???:

Hello? This is Maya.

Mia:

Hey Maya. It's me.

???:

Mia!

What's up? You haven't

called in a while.

Mia:

Sorry, I've been so busy.

How you been?

???:

Well, LONELY.

And it's all YOUR fault.

???:

Nah, I'm just teasing.

???:

I've been great! I'm finally

getting used to having my

own place!

Mia:

That's good to hear.

Mia:

Actually, I'm calling because

I have a favor to ask.

???:

I know, I know. You want me

to hold on to evidence for you?

Mia:

Sharp as always!

Mia:

There's a lot of buzz about

the upcoming trial...

Mia:

I just don't feel safe

keeping the evidence here.

???:

I gotcha.

So, what is it this time?

Mia:

It's... a clock.

???:

A clock?

Mia:

Yeah, it's made to look like

that statue,"The Thinker."

And it tells you the time!

Mia:

I thought you might like it.

You always liked toys.

???:

Hey! I'm not a little

girl anymore, Sis!

Mia:

Now, now. You know

I'm only teasing.

Mia:

Ah, I should probably tell

you, the clock isn't talking

right now.

???:

Huh? It's not working?

That's lame!

Mia:

I had to take the

clockwork out. Sorry.

Mia:

I put some papers

inside it instead.

???:

Papers? Is that

the evidence, then?

Mia:

Hmm, well... There's a

possibility that it might

turn out that way, yes.

Mia:

Can you come by the office

tonight, say 9:00, to pick

it up?

Mia:

I'll be in a pretrial

meeting until then.

???:

Okay, Sis, but I expect

dinner! Something good!

???:

Like... burgers! I could

really go for a good burger.

Mia:

Okay, okay.

We'll hit the usual joint.

???:

Alright! It's a deal!

???:

Okay, Sis! See you soon!

Mia:

Yep.

I'll be waiting, Maya.

(Conversation recorded. September 5, 9:27 A.M.)

September 5, 8:57 P.M. Fey & Co. Law Offices

???:

Now, Miss Fey, I'll take

what's mine... the papers.

Mia:

I'm sorry, but I can't

give you what I don't have.

???:

Miss Fey,

you are a poor liar.

???:

Why, I see it right

over there...

???:

That must be "The Thinker"

that swallowed those papers.

Mia:

How could you know...?

???:

Ho hoh. You are not

cogniferous of my

background?

???:

Gathering information is

my business, you see.

Mia:

I... I should have been more

careful.

???:

Ho hoh.

???:

My dear Miss Fey...

I am so very sorry.

???:

But I am afraid I must ask

you for one more thing.

???:

Your eternal silence...

Farewell, Miss Fey.

Mia:

!!!

Red... White... Blue...

September 5, 9:08 A.M. Fey & Co. Law Offices

Phoenix:

Uh oh, I'm late.

Phoenix:

Huh, that's strange.

The chief must have

gone home already.

Phoenix:

She said her sister was

coming over so we should

all go out for dinner.

Phoenix:

...

Phoenix:

What's that smell...?

Phoenix:

Blood ...?

Phoenix:

Mia!

(Maybe she's in her office!)

Phoenix:

That smell... Blood!

???:

...

???:

* sob*

???:

Sis...

Phoenix:

(Someone's there!)

Phoenix:

...!

Phoenix:

Chief? Chief...?

Phoenix:

Chief!!!

Phoenix:

Who are you?

???:

...

Phoenix:

(The strange girl dropped out

cold. I left her lying on

the office sofa.)

Phoenix:

(I went back to the chief

where she lay under the

window.)

Phoenix:

(Her body was still warm...)

Phoenix:

(I could feel it when I

held her shoulder.)

Phoenix:

(Then, all too quickly,

it began to fade...)

Phoenix:

(Until finally she was cold.)

Phoenix:

Chief...

Phoenix:

Chief...

Phoenix:

It's hard to see her like

this, but if there are any

clues here...

Phoenix:

She was struck on the head

with a blunt object.

Phoenix:

She probably died instantly.

Phoenix:

"The Thinker" lying next

to her must have been

the murder weapon.

The Thinker added

to the Court Record.

Phoenix:

Hmm... there are some glass

shards near the chief's body.

Phoenix:

Must be pieces of the glass

light stand lying broken in

the back of the room.

Glass Shards added

to the Court Record.

Phoenix:

Nothing else that seems

like a clue here...

Phoenix:

Hmm...?

Phoenix:

A piece of paper! It must

have fallen from Mia's hand!

Phoenix:

What could it be?

Receipt added to

the Court Record.

Phoenix:

(I think that's enough

snooping around for now.)

Phoenix:

(I'd better call the police...)

Phoenix:

(and find out what that

girl was doing here.)

Phoenix:

...!

Phoenix:

(That girl just now...

where'd she go!?)

Phoenix:

(I put her right there

on that sofa...!)

Phoenix:

(Uh oh... I hope she

didn't run on me.)

Phoenix:

Yipes!

Phoenix:

(Don't scare me like that...)

Phoenix:

Umm...

Phoenix:

Excuse me but, who are you?

???:

...

Phoenix:

It's okay. I work here.

Maya:

Maya...

Maya:

Maya Fey.

Phoenix:

Maya... Fey?

* whee-ooo* *whee-ooo*...

* whee-ooo* *whee-ooo*...

Phoenix:

!

Phoenix:

The police!

(Sounds like they're

coming this way!)

Freeze! Police!

Gumshoe:

Alright, I'm Detective Dick Gumshoe, see?

Phoenix:

(Gumshoe...?

What an odd name.)

Gumshoe:

We received a report from the

building across the way, see.

Gumshoe:

Got a person saying

they saw a murder.

Phoenix:

(It must have been

that woman I saw.)

Gumshoe:

Anyway, I don't want either

of you moving one inch, 'kay?

Phoenix:

(Great. Just great.)

Phoenix:

(Maya... Wait, she

wouldn't have... nah.)

Gumshoe:

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Gumshoe:

Scuze me!

Maya:

Eek!

Gumshoe:

This word "Maya" here

mean anything to you?

Maya:

...!

Maya:

Um... that...

Maya:

That's my name...

Gumshoe:

WHAAAAT!?

Gumshoe:

The victim drew this here

note in her own blood, see?

Gumshoe:

With her dying breath, she

wrote down the killer's name!

Maya:

K-killer...? I'm not--

Gumshoe:

Case closed! You're coming

down to the precinct, ma'am.

Maya:

W-what?

Phoenix:

Mia's younger sister, Maya,

was arrested on the spot.

Phoenix:

I was taken in for questioning

and didn't get out until the

next morning.

Phoenix:

My eyes were heavy...

but I couldn't sleep.

