Turnabout Corner - Transcript - Part 1



Episode 2 Turnabout Corner

As long as we draw breath, the Wheel of Fate turns...

Spinning big crimes and little crimes together.

And when the Wheel stops...

You die.

June 15, 9:12 AM Wright & Co. Law Offices

Apollo:

(Two months have passed since Mr. Gavin's arrest. My first trial, and I lost both my mentor and my job. Yeah, I'll admit it. I was screwed. But even when I hit bottom, I told myself I'd never come here. Honest. Here being the legendary Wright & Co. Law Offices . OK, Justice, time to stop trembling.)

???:

Ah! You must be here for the interview. Right this way.

Apollo:

Huh?

???:

Hello there! You've found the Wright place! Welcome!

Apollo:

Uh... Ah... (What's with this girl!?)

???:

Well now, shall we begin?

Apollo:

Begin... what?

???:

Right, first things first... Any special talents?

Apollo:

Erm, talents?

???:

Yes, well, you must have at least one!

Apollo:

Well... Uh... I guess... Defending?

???:

"Defending"... An unusual talent, but it'll do. With a little jazzing up, of course.

Apollo:

Y-You think so...?

???:

Let's give it a go, shall we?

Apollo:

Huh?

???:

Go ahead! Show me! Defend! Just give it all you've got. Don't hold back now!

Apollo:

Wh-What are you talking about? I can't just "defend" here!

???:

First lesson: A professional can perform anywhere!

Apollo:

...Thanks.

???:

We want people to be laughing with us... ...not at us!

Apollo:

...Thanks. But I'm not sure why they should be laughing at all.

???:

What...? What exactly do you think you came here to do?

Apollo:

What? Um, defend... No?

???:

... Excuse me, but do you know where you are?

Apollo:

Huh!? The Wright & Co. Law Offices, right?

???:

...Oh. I was afraid of that. Don't worry, you're not the first.

Apollo:

Look, what's going on here? Who are you? I came here to meet with the person in charge...

???:

Well, you've apparently made no fewer than two mistakes.

Apollo:

Mistakes? But I got a call from Mr. Wright this morning!

???:

Perhaps you should go read the sign out front again?

Apollo:

What's there to read!? Look, it says right there... ...Oh. Why does it say "Wright Talent Agency"...?

Trucy:

Welcome to the Wright Talent Agency, where you've "always come to the Wright place!" I'm Trucy Wright, CEO. I'm a magician.

Apollo:

(It all came flooding back... The trial... That girl...)

???:

Hello, sir. Please, pick a card.

Phoenix:

That's right. She's my daughter.

Apollo:

Trucy... Wright.

Trucy:

Here, check out our flyer! So... what's your name?

Apollo:

Apollo... Apollo Justice, attorney at law.

(Clearing all "Talk" options leads to:)

Apollo:

OK... Which hospital is Mr. Wright in? I'll pay him a visit.

Trucy:

Oh, the Hickfield Clinic. It's quite close.

Apollo:

Right. Well, I'll be going now. And I'll, uh... give this showbiz gig some thought, OK?

Trucy:

Wait! I'll go with you!

June 15, 9:45 AM Hickfield Clinic

Apollo:

(So... this is Mr. Wright's hospital...)

???:

Eh? Visitors are ya? Hrmm?

Apollo:

Uh, yeah. Are you the... doctor?

Hickfield:

Ayup. Dr. Hickfield's the name. Eh he he.

Trucy:

Good morning, Doctor!

Hickfield:

Oh, hiya there, Trucy. Cute as ever! Eh he he.

Trucy:

Is... this Daddy's room?

Hickfield:

Oh yah. 'Cept he's gone for a mornin' checkup. Be back soon. How're you, Miss Trucy? Got any places you'd like... examined? Eh heh...

Phoenix:

Doctor... the nurse was looking for you.

Hickfield:

Why, if it isn't the Daddy o' the cutest lil' thing in town! Hrm. Hrmm. Guess I'll be off then. Eh he? Later, Trucy.

Apollo:

Wow, what an odd bird that guy was.

Phoenix:

Good morning. Didn't expect you so soon, Apollo.

Apollo:

Mr. Wright...

June 15, 10:05 AM Wright Talent Agency

???:

Hey hey hey! How long you planning on making me wait, eh!?

Trucy:

Ah! Good morning!

