    At the same time the
    Kurain urn was being stolen,
[00:03] PW
    a murder was taking place over
    at KB Security's CEO office.
[00:07] PW
    And since Ron was at the scene
    when it happened,
[00:10] PW
    he was arrested again,
    this time as a murder suspect.
[00:13] PW
    And the one behind this devious
    plot was the true murderer!

[02:17] J
    The prosecution may begin its questioning.
[02:21] God
    I never drink more than 17 cups
    of coffee during any given trial.
[02:26] God
    But the first one is always the best.
[02:31] J
    H-Huh?
[02:33] PW
    He's planning to end this
    in the very first go?
[02:37] God
    I looked into why you were fired
    from that company a year ago.
[02:46] God
    For your wife, huh?
[02:48] Mar
    Me?
[02:51] Ama
    That's not...
[02:52] God
    In order to provide more
    spending money to your wife,
[02:56] God
    you stole confidential data from the company.
[03:00] God
    The CEO found out, and you were fired.
[03:04] God
    You didn't want your wife to find out,
[03:07] God
    so you made it seem like
    you quit on your own.
[03:11] God
    That brings a tear to my eye.
[03:14] God
    The CEO used that to blackmail you.
[03:18] God
    And that is how this murder came about.
SIGN    If you don't want your secret identity revealed, bring me $50,000. I'll waiting in the CEO's office of KB Security at 1 AM, September 12th. If you don't have the money, sell off that red diamond you stole recently.
[03:22] Mar
    No... Ronnie...
[03:26] God
    That establishes your motive.
[03:29] PW
    This is bad.
[03:30] God
    Moving on, what happened
    there at 1 AM that night?
[03:35] God
    Tell the court.
[03:38] Ama
    I followed the blackmail letter's
    orders and entered the CEO's office.
[03:43] Ama
    And when I did, there was a
    suspicious shadow there...
[03:52] Ama
    Suddenly, I was hit on the forehead.
[03:55] Ama
    When I came to, the CEO was lying dead!
[04:03] Ama
    If I hadn't been wearing that,
     I might've died, too.
[04:08] PW
    What do you mean by "that"?
[04:09] Ama
    Why, my mask, of course.
[04:11] PW
    M-Mask?
[04:13] Ama
    I was wearing my Mask DeMasque
     costume that night.
[04:23] Ama
    Oh, I guess I forgot to mention it until now.
[04:26] PW
    Sounds like it.
[04:28] God
    Even I didn't know that.
[04:32] Ama
    I was being blackmailed over
    the Mask DeMasque issue,
[04:35] Ama
    so I thought I should go as him.
[04:39] J
    Huh?
[04:40] PW
    This is going too slow.
     I have to pick up the pace.
SIGN    Courtroom 4
[04:44] WP
    What do you say, Mr. Atmey?
[04:48] Luke
    I have to say you performed splendidly,
     Sir Payne.
[04:53] Luke
    Looks like the time of
    resolution is almost upon us.
[04:59] God
    As you heard, this kid's testimony
    is all over the place.
[05:04] God
    Someone hit him? Who would believe that?
[05:08] PW
    Hold it!
[05:09] PW
    Look at the logs for the emergency buzzer
    connecting the CEO's office to security.
[05:14] PW
    According to these logs, the buzzer
    was pushed once, at around 1 AM.
[05:18] PW
    If Ron was the murderer,
    he would've ran as soon as it sounded.
[05:21] God
    Say what?
[05:22] PW
    A security guard would've
    been heading his way.
[05:25] PW
    But Ron has admitted that
    he hid the body in the safe.
[05:30] PW
    If he was the murderer, there's no
     way he would've done that!
SIGN    Objection!
[05:33] God
    Objection!
[05:34] God
    But as it turns out, the guard never came.
[05:38] PW
    That... was nothing more than a coincidence.
[05:41] LB
    Teehee!
[05:42] J
    Maybe he didn't notice the buzzer going off?
[05:47] PW
    That's out of the question.
[05:48] PW
    This buzzer is so loud,
    it's impossible not to hear it.
[05:51] PW
    Unless you were unconscious
    when it sounded, of course.
[05:56] J
    What do you mean by that?
[05:58] PW
    Remember what the defendant said earlier.
[06:00] PW
    Someone attacked him, and he found
    the victim dead when he came to.
[06:05] God
    What about it?
[06:06] PW
    In other words, Ron was out cold
    when the buzzer sounded!