Phoenix:

I sat around, waiting for

visiting hours to begin at

the detention center.

Phoenix:

I had to talk to Maya

as soon as possible.

September 6, 9:07 A.M. Detention Center

Visitor's Room

Phoenix:

(Wow, they have poor Maya

locked up like a criminal.)

Maya:

Oh!

Mays:

It's you! The lawyer...

Maya:

G-good morning.

Phoenix:

Good morning!

Phoenix:

(She looks so tired...)

Maya:

Um...

Maya:

Are you going to

be my attorney?

Phoenix:

Well, that's what I wanted

to talk to you about...

Maya:

Even you, when you found me

in the office. You looked at

me like I had done it!

Phoenix:

(Did I look at her like that?)

Phoenix:

No, no! I never thought...

Maya:

I-it's okay.

I understand.

Maya:

...

Maya:

And... I've also heard

about you.

Phoenix:

Heard...? Heard what

about me?

Maya:

I... was talking to my sister

on the phone the other day...

Mia:

"Today was my junior partner's

first time in court."

Maya:

Wow! Really? How'd that go?

Mia:

"It was quite the scene!"

Mia:

"Honestly, I was on edge

the whole time. It's

been a while..."

Maya:

Hah! So, he crashed and

burned?

Mia:

"...He's a genius."

Mia:

"One of those 'strike fear

into the hearts of evil'

types..."

Mia:

"The only thing he's lacking

is... experience."

Maya:

Huh, sounds like it was fun!

Maya:

Well, I know who to go to if

I ever get into trouble now!

Mia:

"I don't know, Maya."

Mia:

"I think you might want

to wait... give him three

more years."

Mia:

"That is, unless you want

to be found guilty."

Maya:

That's what she said!

Phoenix:

...

Maya:

I-I'm sorry!

Maya:

I didn't mean to

trouble you...

Phoenix:

No, it's okay.

It's true, I guess.

Phoenix:

But... at the same time,

I can't just sit and watch!

Phoenix: When I think of the person

who did this to Mia...

Maya:

...

Maya:

I know...

September 6

Fey & Co. Law Offices

Phoenix: (The office is filled

with police officers.)

Phoenix: (They're all busily searching

for clues...)

???:

Hey! You there!

???:

This is a crime scene, pal!

No trespassing!

???:

Um... Sorry, don't I

know you from somewhere?

???:

Wait, you're that Butz guy,

aren't you!

Phoenix:

No, no, Phoenix Wright!

(How could anyone mistake

me for Larry!?)

???:

Ah, guess I got the

wrong name, Mr. Wright.

Sorry 'bout that.

???:

That Butz guy, he was

a killer! And you're

no killer! Right?

Phoenix:

(He WAS proven innocent...)

Phoenix:

Umm... right. And you were...

Gumshoe:

Anyway, get the name right. Gumshoe:

And don't go calling me "Dick"... Police:

Hey, Dick!

Get over here! Gumshoe:

Y-yes, sir! Gumshoe:

B-be right there! Gumshoe:

Umm... ahem! Gumshoe:

You're her lawyer,

right, pal? Gumshoe:

If you got business here,

you'd better do it quick! Phoenix:

(Whew! He thinks I'm

Maya's lawyer...!)

Phoenix:

(I guess I've asked all

the questions I need to.)

Gumshoe:

You all done, pal?

Phoenix:

Um, yes, thank you.

I'll be heading out now.

Gumshoe:

Oh, wait.

Gumshoe:

One more thing I wanted

to mention to you.

Gumshoe:

I don't suppose you're

planning on talking to

that witness.

Gumshoe:

Anyway, you'd better not!

Gumshoe:

No influencing the witness

with your lawyerly ways, pal!

Phoenix:

...

Phoenix:

(Come to think of it, I had

completely forgotten about

her...)/span>

Phoenix:

The... witness?

Gumshoe:

Yeah, Miss April May.

Gumshoe:

I'm sorry 'bout this...

Gumshoe:

But I can't tell you

anything about her!

Phoenix:

(Well, you just told me

her name, Miss May, huh?)

Phoenix:

So you've sent her

home already, then?

Gumshoe:

Ahah! You're trying your

lawyerly tricks on me now!

Gumshoe:

She's not to go outside her

room until the trial!

Phoenix:

(So... she's still in the

hotel across the way.)

Phoenix:

I guess I should no better

than to try to get a

detective to leak information.

Gumshoe:

You got that right, pal!

Phoenix:

((Time to pay a visit

to Miss May!)

September 6

Grossberg Law Offices

Phoenix:

(According to the

receptionist, the

big boss is "out.")

Phoenix:

(She couldn't say

when he'd be back.)

Phoenix:

(It must be hard to keep

a track of everything when

you're a famous lawyer...)

Phoenix:

(Not to mention run an

office like this.)

Phoenix:

(I guess I'll just have

to come back later.)

Maya:

Hey!

Maya:

What is it? Did you

meet the lawyer?

Phoenix:

Sorry.

Phoenix:

I haven't seen him yet.

Maya:

I see...

Phoenix:

(Hmm. I'd better go see

if I can find this elite

lawyer she's talking about.)

September 6 Gatewater Hotel - Room 303

April:

Well!

Hello there, handsome.

Phoenix:

Umm... hi.

(Smooth, Wright, real smooth.)

April:

You're the lawyer, aren't you?

The detective told me...

April:

He said, "Don't say nothing

to that lawyer, pal!" Tee hee!

Phoenix:

(Memo to self: thank

Detective Gumshoe for

making my job harder.)

April:

Gee! This is all like

something out of a movie!

April:

It's all so exciting

I can hardly contain

myself!

April:

Ooh! Let me go freshen up

so I can look the part of

the beautiful eyewitness!

Phoenix:

(I pity the lawyer that

has to cross-examine

this one.)

Phoenix:

(Hmm... seems like Mr.

Grossberg is out.)

Phoenix:

(Well, maybe I should

just wait here for him

to come back.)

???:


 * Ah-HHHHEM!*

Phoenix:

(If that wasn't the most

over-the-top clearing of the

throat I've ever heard!)

Grossberg:

Ah hah! So, you're the

one they say has been

looking for me?

Phoenix:

Uh... y-yes, that's me!

(He looks even... grander

than I imagined!)

Grossberg:

Hmm...? That badge

on your collar...?

Grossberg:

Ah, so you're a lawyer,

are you now?

Phoenix:

Y-yes, well... yes.

Grossberg:

And what do you want?

Grossberg: I'm not particularly busy

these days... Please, proceed!

Phoenix:

(Not busy...? Then how come

no one could get in touch

with you?)

Grossberg:

Hmm? Something the matter?