???:

Hey there, Trucy-doll. Sounds like your pops had a bit of a rough spot, eh?

Trucy:

All's well that ends well, I guess...

Apollo:

(This... is our client?)

???:

Hey! So this is that Pollo fellow, eh?

Apollo:

Oh, uh, y-yes? (The name's "Apollo".)

???:

Look at 'im there, arms all crossed-like. Ready to fight!

Apollo:

Yes, sir! ...You don't mean that literally, do you?

???:

The boss told you what I need, right? Don't let me down now, Pollo!

Apollo:

Don't worry about your defense sir, I'm on it!

???:

Defense...? Your noodle half-cooked? It's too late for defense! My castle's been stormed! My keep's been kept! My noodle stand's been stolen!

Apollo:

N-Noodle...?

Trucy:

You know Mr. Eldoon from the noodle stand, don'cha, Polly?

Apollo:

No nicknames, please. And no, of course I don't know him!

???:

You new in these parts?

Apollo:

Not really...

???:

Then you know the best noodles in town: Eldoon's Noodles !

Apollo:

Uh, whose noodles?

???:

My noodles! Er, help me out here, Trucy-doll.

Trucy:

This is Mr. Guy Eldoon... our client! Maybe you can tell us what the problem is, Mr. Eldoon?

Guy:

Anything for you, Trucy-doll!

Guy:

I'll be headin' home now. Remember, find my stand or there's an empty bowl in yer future, Pollo!

Apollo:

Er, right.

Guy:

And you help out Trucy-doll here, too, y'hear?

Trucy:

Things have certainly picked up, haven't they! We had no work yesterday, and now we have three cases!

Apollo:

I... I guess.

Trucy:

Let's see where we stand!

Apollo:

(Not in a courtroom, that's where.) Well, the first item on our list...

Trucy:

Phoenix Wright... Daddy's hit and run accident. We have to find the one who hit him!

Apollo:

...Who's going to pay us for this again?

Trucy:

And the second item... Mr. Eldoon's request.. to find his stolen stand.

Apollo:

For which we stand to gain... a bowl of salty noodles...

Trucy:

And the last request is mine! To find my stolen panties !

Apollo:

...That bowl of noodles is looking better and better.

Trucy:

Let's go, Polly! To the streets!

Apollo:

Aren't you enthusiastic.

Trucy:

How could I not be!? Let's crack these cases, you and me!

Apollo:

(*sigh* Guess we might as well get started... Let's see. A hit and run ... a stolen stand ... And last but not least... stolen panties .)

June 15 Hickfield Clinic

Apollo:

Huh? Mr. Wright's gone.

Trucy:

Maybe he's gone for an examination?

Apollo:

He'll probably be back soon. Let's wait.

Trucy:

I think it might take some time. Daddy always loves his examinations!

Apollo:

(Don't ask, Justice. You don't want to know.)

Trucy:

Why don't we come back later?

Apollo:

Yeah, I guess you're right.

June 15 Accident Scene

Apollo:

So this is where Mr. Wright got hit by that car?

Trucy:

According to the map, this is the place!

Apollo:

What a huge mansion... Feels like Chinatown.

Trucy:

Apollo! There's a nice-looking lady over there. Let's question her!

Apollo:

Um, OK. (I'm a little curious about the park over there, too...)

Trucy:

Excuse me! Um, can we have a few words with you?

???:

You want something?

Apollo:

(Whoa! That husky voice... Why am I suddenly sweating?)

Trucy:

That's quite a house you've got there! You must have a lot of money...

???:

Whoooh. "Money" sounds like something my son would call his friends. This is the Kitaki Family mansion, little girl.

Apollo:

Eh.

???:

You, kid with the hair. You want something?

Apollo:

Urk! M-M-Me? No, not a thing! Bye!

Trucy:

Apollo! We can't leave without questioning her! What if she knows something!

Apollo:

B-But th-the Kitaki Family...! (They're the biggest organized crime syndicate in town!)

???:

If you're going to ask something, ask it. If you're man enough.

Apollo:

Waaaaugh! R-Right!

Trucy:

Yay! Way to whip him into shape, ma'am!

Apollo:

(Does she know no fear!?)

Plum:

I'm Plum. Plum Kitaki. Wife of the fourth head of the Kitaki Family business. Friends call me Little Plum.

Apollo:

I-I'm l-little Apollo Justice, attorney at law. *gulp* (If looks could kill, this woman would be a mass-murderer by now...)