[06:11] J
    What? He was knocked out?
[06:13] PW
    By the time it went off,
    Bullard had already been murdered.
[06:19] PW
    And Ron had been
    knocked out by the hit.
[06:23] PW
    In this situation, if the real killer
    made his escape, what would happen?
[06:27] Ama
    A-Anyone would think that I was the murderer!
[06:31] PW
    Precisely! The emergency buzzer
    was sounded by the real murderer!
[06:35] PW
    All to frame Ron DeLite of the murder!
[06:44] J
    And who exactly was this real killer?
[06:49] PW
    Luke Atmey.
[06:53] God
    That phantom thief is currently on
    trial in the next courtroom over.
[06:58] PW
    He's no phantom thief.
[07:01] PW
    Two crimes happened at the exact same time.
[07:04] PW
    Theft and murder...
    Which is the less serious crime?
[07:09] J
    They're not even close. Theft, of course.
[07:12] PW
    If he were to be found guilty of theft,
[07:15] PW
    he wouldn't be accused of murder.
[07:18] PW
    That's how he's trying to get
    away with his real crime!
[07:24] God
    No way.
[07:26] PW
    The defense requests that Luke Atmey
    be brought to the stand!
[07:28] PW
    At once, before he's declared guilty!
[07:38] J
    Now then, this court is back in session.
[07:43] May
    You finally dragged him out here.
[07:45] PW
    This is where things get real.
[07:48] PW
    1 AM, September 12th.
[07:50] PW
    That was the time
    Kane Bullard was murdered.
[07:54] PW
    Tell the court again what you were doing.
[07:56] Luke
    No matter how many times you ask,
    my answer will remain the same.
[07:59] Luke
    I was stealing the urn as I,
    Mask DeMasque, had promised.
[08:05] Luke
    The time stamp on this photo taken by
    the security camera is my witness.
[08:15] PW
    At the time, you were in
    KB Security's CEO office.
[08:19] PW
    This photo can't have
    been taken on that night!
[08:22] Luke
    What?
[08:24] J
    Please elaborate.
[08:26] PW
    This photo was taken at 1 AM a
    few days before the incidents.
[08:32] God
    A few days before?
[08:35] PW
    And on the night in question, you made
    sure to kill Bullard at the same time.
[08:41] PW
    You took the photo to give yourself an alibi!
[08:45] Luke
    Argh!
[08:47] PW
    The photo only mentions
    the time, not the date.
[08:49] PW
    You made full use of that!
SIGN    Objection!
[08:51] God
    Objection!
[08:52] God
    It's not good to jump to conclusions.
[08:55] God
    Where is the proof?
[08:58] PW
    There's a huge contradiction in this photo.
[09:02] PW
    Something that should've been
    there is nowhere to be seen!
[09:05] PW
    I mean Ami Fey's golden statue.
[09:08] PW
    The supervisor of the treasure
    exhibit stated the following.
[09:10] AA
    After that, I realized how
    ugly the paint stains looked,
[09:14] AA
    so I hid them behind Mystic Ami's statue.
[09:18] PW
    That night, the statue was directly
    in the view of the security camera.
[09:22] PW
    The one who moved it is none
    other than you, Detective Atmey.
[09:28] God
    But for what purpose?
[09:31] PW
    Remember.
[09:33] PW
    When was the statue delivered
    to the warehouse?
[09:36] God
    The day before the incidents...
[09:39] God
    You don't mean!
[09:41] PW
    That's right.
[09:42] PW
    Detective Atmey took this
    photo a few days before.
[09:46] PW
    The statue wasn't there then.
[09:50] PW
    He must've been quite nervous.
[09:52] PW
    Something that wasn't supposed to be there
    was somewhere it wasn't supposed to be.
[09:57] PW
    So you had to move the statue,
[10:01] PW
    to make the room match with the
    way it had been in his photo.
[10:05] PW
    The Lordly Tailor provided
    the security cameras.
[10:08] PW
    You couldn't tamper with the photos.
[10:09] PW
    But you took advantage of the fact
    that they didn't show the date!
[10:14] PW
    What do you say,
[10:16] PW
    Detective Atmey?!
[10:18] Luke
    Gwaah!
[10:21] God
    This is my 11th cup.
[10:23] God
    I'm still good until the
    very last drop of the 17th.
[10:26] God
    Are you saying this detective set it all up?
[10:29] PW
    Yes.