Grossberg:

You came to see the

one-and-only Marvin

Grossberg, did you not?

Grossberg:

Well, here I am, boy!

What do you want?

Out with it!

Phoenix:

Um... w-well, sir, actually

it's about Maya. Maya Fey.

Grossberg:

...!

Grossberg:

Ah... yes. Maya Fey.

Go on.

Phoenix:

(Hmm?

Why the strange reaction?)

Grossberg:

A-cha-cha.

Grossberg:

I'm really quite

busy here, son.

Grossberg:

I can't go taking cases

on a day's notice!

No, it's quite impossible.

Phoenix:

W-wait a second!

Phoenix:

How did you know the

trial was tomorrow!?

Grossberg:

Urk? Ahem!

Grossberg:

A-anyway...

Grossberg:

I'm afraid it's entirely

impossible for me to represent

her. Sorry. End of discussion.

Phoenix:

(What's going on!? He refused

me before I even got a chance

to ask him!)

Phoenix:

(What do I tell Maya...?)

Phoenix:

...

Phoenix:

(Looks like Detective

Gumshoe has gone home.)

Phoenix:

(The police are still keeping

themselves busy in the

chief's office.)

Phoenix:

(No one has time to talk

to me. Guess I'll head out.)

September 6, 3:42 PM Detention Center Visitor's Room

Phoenix:

Hiya.

Maya:

Oh!

You're back!

Maya:

Did you find the lawyer?

Phoenix:

Um... well...

(What do I tell her?)

Phoenix:

Well, see...

(Just be honest!)

Phoenix:

I... I really don't think

you should use that guy.

Phoenix:

He... didn't seem healthy.

He was all skin and bones!

Maya:

...

Maya:

What really happened?

Phoenix:

...

Maya:

You don't mean...

He refused to help?

Phoenix:

Urp.

Maya:

...

Maya:

I see.

Maya:

I've been abandoned, then.

Maya:

Just a little longer now

before the state-appointed

lawyer comes, I guess...

Phoenix:

...

Phoenix:

(4:00 PM. Time's up.)

Phoenix:

(What should I do?)

Phoenix:

(Do I just leave her

and go home...?)

Phoenix:

I've made up my mind!

Phoenix:

I'm going to defend you

whether you want me to

or not!

Maya:

!

Maya:

Why?

Phoenix:

Why? Well...

Phoenix:

(I know... I've been there.

A long time ago.)

Phoenix:

(Why did I become a lawyer

in the first place...?)

Phoenix:

(Because someone has to look

out for the people who have

no one on their side.)

Phoenix:

Maya...

Phoenix:

I won't abandon you.

You can count on me.

Maya:

...

Maya:

That's so kind of you...

Maya:


 * sniff*...

Maya:

...

Phoenix:

Well!

Phoenix:

Let's fight this one

and get you out of here!

Maya:

R-right!

Thank you!

Phoenix:

(Whew, she smiled at last.

She looks like an entirely

different person!)

Phoenix:

One last question...

You are innocent, right?

Maya:

Yes!

Maya:

And I trust you...

Maya:

So you trust me,

too, okay?

Phoenix:

It's a deal.

Phoenix:

(So, what next...)

Phoenix:

(There's something that's

been bugging me...)

Phoenix:

(Just what was inside

that strange woman's

drawer?)

Phoenix:

(It was when I tried to

look into the drawer that

she got all defensive.)

Phoenix:

(There has to be

something in there!)

Bellboy:

Good afternoon, sir!

Phoenix:

Excuse me, you are...?

Bellboy:

Ah, I beg your pardon, sir!

Bellboy:

I am the bellboy of

this establishment,

at your service, sir.

Phoenix:

Oh, right.

Bellboy:

I've just come up to

deliver room service, sir.

Phoenix:

Um... do you know where

Miss May might be?

Bellboy:

Ah. I believe our guest

Miss May is currently using

the, er, facilities...?

Bellboy:

If you've no need of

anything, I'll be

taking my leave.

Bellboy:

Please, stay as long as you

like. Enjoy...

Phoenix:

Yeah...

Phoenix:

Wait... no! Hey!

Phoenix:

...

Phoenix:

(Why does it seem like every

time I come here, I end up

embarrassing myself?)

Phoenix:

(... now's my chance

to snoop around a bit!)

Bellboy:

Ah, I almost forgot!

Phoenix:

Gah!

Y-you came back quick!

Bellboy:

Might I ask you to inform

Miss May that there is a

message for her?

Bellboy:

Please tell her that

Mr. White, of Bluecorp phoned.

Phoenix:

Oh, right. Sure.

Phoenix:

(Mr. White... of Bluecorp?

Where have I heard that name?)

Maya:

White...

Maya:

That was his name.

My sister told me.

Phoenix:

("White" was the name of the

guy who ruined Mia and

Maya's mother!)

Phoenix:

(Could it be a coincidence?)

Phoenix:

There is definitely

something suspicious

about this "Miss May"!

Phoenix:

Why would she have something

like this in her hotel room?

Phoenix:

There's a story behind all

this, I know it!

Phoenix:

Alright...

Phoenix:

I'll be using this bit of

evidence in tomorrow's

trial, that's for sure.

Phoenix:

For Maya's sake...

Phoenix:

I'll get to this woman's

bottom! Wait... I mean

... you know what I mean.

April:

Oh, bellboy...?

Still there?

Phoenix:

(Uh oh, time to scram!)

Phoenix:

(I look forward to tangoing

with you tomorrow, Miss May!)

Phoenix:

(In court!)

TO BE CONTINUED...

September 7, 10:00 AM

District Court

Courtroom No. 1

Judge:

The court is now in session

for the trial of Ms. Maya Fey.

Edgeworth:

The prosecution is

ready, Your Honor.

Phoenix:

The defense

is ready, Your Honor.

Phoenix:

(Miles Edgeworth...)

Phoenix:

(I'd better not show any signs

of weakness today, or he'll

be on me in an instant.)

Judge:

Mr. Edgeworth.

Please give the court

your opening statement.

Edgeworth:

Thank you, Your Honor.

The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,

was at the scene of the crime.

Edgeworth:

The prosecution has evidence

she committed this murder...

Edgeworth:

and we have a witness

who saw her do it.

Edgeworth:

The prosecution sees no

reason to doubt the facts

of this case, Your Honor.

Judge:

I see.

Judge:

Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.

Let's begin then.

Edgeworth:

You may call your

first witness.

Edgeworth:

The prosecution calls the

chief officer at the scene,

Detective Gumshoe!

Edgeworth:

Witness, please state your

name and profession to

the court.

Gumshoe:

Sir!

Gumshoe:

My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir!

