[00:00] PW
    At Hazakura Temple,
    a mountain training retreat,
[00:03] PW
    picture book author Elise Deauxnim
    was murdered.
[00:06] PW
    The first day of the trial ended with
    big questions yet to be answered.
[00:11] PW
    There were shocking facts
    everywhere in the incident.
[00:14] PW
    The real crime scene was the Inner Temple,
    not the main Hazakura Temple.
[00:19] PW
    The victim, Elise, was Misty Fey,
    Maya's missing mother.
[00:25] PW
    Iris's twin sister
    was executed last month.
[00:28] PW
    It was Dahlia Hawthorne, of all people.
[00:32] PW
    And then I hit upon the terrifying truth.
[00:35] PW
    All of this was carried out with the help
    of a blissfully ignorant Pearls,
[00:39] PW
    and it was all part of
    a grand plot by Morgan Fey.
[00:42] PW
    Her objective was to wipe out
    the main bloodline of the Kurain school.
[00:47] PW
    We still don't know if Maya is okay.
[00:50] PW
    Please be all right!

    Uh...
[03:45] PW
    Why are you here?
[03:47] J
    My little brother fainted with a
    scorching fever, so I'm standing in for him.
[03:51] PW
    They were brothers?
[03:53] J
    Your opening statement, Prosecutor Godot.
[03:56] God
    People's hearts change with
    the shifting of the tides.
[03:59] God
    In this crazy world,
[04:02] God
    there is only one constant...
[04:04] God
    The bitter darkness that lies
    at the bottom of this mug.
[04:10] PW
    What are you getting at?
[04:12] God
    I'm saying the prosecution's plan has changed.
[04:16] God
    During the last trial,
[04:18] God
    the accused refused to admit
    her role in the crime.
[04:20] God
    But she has had a change of heart.
[04:25] God
    Sister Iris has a confession
    to make, it seems.
[04:29] PW
    "Confession"?
[04:31] PW
    Why didn't you talk to me
    about this, Iris?
[04:36] God
    Upon meeting a pretty lady,
     ask for her name and profession.
[04:39] God
    That's one of my rules.
[04:41] Iris
    My name is Iris.
[04:43] Iris
    I am but a simple nun undergoing
    training at Hazakura Temple.
[04:46] PW
    Iris, what do you need to confess?
[04:49] Iris
    I'm so sorry.
[04:51] Iris
    I can't continue lying to everyone anymore.
[04:54] Iris
    I did play a part in this terrible incident.
[04:58] J
    Are... Are you actually confessing?
[05:00] J
    Are you saying that you were the one
    who murdered Elise Deauxnim?
[05:04] Iris
    No, Your Honor,
     but I dealt with the cover up.
[05:08] PW
    Cover up?
[05:10] Iris
    I took her lifeless shell
    to the Hazakura Temple's courtyard,
[05:14] Iris
    where I desecrated it.
[05:17] J
    That was your doing?
[05:20] Iris
    Yes.
[05:21] Iris
    I did it to cover for her.
[05:23] PW
    Wait a second!
[05:24] PW
    Who do you mean by "her"?
[05:27] Iris
    Even if it meant dirtying my own hands,
     I had to protect her...
[05:32] Iris
    The daughter of the Master of
    the Kurain School of Channeling,
[05:35] Iris
    Mystic Maya Fey.
SIGN    Objection!
[05:37] PW
    Objection!
[05:39] PW
    That's ridiculous! Maya could never...
[05:42] J
    Either way,
[05:43] J
    we must hear the defendant out first.
SIGN    Witness Testimony
[05:50] Iris
    I went to the Inner Temple that night,
[05:53] Iris
    took over for Sister Bikini,
[05:55] Iris
    and assisted Mystic Maya with her training.
[05:58] PW
    But didn't you testify that you never
    went to the Inner Temple that night?
[06:03] Iris
    Well, I was lying to protect her.
[06:09] Iris
    When Maya passed through the garden
    after getting ready for her training,
[06:14] Iris
    Elise suddenly showed up and
    started attacking her with her staff!
[06:19] Iris
    While Maya was still stumbling,
[06:21] Iris
    Elise cast aside her staff and
    brought out a dagger from her robe.
