Episode 4 Turnabout Reminiscence

Edgeworth: Kay Faraday... the young lady who calls herself the second Yatagarasu... The piece of cloth that she conjured up has taken me back to many years ago...

-

-- 7 Years Earlier --

Defendant: Yeah, that's right. I did it. I killed the guy. But it was the Great Thief Yatagarasu that tole me to do it!



Lawyer: I ask the defendant... Just what exactly are you trying to say?

Defendant: Don't you get it? I know the true identity of the Yatagarasu! ...The Yatagarasu is the man standing over there at the prosecutor's bench!

Prosecutor: Are you saying... that I'm the Yatagarasu?

Defendant: Don't you dare deny it! You told me to kill him when you snuck into the embassy!

Lawyer: Are you claiming that Mr. Faraday is the Yatagarasu?

Defendant: That's exactly what I'm saying!



Prosecutor: Mr. Rell! I think we've heard just about enough out of you...!

Defendant: Your Honor! Please listen to me! I'm telling the truth... You've gotta believe meeeeeee!

Judge: Hmph... In accordance with the defendant's accusation... ...a new prosecutor shall be called to replace Mr. Faraday. This court will be in recess until the new prosecutor is ready.

September 10, 3:20 PM District Court 3rd Floor Lobby

Edgeworth: (...It's almost time for me to enter the courtroom. And so, it is that my first assigment as a prosecutor will be... ...as a replacement for a prosecutor who has been accused by the defendant.)

???: Edgeworth.

Edgeworth: ! ...Sir.

???: Have you read over all of the documents regarding this trial?

Edgeworth: Yes, sir. I've memorized everything there is to know.

Manfred: Very good. The paperwork for the prosecutor substitution is just about complete. Edgeworth... always bear in mind that as your mentor, I, Manfred von Karma... ...will accept nothing short of perfection.

Edgeworth: I understand, sir. To have the chance to stand in court at such an early stage in my career... ...I am honored and proud.

Manfred: As I have watched over your studies, I am giving you this very rare chance. Prove yourself. Crush the defendant's pathetic lies into oblivion.

Edgeworth: .........Yes, sir! (That such a legendary prosecutor is watching over and judging my performance... ...I have to perfect in every way!)

Edgeworth: If it's true that the Yatagarasu showed up at the Cohdopian Embassy... ...what could he or she have been better?

Manfred: Hmph... No doubt to steal any suspicious accounting records and release them publicly. Or, more likely, to steal secrets from the Cohdopian Embassy itself... ...since the item that the Yatagarasu stole from there was sent to the police.

Edgeworth: What was it that the Yatagarasu sent to the police?

Manfred: ...I don't know the details. Anything related to the Yatagarasu is getting the top-secret treatment. Still, I find it very ironic. By returning the stolen item to the police, it was proof positive that the Yatagarasu... ...had infiltrated the embassy on the same day the staff member was killed. Criminals have a way of incriminating themselves, wouldn't you say?

Edgeworth: That would have to be the first time the Yatagarasu has left evidence behind, correct?

Manfred: Yes, indeed. If you wish to learn more about the Yatagarasu, then I suggest you ask Faraday.

Edgeworth: Mr. Faraday...?

Manfred: He happens to be the prosecutor in charge of the Yatagarasu case, as well.

Edgeworth: (He's the prosecutor in charge of both the KG-8 Incident and the Yatagarasu case? Mr. Faraday really has a lot on his plate...)

Manfred: ...What is it, little girl?

???: ......... ...You're scary, mister.

Manfred: !

Edgeworth: Did you need something?

???: Umm... I want to trade these coins with you!

Edgeworth: A fistful of dimes, quarters, and pennies... but it looks like you've exactly a dollar. Is this what you want?

???: Thanks! That's exactly what I needed!

Edgeworth: Could that child be here to watch the trial?

Manfred: How disrespectful for a child like that to be running around inside the courthouse! Does no one have respect for this country's judicial system anymore!?

Bailiff: The paperwork for the prosecutor substitution is complete!

Manfred: Why you! Do you even know how much time there is left before the trial resumes!?

Bailiff: I... I-I'm so sorry!

Manfred: I can have you mopping up this courthouse instead of protecting it in an instant!

Bailiff: ! * gulp*

Edgeworth: It's no bother, sir. Not being completely prepared could prove to be a prefect handicap for me.

Manfred: Hmph. A proud one you are. You had better collect the evidence from Faraday and prepare yourself. It's time for your debut, Edgeworth!