Gumshoe:

I'm the detective in

charge of homicides

down at the precinct, sir!

Edgeworth:

Detective Gumshoe.

Edgeworth:

Please, describe for us

the details of this murder.

Gumshoe:

Very well, sir!

Let me use this floor map

of the office to explain.

Gumshoe:

The body was found by

this window, here.

Edgeworth:

And the cause of death?

Gumshoe:

Loss of blood due to being

struck by a blunt object, sir!

Gumshoe:

The murder weapon was a statue

of "The Thinker" found next

to the body, sir!

Gumshoe:

It was heavy enough to

be a deadly weapon, even

in a girl's hands, sir!

Judge:

The court accepts the

statue as evidence.

Phoenix:

(They're still calling

it a "statue"...)

Floor plans added to

the Court Record.

Edgeworth:

Now, Detective...

Gumshoe:

Y-yes sir!

Edgeworth:

You immediately arrested

Ms. Maya Fey, who was found

at the scene, correct?

Edgeworth:

Can you tell me why?

Gumshoe:

Yes sir!

I had hard evidence

she did it, sir!

Judge:

Hmm.

Detective Gumshoe,

Judge:

Please testify to the court

about this "hard evidence."

Witness Testimony

Testimony

- - Maya Fey's Arrest - -

Gumshoe:

As soon as the phone call came

in, I rushed to the scene!

Gumshoe:

There were two people

there already:

Gumshoe:

The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,

and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix

Wright.

Gumshoe:

I immediately arrested

Ms. Maya Fey!

Gumshoe:

Why? We had a witness

account describing her!

Gumshoe:

The witness saw Ms. Maya

Fey at the very moment of

the murder!

Judge:

Hmm...

The very moment, you say.

Judge:

Very well. Mr. Wright,

you may begin your

cross-examination.

Phoenix:

Y-yes, Your Honor.

Phoenix:

(Cross-examine what...?)

Phoenix:

(I couldn't see a single

contradiction in that

testimony...)

...whoosh...

SMACK!

Phoenix:

(Hey! Maya just threw

something at me...)

Phoenix:

(What's this?)

Phoenix:

("When my sister couldn't

find any contradictions

in a witness's testimony")

Phoenix:

("she would bluff it and

press the witness on

every detail!")

Phoenix:

("The witness always slips

up and says something

wrong...")

Phoenix:

("It worked lots of times!")

Phoenix:

(Heh... I should have expected

Maya would know some of

her sister's tricks!)

Phoenix:

(Alright.

Let's give this a try!)

Judge:

Something the matter?

Phoenix:

No, Your Honor.

I'd like to begin my

cross-examination.

Cross Examination

- - Witness's Account - -

Gumshoe:

As soon as the phone call came

in, I rushed to the scene!

Gumshoe:

There were two people

there already:

Gumshoe:

The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,

and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix

Wright.

Gumshoe:

I immediately arrested Ms. Maya Fey!!

Gumshoe:

I immediately arrested

Ms. Maya Fey!!

Gumshoe:

The witness saw Ms. Maya

Fey at the very moment of

the murder!

Phoenix:

(I can't see a single

contradiction in there!)

Phoenix:

(I'll just have to take

Maya's advice and press

him on anything suspicious!)

Phoenix:

Hold on just one second!

Gumshoe:

Y-yeah?

Phoenix:

If I heard correctly...

Phoenix:

You said you arrested her

because you had "hard

evidence" she did it, correct?

Gumshoe:

Huh?

Gumshoe:

Did... did I say that? Me?

Phoenix:

I heard you say it!

Judge:

You did say it.

Edgeworth:

You said it.

Phoenix:

Exactly what about this

suspicious woman in pink's

claim was "hard evidence"!?

Gumshoe:

Wh-what!?

Gumshoe:

Miss May isn't suspicious,

and she sure isn't pink, pal!

Gumshoe:

W-well, I guess she

is pink...

Judge:

That's enough,

Detective Gumshoe.

Judge:

Do you have any more

solid proof other than

her claims, Detective?

Gumshoe:

Umm...

Phoenix:

(Hmm! I guess pressing

can have its advantages!)

Gumshoe:

...

Gumshoe:

Yes.

Phoenix:

(Gah!)

Gumshoe:

Sorry, I got the order

of things mixed up in my

testimony, Your Honor Sir!

Gumshoe:

There was something I

should have told you

about first, Your Honor!

Judge:

Very well, Detective. Let's

hear your testimony again.

Witness Testimony

Testimony

- - Hard Evidence - -

Gumshoe:

After securing the suspect,

I examined the scene of

the crime with my own eyes.

Gumshoe:

I found a memo written on

a piece of paper next to

the victim's body!

Gumshoe:

On it, the word "Maya"

was written clearly in blood!

Gumshoe:

Lab test results showed that

the blood was the victim's!

Gumshoe:

Also, there was blood found

on the victim's finger!

Gumshoe:

Before she died, the victim

wrote the killer's name!

Gumshoe:

How you like that?

That's my "hard evidence"!

Judge:

Hmm...

Judge:

Before we begin cross-

examination, I have a

question for you, Detective.

Gumshoe:

Y-Your Honor?

Judge:

Why didn't you testify about

this vital piece of evidence

the first time!?

Gumshoe:

Ah... eh... I know. I'm real

embarrassed I forgot about

it, Your Honor Sir.

Judge:

Try to be more careful!

Judge:

Very well, the defense may

begin its cross-examination.

Cross Examination

- - Witness's Account - -

Gumshoe:

After securing the suspect,

I examined the scene of

the crime with my own eyes.

Gumshoe:

I found a memo written on

a piece of paper next to

the victim's body!

Gumshoe:

On it, the word "Maya"

was written clearly in blood!

Gumshoe:

Lab test results showed that

the blood was the victim's!

Gumshoe:

Also, there was blood found

on the victim's finger!

Gumshoe:

Before she died, the victim wrote the killer's name!

Phoenix:

(That's his whole

testimony...)

Phoenix:

(Okay, there has to be

a contradiction in there

somewhere. Let's find it!)

Phoenix:

Detective Gumshoe!

Phoenix:

There's one thing I

want you to clarify

for me here.

Phoenix:

You say that the victim,

Mia Fey, wrote this note.

Phoenix:

That she was accusing

the defendant, Maya Fey?

Phoenix:

That's really what

you're saying?

Gumshoe:

Wh-what? This isn't one

of those lawyer tricks,

now, is it?

Gumshoe:

Of course she wrote it!

Who else could have!?

Phoenix:

You have it backwards,

Detective.

Gumshoe:

B-backwards?

Phoenix:

The victim is the only

person who absolutely

could NOT have written t!