[06:29] Iris
    Maya tried desperately to
    defend herself and stole the weapon.
[06:34] Iris
    It was only in self-defense!
[06:38] Iris
    Elise tried to kill Maya!
[06:42] Iris
    That's why I tried my best
    to protect her!
[06:46] God
    If you moved the body to Hazakura Temple,
[06:50] God
    Maya Fey wouldn't be suspected.
[06:53] God
    Not a bad idea.
[06:54] PW
    Iris...
[06:56] PW
    I still don't know why you're doing this,
[07:00] PW
    but your testimony has a clear contradiction.
[07:04] PW
    Elise couldn't have cast this staff aside.
[07:07] PW
    This thing has a gimmick.
[07:13] J
    I-Isn't that...
[07:14] J
    Isn't that blood?!
[07:18] J
    Whose blood is it?!
[07:21] PW
    It's being analyzed as we speak.
[07:23] PW
    But it doesn't make sense that she'd throw
    this sword away and use a smaller one.
[07:29] PW
    In the first place, Elise would
    never try to murder Maya Fey!
[07:34] God
    How can you be so sure?
[07:36] PW
    Because the victim's real name
    was not "Elise Deauxnim."
[07:39] PW
    Her real name was Misty Fey.
[07:43] J
    Fey?
[07:44] Iris
    N-No...
[07:46] PW
    Misty Fey was the Master of the Kurain,
     who'd been missing for years.
[07:52] PW
    She was also Maya Fey's mother!
[07:56] J
    Are you serious?!
[07:57] Iris
    It can't be...
[07:58] Pearl
    M... Mystic Misty?!
[08:00] PW
    Why would she try to kill her daughter,
    who she hadn't seen in 17 years?
[08:05] PW
    What reason could she possibly have had?!
[08:10] J
    Order! Order in the court!
[08:12] God
    Well...
[08:13] God
    I'm sure it's a long story.
[08:16] God
    When we investigated
    the Inner Temple's garden again,
[08:19] God
    we discovered this little beauty
    that backs up the testimony.
[08:23] God
    There's a bloodstain on its tip.
[08:26] God
    We're still waiting on forensics
    for this one, too.
[08:29] J
    Are you saying that was the murder weapon?
[08:32] God
    That is the prosecution's belief.
[08:35] J
    This photo of the crime scene seems odd.
[08:39] J
    Why was the snow around
    the lantern cleared out?
[08:43] J
    Oh? There's something written on the lantern.
SIGN    ayaM
[08:49] J
    I-Is that... a m-message written in blood?!
SIGN    Maya
[08:52] J
    It says "Maya" backwards!
[08:55] Iris
    That's right!
[08:57] Iris
    After Elise was stabbed,
[08:59] Iris
    she reached out behind her
    and wrote her killer's name
[09:02] Iris
    in her own blood!
[09:04] PW
    Crap! I forgot about that!
SIGN    Hold it!
[09:07] God
    Hold it!
[09:09] God
    Hang on just a minute.
[09:10] God
    What are you all talking about?
[09:15] PW
    What do you mean? We're talking
    about that message written in blood.
[09:18] God
    Nonsense.
[09:20] God
    Are you saying there's something
    written on the lantern?
[09:23] PW
    Could it be...
[09:25] PW
    He can't see it?
[09:27] J
    Anyway, this is a vital clue.
[09:30] J
    What do you say?
[09:33] J
    Prosecutor Godot?
[09:35] God
    R-Right...
[09:35] God
    Let's move on, witness.
[09:40] PW
    Is Prosecutor Godot panicking?
[09:43] Iris
    After it happened,
[09:46] Iris
    I thought it was my duty to protect
    the future Master of the Kurain School.
[09:50] Iris
    And so, we decided that I would
    move the body using the snowmobile.
[09:54] God
    Yeah.
[09:56] God
    There were clear snowmobile tracks
    from the bridge to Hazakura Temple.
[10:01] PW
    Clear tracks from Dusky Bridge...
[10:03] Iris
    That reminds me. When I carried
    the body to the bridge,
[10:06] Iris
    the snow had already stopped.
[10:10] PW
    "The snow had already stopped"?
[10:12] PW
    Are you absolutely certain?
[10:13] Iris
    Huh? Y-Yes, I remember it clearly.
