    Huh? Why?
[01:51] WP
    The studio bigwigs have decided
    they don't want to produce kids' shows anymore.
[01:56] M
    That's awful...
[01:58] M
    Children across the country

[02:02] WP
    I'm sorry.
[02:04] WP

    Your opening statement, Mr. Edgeworth.
[02:32] ME
    During the last session,
[02:34] ME
    we learned that there were others
    at the studios on the day of the murder.
[02:38] ME
    Today, we'll have them testify to
    establish the facts of the case.
[02:43] ME
    Our witness was in a meeting
    at the Studio Two trailer.

    She is Ms. Dee Vasquez, a producer.

    It ended at 4 PM.
[03:05] DV
    There was a rehearsal at 5 PM,
[03:07] DV
    so we went to Studio One,
[03:09] DV
    where the staff found Hammer's body.
[03:13] ME
    By the way,
[03:14] ---
    the estimated time of death is 2:30 PM.
[03:18] DV
    So, right in the middle of the meeting.
SIGN    Cross-Examination
[03:24] PW
    According to someone at that meeting,
[03:26] ---
    you took a fifteen-minute break
    around 2:30 PM.
[03:31] DV
    Yes.
[03:32] PW
    Look at this photograph.
[03:35] PW
    It was taken right before the murder.
[03:39] PW
    And it clearly shows the Studio Two gate.
[03:42] PW
    Also, the boy who took it
[03:45] PW
    testified that the Steel Samurai
    was killed by the villain after this.
[03:49] J
    What?
[03:50] J
    Killed?
[03:52] PW
    The victim, Jack Hammer, was the one
    in the Steel Samurai costume.
[03:57] PW
    And he was murdered in Studio Two.
[04:01] PW
    The defense strongly believes this to be true!
[04:05] PW
    I submit this photograph as evidence to the court.
[04:10] PW
    At 2:30 PM, the meeting was on break.
[04:14] PW
    That's when Hammer arrived.
[04:16] PW
    That means any of you could have killed him.
[04:20] ME
    Objection!
[04:21] ME
    Have you forgotten?
[04:23] ME
    The victim was found in Studio One,
    dressed as the Evil Magistrate.

    May I?
[04:40] DV
    You say I did it?
[04:45] DV
    Very well.
[04:47] DV
    Let us have a battle of wits, you and I.
[04:52] PW
    Anytime, Vasquez.
[04:54] DV
    Let's see...
[04:55] DV
    The murder weapon was the
    Samurai Spear, correct?
[04:59] ME
    It was found stuck in the victim's chest.
[05:02] ME
    And here it is.
[05:03] DV
    It weighs fifteen kilos.
[05:05] DV
    Do you really believe I could
    have used it as a weapon?
[05:08] ME
    Why not see for yourself?
[05:13] DV
    Hammer was stabbed through
    the chest, from the front.
[05:16] DV
    This indicates that he was aware
    of the killer's presence.
[05:19] DV
    The killer wrested the weapon from
    an action star and stabbed him.
[05:23] DV
    Isn't that far beyond a normal
    human being's capabilities?
[05:27] J
    True. Surely this witness couldn't
    have committed the murder.
SIGN    Objection!
[05:31] PW
    Objection!
[05:33] PW
    Whether she could have wielded this spear
[05:35] PW
    has no bearing on this case!
[05:38] ME
    Meaning?
[05:39] PW
    The Samurai Spear wasn't the murder weapon!

    Poor Hammer accidentally caused the death

[07:46] OB
    What's worse, a paparazzi caught it on film.
[07:49] OB
    And she was the one
    who swept it all under the rug.