(Switching to People Park view leads to:)

Apollo:

Who's that!? She's looking at the park.

Trucy:

She's pretty. I bet she has a story, you know?

Apollo:

(There is something about her... Too bad she seems to be in a bit of a rush.)

(Clearing all "Talk" options leads to:)

???:

...

Apollo:

(...That girl from before!)

Plum:

Oh! Welcome home, sweetie.

???:

Ah, uh... hello, m-mother.

Apollo:

(She's a Kitaki, too!?)

Trucy:

Uh, um, Miss! Miss!

???:

...?

Trucy:

Here, our flyer.

???:

The... Wright Anything Agency?

Apollo:

A-Anything Agency?

Trucy:

Yeah! Do you like the new flyer? So, um, this is our defense attorney, Mr. Apollo Justice!

???:

Attorney...?

Trucy:

Drop by our office! We'll be waiting!

???:

Ah... Good-bye.

Apollo:

Why did you give her our flyer?

Trucy:

I dunno. She seemed like she could use some help.

Apollo:

She's the heiress to a gangster dynasty! She doesn't need our help!

Trucy:

...I wouldn't be so sure!

Apollo:

...?

June 15 Scene of the Stand Theft

Apollo:

So... what's this place?

Trucy:

This would be Mr. Eldoon's house, silly.

Apollo:

Oh, so this is where his stand was stolen from. I can see a piece of evidence lying on the ground already.

Trucy:

...Hey! Look, there's a police car parked over there.

Apollo:

You're right... What's with the sparkly... entrance? What is this place? A hospital? There's a sign... "Meraktis Clinic".

Trucy:

Hmm... Oh! That's where the thief went!

Apollo:

The thief...?

Trucy:

The one who snatcked my panties! He ran into this clinic last night! Wait, maybe that police car is here to find my panties!

Apollo:

I doubt it.

Trucy:

Well, there's only one way to be sure! Let's investigate!

Guy:

Ah, there you are, sonny! Well, you find anything yet!?

Apollo:

Er, um, no. Not yet.

Guy:

The longer you loaf around here the saltier your victory bowl gets, just remember that!

Apollo:

(This bowl of noodles is sounding less like payment and more like punishment...)

(Examining tailpipe first or second leads to:)

Apollo:

(Something tells me we're not finished searching this garage, anyway...)

(Examining cell phone, tailpipe, and mirror leads to:)

Trucy:

Apollo!

Apollo:

Huh? What is it?

Trucy:

Now that we've solved this case, we should go report to Daddy! He'll mope if we leave him alone too long, knowing him.

Apollo:

Um, OK. ...He doesn't seem the type to mope, though. (And this is hardly a case worth reporting...)

June 15 Hickfield Clinic

Phoenix:

Yo! How goes it?

Trucy:

Daddy! How do you feel?

Phoenix:

Not bad, Trucy, not bad. It's good to have you young'uns on the case. Lets ol' Daddy-o get some well-deserved R&R.

Trucy:

The elderly need their rest!

Apollo:

(Uh... isn't he only 33?) ...Um, we've cleared up most of the cases...

Phoenix:

I was right about you. Competent. Capable. Tell me what you found out. If you want to.

Apollo:

(Your enthusiasm is over-whelming...)

(Clearing all "Talk" options leads to:)

Phoenix:

...Thanks, really. If I get tired of sleeping, maybe I'll head down to this Meraktis place. Maybe hit 'em up for some reparations... A little legal action would do me some good.

Apollo:

Um... I was wondering when I get paid? We solved the case of your accident, and um, found a missing article of clothing.

Trucy:

My panties!

Phoenix:

That leaves the noodle stand.

Apollo:

Eh.

Phoenix:

Feel free to drop in if you get stuck. I'd be happy to help with anything not involving money.

Apollo:

(Good-bye, quid pro quo. Hello pro bono. *sigh*)

Trucy:

Right! Back to the office to plan our next move!

(If Phoenix Wright is present at Hickfield Clinic)

June 15 Kitaki Mansion

Trucy:

Little Plum's not here. She's not finished cleaning, huh.

Apollo:

Maybe she went to get a paint scraper?

Plum:

OK! Who's the wise guy who spit gum out on the street!?

Apollo:

(Her voice carries all the way out to the street from inside the mansion...)

Trucy:

She's a neat freak! How cute!

