoenix Wright?
[08:15] PW
    Do I really have to tell the court about it?
[08:20] Moe
    Bro, don't worry about it.
[08:22] Moe
    Show her.
[08:24] Moe
    Show her the truth behind this incident.
[08:27] M
    Nick...
[08:33] PW
    Acro,
[08:34] PW
    do you recognize this note?
[08:36] PW
    It was found in the ringmaster's room.
[08:39] A
    The ringmaster's?
[08:40] PW
    "To the murderer:
[08:42] PW
    You haven't forgotten about
    six months ago, have you?
[08:45] PW
    I have conclusive evidence here with me.
[08:48] PW
    Come to the plaza in front of the
    lodging house, tonight, at 10 PM."
[08:51] F
    Wh-What is this?
[08:53] PW
    Apparently, the morning of the murder,
[08:55] PW
    this was posted on the bulletin board
    at the circus cafeteria.
[08:57] PW
    The victim went to the scene,
    as specified by this note...
[09:01] F
    And was murdered?
[09:02] [SONG] ---
    To the murderer:
    
    You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you?
    
    I have conclusive evidence here with me.
    
    Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house,
    tonight, at 10 PM.
[09:02] PW
    The incident six months ago
    that the note mentions
[09:05] PW
    is the final key to unlocking this mystery.
[09:12] ---
    Order!
[09:14] Reg
    That was fun, Moe.
[09:16] Reg
    But what does he mean about
    the incident from six months ago?
[09:20] Moe
    Regina, listen carefully to what he says.
[09:22] Moe
    It's very important.
[09:24] Reg
    O-Okay.
[09:26] J
    Defense, what happened at
    the Berry Big Circus six months ago?
[09:31] PW
    Acro's little brother, Bat,
    a.k.a. Sean Dingling,
[09:35] PW
    was attacked by the circus lion
    in a horrifying incident.
[09:39] J
    B-By a lion?
[09:41] PW
    Bat survived, but he remains in a coma.
[09:45] F
    The prosecution is fully aware
    of the incident.
[09:48] F
    An unfortunate accident, yes?
[09:52] PW
    That wasn't just an accident.
[09:54] F
    Wh-What?
[09:56] PW
    This is the scarf presented to Bat
    by Regina the animal tamer.
[10:01] PW
    Apparently, he'd worn it around
    his neck that day.
[10:04] PW
    He opened the lion's mouth and tried
    to perform one of her tricks.
[10:10] PW
    That's when a terrible tragedy occurred.
[10:15] F
    That lion had been thoroughly trained,
[10:17] F
    and its attack on a person was unthinkable.
[10:20] F
    Then why did it...
[10:22] PW
    I hear the lion smiled
    just before it bit down.
[10:26] ---
    Eh?
[10:27] J
    S-Smiled? Do lions smile?
[10:31] F
    I have never heard of it!
[10:33] PW
    Upon testing the scarf Bat wore that day,
[10:36] PW
    we found traces of something on it.
[10:38] J
    And that was?
[10:40] PW
    Pepper.
[10:41] F
    Pepper?
[10:43] F
    Don't tell me...
[10:44] PW
    The lion didn't smile.
[10:47] PW
    Isn't that right, Acro?
[10:50] PW
    Yes. At that moment, the lion simply sneezed,
[10:54] PW
    due to the pepper all over the scarf.
[10:57] J
    Pepper?
[10:58] J
    Like the pepper in the wooden box?
[11:01] PW
    Precisely.
[11:01] PW
    The "conclusive evidence" the note
    mentioned was the pepper.
[11:05] J
    Oh, dear.
[11:07] PW
    These are the results of the tests
    performed on the scarf.
[11:09] J
    The court accepts them as evidence.
[11:11] F
    "Sneezed due to the pepper"?
[11:13] F
    What kind of foolish joke is this,
    Mr. Phoenix Wright?!
[11:16] PW
    Unfortunately, it's the truth.
[11:19] PW
    And once Acro learned this,
[11:22] PW
    he plotted revenge...
[11:25] PW
    Against the person who'd given
    the scarf to his brother.
[11:29] Reg
    M-Me?
[11:30] J
    So the real target was...
[11:34] PW
    Yes.
[11:34] PW
    Not the ringmaster, but his daughter.
[11:37] PW
    Regina the animal tamer!
[11:43] PW
    When she brought your breakfast,
    you slipped the note into her pocket.
[11:47] PW
    However, she had no idea what it meant,
[11:51] PW
    so she put it up on the cafeteria board.
[11:52] [SONG] Sign
    To the murderer:
    
    You haven't forgotten about six months ago, have you?
    
    I have conclusive evidence here with me.
    