Phoenix:

This is a report from

your department, Detective.

Phoenix:

"Immediate death due to a blow

from a blunt object."

Phoenix:

She died immediately!

Gumshoe:

But...!

Phoenix:

No "but"-ing your way

out of this one, Detective!

Judge:

Order! Order!

Judge:

The defense has a point.

Judge:

Someone who died immediately

wouldn't have the time to

write anything down.

Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:

Mr. Wright.

Edgeworth:

I beg your pardon, but when

exactly did you obtain that

autopsy report?

Phoenix:

Wh-when...!?

Judge:

The prosecution's point

being...?

Edgeworth:

That autopsy report

is outdated, Your Honor.

Phoenix:

Wh-what!?

Edgeworth:

A second autopsy was

performed yesterday,

at my request!

Edgeworth:

"Death was almost immediate

due to a blow from a

blunt object..."

Edgeworth:

"But there is a possibility

the victim lived for several

minutes after the blow."

Edgeworth:

I received these results

this morning.

Phoenix:

N-no way!

Edgeworth:

Your Honor!

Edgeworth:

It's quite easy to imagine

that the victim did have

time to write "Maya"!

Edgeworth:

That is all.

Judge:

I see!

Phoenix:

(Damn you, Edgeworth!)

Phoenix:

(I should have known

you'd have something

up your sleeve!)

Edgeworth:

Why, Mr. Wright,

you look shocked!

Edgeworth:

Something you want to say?

Edgeworth:

Your Honor, I submit this

report to the court.

Judge:

U-understood. The court

accepts the evidence.

Autopsy Report updated

in the Court Record.

Edgeworth:

Well, Your Honor?

Edgeworth:

The evidence strongly suggests

the victim was identifying

the killer.

Judge:

I suppose that's the

obvious conclusion, yes.

Phoenix:

(Darn! This isn't good!)

Edgeworth:

The prosecution would like

to call its next witness.

Edgeworth:

This poor, innocent girl saw

the murder with her own eyes!

Judge:

Let the witness Miss April

May take the stand.

Phoenix:

(Exactly what part of her

is "innocent"...?)

Edgeworth:

Witness, your name, please.

April:

April May!

At your service! *wink*

Judge:

Order! An introduction should

not require any reaction

from the crowd!

Judge:

The witness will refrain

from wonton winking!

April:

Aww...

Yes, Your Honor.

Phoenix:

(This is not good...)

Phoenix:

(She's already captured

the heart of every man

in the court!)

Edgeworth:

Tell us, where were you on

the night of September 5,

when the murder occurred?

April:

Um... gee... I was, like,

in my hotel room? Tee hee.

April:

I checked in right

after lunch.

Edgeworth:

And this hotel is directly

across from the Fey & Co.

Law Offices?

April:

Mmm... that's right, big boy.

Judge:

Please testify to the court

about what you saw.

Witness Testimony

Testimony

- - Witness's Account - -

April: It was, like, 9:00 at night. I looked out the window, y'know!

April: And then, oooh! I saw a woman with long hair being attacked!

April: The one attacking her was the mousey girl sitting in the defendant's chair!

April: Then the woman, like, dodged to one side and ran away!

April: But that girl, she caught up to her and... and... She hit her!

April: Then the woman with long hair...

April:<br/ > She kinda... slumped.

April:<br/ > The end. That's all I saw.<br/ > Every little bitsy witsy!


 * wink*

Judge:<br/ > Hmm...

Edgeworth:<br/ > Well, Your Honor?

Judge:<br/ > I see. It is a remarkably<br/ > solid testimony.

Judge:<br/ > I don't see a need to<br/ > trouble the witness any...

Phoenix:<br/ > W-wait, Your Honor!

Judge:<br/ > Yes, Mr. Wright?

Phoenix:<br/ > What about my cross-<br/ > examination!?

Judge:<br/ > I thought the witness's<br/ > testimony just now was<br/ > quite... firm. Didn't you?

Edgeworth:<br/ > Mr. Wright... I understand<br/ > you were Ms. Mia Fey's<br/ > understudy, were you not?

Edgeworth:<br/ > You must know her<br/ > techniques well.

Edgeworth:<br/ > Her cowardly way of finding<br/ > tiny faults in perfectly<br/ > good testimonies...

Phoenix:<br/ > H-hey! How dare you!

Judge:<br/ > Well, Mr. Wright?<br/ > Will you cross-examine

the witness?

Judge:

Very well, you may begin

your cross-examination!

Phoenix:

(There's got to be something

in there somewhere!)

Phoenix:

(Maybe I'd better just press

her on the facts a bit!)

Phoenix:

Hold on a minute!

That testimony stinks!

April:

W-what!?

Phoenix:

Miss May, I'm willing

to bet that...

April:

Urp!

Judge:

Mr. Wright!

What's the meaning of this?

April:

Yes, what is the meaning!

Somebody tell me because I'm

clueless! About this, I mean!

Phoenix:

Okay...

Phoenix:

If you had really witnessed

my client, Maya Fey...

Phoenix:

You would have noticed her

clothes before noticing her

physique!

April:

...!

Phoenix:

No one wears clothes

like this on a daily

basis! Except her!

Phoenix:

And I'm no expert on fashion,

but her hairdo looks far from

normal to me!

Phoenix:

However, the witness's

testimony mentions neither

of these things!

Phoenix:

The testimony is bogus!

April:

But... but!

Judge:

Still, we don't know if

she was dressed that way

the night of the murder...

Phoenix:

She was, Your Honor!

Phoenix:

I saw her.

Phoenix:

And so did Detective Gumshoe!

Phoenix:

What do you say to that,

Miss May?

April:

Rowr!

What are you trying to say,

you mean lawyer!

April:

I-I saw what I saw.

April:

I... just didn't think all

the trifling little details

were necessary, darling.

Judge:

Miss May.

Judge:

The court would like to remind

you to please omit nothing

in your testimony.

April:

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

I'll be a good girl.

I promise. *wink*

if you would.

the kinda statue-y clock?

Well? Does the accuracy of

(Her previous testimony must

Phoenix:

(So this was the testimony

in her own words...?)

Phoenix:

(Time to press and squeeze

the truth out of her!

Figuratively, of course.)

Phoenix:

Miss May.

Phoenix:

What you said just now

was quite... revealing.

April:

Revealing? Oooh, you'd

like that, wouldn't you.

Naughty Mr. Lawyer...

Phoenix:

You just said that this

statue of "The Thinker"

was a clock.

Phoenix:

But there's no way of

knowing that just by

looking at it!

April:

Urp!

Phoenix:

Another person in much the

same position as you recently

called this a "clock," too...