[10:16] PW
    Objection!
[10:20] PW
    That just isn't true.
[10:23] PW
    That night, the snow stopped
    falling at 10:50 PM.
[10:27] PW
    Five minutes before it did,
    something crazy happened.
[10:32] Iris
    What do you mean?
[10:33] God
    Oh, right...
[10:35] PW
    It appears that you are unaware
[10:39] PW
    of the lightning strike
    that hit Dusky Bridge.
[10:41] Iris
    L-Lightning strike?
[10:43] PW
    You couldn't have moved the body across!
[10:46] PW
    Because the bridge was already on fire!
[10:53] PW
    In other words, witness, your testimony...
[10:56] PW
    is a complete and utter lie!
[11:02] PW
    Iris is trying to frame Maya.
[11:07] PW
    But why?!
[11:13] J
    Witness!
[11:14] J
    Lying under oath will bring
    a contempt of court charge!
[11:19] God
    The snow stopped five minutes
    after the lightning strike?
[11:24] God
    How laughable.
[11:26] God
    Weather in the mountains is
    as fickle as a maiden's heart.
[11:29] God
    It changes unpredictably all the time.
[11:32] Iris
    Right!
[11:34] Iris
    It's just like a maiden's heart!
[11:35] PW
    You can't be serious.
[11:37] God
    Listen up.
[11:39] God
    That night, the victim's body
    was moved to Hazakura Temple.
[11:43] God
    That fact remains.
[11:45] God
    Can you provide a better explanation for it?
[11:49] Iris
    Yeah, yeah!
[11:51] Iris
    Are you saying a corpse jumped
    across the burning bridge?
[11:55] PW
    That's right.
[11:56] PW
    The body did cross the burning
    Dusky Bridge somehow.
[12:01] Pearl
    Nick...
[12:03] J
    It certainly was burned to a crisp.
[12:07] J
    And one of the suspension wires is gone.
[12:10] PW
    Is that it?
[12:13] PW
    Is that what happened?!
[12:15] God
    It seems you have no other explanation.
[12:18] God
    That means you have no right
    to call this witness a liar.
[12:23] PW
    Objection!
[12:28] PW
    "A corpse jumped across the burning bridge"?
[12:31] PW
    Believe it or not,
    it's not entirely implausible.
[12:35] God
    It's not entirely implausible, eh?
[12:38] God
    But it does seem implausible
    that you could back that claim up.
[12:41] PW
    I don't know about that.
[12:43] PW
    After all, there was a witness.
[12:47] God
    What?
[12:48] PW
    I'll have to bulldoze my way through this.

    Genius...
[12:59] God
    ...picture book author...
[13:00] Iris
    Potential?
[13:02] Crowd
    Who's that?
[13:03] Crowd
    Never heard of him.
[13:05] PW
    He was in a nearby shack
    on the night of the murder.
[13:09] PW
    And that's when he witnessed
    the moment in question.
[13:13] God
    The moment in question?
[13:16] PW
    This sketch is an exact
    drawing of what he saw.
[13:23] J
    Are you really doing this?
[13:26] J
    Are you using those scribbles to claim
    the victim flew through the air?
[13:30] PW
    Yes, Your Honor!
[13:32] God
    Now that you've brought it out,
    don't try to take it back.
[13:36] PW
    Of course not!
[13:37] PW
    The truth is hiding in this sketch!
[13:42] God
    Then let me ask you.
[13:44] God
    What are you trying to say
    with those scribbles?
[13:46] PW
    This sketch that Laurice Deauxnim drew
[13:50] PW
    is a complete contradiction!
[13:53] J
    We know that already!
[13:55] PW
    No, no. That's not what I mean.
[13:58] PW
    Take a look at this photo.
[14:00] PW
    The suspension wires are below the bridge.
[14:04] PW
    But in this sketch,
[14:06] PW
    the wires appear to be above the guard wires.
[14:11] J
    Maybe the artist just saw it wrong?
[14:14] Iris
    Or perhaps he just drew it wrong.
[14:16] God
    Or you're wrong in the head.
[14:18] PW
    He drew what he saw.
[14:20] PW
    There has to be a reason
    behind this difference.