    Come to the plaza in front of the lodging house,
    tonight, at 10 PM.
[11:54] F
    And Ringmaster Berry found it?
[11:57] PW
    He probably knew the truth of the incident.
[12:00] PW
    And so, in order to protect his daughter,
[12:04] PW
    he went to the scene himself.
[12:06] Reg
    P-Papa went in my place?
[12:10] PW
    Acro can't leave his wheelchair.
[12:12] PW
    That's why he didn't realize the person
    below his window wasn't Regina.
[12:17] PW
    He proceeded as planned and killed them.
[12:20] F
    Wh-What in a foolish fool's name?
[12:22] PW
    Acro, you thought you were
    taking revenge on Regina.
[12:26] PW
    But you ended up killing Ringmaster Berry,
    the one to whom you owed your life!
[12:30] J
    What do you say, witness?
[12:34] A
    Do you have proof?
[12:36] PW
    Acro?
[12:38] A
    Do you have proof I dropped
    the bust on him that night?
[12:43] F
    Yesterday, the police thoroughly
    searched the Berry Big Circus.
[12:47] F
    But they did not find a bust of
    Max Galactica in this witness's room.
[12:52] PW
    Wh-What?
[12:54] J
    In that case, where is the bust?
[12:59] F
    We listed everything we found at the circus!
[13:03] F
    But there was no bust anywhere!
[13:06] PW
    Anywhere?
[13:07] A
    Then, you don't have proof linking me
    to your murder weapon?
[13:13] A
    I'm sorry, Mr. Lawyer,
[13:15] A
    but I can't be arrested.
[13:18] Moe
    Don't fight it anymore, Acro!
[13:20] Moe
    Tell the truth!
[13:23] Moe
    Acro...
[13:25] J
    Order!
[13:27] J
    I have to disallow the defense's claims
    due to lack of evidence.
[13:31] J
    Prosecutor von Karma...
[13:33] F
    Then, the cross-examination of this
    witness is hereby complete.
[13:37] PW
    Damn it. Is this it?
SIGN    Objection!
[13:39] M
    Objection!
[13:41] M
    Don't give up, Nick!
[13:43] M
    Remember the message Gumshoe gave you!
[13:46] PW
    Detective Gumshoe?
[13:49] DG
    Also, I have a message for you.
[13:51] DG
    "The verdict will surely be decided
    at the last second."
[13:54] PW
    The last second?
[13:55] PW
    That would be now!
[13:57] M
    Don't acrobats live their lives on the edge?
[13:59] M
    And that's how Acro has
    lived his life up till now.
[14:02] M
    But you have crossed ropes
    just as tight, Nick!
[14:06] PW
    Maya?
[14:08] M
    Now, let's walk across
    the tightest rope we've crossed!
[14:12] PW
    Got it, Maya.
[14:14] PW
    Your Honor!
[14:15] PW
    The defense will show you exactly
    where the murder weapon is!
[14:19] J
    Huh?
[14:21] A
    Impossible... There's no way.
[14:23] F
    The foolish ramblings of a foolish fool.
[14:25] F
    Then answer right this very instant!
[14:26] F
    Where is the bust?!
[14:28] PW
    "The verdict will be decided
    at the last second."
[14:31] PW
    In other words, the bust's location will
    become clear now, at this very moment.
[14:35] PW
    On the investigation's first day,
    it was in Acro's room.
[14:39] PW
    But by the second day, it was gone.
[14:41] PW
    That's right.
[14:42] PW
    There was a thorough search yesterday.
[14:44] PW
    Acro was forced to hide it
[14:47] PW
    before the police searched his room!
[14:50] PW
    So that's how it is.
[14:52] PW
    I have a request, Acro.
[14:54] A
    What is it?
[14:56] PW
    Please lift the blanket on your wheelchair.
[15:00] A
    What is the meaning of this?
[15:02] PW
    Yesterday, the police couldn't
    find the bust anywhere.
[15:06] PW
    That would imply it was taken from the circus.
[15:09] F
    Ridiculous!
[15:10] F
    All we did was search.
[15:12] F
    We removed nothing!
[15:13] PW
    You're mistaken.
[15:14] PW
    Something was taken from the circus.
[15:18] PW
    And that was you, Acro.
[15:22] PW
    Back then, you'd already hidden the bust
    where it wouldn't be found.
[15:27] F
    I-Impossible!
[15:30] PW
    Meaning that you should still be hiding it.
[15:33] PW
    Right here, at this very moment!
[15:36] PW
    Beneath the blanket on your wheelchair!
[15:51] A
    Brilliantly done.
[15:52] J
    What?
[15:54] F
    How could this be?
[15:55] M
    No way.
[15:57] A
    No room for excuses when the murder weapon
    is found on you in court, huh?
[16:02] A
    Your Honor, I am the one
    who killed the ringmaster.
[16:05] A
    Everything is as Mr. Wright said.
[16:09] A
    Thinking back,
[16:10] A
    my fate was sealed the moment
    that search was carried out.
[16:15] A
    You got me.
[16:18] A
    Prosecutor, had you already seen
    through everything yesterday?
[16:21] F
    Huh? I... I...
[16:23] DG
    Yes, pal!
[16:24] F
    That Scruffy McTrenchcoat!
[16:25] A
    As Mr. Wright said,
[16:27] A
    I tried to exact revenge on Regina
    for taking my brother from me.
[16:32] A
    One day, he sprinkled some pepper on her.
[16:35] A
    Her sneezing fit made everyone
    burst into laughter.
[16:38] A
    It was a harmless prank.
[16:41] A
    He loved her.
[16:44] A
    And she didn't want anything bad to happen.
[16:46] A
    She just wanted to make
    my brother sneeze, too.
[16:50] A
    I knew that.
[16:51] A
    But she didn't realize what she'd done...
[16:57] Reg
    Hey, if Bat also becomes a star,
[17:00] Reg
    will he smile down on us from in the sky?
[17:05] A
    I couldn't stand her innocent laughter,
    no matter how hard I tried!
[17:10] A
    That's why I...
[17:12] M
    Acro...
[17:14] A
    I didn't want to be caught.
[17:15] A
    I thought I couldn't just up and leave.
[17:19] A
    But this is for the best.
[17:22] PW
    In a way, you were also a victim.
[17:25] A
    No.
[17:26] A
    I am
[17:28] A
    only a murderer.
[17:31] J
    Bailiff, apprehend this man and take him in.
SIGN    Wait!
[17:37] Reg
    Wait!
[17:40] A
    Regina?
[17:41] ReG
    I haven't apologized to Acro yet!
[17:44] M
    Regina...
[17:46] A
    Regina...
[17:47] Reg
    I'm sorry, Acro.
[17:49] Reg
    Bat, Papa, and Leon all went
    away because of me.
[17:55] Reg
    Not Acro!
[17:56] Reg
    It's all... It's all my fault.
[17:58] Reg
    If you must arrest someone, arrest me!
[18:01] Reg
    Please!
[18:05] A
    You're wrong.
[18:06] A
    I'm the one who committed murder.
[18:09] Reg
    Acro...
[18:11] Moe
    Regina, do you understand why Acro
    tried to get away with murder?
[18:15] Moe
    He absolutely couldn't disappear!
[18:19] Reg
    Bat?
[18:20] Moe
    That's right!
[18:21] Moe
    Bat is still in a coma!
[18:23] Moe
    Acro wanted to be by his side
    when he wakes up someday!
[18:28] Moe
    That's why he committed another grave sin.
[18:31] Moe
    That's how important people's lives are!
[18:35] Reg
    From now on, I'll always be at his side.
[18:37] Reg
    Until you come back, until Bat wakes up,
[18:40] Reg
    I'll stay by his side the whole time!