    Vasquez?
[07:54] OB
    Ever since, she used that incident
[07:57] OB

    Wh-What is this photograph?
[08:49] PW
    Five years ago, there was an
    unfortunate accident at Studio Two.
[08:53] PW
    This photograph was taken at the time.
[08:55] J
    Oh, how sad—
[08:58] ME
    Objection!
[08:59] ME
    I thought we were talking about the
    weapon that killed the victim.
[09:03] PW
    But you can see it right here in this photograph!
[09:08] ME
    Are you saying...
[09:09] PW
    What would happen if one were to
    fall off the trailer's stairs?
[09:12] PW
    This photograph tells the whole story!
[09:16] J
    Th-Then, the killer pushed
    the victim onto the fence?
[09:21] ME
    I-Impossible!
[09:27] DV
    That's some ancient history you've dug up.
[09:31] DV
    Well, let me ask you. Why would I do that?
[09:34] PW
    Why?
[09:35] DV
    Why in the world would I want Hammer dead?
[09:38] ME
    Indeed! The witness lacks a motive!
[09:43] PW
    Let us turn our thinking about.
[09:46] J
    Wh-What do you mean?
[09:48] PW
    Ms. Vasquez, you covered up
     this accident five years ago.
[09:53] PW
    And once you had dirt on Hammer,
[09:56] PW
    you made him work for chump change.
[09:59] DV
    As producer, I am free to use actors as I see fit.
[10:02] PW
    It must've been such humiliation.
[10:04] PW
    No wonder he'd want you dead!
[10:07] J
    O-One moment.
[10:10] J
    You make it sound as though
     the victim tried to kill the witness.
[10:16] PW
    Exactly!
[10:18] PW
    We had this case the wrong way around!
[10:20] ME
    The wrong way around?
[10:23] PW
    Jack Hammer stole the Steel Samurai costume!
[10:27] PW
    Jack Hammer wore it and
    made his way to Studio Two!
[10:30] PW
    And for what purpose, you ask?
[10:31] PW
    Because Dee Vasquez had so cruelly
    taken advantage of him all those years,
[10:34] PW
    and he was out for blood!
[10:47] J
    So the victim died in the same way that
    he caused someone's death five years ago?
[10:58] PW
    Yes, Your Honor.
[11:00] DV
    Very creative.
[11:03] DV
    I could use a man like you
    on my script writing staff.
[11:07] PW
    You deny that what I say is true?
[11:12] DV
    I killed him, carried him to Studio One,
    and falsified the scene?
[11:16] DV
    But how could I have done all that
    during the fifteen-minute break?
[11:19] ME
    In the first place, moving the body there
    would have been impossible.
[11:24] ME
    Because the path to Studio One was blocked.
[11:29] ME
    Blocked by Forest Blimp's severed head!
[11:38] M
    But the name is "Forest Imp."
[11:40] PW
    And yet, I feel no desire to correct him.

[11:51] PW
    She only had to do it in phases.
[11:52] J
    Commit the crime in phases?
[11:55] PW
    She temporarily hid the body
    and returned to the meeting.
[11:58] PW
    And once it ended,
[12:00] PW
    she loaded the corpse into the van,
    and took it to Studio One.
[12:04] PW
    By then, the path was unblocked, too.
[12:10] DV
    You're smarter than you look, boy...
[12:12] DV
    I concede.
[12:17] PW
    S-So you admit that you killed Hammer?
[12:23] DV
    You seem to be under a misconception, kid.
[12:26] PW
    K-Kid?
[12:28] DV
    You've proven that I could have murdered Hammer,
[12:31] DV
    so I concede.
[12:34] DV
    That is all.
[12:35] PW
    But you are the one who killed him!
[12:39] DV
    How have you not learned
    the rules of adult society yet?
[12:43] DV
    You there. Enlighten him.
[12:46] ME
    In the courtroom, proof is everything.
[12:49] ME
    If you have none, your claims will be dismissed.
[12:52] DV
    That is the law here, is it not?
[12:55] DV
    You played all your cards and lost.
[12:57] DV
    And now, this game is over.
[13:01] DV
    I shall be leaving, then.
[13:08] J
    Could the defense present evidence
    to support its claims?