Phoenix:

And he was found

guilty... of murder!

Judge:

Order! Order!

Phoenix:

Miss May. Can you explain

how you know this was a clock?

April:

Oooh... urp!

Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:

The witness saw the murder

with her own eyes! That's

all that's important here!

Edgeworth:

The defense is trying to

confuse the issue with

trivial concerns!

Judge:

Yes... yes, of course.

You will withdraw your

question, Mr. Wright.

Phoenix:

Phoenix:

But questions are all

I have, Your Honor!

Phoenix:

And as you may recall,

I've caught murderers with

these questions before!

Phoenix:

(Well, only once...)

Judge:

...

Judge:

...

Judge:

Objection sustained.

You may continue to question

the witness.

Phoenix:

(Whew, that was close.)

Phoenix:

(If he stopped me there,

the trial would be over!)

April:

Huh? What?

So... what happens now?

Phoenix:

What happens now is you

answer my question! How

did you know it was a clock?

April:

What...! Th-that's...

April:

...Because... I heard it?

April:

Yes! I heard

it say the time!

Phoenix:

So, you've been to the

law offices of Fey & Co.!

April:

N-n-no! Hey, I didn't say

that! Why would I go there!

April:

I heard from my hotel room.

Hee hee!

Edgeworth:

The law offices of Fey & Co.,

where the murder took place,

are very close to the hotel.

Edgeworth:

She could easily have

heard the clock!

Judge:

Hmm. Well, Mr. Wright?

Are you satisfied?

Phoenix:

No, Your Honor!

Phoenix:

(I can't give up now!)

Phoenix:

I'm not satisfied because...

Phoenix:

Your Honor, members

of the court...

Phoenix:

It is inconceivable that

the clock in question rang!

Judge:

This clock is missing

its clockwork!

Judge:

It's quite empty!

Judge:

Mr. Wright!

Judge:

Would you care to explain

to the court the meaning

of this?

Phoenix:

It is as you can see.

Phoenix:

The "clock" was empty.

It couldn't have rung!

Phoenix:

Therefore, this

witness...

Phoenix:

is a big, fat liar!

April:

F-fat!?

Phoenix:

Well, Miss May?

Edgeworth:

Tsk tsk.

Phoenix:

?

Edgeworth:

Quite a show you've

put on for us, Mr. Wright.

Phoenix:

(He knew the clock was empty!

Somehow... he knew!)

Edgeworth:

I'm afraid you've forgotten

one thing, however.

Edgeworth:

Indeed, the clock is empty.

As you say... it can't ring.

Edgeworth:

However, we must ask: when

was the clockwork removed?

Edgeworth:

If it was after the witness

heard the clock, then there

is no contradiction!

Judge:

!

Judge:

Hmm! That's true. That

is a possibility.

Judge:

The clock might have been

emptied after she heard it.

Edgeworth:

And that is exactly what

happened, Your Honor!

Judge:

Well, Mr. Wright?

Judge:

Can you prove when

the clockwork was removed?

Edgeworth:

Ho hoh!

Impossible, of course...

Phoenix:

I have proof.

Edgeworth:

W-what!?

Phoenix:

Wasn't it you who told

me "proof is everything"?

Phoenix:

Well, I was listening.

Phoenix:

And now I'll show you the

"proof" you like so much!

Phoenix:

The evidence that proves

when the clockwork was

removed is...

Phoenix:

Take a look at this!

Judge:

Hmm. That's a very

cute cell phone.

April:

Oooh hoo!

You have a girlie phone!

Phoenix:

W-wait! Wait! This

isn't my phone!

Phoenix:

Listen!

Phoenix:

This is the defendant's

cell phone, and it contains

a recording...

Phoenix:

A recording of a conversation

she had with the victim on

the day of the murder!

Judge:

Order! Order!

Edgeworth:

The defendant's cell phone!?

Th-this wasn't brought

to my attention!

Phoenix:

Perhaps Detective Gumshoe

overlooked it?

Edgeworth:


 * grumble* (The good detective

better remember he's up for

evaluation soon...)

Phoenix:

(My heart goes out

to you, Edgeworth. Not.)

Phoenix:

Let's hear the conversation.

Cellular:


 * beep*

...

Maya:

[So you just want me to

hold on to "The Thinker"

for you, then?]

Mia:

[If you could.]

Mia:

[Ah... I should probably tell

you, the clock isn't talking

right now.]

Maya:

[Huh? It's not working?

That's lame!]

Mia:

[I had to take the

clockwork out, sorry.]

...

[September 5, 9:27 AM]

Cellular:


 * beep*

Phoenix:

Your Honor,

Phoenix:

I think this recording

makes it clear that the

clockwork was already gone...

Phoenix:

and this was recorded in the

morning, before the witness

even arrived at her hotel!

April:

Muh... muh... muh!?

Phoenix:

Well, Miss May?

Would you care to explain

this to the court?

Phoenix:

Just how did you know

that weapon was a clock!?

April:

...

April:

W-well...!

April:

Well, isn't it o-obvious?

April:

I saw that clock before!

April:

Um... what store was that

again? I-I go to so many!

April:

Oops! I forgot!


 * wink*

Judge:

So the witness had seen

it before. That would

make sense.

Judge:

Does the defense have any

objections, Mr. Wright?

Phoenix:

The witness claims she

had "seen it before."

Phoenix:

But this directly contradicts

a piece of evidence already

submitted to this court!

Judge:

Well then, let's see it.

Judge:

Please produce this evidence

that will prove the witness

had not seen the clock before.

Phoenix:

It's simple.

Phoenix:

This clock was never

in any store, ever!

April:

W-whaaat!?

Phoenix:

A friend of mine

made that clock.

Phoenix:

Only two exist in the world.

Phoenix:

And the one that isn't

here is in police custody!

April:

I-impossible!

Everything is sold in stores!

Phoenix:

Miss May, I think it's high

time you went shopping for

a better excuse...?

April:

Mmpf...

Phoenix:

Oh? Excuses not on sale today?

April:

Oooh? Oh ho ho. Mmmrrrrrph!

April:

Ooooorrrrrrr

ggggghhhhhhh... hhh!!!

April:

What's it to you,

porcupine-head!?

April:

That stupid clock

doesn't matter, okay!?

April:

She did it! And she should

die for it! Die!

Judge:

W-w-whoa! Let's not get

ahead of ourselves.

Judge:

T-this is a court of law,

and the witness will

remain calm!

April:

Hrrrgh... hrrrh...

Hrrr... heh. Oh?

April:

Oh! Oh? Oh hoh ho!

S-silly me!


 * grunt*

April:

Did I, um, like... lose it?