[14:25] PW
    According to the court records,
[14:26] PW
    Laurice Deauxnim was sketching
    "in his dreams" back then.
[14:31] God
    "In his dreams"?
[14:34] PW
    And right then,
[14:35] PW
    lightning shoots from the sky
    and sets the bridge aflame.
[14:38] PW
    He witnessed that moment, yes...
[14:43] PW
    lying on his back!
[14:45] Iris
    What?
[14:47] PW
    The scene he saw was actually upside down!
[14:53] God
    So that's what the sketch
    is supposed to look like.
[14:57] PW
    The victim's body wasn't
    flying above the bridge.
[15:01] PW
    It was actually swinging below!
[15:03] PW
    That's right!
[15:05] PW
    Just like a pendulum!
SIGN    Objection!
[15:08] God
    Objection!
[15:11] God
    Dusky Bridge is 20 meters long!
[15:13] God
    Where would you find a rope
    to swing across it?
[15:18] PW
    It's right there.
[15:19] God
    What?
[15:20] PW
    Don't you see it?
[15:22] J
    Th-The snapped suspension wire?!
[15:24] PW
    When lightning struck the bridge,
[15:27] PW
    one of the suspension wires was
    coming loose from its anchor.
[15:32] PW
    The culprit tied the body to it
    on the spur of the moment
[15:35] PW
    and swung it across to the other side.
[15:37] PW
    They had to move the body to
    Hazakura Temple at all costs.
[15:42] PW
    But they couldn't cross a burning bridge.
[15:45] PW
    This was the only way
    they could move the body!
[15:56] J
    Order! Order in the court!
[15:59] Iris
    Mister Wright!
[16:01] Iris
    Do you have any proof that
    the culprit really did such a thing?
[16:05] PW
    Of course I do.
[16:07] PW
    The victim's body had bruises consistent
    with a fall from a two-story building.
[16:13] PW
    After swinging across the bridge,
    the body crashed into the ground.
[16:16] PW
    And that impact knocked
    the crystal sphere loose.
[16:21] J
    It seems the defense has proven
    how the body was moved.
SIGN    Objection!
[16:26] God
    Objection!
[16:32] God
    Use this cold coffee to cool yourself down.
[16:36] J
    P-Prosecutor Godot?
[16:38] God
    That was a rich and bitter deduction, Trite.
[16:43] God
    But you forgot about one thing.
[16:46] PW
    What would that be?
[16:47] God
    If the culprit sent the body
    to the other side like you say,
[16:51] God
    then naturally, there must've
    been someone there to catch it.
[16:55] God
    An accomplice.
[16:57] God
    Can you tell us who received
    the body on the other side?
[17:02] PW
    Well, obviously...
[17:05] PW
    It can only be you, Iris.
[17:07] Iris
    M-Me?
[17:09] Iris
    The only way to transport the body
    from Dusky Bridge was by snowmobile.
[17:14] God
    Objection!
[17:15] God
    Were you even listening to the testimony?
[17:17] God
    This little cutie pie was cleaning up
    after Maya Fey at the Inner Temple.
[17:21] God
    In other words, she was the one
     who sent the body across.
[17:26] PW
    I haven't forgotten, but have you?
[17:28] PW
    Iris was witnessed at Hazakura Temple
[17:32] PW
    taking the victim's body to the courtyard
    and camouflaging it there!
[17:40] J
    This is entirely puzzling.
[17:41] J
    It's almost as if the defendant was in
    two different places at the same time.
SIGN    No Objections!
[17:48] PW
    No objections!
[17:51] J
    N-No objections?
[17:53] PW
    Yes.
[17:54] PW
    There were two Irises
    on the night of the murder.
[17:57] God
    Two of the defendant?
[18:00] PW
    To be more precise,
    they were identical twins.
[18:03] PW
    Your Honor!
[18:04] PW
    I'm sure you remember her, too.
[18:15] J
    W-Wait, you are...
[18:17] PW
    That's right.
[18:18] PW
    Dahlia Hawthorne, Iris's twin sister.
[18:23] God
    Objection!
[18:24] God
    Did you forget?
    Dahlia Hawthorne is already dead.
[18:28] PW
    Yes. I hear she was executed last month.
[18:32] J
    M-My...
[18:34] Iris
    That's right!