Plum:

You there! It was you, wasn't it!? Fess up! I hope you've said your prayers. You're gonna need them...

Apollo:

Tr-Trucy? Let's leave. Now.

Trucy:

...?

(After talking to Phoenix Wright at Hickfield Clinic)

June 15 Kitaki Mansion

Apollo:

You... You're the woman from the Kitaki place!

???:

Y-Yes...

Trucy:

I knew it! Something's the matter and you want our help, right? Well, you've come to the Wright place! This way, please...

Alita:

Um... Thank you. My name is Alita Tiala. I... have a request.

(After getting Letter of Request)

June 15 Hickfield Clinic

Apollo:

Huh...? Where's Mr. Wright?

Trucy:

Maybe he's getting an examination again?

Apollo:

How many does he need!? (Wasn't it just a sprain?)

Trucy:

Too bad, Polly! You wanted to show off your request to Daddy, didn't you!

Apollo:

What? Me? No!

Trucy:

Oh? That's a surprise.

Apollo:

L-Let's just come back later, shall we?

June 15 Detention Center

Trucy:

Polly! You look as happy as a clam in its shell.

Apollo:

For a lawyer this is it, the place where the battle begins!

Guard:

...Ahem. You need something?

Apollo:

Aaah! Yes, we're attorneys. I was hoping we could see Mr. Wocky Kitaki?

Guard:

Sorry, he's in questioning right now. Could take a while.

Trucy:

Drat. Oh well, guess we'll have to come back later then.

Apollo:

So much for that battle...

(After getting Letter of Request)

June 15 Kitaki Mansion

Apollo:

(So this is it... My first murder crime scene!)

Officer:

Ah, it's you kids again. Look, can't you find some other place to play...

Trucy:

We're not playing! We're um, "investigating"! Aren't we, Apollo?

Apollo:

Sir, I have a letter of request here.

Officer:

Letter of... huh? Why does it say "Hit Request" on it?

Apollo:

(Ms. Tiala must have used the Kitaki's stationery...)

???:

Excuse me, coming through.

Officer:

Ah! It's you! Mr. Gavin!

Apollo:

...! (Who's this guy...?)

???:

I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man.

Apollo:

Mr.... Gavin?

???:

Ah, Fräulein. What is a sweet morsel like you doing in such a dismal place? Can I help?

Trucy:

... Y-Yes! The police man officer fellow here won't let us in! We even have a letter of request!

???:

You must be exhausted, standing out here! I will take you to the scene of the crime.

Trucy:

Oooh! R-Really!?

???:

...By your leave, Officer.

Officer:

Ya... Yes sir! Of course, sir!

???:

Ah ha. Very well. This way, Fräulein...

Trucy:

Whee!

Apollo:

... Hey! What about me!?

(After getting Letter of Request)

June 15 People Park

???:

...On that note, enjoy your investigation!

Trucy:

Thank you! Will we see you again...?

???:

Ask the wind, Fräulein. I'll be riding on it!

Apollo:

...Who was that?

Trucy:

Eeeeeeeeeek! Apollo! Look! A c-corpse!

Apollo:

Whaaaat!? ...Hey, it's just a mannequin.

Trucy:

Wow. It sure got me.

???:

Ahem. Might I ask exactly what it is you're doing here? Oh, it's you. How did you kids get in here?

Trucy:

Oh! This guy, well, he was more like a prince really. He let us in...

???:

Him again. That glimmerous fop, always getting in my way... Anyway! This scene is off limits.

Apollo:

Excuse me? We have a letter of request!

???:

...Hmm. One moment.

Apollo:

(Why is she holding that big magnifying glass...?)

???:

.............................. I'd recognize that handwriting anywhere. Scientific analysis says this was written by Alita Tiala.

Apollo:

...Thanks. (It took you thirty minutes to figure that out!?) So... what's up with the mannequin there?

???:

It's taking the place of the body, preserving the scene of the crime as it was found.

Apollo:

(The body... was pulling the stand !?)

Ema:

So, you're a defense attorney, are you? Detective Ema Skye. I'm in charge of this crime scene.

Trucy:

She doesn't seem that happy about it.

Apollo:

...She doesn't seem that happy about many things.

Ema:

I trust you know how to stay out of the way. I always carry two pairs of handcuffs... just in case.

(After talking to Ema Skye and examining noodle stand at People Park)

June 15 Hickfield Clinic

Phoenix:

Ah, you're back! Run into some problems?

