    Who could have worn the Steel Samurai
    costume and gone to the studio?
[18:49] J
    Very well.
[18:51] J
    I shall hereby hand down the verdict—
SIGN    Objection!
[18:53] PW
    Objection!
[18:55] PW
    There is another person who could conceivably
    have committed this crime!
[19:02] ME
    Such futile resistance.
[19:04] ME
    Whom do you mean?
[19:06] PW
    It's... Well...
[19:09] PW
    Uh...
[19:15] PW
    Grandma!
[19:18] OB
    Wh-Who?!
[19:22] PW
    In this picture, the Steel Samurai
    is dragging his leg.
[19:25] PW
    So whoever was in the suit knew
    about that morning's injury.
[19:31] PW
    Other than Hammer and Powers,
    only one person knew about the injury.
[19:35] PW
    The old security lady!
[19:38] PW
    She was standing guard alone at the main gate.
[19:42] PW
    In other words, she has no alibi.
[19:45] PW
    She could have briefly left her post,
[19:47] PW
    stolen the costume, and headed
    for the crime scene!
[19:51] OB
    You're calling me a murderer?
[19:54] OB
    Is this how you repay me, whippersnapper?
[19:56] PW
    I don't recall owing you anything...
[19:59] PW
    Anyway, this is a possibility that
    cannot be rejected as of yet!
[20:07] J
    Order! Order in the court!
[20:10] J
    But why would she go to the trouble
    of wearing the costume?
[20:15] PW
    Simple, Your Honor...
[20:17] PW
    The security camera.
[20:18] PW
    She knew the camera at the
    gate would photograph her.
[20:23] PW
    Wearing the costume was the
    only way to hide her identity.
[20:27] J
    I see...
[20:29] J
    Excellent deductive reasoning.
[20:31] J
    It seems we'd best adjourn the trial for now.
[20:36] J
    Prosecutor Edgeworth...
[20:37] ME
    Your Honor.
[20:38] J
    Take the old ha—I mean, the witness
    into custody and interrogate her.
[20:44] ME
    The prosecution sees no need to rush the verdict.
[20:48] ME
    I shall see it done.
[20:49] M
    N-Nick...
[20:51] PW
    I feel bad for the old lady,
[20:53] PW
    but it looks like we bought ourselves another day.
[20:57] J
    That is all.
[20:58] J
    The court is adjourned for today—
SIGN    Objectionnnnnnnnn!
[21:00] OB
    Objection!
[21:06] OB
    I won't just sit here while you
    accuse me of murder...
[21:10] OB
    I'm talking.
[21:15] J
    W-Witness?
[21:16] ME
    What is this about?
[21:17] OB
    Actually, there's something I
    was told not to mention.
[21:22] PW
    N-Not to mention?
[21:23] ME
    What?
[21:25] OB
    Exactly!
[21:26] OB
    Listen up, and listen good.
[21:28] OB
    Some other people were at the studios
    on the day of the murder!
[21:37] ME
    Impossible!
[21:38] ME
    Why haven't I heard of this?
[21:44] PW
    Looks like this trial isn't ending anytime soon.
SIGN    Ace Attorney
[23:20] PW
    Objection!
[23:21] PW
    The Steel Samurai case just gets
    more and more confusing.
[23:24] PW
    At times like this, you need to
    remember his catchphrase!
[23:28] PW
    "Fight evil for great justice."
[23:30] PW
    Yes, victory isn't brought about by
    strength, but by righteousness.
[23:34] PW
    The desire for justice opens
    the door to a turnabout.
[23:37] PW
    But beyond that door lies an unexpected trap.
[23:41] PW
    Find the contradictions!
[23:42] PW
    Reach out to the truth!
