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!

[17:41] 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!

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!
[20:34] Moe
As long as we have you,
[20:36] Moe
we'll conquer it, no matter where we go!
[20:37] Moe
No...
[20:38] Moe
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
Then we'll be waiting,
[21:38] DG

Will Powers invites us to a hero show,
[23:24] PW
but at the venue, an incident occurs.

Yet again, an actor playing the Steel
Samurai is accused of murder.

It's something that only I,
a defense attorney, can do.