    You went to Studio One for a rehearsal, yes?
[14:30] DV
    Yes.
[14:30] PW
    Then why didn't you bring your script?
[14:34] DV
    I was under the impression that we
    wouldn't be able to rehearse.
[14:37] PW
    Why?
[14:39] DV
    There was a murder, after all.
[14:41] DV
    Who could think of rehearsing after that?
SIGN    Objection!

    You didn't take your script because
    you assumed there would be no rehearsal?

    a corpse before you even left the trailer.
[14:59] J
    Order!
[15:01] J
    Mr. Edgeworth, that is
    a reasonable observation.
[15:05] J
    But you're the prosecutor, so why point it out?
[15:08] M
    Edgeworth...
[15:10] PW
    He's probably realized who
    the real culprit is as well.
[15:14] ME
    Your Honor, I shall act in
    whatever manner I deem fit.
[15:20] ME
    Now, witness, do you have an explanation?
[15:22] DV
    The prosecution is in cahoots with the defense?
[15:26] DV
    No matter.
[15:27] DV
    I had a perfectly good reason to believe
    there would be no rehearsal.
[15:32] PW
    And what was that reason?

    I knew that Hammer was injured
    and couldn't do any action scenes.

[15:44] DV
    May I take this silence to mean you give up?

    Objection!

    Y-Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?

    I was hoping to come up with a question
    while I was objecting, Your Honor.
[15:58] ME
    But I did not.

    Hammer wasn't the one injured that day.
[17:07] PW
    It was Will Powers, the defendant!
[17:11] DV
    What are you talking about?
[17:13] ME
    Yes, Hammer was dragging his leg
    when he showed up at the trailer.
[17:18] ME
    But that was because he was
    pretending to be Powers.
[17:22] DV
    Wh-What?
[17:24] PW
    And you weren't present at the
    morning run-through, anyway.
[17:28] PW
    How did you know about the injury?
[17:30] DV
    W-Well...
[17:32] DV
    Right, it was Manella. I heard it from him.
[17:36] DV
    He—
[17:37] PW
    I think not.
[17:39] PW
    That day, Director Manella saw
    Mr. Powers get hurt before his very eyes.
[17:44] PW
    There's no way he would get it wrong!
[17:46] PW
    That day, you saw Jack Hammer
    limping with your own eyes!
[17:51] PW
    And when was this?
[17:55] ME
    Well...
[17:56] ME
    When he put on the Steel Samurai costume
    and headed to the Studio Two trailer.
[18:01] PW
    When you took a fifteen-minute
    break in the trailer!
[18:05] ME
    And that time matches the victim's
    estimated time of death exactly!
[18:28] PW
    You did it, didn't you, Ms. Dee Vasquez?
[18:34] DV
    Yes.

    I was the one.

    I lose. You win.

    It appears you have brought about
    yet another miracle, Mr. Wright.
[18:53] ME
    I think not, Your Honor.
[18:55] ME
    Will Powers was innocent.
[18:58] ME
    That he should be found so
    is only natural... not a miracle.

    Right, Nick?
[21:00] PW
    For now, I guess.
[21:02] M
    What's with that pregnant wording?
[21:05] M
    Now I can't stop thinking about it! Tell me!

[21:23] PW
    I didn't think they'd seriously go through with it.
[21:29] PW
    I have the feeling that the case
    changed something within me.
[21:34] PW
    Perhaps it was the same for him.
[21:39] PW

    A gunshot echoes across the night sky.
[23:23] PW
    The incident on the holy night
    implicates an unexpected culprit.
[23:27] PW
    His name is Miles Edgeworth.

    me, and even Maya.

    Just what happened fifteen years ago?
[23:36] PW
    There's only one thing I can do.
[23:38] PW
    Edgeworth, let me defend you.
[23:42] PW
    Find the contradictions!
[23:43] PW
    Reach out to the truth!