[10:31] God
    That won't fly, amigo.
[10:33] PW
    What?
[10:35] God
    "Luke Atmey was in KB Security's
    CEO office on the night of the murder."
[10:40] God
    Unless you can prove that,
[10:42] God
    you're just a kid running his mouth.
[10:47] May
    Can you even prove that, Nick?
[10:55] PW
    I can...
[10:58] PW
    not prove it.
[11:00] God
    That's that.
[11:01] God
    Then this phantom thief will be
    heading back to his own trial.
[11:08] God
    It's time for the verdict.
[11:09] PW
    No!
[11:15] Luke
    I am the Ace Detective
    as well as Mask DeMasque!
[11:19] Luke
    My verdict will verify that.
[11:23] Luke
    The truth has one again been
    elegantly revealed to me.
[11:26] Luke
    Ron DeLite is the true killer!
[11:30] Luke
    Well, I must admit that he's
    the biggest phantom thief fan.
[11:35] Luke
    After all, he wore Mask DeMasque's
    costume to meet his blackmailer.
[11:42] Luke
    As Mask DeMasque, I'm truly honored.
[11:47] PW
    Damn it! Ron's going to be finished!
[11:50] May
    Don't give up now! We can
    look for more evidence and...
[11:54] PW
    By then, it'll be too late.
[11:55] May
    Why?
[11:56] God
    Ever heard of double jeopardy?
[12:00] PW
    "Should a defendant be tried
    and found innocent in court,
[12:05] PW
    that defendant cannot be triad
    again for the same crime."
[12:09] God
    Luke Atmey will be found guilty
    as Mask DeMasque.
[12:14] PW
    That'll be the alibi that proves
    his innocence in the murder case.
[12:20] J
    He will never stand trial for it again.
[12:26] Luke
    Of course not.
[12:27] May
    No way!
[12:30] PW
    Am I... Am I going to let him get away?!
[12:35] Mia
    Phoenix...
[12:38] Mia
    Raise your head up high.
[12:44] Mia
    Phoenix...
[12:46] Mia
    Raise your head up high.
[12:47] PW
    That voice... No way!
[12:51] Mia
    Have you forgotten what I used to tell you?
[12:53] Mia
    A lawyer is someone who smiles,
    no matter how bad it gets.
[12:57] PW
    M-Mia?
[13:00] Mia
    Save the chat for later. Let's finish this.
[13:03] PW
    But his cross-examination is over.
[13:06] Mia
    No, it's not over.
[13:08] Mia
    That detective said too much.
[13:11] PW
    He did?
[13:12] Mia
    Just now, he made a fatal mistake.
[13:16] Mia
    Recall what he last said.
[13:20] Luke
    I must take your leave, ladies and gentlemen.
     My verdict awaits me.
[13:26] PW
    Objection!
SIGN    Objection!
[13:28] Luke
    Awoo?
[13:29] PW
    You're not getting away, Detective Atmey!
[13:32] PW
    You just admitted that you were at
    the scene of the murder that night!
[13:36] Luke
    What?
[13:37] PW
    Remember what you said earlier.
[13:39] Luke
    After all, he wore Mask DeMasque's
    costume to meet his blackmailer.
[13:46] Luke
    What about it?
[13:48] PW
    How did you know about that?
[13:51] Luke
    What do you mean?
[13:53] PW
    The fact that Ron was dressed
    as Mask DeMasque that night
[13:58] PW
    was only revealed today for the
    first time in this very courtroom.
[14:02] Ama
    Oh, I guess I forgot to
    mention it until now.
[14:05] PW
    You were standing trial
    in the other courtroom.
[14:08] PW
    You couldn't have known about it!
[14:14] God
    But he did know.
[14:17] PW
    There's only one way you could've known.
[14:20] PW
    That night, Ron saw a suspicious shadow.
[14:25] PW
    Turn that on its head, and it means
    that the shadow saw Ron, too.
[14:35] PW
    Detective Atmey, you saw
    Mask DeMasque with your own eyes.
[14:42] PW
    In other words, you were at the scene
    of the murder when it happened!
[14:52] PW
    Luke Atmey, you killed Kane Bullard.
[14:57] PW
    Isn't that right?
[14:59] Luke
    Bravo!
[15:01] Luke
    That glint in your eyes,
    and your spiky hair...
[15:04] Luke
    Sir Lawyer, you deserve
    the highest of praise!