    Here, we go.
[19:50] M
    Huh? What?
[19:52] Max
    Gorgeous!
[19:53] Max
    I heard all about it.
[19:55] Moe
    Th-This voice...
[19:59] Max
    There's one thing the world's best
    circus cannot do without.
[20:02] Max
    Right, my sweeties?
[20:04] Max
    Indeed, the world's best magician!
[20:07] All
    Max!
[20:09] Moe
    Why?
[20:10] Moe
    Didn't you get sick of us and leave?
[20:15] Max
    Gorgeous.
[20:16] Max
    It's a different story if this circus
    is aiming to be the world's best.
[20:20] Max
    Of course...
[20:22] Max
    That's only if, uh,
[20:24] Max
    you will all forgive me.
[20:27] Moe
    Max...
[20:28] Max
    What do you say, Ringmaster?
[20:33] Moe
    Thank you!

    As long as we have you,
[20:36] Moe
    we'll conquer it, no matter where we go!
[20:37] Moe
    No...

    We'll conjure it, no matter where we go!
[20:42] C
    Give us the best circus in the world!
[20:44] C
    Do your best!
[20:49] Moe
    They actually thought I was funny?
[20:51] Max
    That was a pretty good one just now.
[20:53] Moe
    All right, let's show Ringmaster Berry
    the world's best circus someday!
[20:57] All
    Yeah!
[21:01] M
    You knew about this, Nick?
[21:05] Bo
    Gorgeous!
[21:13] ME
    Then, the clincher was indeed...
[21:15] DG
    The search you ordered really did the trick.
[21:18] DG
    Had you already hit upon the truth back then?
[21:22] ME
    No.
[21:23] ME
    I only thought if he were with
    the defense, he would find it.
[21:26] DG
    Phoenix Wright?
[21:28] ME
    It is time.
[21:30] ME
    I shall talk to the Chief Prosecutor and
    ensure that Acro isn't treated badly.
[21:35] DG
    Sir!
[21:36] DG