April:

I guess I did. Tee hee! *wink*

Phoenix:

(S-scary...)

Judge:

Miss May, let me ask.

Judge:

Tell me, how did you know

the weapon was a clock?

April:

...

Judge:

Hmm... oh dear.

Judge:

Does the defense have an

opinion on this... behavior?

Phoenix:

(Okay, this is it!)

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

Allow me to explain how

I see the truth of the matter.

Phoenix:

Miss April May, you knew the

weapon was a clock because...

Phoenix:

Have a look at this.

April:

Ah! Oooh!

Th-that!? Eh heh...

Phoenix:

I found this in

Miss May's room.

Judge:

Mr. Wright! Please explain

to the court what this is!

Phoenix:

Miss April May?

Phoenix:

You were tapping the victim,

Ms. Mia Fey's phone, were

you not?

April:

Oooh. Oooooh!

Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:

Your Honor,

This is irrelevant!

Judge:

I'm not entirely sure that

it is. Objection overruled.

Judge:

It troubles me that our

witness was in possession

of a wiretap.

Edgeworth:

This is outrageous! Does the

defense truly claim that the

witness was tapping her phone?

Phoenix:

Absolutely!

Edgeworth:

Even if that was the case,

(which it's not) you still

have to prove one thing!

Edgeworth:

Did the victim ever say that

the weapon was a clock on

the phone?

Edgeworth:

Can you prove that?

I THINK NOT!

Phoenix:

Oh yeah? I THINK I CAN!

It's simple!

Edgeworth:

WHAAAAT!?

Phoenix:

Here's my proof.

Phoenix:

The proof that the victim

said, on the phone, that the

weapon was a clock is...

Phoenix:

I present the defendant's

cell phone.

Judge:

Yes, we've seen that.

Phoenix:

Listen once more to the

conversation between the

defendant and the victim.

Cellular:


 * beep*

...

Maya:

[Mia! What's up? You haven't

called in a while.]

Mia:

[Well, actually there's

something I want you to

hold on to for me.]

Maya:

[Again?

What's it this time?]

Mia:

[It's... a clock.]

Mia:

[It's made to look like

that statue, "The Thinker."

And it tells you the time!]

...

Phoenix:

Miss April May!

Phoenix:

You used a wiretap to

listen to this conversation!

Phoenix:

That's how you knew

"The Thinker" was a clock!

Phoenix:

Am I wrong!?

April:

I... I...

Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:

Your Honor, this

is ridiculous!

Phoenix:

Your Honor, look at the

witness's face? Does

she seem amused to you!?

Phoenix:

The defense demands

an answer.

April:

La... laaa... lrrrrgf!

Judge:

Witness, answer the question.

Did you tap her phone?

April:

...

Judge:

Miss May!

April:

Shut up, all of you!

What gives you the right

to talk to ME like that!

April:

You... you LAWYER!

......

April:

I-it's no fair!

All of you g-ganging

up on me like that...

April:

Oh, so I'm the bad girl,

is that it? Is that it!?

April:

Uh... uh... uwaaaaaaah!

Phoenix:

(That did it! The court's seen

the real Miss April May now!)

Phoenix:

(Now to deal the final blow!)

Phoenix:

You can't be serious!

No way!

April:

Way, I say! Way!

Oh, and I assure you

I'm serious, Mr. Lawyer!

April:

Hmph!

April:

Okay? So, the killing happened

around 9:00 at night?

April:

Why, that's just when I was

getting room service from

that sweet bellboy...

Phoenix:

R-room service!?

April:

Ice coffee, I believe it was?

April:

Ice coffee? You know?

Like normal coffee, but COLD.

April:

If you don't drink it quick,

the ice melts and then you

have... regular cold coffee.

Phoenix:

I-ice coffee...!?

April:

Think I'm making this up?

Ask the bellboy! *wink*

Edgeworth:

Ergo, the witness was not

on the scene at the time

of the murder!

Phoenix:

!

Judge:

So, where does

that leave us...?

Edgeworth:

It is my great displeasure

to inform you...

Edgeworth:

That the witness appears to

have been tapping the victim's

telephone.

Edgeworth:

However! That is a separate

crime, with no bearing on

the current case whatsoever!

Edgeworth:

Her testimony stands! She saw

the defendant, Maya Fey,

commit murder!

Phoenix:

(No! They're going to

let her just walk away!)

Phoenix:

(There's no way I can win

this unless I tie Miss May

to the murder somehow...)

Judge:

Well, does the defense

have anything to say?

Phoenix:

Um, well...

(Come on, think of something!)

Judge:

Very well!

Judge:

The court calls the hotel

bellboy to the stand!

Edgeworth:

I believe we're ready

for the witness to testify.

Edgeworth:

He certainly does look

like a bellboy.

Bellboy:

Yes, sir.

Bellboy:

I received your summons in

the middle of work, sir.

I'm happy to be of service.

Judge:

That tea set looks rather

heavy, so without further ado,

Judge:

the witness may begin

his testimony.

Bellboy:

Very good, sir!

Indeed...

Bellboy:

It was the, er, good

barrister there,

Mr. Edgeworth, who...

Phoenix:

!

Bellboy:

He asked me not to mention

it if I wasn't specifically

asked, sir.

Edgeworth:

Oof!

Edgeworth:

Y-you fool!

Phoenix:

I've done it... I've won!

Phoenix:

Miss April May checked into

a twin room... with a man.

Phoenix:

Correct?

Bellboy:

Yes, sir.

Phoenix:

Then, when you brought

them room service,

Phoenix:

you didn't see that

man in the room...?

Bellboy:

That's right, sir.

Judge:

Hmm...

Phoenix:

Your Honor!

Phoenix:

We have just learned of

another person involved who

may have been the murderer!

Phoenix:

In this new light, I hold

that it's impossible to judge

the defendant.

Phoenix:

You agree, Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:

Who! Who is this

"other person"!

Phoenix:

Simple, it was...

Phoenix:

The man who checked in

with Miss May!

Edgeworth:

Oof!

Phoenix:

Your Honor!

Phoenix:

As has been previously

revealed, Miss April May was

tapping the victim's phone.

Phoenix:

Yet Miss May herself has

an alibi at the time of

the murder.

Phoenix:

However, that does not

clear the man that was

with her!

Phoenix:

The bellboy saw no one

else in the room at the

time of the murder!!!

Edgeworth:

M-my, what a convenient

little setup... but it's

too late...

Phoenix:

"Too late"?

Phoenix:

I suppose you'd like it

if it was too late,

wouldn't you...

Phoenix:

After all, it was you who

hid the presence of the

other man from this court!

Edgeworth:

Oof!

Edgeworth:

Upstart... amateur...!

