[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. SIGN    Witness — Dee Vasquez [02:48] ME     She is Ms. Dee Vasquez, a producer. [02:51] PW     I'll catch her with her pants down... So to speak. SIGN    Witness Testimony [02:58] DV     That day, we had a noon meeting     in the Studio Two trailer.

[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?

[04:55] 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! [05:44] PW     Because it was broken before     the murder took place!

[08:34] PW     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. [11:42] [SONG] Sign     Studio 1 Front Gate [11:42] [SONG] Sign     Gate     Studio 2 Dressing Room Staff Area [11:42] J     Yes, in terms of time,     it does seem impossible. SIGN    Objection! [11:46] PW     Objection! [11:48] PW     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. [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? [13:13] M     Nick! [13:16] DV     Then your cross-examination is done. [13:19] DV     It was fun. [13:22] DV     Goodbye.

[13:40] ME     I request that the witness testify again. [13:45] M     Edgeworth? [13:48] ME     Indeed! Verily, I say... Ergo! [13:51] ME     I want to hear what happened     after they found the body. [13:54] ME     If the prosecution wants a witness     to testify, they cannot refuse. [13:57] ME     That is the law of the courtroom. [13:59] J     Very well. [14:00] J     Your testimony, witness. SIGN    Witness Testimony [14:05] DV     We called the police as soon     as we found Hammer dead. [14:09] DV     I went back to the trailer to get     my script, and then went home. [14:14] DV     Happy now? [14:15] J     That will do. [14:16] J     Defense, you may cross-examine the witness. [14:19] PW     Y-Yes, Your Honor! [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? [14:51] ME     That sounds as though you knew there was     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? [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     Anyway, I object! [16:05] J     Anyway, objection overruled. [16:06] PW     E-Edgeworth... [16:09] M     Hey, Nick. [16:11] M     If my sister were here right now, [16:14] M     I bet she'd say, [16:16] M     "When times are desperate, smile." [16:22] PW     When things are desperate, you have to smile. [16:25] PW     I see... [16:26] PW     Vasquez must be teetering     on the edge now, too! [16:32] DV     I knew that Hammer was injured     and couldn't do any action scenes. SIGN    Objection!

[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.

[17:46] 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!