Trucy:

Oh, Polly, didn't you want to tell Daddy something?

Apollo:

Who? Me? No! I'm fine. Really.

Phoenix:

What's this? So there is a problem?

Apollo:

No, no problem. Actually, I got a defense request.

Phoenix:

A defense request! That is a problem.

Apollo:

Huh...?

Phoenix:

I've given up the court. I'm not a lawyer anymore.

Apollo:

... The request was for me!

Phoenix:

Oh, right. You're a lawyer, aren't you?

Apollo:

(He's doing that on purpose! I know it!)

Phoenix:

...Now, what was the problem again? Having trouble investigating the crime scene in the park?

Trucy:

Yeah. That detective woman won't let us!

Phoenix:

...Go to the office. Under the silk top hat you'll find a bottle of white powder. Try taking that to this detective.

Apollo:

"White powder"...? (I hope it's not what I think it is.)

Phoenix:

Just take it to her. It'll be fine, you'll see. Oh, and tell her I said hi.

(After meeting Ema Skye)

June 15 Eldoon's House

Trucy:

Oh, Mr. Eldoon...! Hello?

Apollo:

Looks like he left.

Trucy:

And we found his stand and everything! What about our free bowl!?

Apollo:

Oh, too bad, looks like we'll have to wait a little longer for that bowl. So sorry.

Trucy:

Aw, what a bummer.

(Wright Anything Agency, after talking to Phoenix Wright about Ema Skye)

(People Park, after getting White Powder)

(Clearing all "Talk" options and getting all People Park evidence leads to:)

Ema:

So... have you met the defendant?

Apollo:

Ah. Uh... No.

Ema:

Visiting hours are almost over at the detention center. You might think about wrapping up here and heading over.

Apollo:

Good idea. (I don't know what good it will do. We have a witness, and a knife with prints... Have I mentioned I've got a bad feeling about this?)

Ema:

Don't worry, it's like a Wright tradition.

Apollo:

(Some traditions I can live without.)

June 15 Detention Center Visitor's Room

Guard:

I'm sorry. Meeting hours for the day are all done.

Apollo:

B-But we still have three minutes!

Guard:

I'll put in your request, but don't expect anything. The father's talking in the private room with him.

Trucy:

The father? You mean like a priest?

Guard:

I mean the suspect's father, Mr. Winfred "Big Wins" Kitaki himself.

Apollo:

(Not someone I care to meet...)

???:

...Die you--!!!

???:

...You're the one on your way out, old--!!!

Apollo:

......

Trucy:

.........

Guard:

Ah. They're here.

Apollo:

(Whoa! This guy radiates power! Power.. with a cute apron?)

???:

You Wocky's lawyer?

Apollo:

Y-Yes, sir!

Big Wins:

Well, I'm Big Wins Kitaki, fourth head of the Kitaki family... capice?

Apollo:

Er... Actually, I came to speak to your son.

Big Wins:

... Mr. Justice.

Apollo:

Yes?

Big Wins:

My son's innocent. He killed no one. If he were found guilty... it wouldn't be good. ...Capice?

Apollo:

Y-Yes! I'm all about capicing! Capice'd loud and clear!

Big Wins:

You gotta do more than just understand to make it. You'll learn, though. Even if the lesson comes at the end of your short life.

Apollo:

(I don't feel so good...)

Wocky:

What's the big idea, old man! You can't treat me like a kid no more, not now! You know I... I... I wanted to go to the clink! I like it here!

Apollo:

You... must be Wocky?

Wocky:

A G's not a G till he does hard time! Bizzoooy! You'll see. When I get out of here, things'll change!

Big Wins:

Silence! My apologies, Mr. Justice... He's usually such a nice boy.

Apollo:

(Forgive me if I have a hard time believing that.)

Wocky:

Ha! You can't take me under your wing this time, old man! You heard me! I don't need no trial! I did it!

Big Wins:

...I think that's enough for today, Mr. Justice. Don't let me down tomorrow.

Apollo:

So much for talking to our client.

Trucy:

But we made so much progress today! We even found my panties! I had fun, at least.

Apollo:

Of course, the biggest mystery of all remains... (How am I supposed to build a case for the trial!?)

Trucy:

Oh, almost forgot, it's time for my show! Tonight I'm performing at the Wonder Bar! You should come check it out.

To be continued.