Edgeworth:

T-these accusations are...

ludicrous!

Judge:

Enough!

Judge:

The court acknowledges the

defense's argument.

Judge:

I expect the prosecution

and defense to look into

this matter fully!

Judge:

Am I understood?

Edgeworth:

Yes... *gasp*

Yes, Your Honor.

Judge:

That is all today for the

trial of Maya Fey.

Judge:

Court is adjourned!

September 7, 2:24 PM

District Court

Defendant Lobby No. 1

Maya:

Mr. Wright!

Maya:

You were amazing in there!

Phoenix:

R-really?

Maya:

I think I might be

your newest fan!

Phoenix:

Oh, I was just "doing

my job" you know... heh heh.

Maya:

Then again, that other

attorney was pretty

cool, too...

Phoenix:

Huh?

Maya:

That face of his! With his

eyes wide, and trembling lips!

Maya:

It sent shivers

up my spine!

Phoenix:

Hmm... if you say so.

Maya:

So, what happens with me?

Maya:

Do I get to go home now?

Phoenix:

Well, no.

Phoenix:

I don't think so.

Not yet.

Maya:

Oh... I see.

Phoenix:

But I got a great lead

in today's trial!

Maya:

A "lead"?

Phoenix:

That man with Miss May!

He's the key!

Maya:

Oh! I get it.

Maya:

What happened to Miss May

after that, anyway?

Phoenix:

I heard they arrested her.

I guess she's learning her

charms won't work everywhere.

Phoenix:

She's probably at the

detention center now. I may

have to go down there later.

Phoenix:

Anyway.

Phoenix:

This case is far from closed.

Maya:

Yes sir!

Phoenix:

I'm going to find out

more about this man.

Maya:

Do you think he was

the one who...?

Phoenix:

Maybe so.

Maya:

Sis...

Phoenix:

Don't worry, I'll find

him by tomorrow. I promise.

Maya:

I'm counting on you!

Phoenix:

I asked for a full record of

April May's testimony.

Phoenix:

I thought it might come in

handy during the trial

tomorrow.

Phoenix:

But now that I have it,

I'm not so sure.

Phoenix:

Most of her testimony

was all lies...

Phoenix:

In fact, there's only

one part that got left

on the record.

May Testimony added

to the Court Record.

Phoenix:

I don't know how much

good this will do me

at all, now.

Phoenix:

Anyway, time to hit

the pavement and do

some investigating!

Phoenix:

Maya doesn't belong in that

detention center, and it's

up to me to get her free!

TO BE CONTINUED...

September 7, 3:11 PM

Detention Center

Visitor's Room

April:

Well hello!

April:

I didn't expect anyone to

visit me in such a dank

place as this...

April:

It's really quite... moving.

April:

Not! You stinking lawyer!

I hope you die!

April:

Have you come to laugh?

Yes, laugh at the fallen

Miss May!

Phoenix:

No, not really, there's

something I wanted to ask.

April:

Unfortunately, there is

nothing I want to BE asked.

April:

Haven't you done enough

questioning, you...!

Spiky-head!

Phoenix:

(Here we go again...)

Phoenix:

Please, you're scaring

the security guard.

April:

...

April:

So? What is it you wish

to ask of me, then? Hmm?

Phoenix:

(For starters, how did you

get to be so totally

whacked!?)

September 7

Fey & Co. Law Offices

Phoenix:

Looks like forensics is

taking the day off today.

Phoenix:

Detective Gumshoe's

nowhere in sight.

Phoenix:

The police really gave

this place a working over.

Phoenix:

I doubt there are any

valuable clues left.

Phoenix:

Suppose it can't hurt to

take a look around, though.

September 7

Grossberg Law Offices

Phoenix:

(Huh. Looks like Grossberg

is out today... again.)

Phoenix:

(Maybe he's avoiding

me for some reason?)

September 7

Gatewater Hotel

Bellboy:

Ah, welcome, sir!

Bellboy:

Quite the performance today,

if I dare say so myself.

Phoenix:

Oh, um, thanks.

Phoenix:

Sorry for putting you

on the spot like that.

Bellboy:

No, no, not at all, sir!

Bellboy:

Your efforts today can only

help the Gatewater's "rep,"

as they say.

Phoenix:

Huh? "Rep"?

Bellboy:

Yes! Our reputation will

swell as the hotel where the

murderer used a wiretap!

Bellboy:

We can charge a premium for

the room, of course. It will

be great for business, sir!

Phoenix:

Whoa, whoa! Miss May hasn't

been charged with murder.

Bellboy:

I, too, will become famous!

Bellboy:

"The Bellboy who brought the

murderer ice coffee"...!

Phoenix:

(Why do I feel like we're

both stuck in the same

bad dream...)

Bellboy:

So! You are our honored guest.

Please let me know if there

is anything I can bring you!

Phoenix:

(*sigh* He's out again?)

Phoenix:

(Huh? No more photos

on the desk...)

April:

YOU AGAIN!?

Can't you take a hint

and stay gone?

Phoenix:

Hey, the only reason I'm

back here is because YOU

won't talk to me!

April:

Oh, so it's MY fault now?

April:

You don't just have spiky

hair, you also have a

spiky heart.

Phoenix:

(That does it. When this case

is done I'm shaving my head.)

Phoenix:

Hmm. The bellboy

seems to be out.

Phoenix:

Huh? The sound of water

coming from the shower...

Bellboy:

"La-dee-da! Money-Makin'...

Money-Makin'... I got the

Money-Makin' bluuuues..."

Phoenix:

Someone seems to enjoy

washing the showers.

Phoenix:

(Alright, this is getting

ridiculous. Where the heck

is that loafer?)

Grossberg:


 * Ah-HHHHEM!*

Phoenix:

(Ah, that old familiar

clearing of the throat...)

Grossberg:

Ah hah! You again.

Phoenix:

Um, hello, Mr. Grossberg.

Grossberg:

...

Grossberg:

Well, well.

Grossberg:

You were quite the

thing, my boy.

Phoenix:

Excuse me...?

Grossberg:

The trial! The trial!

Phoenix:

(He was there...?)

Grossberg:

Reminded me of myself

when I was a youth!

Phoenix:

(I guess something got passed

down through Mia... maybe?)

Grossberg:

It brings back

memories, it does!

Grossberg:

"Ah... the days of my youth...

like the scent of fresh

lemon..." you see.

Grossberg:

...

Grossberg:

I apologize.

Phoenix:

?

Grossberg:

I... It was all a bit

too much for me, my boy.

Grossberg:

Seeing you today,

I... well, I...

Grossberg:

...

Phoenix:

(I appreciate the reminiscing,

but I'd much rather you gave

me some information!)
