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.

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,

the estimated time of death is 2:30 PM.

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.

[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!

[05:33] PW
Whether she could have wielded this spear

[05:38] ME
Meaning?
[05:39] PW
The Samurai Spear wasn't the murder weapon!
[05:44] PW
Because it was broken before
the murder took place!

Wh-What is this?
[07:38] OB
A photo of the accident five years ago.
[07:41] OB
Poor Hammer accidentally caused the death
of his opposite number while filming.
[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.
[07:52] PW
Vasquez?
[07:54] OB
Ever since, she used that incident
[07:57] OB
to threaten Hammer into doing her bidding.

She had him working for pennies.

Including the murder weapon
that took Hammer's life.
[08:36] M
Nick!
[08:38] PW
The defense would like to present
new evidence to the court!
[08:45] J
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.

There was no need to do everything at once.
[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.

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.

[14:19] PW

[14:21] PW
What am I supposed to do
with a testimony like that?
[14:24] PW
Er...
[14:26] PW
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!
[14:43] ME
Objection!
[14:47] ME
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

[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?
[15:33] DV
I knew that Hammer was injured
and couldn't do any action scenes.
[15:40] J
Oh, good point.
[15:44] DV
May I take this silence to mean you give up?
[15:49] ME
Objection!
[15:49] J
Y-Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?
[15:54] ME
I was hoping to come up with a question
while I was objecting, Your Honor.
[15:58] ME
But I did not.
[16:03] ME

Ms. Vasquez, did you just say that
you knew Hammer was injured?
[17:02] DV

[17:04] PW
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.
[18:36] DV
I was the one.

It appears you have brought about
yet another miracle, Mr. Wright.
[18:53] ME
I think not, Your Honor.

That he should be found so
is only natural... not a miracle.