[15:15] God
    You'll tell us everything before
    you leave, Ace Detective.
[15:20] Luke
    Very well.
[15:21] Luke
    It all started on the night of
    Mask DeMasque's very first heist.
[15:26] Luke
    As he made his getaway, he entered
    an empty back alley nearby.
[15:36] Luke
    Empty, save for the Ace
    Detective hiding there!
[15:40] Luke
    And so, I unmasked Mask DeMasque.
[15:43] Luke
    That very moment, a most wonderful idea
    flashed through my superior brain.
[15:48] Luke
    I could blackmail the phantom thief
    into following my best-laid plans!
[15:55] Luke
    Meanwhile, I'd shine the spotlight on the
    duels between him and the Ace Detective.

[15:59] Luke
    Indeed! I could do whatever I pleased!

SIGN    Ace Detective
    Luke Atmey
[16:03] Luke
    I could make Mask DeMasque and society
    dance in the palm of my hand!
[16:06] Luke
    How entertaining would that be?
[16:08] Luke
    And in the end, I would capture him myself.
[16:11] Luke
    When I did, my name would
    resound around the world!
[16:14] Luke
    What a truly beautiful scenario!
[16:18] PW
    You'd thought that far ahead?
[16:20] Luke
    However, I ran into an unexpected speed bump.
[16:24] God
    Kane Bullard saw through you?
[16:28] G
    Hold it!
[16:30] Luke
    I pulled a fast one on KB Security
    and obtained this blood-red diamond.
[16:36] Luke
    He caught wind of the fact
    that it was in my hands.
[16:40] Luke
    And so, this Ace Detective now wound
    up being blackmailed by Bullard.
[16:46] PW
    Bullard blackmailed you?
[16:50] Luke
    I couldn't let someone
    who knew about me live.
[16:54] Luke
    I decided to use my latest
    clients for this purpose.
[16:59] God
    The Kurain Village treasure exhibit?
[17:01] Luke
    Precisely!
[17:03] Luke
    I could silence the wretched
    blackmailer forever
[17:06] Luke
    and frame the boy who was playing
    phantom thief of the crime!
[17:10] Luke
    In the basement warehouse
    of Lordly Tailor,
[17:13] Luke
    the curtain was raised
    on my most elegant plan!
[17:18] PW
    You sent a calling card to Lordly Tailor,
[17:20] PW
    took this photo wearing Mask DeMasque's
    costume to prepare an alibi,
[17:26] PW
    and used Bullard's blackmail letter
[17:30] PW
    to call Ron to KB Security's CEO office.
[17:33] God
    Following that, you tried to get
    yourself declared guilty of theft.
[17:40] PW
    How selfish can you be?
[17:43] Luke
    The Ace Detective was also the phantom thief!
[17:48] Luke
    The twist would sent society into a frenzy!
[17:50] Luke
    That was the finale to my grand plan!
[17:54] Luke
    A genius plan for a genius,
    by the most genius of geniuses!
[17:58] God
    You're done.
[18:02] God
    You shot up the wildest of fireworks
    and went out in a blaze of glory.
[18:07] God
    All that remains is the darkness.
[18:12] God
    Drink it all up, and it
    leaves nothing behind.
[18:16] God
    Nothing but the hollow
    whining of a poor loser.
[18:28] J
    It seems we have reached the bottom
    of this awfully complicated case.
[18:35] J
    We came perilously close to besmirching
    this young man with the title of murderer.
[18:42] J
    I shall now hand down the verdict.

[19:09] PW
    Thank you, Maya.
[19:13] Ama
    Um, Mr. Wright, thank you so much.
[19:18] Ama
    But I feel like nothing
    really matters anymore.
[19:22] Maya
    Come on. Just be happy already.
[19:24] Maya
    You were cleared of murder and got
    off as Mask DeMasque as a bonus.
[19:28] PW
    Bonus?
[19:30] Ama
    But in exchange, I lost everything.
[19:36] Ama
    All I wanted was for Dessie to be happy,
[19:40] Ama
    but this was the only way I could
     make enough money for her.

    You mean being a phantom thief?
[19:46] Ama
    She's always said how

    Why didn't you talk to me
    about what was going on?
[20:13] Mar
    I never imagined that you
    really were Mask DeMasque.
[20:17] Ama
    But don't you hate criminals?
[20:19] Mar
    Huh? Oh, I only hate people who
    act all cowardly and sneaky.