[18:35] Iris
    My sister isn't in this world anymore!
[18:38] PW
    You're wrong there.
[18:40] PW
    You of all people should already understand.
[18:44] PW
    After all, the blood of the Kurain School
    of Channeling flows within that body.
[18:50] J
    Ch-Channeling?
[18:52] PW
    By the way,
[18:53] PW
    why didn't you mention it?
[18:56] PW
    That the body was moved by pendulum?
[18:58] Iris
    I-I mean, I really had no idea.
[19:03] Iris
    I didn't know anything about a pendulum.
[19:05] PW
    There's no way you wouldn't have known.
[19:07] PW
    You were the one who received the body.
[19:12] PW
    I've been feeling something
    off with today's trial.
[19:16] PW
    You suddenly started confessing,
[19:18] PW
    trying to frame Maya with your testimony...
[19:23] PW
    You are not Sister Iris.
[19:26] PW
    I never thought the day would come
    when I'd see you again,
[19:31] PW
    Miss Dahlia Hawthorne.
[19:34] J
    B-But isn't she already dead?
[19:38] PW
    That's right. It's not
    Dahlia Hawthorne in the flesh.
[19:43] PW
    Who this witness really is...
[19:45] PW
    is a spirit, currently inhabiting
    the body of a spirit medium!
[19:48] J
    A-A spirit?!
[19:53] PW
    It's all written right here
    in these instructions.
SIGN    ...into action...come to, it will all be over. Channel a spirit as soon as you hear the bell for lights out and leave the rest to her. Her name is... ...is on our side, so don't worry about a thing. Here is a photo of her. Use it when you channel her. I know you can do it. After everything is over, burn this letter. You mustn't tell anyone about it. Gravely sunder the Master, roast her in the fires of Hades, and bring our vengeance to fruition.
[19:56] PW
    Dahlia Hawthorne was to be channeled
    on the night of the murder!
[20:01] DH
    That is...
[20:02] PW
    It was written by your mother,
     Morgan Fey!
[20:07] J
    H-How could this be?
[20:09] PW
    There's proof that a second Iris
     appeared that night.
[20:14] PW
    Back then, she gave me this hood
    at Hazakura Temple.
[20:19] PW
    But...
[20:20] PW
    The Iris who showed up
    at the Inner Temple after that
[20:24] PW
    was wearing the hood
    she had already given away.
[20:28] PW
    Contradictory, don't you think?
[20:30] God
    Objection!
[20:31] God
    But she was in police custody the entire time!
[20:36] God
    When did she switch places
    with Dahlia Hawthorne?
[20:39] PW
    There was one small window of opportunity.
[20:43] PW
    Yesterday, her whereabouts
    were unknown for a few minutes.
[20:47] PW
    It was when that earthquake happened.
[20:50] God
    Earthquake?
[20:51] PW
    Back then, she ran to the Inner Temple.
[20:54] PW
    And we went after her.
[20:57] PW
    But they had already switched
    places by that point in time.
[21:01] J
    B-But if we were to admit that
    spirit channeling is real,
[21:04] J
    there would be no need for tria—
[21:07] DH
    Be quiet.
[21:09] DH
    It's been a long time, hasn't it,
[21:12] DH
    Uncle?
[21:14] J
    I remember that demeanor!
[21:17] God
    Guess I'll have to ask again.
[21:22] God
    Upon meeting a pretty lady,
    ask for her name and profession.
[21:24] God
    That's one of my rules.
[21:27] DH
    Dahlia Hawthorne.
[21:29] DH
    Permanently retired.
[21:35] DH
    Long time no see,
[21:36] DH
    Feenie.
[21:39] PW
    Dahlia Hawthorne!
[21:42] PW
    It's time to finally close the book...
[21:46] PW
    Both on her and my past self!

[23:20] PW
    Objection!
[23:21] PW
    To think Dahlia would show up
     in Iris's body...
[23:26] PW
    She's already dead, but her and Morgan Fey's
    terrifying plot comes to light.
[23:32] PW
    In order to save Maya,
    I reach one conclusion.
[23:35] PW
    The trial reaches its final stages.
[23:38] PW
    The truth will be revealed soon.
[23:40] PW
    Find the contradictions!

    Reach out to the truth!
